Dear Friends,

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can
change the world. Indeed, its the only thing that ever has."
As you know how the flat earth believers and their cohorts, the seculars have been deriding every thing our culture and civilization put forward, from our epics to eating habits. And they call themselves scientific, rational yet advocate beef eating contrary to science which tells us increased risks in humans consuming such flesh which is only befitting for a jackal .
Same contempt is shown also to our epics dismissing them as mythology while their superstitions remain proven since they are scientific, at least that is what they say.
Regardless their attempts to deny, denigrate every thing India in general and Hindus in particular hold , plenty of evidence is still available despite all wiping out universities, libraries containing much more .
For instance there is Dwaraka ruins seen submerged in sea just as predicted in Mahabharat.
Here are some links for further details in this regard.
And then there is astronomy. The authors of Ramayana, Mahabharata meticulously recorded configuration of stars, constellations and planets at important events that took place. Please see article below, 'Sky as witness'.
Since these two, one under water, the other in the skies both are unreachable for those who brought composite culture, they escaped iconoclastic Islamic ax, hence still exist intact. And one can learn , reconstruct our past from these as well , actually should do so despite howls of saffronization from usual suspects. Because it will tell the world as well as convince our own people as well the continuity of our civilization from ages just as recorded in our epics. Time is also a continuity. A great past will and should lead to a great future.
Best wishes,
G V Chelvapilla
