Do Vedas suggest eating beef? Detailed rebuttal by Agniveer

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 11:23 pm By Desh Kapoor

Agniveer refutes the contention by a lot of communists and anti-Hindu writers that beef was not only allowed but also regularly eaten as per the Vedas. The article presents specific verses and translations and also issues an open challenge to cite any Vedic verse which says this clearly. Source Link: There is no Beef is Vedas: Part I In part 2, Agniveer becomes even more specific in terms of criticism leveled against its assertions with even more verses and translations... Read more

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 10:41 pm By Desh Kapoor

Anyone who has been to India – specially on a Highway in a car – knows that his or her being alive has to rank as the greatest miracle in this world. One can possibly explain in complete minutiae the nuances of Quantum Physics in flat 10 minutes, but it impossible to comprehend how could one even beat the heavy odds of a car making it through the Highway journey in India when it came face-to-face with huge trucks so...

Android is the Clear King of the Smartphones Market

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 10:19 pm By Desh Kapoor

Here are two tables which tell the story of smartphones market share – specially in case of Operating systems. This assumes importance since Microsoft has come out with its new Operating System called Windows 8. Many proclaim it as the greatest move by MSFT since Windows 95 hit the market and catapulted Microsoft to its heights. However, when one looks at the lead that Android has slowly but surely amassed in the area of Mobile Operating system, one wonders if... Read more

Crony Capitalism: Kejriwal's Ambani expose' in brief

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 10:40 pm By Desh Kapoor

The expose on Mukesh Ambani by Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan was indeed explosive. The way Arvind Kejriwal is going, he will shake up the entire system in an unprecedented manner. Which, in my eyes, is a great thing. The only way to take on this system of corruption and greed perpetuated by corrupt businessmen and politicians is to shake it to its roots. And, indeed, there is no one as brave and fearless at the moment as Kejriwal. I... Read more

French Disciple of Dalai Lama, Matthieu Ricard, is "World's Happiest man"

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 3:39 pm By Desh Kapoor

Researchers at University of Wisconsin have found out that Western Buddhist Monk and a disciple of Dalai Lama, Matthieu Ricard (a molecular geneticist by training), produces the highest level of Gama waves (responsible for consciousness, attention, learning and memory) – ever produced in their recorded history. So, hilariously, they were quick to announce that he – one who has learnt his meditation – from Dalai Lama – is the “Happiest Man in the World”. Vanity of Western world and its... Read more

India's poor being used as guinea pigs for trials by Multinational Drug Companies

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 12:13 pm By Desh Kapoor

Some British and German drug companies have been using poor people in India as guinea pigs to conduct human trials of their new drugs. They use falsehoods, deception and outright lies to hoodwink the poor, since they don’t have enough resources nor access to good care anyway. They are provided expensive drugs free of charge – which surprises them – but it comes at a huge cost of their lives sometimes. Look at the case of Narayan. In a different... Read more

Geelani against Amarnath Yatra: Kashmiriyat my foot, its Islamization of the Valley!

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 10:50 pm By Desh Kapoor

Kashmir and the “movement” there, I have held, has nothing to do with Kashmiryat or any Human Rights. It is Islamization of a part of India. Period. With Islamization comes throwing out of any other faith, belief system and religious minorities. As long as Muslims are in minority, they cannot tire reiterating about the minority rights. But as soon as they come in majority, even the pretense of concern for minorities goes right out of the window. Thousands of temples... Read more
