Nijam Today – 13 March 2023: Pragna Bharati and Brhat jointly organise and host Dr Rajiv Malhotra and Prof Vijaya Viswanathan between 13 -15 March 2023 in Hyderabad. As part of this programme, a press meet was held at Hotel Taj Krishna, Hyderabad, on the evening of 13th March 2023.
Shri LV Subramaniam, former Chief Secretary to the Government of Andhra Pradesh, presided over the event. In his opening remarks, he said that the divisive narratives from abroad are creating rifts and schisms in the social fabric of India.
Shri Aravinda Rao, former DGP of the united Andhra Pradesh, has said that the book ‘Breaking India’ was a breakthrough work that presented irrefutable evidence on the forces that exploited India’s fault lines. Since then, Shri Rao has met him during the Swadeshi Indology conferences in Delhi. All his works which include Breaking India, Battle for Sanskrit, AI, Snakes in the Ganga, Battle for IITs and many others, have been eye-openers to all Indians who have a national interest in mind and are interested in national security issues. He invited friends in the press, electronic and digital media to participate in the unfolding events of the next 2-3 days.
Shri Sarangapani, working on the Telugu translation of Sri Rajiv Malhotra’s latest book ‘Snakes in the Ganga’, said that this exposes important breaking-India forces far more sinister and sinister in their agenda to create rifts in Indian society and polity. The author also exposes the Indian industrialists investing in creating endowments in foreign universities like Harvard, which are acting in a hostile manner towards India. The book also exposed the Big Tech and AI algorithms which can create animosity against India. Sri Sarangapani said the book is extremely well-researched and well-documented, and will be a source of tremendous knowledge.
Answering questions from the press, Dr Rajiv Malhotra said that despite so many Indic works by Infinity Foundation and others, due to great degradation in intellectual and public life, democracy has become a policy of appeasement and emotional pegs. Along with this, the lack of a proper education system and values degrades the nation. The govt. is hiring foreign experts, and universities, implementing foreign curricula etc, which are not giving a level-playing field to the Indian universities, thus preventing the nation from becoming Vishwa-gurus. Instead Indian nation has become a nation of Vishwa-chelas.
Dr Vijaya Vishwanathan said that parents have to become more proactive and not leave education to the government education system. Governments are not doing due diligence when hiring foreigners. Even a tiny country like Singapore has cut its ties with Yale university by refusing to have in their curriculae American liberal arts, social sciences and humanities as they did not fit Singapore’s ethos. On the other hand, India is getting into ties with US universities which will primarily unskill Indian students and create hordes of activists.
Dr Malhotra asked if India is ready for a true democracy. He said the education system and universities are not building character, Dharma gurus also are not teaching Shastras or Neeti sutras from Mahabharata etc., so the left ecosystem is filling the ensuing vacuum. Our billionaires are not putting money into R&D and hence are importing technology like ChatGPT etc., while other countries like China have created their technologies and are also exporting them. India is just supplying labor to American big-tech companies. Microsoft, Google etc, which are in India for decades, are just becoming tech-coolies and tech-chelas. Various departments work in parallel, and education departments and curricula differ from what the workforce needs in the industrial sector. State govt needs to take responsibility for designing curricula. Indian social and political discourses are also set from abroad.
Dr Vijaya said bureaucrats make education policies and not stakeholders or subject matter experts; she taught Ganita shastra, Samskritam etc, to students. Cosmology and higher levels of knowledge are present in Hindu shastras. However, there are no mechanics to teach them to younger generations. Algorithms setting the internet are the new gurus; we must understand the new mechanics.
Dr Malhotra said despite flagging the issue sometime back regarding the ongoing appointment of the US ambassador to India, Indian media has failed to pick up the issue. In contrast, the ambassador-designate has tweeted about his intention to work with individuals and Human Rights organizations on ‘core’ issues in India, which is extremely unprecedented.
The press meeting concluded with Dr Rajiv Malhotra and Prof Vijaya Viswanathan handling all questions with great expertise and elan.
