[@Dr.PeteMalloy-qs1cr]

Instead of funding Harvard, Indian billionaires should consider supporting Indian scholars willing to translate original Indic works written on palm leaves in Sanskrit and never translated. As mentioned by Sanjiv Sanyal at end of video. What a way to obtain immortality for everyone involved!

[@mayankindian3750]

Yes brother 😊❤💪🇮🇳🕉️🥰

[@shobhanamukherjee4735]

Totally agree with you

[@sriprakashhr9578]

Thwre is a non profit organisation in bengaluru named TARA PRAKASHANA that has the expertise in translating and preserving ancient palm leaves. The founder trustee, is Prif. P.R. MUKUND, Ph. D, professor emeritus at the Rochester Institute of Ttexhnology.

Alternatively, provide tax concession only to funds provided to Indian universities and research institutions, but tax funds sent to foreign universities. That should fix serious problems!

" a civilization waiting to be discovered " - what a phrase to conclude such a thought provoking discussion

[@rameshmuttur1236]

Sanjivji, your explanation of Aśoka’s “greatness” seems very very logical. I also feel that Asoka was made great because, he denounced Santana Dharma and embraced Buddhism! So, excellent armor to beat down Santana Dharma

[@lajwantishahani1225]

Also because of the Buddhist concept of Ahimsa which the British ascribed to Ashoka. As a result of this we've had to give up our territories 70 years ago. Historically though, none of the Buddhist, Jain or Ajivaka kings practiced ahimsa. It was meant only for the Bhikshu.

[@bld-cd6xb]

​@@lajwantishahani1225 agreed. Non-violence concept of our dharmic philosophies were twisted and misused to make us weak.

[@vaibhavyadav9912]

Sri Sanjeev Sanyal is always a pleasure to hear. 👍

[@jasha9sandhu]

So to conclude - " Ashoka the great" is as much as a hoax as " akbar the great" - both carefully minted constructs by motivated Leftist historians to suit their own socio-political ideology .

[@mahendra007nagpure8]

[@avinashnaik6148]

Modis greatness is proper delegation of work responsibilities to his cabinet ministers. Sanyalji is one among them and is very close to Modi. He is so young and knows our history in detail and hence we can be rest assured that under NDA new amendments in our Constitution, laws etc will be in line with our past great philosophers and think tanks.

[@lapsyup1244]

Hey Prakhar "I am currently in the states right now. It’s a great delight to watch your podcast, but just a request: if you are reading the comments, please bring some PhD professors in Sanskrit or experts who can elaborate on the matter regarding manuscripts yet to be translated. I believe it will spread awareness among a large section of society who will step up and we may uncover some lost knowledge or lost parts of history from those manuscripts.

[@AyushKumar-zw7xg]

Because all this education is derived from Britishers and Congress, who never focused on their own country

[@ks20234]

Completely endorse Sanyal Ji's point about translating the manuscripts. I think despite all the destruction India has the highest number of manuscripts. I didn't learn Sanskrit, though I am trying. But it's imp that Sanskrit is taught in schools and in future we have scholars who bring all this hidden knowledge to light

Yes 😊❤

[@shishirtamotia3992]

Knowledge is what is “known “, thus we must take time to understand what actually happened in the past. Look at the outstanding work done by Nilesh Nilkanth Oak who discovered the technology used by in ancient Indian texts “Ramayan “ and “Mahabharat “. We are now fairly certain abut the time of “Ravan Vadh” and Bhishma’s “Ichcha Mrityu “. Nilesh Oak’s theory is based on the position of stars Jupiter and Arundhati. Arundhati moves around Jupiter in about 28,000 years. The calculations presented by Nilesh bring the accuracy to probably one / two weeks. We must be thankful to Ashoka at least in one sense that he left inscriptions that give us the sense of his thoughts and the technology available in his time.

[@adithyaavadhani]

41:30 in fact, the phrase “the enemy of my enemy…” is attributed to Kautilya. It is from his theory of the Rajamandala in Sanskrit that the phrase travelled to become ‘amicus meus, inimicus inimici mei’ in Latin and then its modern English form in the 19th Century.

Fantastic! Amazing content. Suggestion- If you can please make it more engaging by like taking questions from the audience and asking them to Sanjeev sir. You could also give us short material we can read on as a follow up to this conversation like Think school does. It can become sort of a community interested in intellectual topics like Economics, History and Governance etc. if we take it further. You can also make a separate channel later on if you wish as there is so much material here. But do expand on this. It was a fascinating conversation

54:00 Very true about the so-called Ashoka chakra. In the Vedic idea of kingship, the sovereign is seen as the earthly embodiment of Indra, the king of the heavens. When speaking about Indra Rigveda 1.32.15(2) says "he(Indra), verily, rules, the King of those men who can see, like a felloe of wheel around spokes, {he} became {around} them." The felloe i.e. the rim of the wheel symbolizes the king, and spokes sysmbolize his subjects that he holds together protecting them as well as forming a functional wheel.

Please open your own channel Sanjeev sir and open the discourse more scholarly and formally , going deep in to it and explaining things with deeper insight and supporting your viewpoint with scholarly literature and other available literature of that time with us . You coming to such shows where people hardly know about Chanakya and they having such a low level of understanding of political economy really is not worth watching as they can't really extract out anything much significant.

Prakhar you have so much reach, can you please find if there are any initiatives by government or so called new Hindu leaders on Creating more apps for Sanskrit stories and cartoons. We love learning the language but find less engaging due to lack of availability in the platforms that current generation uses.
