Comment on Hoax – “Giant Skeleton Found In India” by Sunfighter86

While these “giants” are not necessarily against Darwin’s theory, Christians in the US & Australia use these types of pics as proof positive that the biblical myths are historical documents and not morality tales.

Great Post. Salutations to the Maharaj.

Can you also please expand on Shivaji’s policy on State-Craft.

This post made an awesome read.

The fourth point is especially thought provoking. Truly, a little foresight goes a long long way.

Comment on The Engineer Must Be Shot Dead !!! by GS

And once the engineer was shot dead there was no one to actually fix the washing machine either. Strange obsession with hard-stops (a very western obsession btw)? No continuous processes?

Yes, I actually get the general import of the article. Good blog.

Dr. Biswas…I do agree with ur views…The public mind works overtime in building up the heros of the past….I would like to see this letter of Vidyasagar…I cannot imagine what actuated him to write such a letter…

Hi ,

I read this article today and was amazed to see the corelation with stong management principles . Any high quality organisation is build up only on strong visionary leadership and hands on understanding of the environment. Nothing can be better example than the whole life span of Shivaji and his process of building up the “Swaraj”

Thanks for putting the things together the way you have done .

Brilliant article. Analysis of Shivaji’s strategy, governance and generalship have been brought out so well that it gives glimpses into the personality of a great king and a general. Effective communication is a key to success and to think that in those days and times, Shivaji devised means of communications tell a great deal into the modern concept of “Military Appreciation” carried out by Directors of Military Operations. That was the key to the success of Chhatrapati.

As a first step, if that is you can read Marathi, there is book “Shriman Yogi” by Ranjit Desai. Then again if you can read Marathi, there are volumes written by Riyasatkar G S Sardesai on Maratha History. As for English, you will have to check out Sir Jadu Nath Sircar and R C Majumdar. All these facts can be verified chapter and verse.

Bonjour,

Sometimes, USA policies look like family business. And it should not be forgotten that the United States are in good company here: India, Pakistan, North Korea, Syria, Egypt, Congo, another African state but I have forgotten its name.

In my opinion this indicates a flawed democracy, at the very least.
