Suppression of History and India's Civilization

Last updated on: June 2, 2012 at 11:55 pm By Desh Kapoor

Juan Armenta Camacho and Cynthia Irwin-Williams started excavations in 1962 at Hueyatlaco, which is an archeological site in Valsequillo, Mexico. The team was joined by Virginia Steen-McIntyre in 1966. What the excavation came up with should have shaken the very root of Historical studies in the world. If, there hadn’t been a concerted and deliberate campaign to cover up the findings by obfuscating the evidence and discrediting McIntyre. In a paper published in Quaternary Research in 1981 by Steen-McIntyre, Fyxell... Read more

Impact of Climate Change and Saraswati River study and analysis

Last updated on: June 2, 2012 at 12:48 pm By Desh Kapoor

A recent science article suggested that the Harrapan civilization ended due to a flood and climate change. The new study suggests that the decline in monsoon rains led to weakened river dynamics, and played a critical role both in the development and the collapse of the Harappan culture, which relied on river floods to fuel their agricultural surpluses. From the new research, a compelling picture of 10,000 years of changing landscapes emerges. Before the plain was massively settled, the wild... Read more

Vatican's Sex Parties used Emanuela Orlandi, missing for 30 years!

Last updated on: May 27, 2012 at 7:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

Emanuela Orlandi, daughter of a Vatican employee, went missing 30 years ago. Now, Father Gabriele Amorth, appointed by Late Pope John Paul II as Church’s Chief Exorcist has now created a complete storm! Missing of the girl has been a question for a long time. In the latest twist in one of the Holy See’s most enduring mysteries, he said the 15-year-old schoolgirl was snatched from the streets of central Rome in the summer of 1983 and forced to take...

Kerala Communist Leader admits – We Kill Our Political Opponents

Last updated on: May 27, 2012 at 5:10 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a rather damning case, a senior functionary of the Kerala CPM – MM Mani, has said that CPM has regularly killed its political opponents. He has talked of 13. Just recently a CPM rebel and RMP leader TP Chandrasekharan was murdered and CPM activists have been arrested in that case. Narendra Modi, Gujarat’s Chief Minister, has rightly suggested that this is a serious revelation. The RSS and the Hindu activists have time and again talked of persecution at the... Read more

An Indian Sexologist's view of changing lives in India

Last updated on: May 26, 2012 at 8:14 pm By Desh Kapoor

In India, sex is often talked of in hushed tones. In a country which gave Kamasutra, sexology is a subject that very strongly misunderstood. Often, the weakness and ability to do sex is what people are always trying to resolve – as evident in a lot of advertisements all over the town. Read an interesting article of how Dr. Narayana Reddy, arguably India’s #2 sexologist, got started with his work in Chennai. His first case seems very interesting. A couple... Read more

Pak PM Gilani's interview to CNN and the larger malaise

Last updated on: May 25, 2012 at 4:17 pm By Desh Kapoor

Recently, there was an interview by CNN with Pakistan PM Yousuf Raza Gilani. Two particular portions of that interview have become extremely insulting for the Pakistanis. 1. “Look me in the eye”: In one part, the anchor asks the Pakistani PM “The states seem to believe that there is enough evidence that the Al Qaeda leader is in Pakistan. Look me in the eye and tell me what more do you need?” The way she gestures and asks him to... Read more

"Are my hair just like yours, Mr. President?"

It is a tradition in White House that a departing staff members get to have photographs taken of their family with the President.

Is Pakistan taking on US in a high stakes gamble?

Last updated on: May 23, 2012 at 10:58 am By Desh Kapoor

Pakistan seems to be digging a greater hole for itself. It has played its hand way over its “pay grade” by going after US and snubbing them openly. First it was a snub to Obama – where the US President had given an invite to Pakistan’s Zardari at the last minute with the hope of getting the route for NATO supplies opened. There was no deal. When the White House sent a last-minute invitation for Asif Ali Zardari to attend... Read more
