Cricket_Hacker Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Varanasi: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy said that content of history text books in schools was rubbish and the time has come when the Centre should make necessary changes. He was addressing a seminar on 'I and my India' hosted by Youth in Action at Swatantrata Bhawan on Banaras Hindu University campus on Saturday. Swamy surprised the gathering with his historical finding that demon king Ravana and his wife Mandodari were dalits from UP. He said that Ravana was born at Basrakh near Ghaziabad while Mandodari was from Meerut region. After being blessed by Lord Shiva, Ravana dethroned Kuber to capture power in Lanka. The history being taught in schools was written during British era, when the Indian society was divided by drawing a line in the name of Aryan and Dravidian, said Swamy. Instead of legendary personalities of country, invaders like Babar and Sher Shah Suri are being taught to children. Terming existing education system as divisive for country, he said that the education structure divides Hindus and Muslims. Differences were created on caste lines. Sanskrit, regional and folk languages were marginalized to maintain the monopoly of English. He said that BJP will promote indigenous and value-based educational system. He again said that all who have born on this soil are Hindus and it could be proved by testing their DNA. Muslims of the country also know this fact but it does not suit their clerics, he added.
BeautifulGame Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Swamy needs to read Ramayana first before sputting rubbish lol
Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Swamy needs to read Ramayana first before sputting rubbish lol You ignoramus, we are Virat hindus and we can say whatever we want :proud:
Desi Cartman Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 What an idiot, everybody knows that Ravana was from Nagaland. Since he was a shiv bhakth, he preferred to be born in a state which had the word naga in it
Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 TOI is lying, says Subramanian Swamy on report that he said Ravana was a dalit http://www.thenewsminute.com/politics/1176

Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Another ToI hit job on SRT was busted today. This newspaper is seriously sick. I mean exaggerating can be okay but inventing stories on your own' date=' seriously ?[/quote'] TOI has issued a clarification on the story itself and edited out the mention of Tendulkar. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/IIT-Delhi-director-RK-Shevgaonkar-quits-over-demand-for-Subramanian-Swamys-dues/articleshow/45663599.cms
Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 what a terrible newspaper TOI is I'm glad you didn't mention the standard template argument of - left leaning and stop in revenues hence not worth reading. :--D
G_B_ Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I'm glad you didn't mention the standard template argument of - left leaning and stop in revenues hence not worth reading. :--D thats reserved for the hindu (the paper) , Guardian and NYT atleast those papers have some standard. You seriously have to wonder on TOI and the Times group in general. Times Now is not exactly number on integrity.
G_B_ Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 btw on twitter Swamy is implying either a missionary organisation or the congress has done this on purpose. says he will reveal details later.

G_B_ Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 ToI is out and out commercial paper you cannot expect integrety from tabloids. this is why we need stronger laws freedom of speech does not mean rumour.

You seriously have to wonder on TOI and the Times group in general. Times Now is not exactly number on integrity. That logic is fail because leaning doesn't correlate with to quality. Every paper has a leaning and just because it does not align with yours it doesn't mean it is poor in quality. Also, every major newspaper in the world has revenue declines and this isn't because they are left leaning but rather because of the digital age. Correlation =/= causation fallacy and all that. The Times group are the first news traders in the Indian media. They are public about it and yet people will refer and cite it because it aligns with their political leanings.
bulbul Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 this is why we need stronger laws freedom of speech does not mean rumour. Lol....already people crying media is purchased by Modi & co
Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 this is why we need stronger laws freedom of speech does not mean rumour. Not happening. Laws can't control tabloids - historically proven. In case of news, you are fed what you like to read. Stop feeding the troll is the apt argument here.
Crookbond Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Lol....already people crying media is purchased by Modi & co Just because people mention that media has close ties with BJP does not mean they are "crying". Don't take it personally, but your lack of respect for other people's opinions or facts that do not suit your opinion is appalling to say the least.

People aligned with ToI mainly becuase of its simple language,too many nice girls pictures :winky: PS : they used to sell for 1 or 2rs for many months....
