The account of Devi Sati and Lord Shiva finished shockingly with the passing of Sati. A furious and melancholy Shiva took Sati's dormant body and began the 'Rudra Tandava' or the dance of pulverization. To save the world, Lord Vishnu utilized his 'Sudarshan chakra' to cut the assortment of Sati into 51 pieces and each part fell at better places on Earth and each became a worshipped Shakti Peetha.

The Shakti Peethas speak to a solitary philosophical crease, they are a demonstration of the assorted legends of Shakti. Distinctive peethas which turned out to be heavenly at the hint of Sati's body have endured many hundreds of years and have kept alive their nearby old stories of Shakti.

The Republic of China, today, is one of biggest business accomplices of India and the example of this exchange between the two nations is, for example, would be between a royal force and its settlement.

In a definitive investigation this is the explanation that China doesn't give up on Tibet. The Chinese have denied the Tibetans their common liberties yet need to utilize the assets of their territory to build their solidarity and rule over the remainder of Asia including India. Yet, aside from the Indian security and unfamiliar foundation a huge piece of assessment producers are unmindful of the Chinese danger to India which is presently military as well as monetary. There is a lot of rapture in Indian business hovers about developing Indo-China business relationships unaware of the risks of this relationship. Indo Chinese companionship and social orders have additionally grown in numerous urban areas in India. On the off chance that in bygone times just the CPM units were the fanatics of China, the fan following has now stretched out to huge segments of little, medium and huge money managers who don't comprehend the hazards of more prominent commitment with China.

The biggest test, I think, I confronted was arranging the evident and bogus security of being an Indian instead of a Black kid, and viewing a large number of my locale acknowledge the Trilateral System, which was a methods conceived by the decision of White government to give a spot in Parliament to Indians, could see that the Indian people group were being given more advantages and admittance to fundamental human requirements when contrasted with the Black people group, and this injustice conflicted with my developmental thoughts of popular government.

It maddened me that numerous Indian individuals profited and lapped up these presents and enhanced themselves on a misguided feeling of decency. I felt that we were deceiving Nelson Mandela by our complicit acknowledgment of this better life, and when he was delivered, I trusted that the battlegrounds would be leveled. Yet, the further test at that point came for me when I saw that injustice appeared to again raise its head in that, once more, every Indian was being painted with a similar brush and taken a gander at by the Black people group as go getters and sell-outs.

South African-Indians today are truly changeable, as per the climate. They have consistently figured out how to keep a social personality that is firmly Indian, and with that comes religion. At the point when we are out there in social circumstances and working environments, we have built up this capacity to be chameleons, and fit ourselves into the mixture that is contemporary South African culture. However, in their own networks and homes, they are profoundly Indian in their lives and practices. It resembles we have these two lives, and we are continually zigzagging all around these two universes.

In order to build India's narrative to acknowledge and convey the idea that the nation i.e. India has a human progress and legacy that is a lot bigger and more established than its new history.

It is a given that the US and a few vote based systems across the world are avowedly Christian, regardless of whether Christianity isn't their state religion. It is a given that they will draw from their public ethos from their biggest religion. The fascinating inquiry we pose here that – would Indian legislators be estimated by a similar measuring stick with regards to Hinduism, the largest religion in India, in authority or state addresses? The appropriate response is no.

Christianity and popular government can coincide, yet not Hinduism and majority rules system. Here I am unfolding with my experience, mastery, and expert foundation to unload the path ahead, making the book an extremely fascinating one, to be sure.

Since India's had generally one political party in control throughout the long term a specific story was given trustworthiness. The foundation, media, the scholarly world, expressions of the human experience all became all-good like bits of a jigsaw to make an image that those in the workplace needed to project.

Terrorism is a huge issue and it can't be fought in stipulated time. It is a 24x7x365 work. The law authorization offices must be extra attentive to capture these militants before they could strike. We need to transcend our rank and strict gap to battle illegal intimidation. In a genuine vote based system, the political chief needs to provide the correct guidance and the law requirement offices need to follow it. As innovation has advanced, so has terror activities. We need stricter laws that go about as a solid prevention to any individual who wishes to make fear and annihilation in India.

Fear mongers are progressively utilizing online media and Internet for different purposes including radicalization, giving preparation, passing on messages, pondering the terror stages and so forth Innovation is making it hard to follow and block their exercises as unraveling and unscrambling requires some serious energy. The initial step should be that the law implementation offices ought to have specialists in moral hacking and building up their own apparatuses in their own labs. Workforce should be prepared in digital advances, reconnaissance, covert tasks, cross examination methods, huge information investigation and furthermore the utilization of man-made brainpower. There should be an explicit ability advancement program for officials who are taking care of psychological warfare.

Indians are really good people and when I was in India they wholeheartedly welcomed me. I was very much excited about Hindi writing. I wanted to explore it. I knew how it was translated in the USA. I started to know about Indian philosophy, Upanishads, Panchatantra and other scriptures. I’m astonished to see such a mystic, deep and complex society. I thought there must be interesting and beautiful literature. I had some peculiar interests. When I was young I had many questions about philosophy, religion and many other things. There was a Hindi poet who was known for his details and preciseness. I searched a lot with the power of reading. His were not typical stories. They had meaning. Mr. Narain takes up his stories as romance with reality. Romance is not a sense of love but imagination. He tried to create a special storytelling technique which was motivating. Translation in a new book is a little but different. We have to look at the story and its other aspects. The story is very compassionate and deep meaning and interesting. Every story is a kind of thought experiment. Various stories reflect different meanings and morals. Author used stories to ask questions about these presets. How we act how we see things not with humans but also about nature and surroundings. My experience was amazing. I will encourage others to go for translation.

Nandita Puri: There are two types of news first Hard news which comprises politics, international affairs etc. and there are Soft News which are related to entertainment i.e. Bollywood. In the crisis period of COVID – 19 when everybody was in Home, to keep themselves engaged they were highly relied on Soft News as an entertainment purpose. Bollywood people are very easy targets. Many people come and blame them for many ill practices which may be true but not completely. The news of death of SSR which flipped here and there would have been different if he belonged to any other sector than Bollywood. Every field has good and bad things but bad in Bollywood are given more attention. The industry and its people are still loved madly by the whole of India and the world too. Many of our actors have now started becoming a part of Hollywood.

Abeer Kapoor: I would like to say, agreeing with fellow panelists, that Bollywood is indeed an easy target. We can see a deliberate witch hunt of Bollywood by some erroneous people. We are sitting here in our place making theories that don't seem very good ideas. In the early 90s we saw change in mainstream movies and music. We have moved from single screen to multiplexes where prizes have grown exponentially. So they have to target audiences. Algorithmic lynch mobs of some media houses are playing for High TRPs. There is a difference between people. Question is what messages does Bollywood is giving? Storytelling has gone down. Regional cinemas are doing better than them. While the commercial movies today are taking up huge revenues, capital is also available for risky ideas. A number of producers are willing to put money into projects that would have been deemed unviable a decade ago.

Sharmishtha Gooptu: There are many issues with Bollywood like drugs and sexual harassment. Well this thing is in all fields and not only in Bollywood only. Sexual harassment is as early as Bollywood itself. But earlier you couldn’t speak –up. These days we run a campaign such as “Me-too” to expose harassment cases. With the idea of sexual harassment so ingrained in our society, perhaps it’s time to revisit Bollywood and see exactly how much of the amusing or even ‘cute’ courting scenes actually fall between the murky lines of sexual harassment and actual courtship.

Truth to be told that a huge portion of India's magnificent History is missing from our academia. It's so Delhi driven. We don't think about the Ahom administration that governed Assam and part of Myanmar for 600 or more years. In the 2,000 years of Indian History, almost no has been expounded on South India too. Nuanced history is something that is deficient with regards to the present time. You are categorized and enclosed to some philosophical pail constantly. You are called upon to take positions and a name is put on you.

I think as a nation, we have no respect for history. We let landmarks disintegrate. We have no regard for documentation. We take characters of the past such a great amount into our heart—for what reason wouldn't we be able to permit Baji Rao to be a typical person who likewise engages in extramarital relations with a lady? For what reason do they need to be holier than thou who can't have any human indecencies?

More stressing that there is a cognizant endeavor to whitewash certain portions of History and more obscure parts of our set of experiences. On the off chance that you prevent the presence from getting certain issues, that turns into an issue. It is to be considered trusting that some other lawmaker will misuse that and the injuries burst open. This is actually what's going on in our nation.

DR. Vinay Nalwa: Indian temple architecture was marvelous that’s why Islamic Invaders made temples their primary target to destroy. For Hindus Temples are as sacred as GOD. Everything in temples happens according to Hindu scriptures and manuals. Temples are a medium to connect spirituality; it is the physical manifestation of the divine. Temples are the focus of everyday Hindu life be it social, educational or spiritual. Author Dharmpal wrote a book about temples mentioning how every temple had a school attached to it. In addition to this rich temples were supporting advanced studies. Festivals, spiritual debates & discussion, religious and social congregation were an important part of Temple’s affairs. Temple helps in the economy of a community or village. Temple is representation of highest values. Temples are an inevitable part of Hindu Society. To talk about Ram Mandir, there is many direct and indirect evidence to prove its existence. William Finch, in his book, mentions many monuments in India including Ram Mandir. Joseph Thaler wrote a book saying how Baber destroyed Ram Mandir to demean Hindus. King Vikramaditya came searching Ayodhya when it was deserted. He rejuvenated the forest and built the Ramgarh fort.

Arun Anand: Islamic and foreign invaders attacked cultural symbols i.e. temple to hurt Hindu sentiments and reign over this huge country. To break and demoralize the Hindu Community, those temples were broken down. We wrote in our book that this is a war of civilization and its ideology. One ideology says that "you must follow our step then you are good otherwise face the consequences. Religious conversion was a very big point to be noted here. Muslims did things bluntly whereas Christian missionaries did little sophistically. Our textbook never talks about the brutalities done by Islamic invaders. Why? This was biased on the academic side.
