When copying the #Mahabharata in #Persian in 18th-century #India, did one praise Allah or Rama? Sometimes, the copyist praised both. More Hindus read the epics in Persian (versus Sanskrit) in this period. Images courtesy of Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin

Brahmins, Vaishyas and Jains have done irreversible damage to India. Kids are malnourished because they resisted providing non-vegetarian food in schools as mid-day meals.
This is how China provides lunch in its government schools. What is stopping us? https://t.co/qLK5kJxnzU
