How old do you think the idea of having "tiles in houses" could be?

I thought maybe 60 or 70 yrs before coming across something interesting!

#HarappanCivilisation

The Harappan cities, one of the earliest known urban culture of the Indian subcontinent, had a civilized way of living - dating back to 2600 BC!
Every house of Harappan cities had a courtyard and 6-7 rooms on 3 sides, few houses had wells, one house had stairs leading to roof top and one house had floor built of burnt 'tiles decorated with geometrical designs'.
In 1969, archaeologist BK Thapar excavated at Kalibangan (Rajasthan, India). They dug out a settlement which dates back to 2600 BC.

He was shocked when he saw the 4500 year old houses had tiled floors. And the tiled floors were painted with a design.
He said, "This is exactly the design on the floor of my own house".

If you think the west has taught us modernisation, civilisation or 'way of living' then you're wrong! Wake up!!

अस्य श्री गायत्री ध्यान श्लोक:
(gAyatri dhyAna shlOka)
• This shloka to meditate personified form of वेदमाता गायत्री was given by Bhagwaan Brahma to Sage yAgnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्य).

• 14th shloka of गायत्री कवचम् which is taken from वशिष्ठ संहिता, goes as follows..


• मुक्ता-विद्रुम-हेम-नील धवलच्छायैर्मुखस्त्रीक्षणै:।
muktA vidruma hEma nIla dhavalachhAyaiH mukhaistrlkShaNaiH.

• युक्तामिन्दुकला-निबद्धमुकुटां तत्वार्थवर्णात्मिकाम्॥
yuktAmindukalA nibaddha makutAm tatvArtha varNAtmikam.

• गायत्रीं वरदाभयाङ्कुश कशां शुभ्रं कपालं गदाम्।
gAyatrIm vardAbhayANkusha kashAm shubhram kapAlam gadAm.

• शंखं चक्रमथारविन्दयुगलं हस्तैर्वहन्ती भजै॥
shankham chakramathArvinda yugalam hastairvahantIm bhajE.

This shloka describes the form of वेदमाता गायत्री.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.
LW & RW Part 2

Time to replace the terms Right Wing & Left Wing with 'Rational & Irrational Sides'?

Go through the Part 1 thread first, you'll understand better. https://t.co/OaUBqfc0SA


The terms LW & RW, originated during French Revolution, has completely lost its significance & are not relevant anymore, atleast in #IndianPolitics.

It is time to use more broader words "Rational & Irrational" instead of "RW & LW".

Let's understand how..

#RSS

RSS which is a Right Wing Org,

But at the same time it is "Anti FDI", "Anti Capitalist" & a wing of RSS, "the Labour Organization" has raised its voice many times in favour of "Pro Labour Rights" which are basic features of LW.

So will you say that RSS is a LW Org?

#Congress

Congress which is traditionally a Left to the centre party, in 1991 it introduced the most revolutionary economic reform, the LPG reforms (Liberalisation, Privatization & Globalisation), which are related to free market economy.

So, has Congress become a RW party??

#BJP

BJP is traditionally a Centre Right party.

But it follows all "Socialist Policies of Welfare State" like Manrega.
Did BJP ever try to stop these policies..?

No, actually BJP promotes these.

So should we say that BJP is a LW party??
Part 2

Lengthy again..

By 1974 the debate focused on whether there was a credible risk of explosion from the liquid fuel, or if this was manageable.


This risk led to the beginning of a major policy debate in the very heart of the secret state about whether this was an acceptable level of risk, or if there were alternative options open to consider.

There appears to have been a difference of opinion between different parts of government on what the right answer was in this case.

To the Royal Navy, charged with delivering the nuclear deterrent mission, the only acceptable answer was to step away from Chevaline and Polaris and upgrade to Poesidon as quickly as possible to maintain the credibility of the deterrent.

By contrast No10 was growing increasingly frustrated with what it saw as an inability by the Royal Navy to focus on delivering a capable SSBN force, & its constant demands to goldplate the solution – in one memo to the Prime Minister from his Private Secretary there is the line:

There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
