Ashok was a great scholar and dear friend. Infinity Foundation appointed him Visiting Professor of Sanskrit at Harvard in the 1990s. He made a huge impact teaching Bhartrhari and other grammarians. His wife is also an excellent Sanskrit scholar and directed Sanskrit plays during their tenure at Harvard.
Before Ashok, Infinity Foundation had appointed Arvind Sharma as Visiting Professor at Harvard in the same department. We lost Arvind just a few weeks back.
Two great tragedies for me personally in this year. Two great losses for Indian civilization.
Deeply saddened to note that Ashok Aklujkar, famed professor of Sanskrit and Indology at University of British Columbia, passed away recently.
His many books include Sanskrit- An Easy Introduction To An Enchanting Language
A lecture by him--

Many of these workers will find ways to stay in Japan. This will accelerate the Islamic invasion of Japan that has already begun. History will record this as a stupid move: failure to learn from Europe’s Islamization.

Как только арестовали этого подонка и радикального исламиста, протесты в Италии «сошли на нет»! Арест Юсефа Сихера оказал немедленный парализующий эффект на координацию беспорядков в Италии.
Поскольку спецслужбы задержали его буквально за несколько часов до очередной волны запланированных погромов в Милане,
тактика «упреждающего удара» сработала.
Как сообщает итальянская пресса (в частности, Il Sole 24 Ore), сразу после ареста Сихера публичные платформы его «Движения 17 октября» (Movimento 17 ottobre) фактически замерли. В Telegram-каналах и Instagram-аккаунтах, которые он администрировал, массово начали появляться плашки «Тема закрыта». Дискуссии прекратились, а намеченные новые митинги на площадях Милана так и не смогли развернуться в полную силу!!!
Арест Сихера испугал других координаторов и модераторов сети. Их имена начали всплывать на различных ресурсах, что заставило их спешно «залечь на дно», удалять аккаунты или переносить общение в скрытые Signal-чаты.
Answer is: History Centrism. Please read that entire chapter in my book BEING DIFFERENT.

The Ancient Wisdom of Pitṛ Ṛṇa
What is our debt to our ancestors, and how do we honor it? Explore the significance of Pitṛ ṛṇa through śrāddha ceremonies and the Śāstric understanding of how anna (food) nourishes the Sthūla Śarīra (physical body), Sūkṣma Śarīra (subtle body), and Kāraṇa Śarīra (causal body).

Vinnie says Abdul El-Sayed campaigning inside mosques breaks federal law, and the IRS should be paying attention.
Vinnie: “Under federal law, under the Johnson Amendment, religious organizations that are tax-exempt, can’t endorse political candidates, and you can’t use their resources to campaign for them. So I hope the IRS is paying attention. And mind you, that applies to everybody. Christian, Muslim, everybody. You can’t do this.”

Wow, this is what Yemen looked like in the 1960s under British rule. That was over half a century ago, but it looked decades more advanced than Yemen does today.
It’s almost unbelievable compared to what the country has become. And it’s a testament to how quickly a country can collapse once Islam reigns supreme.

Another essay on the AI as a game changing technology amid the new global competition between the US and China.
As we defined a geopolitical axiom in 2023 with @RajivMessage:
Who wins the AI race, wins the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Who wins the 4IR, wins the second Cold War.
Outstanding, thought-provoking, beautifully written piece by @nfergus, @lisaklaassen @ericschmidt on AI as an imperial technology. "AI also has an inherent center-periphery structure. Control of frontier AI and its rewards are concentrated in a handful of firms in China and the United States. Everyone else is a
dependent user, whether a government running public services on a model it cannot inspect
or a firm building products on an interface that can be repriced or withdrawn overnight."

This is the kind of hard data needed in all situations. Facts!
🚨Breaking: Diwali “suppressed” Southlake voters so badly they’re voting at nearly 30% turnout which is #2 in all of DFW, ahead of Collin, Denton, Dallas, and Tarrant counties combined.
Meanwhile cities with zero Indian festivals are at 15–17%.
Propaganda called. Data answered.

Why Pakistan and not China should take note?
🚨India’s Nuclear Deterrent Goes Underwater: 12 Warheads at Sea and Pakistan Goes in Panic
According to SIPRI’s assessment, India has deployed around 12 nuclear warheads on ballistic-missile submarines, adding a survivable sea-based component to its nuclear arsenal. The significance is not simply the number. It is where those weapons are, underwater, mobile and difficult to detect.
For Pakistan, this changes the strategic calculation.
A nuclear-armed submarine is designed primarily to guarantee a second strike. Even if an adversary attempted to destroy nuclear forces on land, a submarine hidden at sea could potentially survive and preserve the ability to retaliate.
Pakistan has openly expressed concern over India’s expanding strategic capabilities, warning about what it describes as a growing strategic imbalance in South Asia.
India is simultaneously developing more sophisticated missile technologies, strengthening its nuclear triad and improving the survivability of its strategic forces. The result is a deterrent that is becoming increasingly difficult to neutralise.
The strategic message from India is therefore less about threatening a first strike and more about making one thing absolutely clear:
A first strike against India cannot guarantee the destruction of India’s nuclear response.
For Pakistan, that creates a new dilemma.
Land-based missiles can be monitored. Aircraft can potentially be targeted. Fixed installations can be mapped.
But a submarine operating silently somewhere beneath the Indian Ocean is a different problem altogether.
And that is why India’s nuclear deterrent going underwater matters far beyond the reported figure of 12 warheads.
Good points. Thanks for clarifying. @AmyMek
***Diwalifest and Voting in the Town Hall***
There was a lot of online discussion yesterday about Diwalifest in the Town Square, specifically regarding some of the parking and roads that were shut down for the festival.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that Diwalifest organizers canceled the fireworks show and opened up parking in response to complaints, some folks still accused the organizers and the city of “voter suppression” due to the fact that it was (slightly) harder to access the polling location from the south.
But was there in fact voter suppression? I pulled the actual numbers from Tarrant County‘s website.
Here are early vote totals through six days of voting for the last decade of major elections in our Town hall. I also included the percentage of Saturday vote totals as compared to the votes cast through six days of early voting.
[Election, Saturday, Sat votes, Cumulative thru Saturday, Sat share]
2026 midterm (in progress), Oct 24, 1444 daily votes, 10196 total, 14.2%
2022 midterm, Oct 29, 1021 daily votes, 6583 total, 15.5%
2018 midterm, Oct 27, 1295 daily votes, 8872 total, 14.6%
2025 special, Oct 25, 490 daily votes, 2829 total, 17.3%
2024 presidential, Oct 26, 1586 daily votes, 11789 total, 13.5%
2020 presidential, Oct 17, 1253 daily votes, 6451 total , 19.4%
2016 presidential, Oct 29, 1418 daily votes, 9057 total, 15.7%
Note: 2020's Saturday was day 5, not day 6, since that year's early voting started on a Tuesday.
As you can see, yesterday‘s share of total early voting is on track with prior years in Town hall and in fact is a higher percentage of votes cast to date than we had in 2024.
I’m not going to speculate on why some folks jumped on this issue and tried to blow it up into a national story. But facts are facts. The polling location never shut its doors, not once, and over 1400 voters still turned out to vote. 
(By the way, I do wonder why certain parties were so intent on turning this into a controversy instead of, oh I don’t know, showing up to the festival and trying to persuade the South Asians in attendance to go inside and vote for their candidates. Just saying.)
The Singham-Prashad duo with money from multiple sources.
The wife of Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon who lives in Shanghai, who is amplifying the French and Indian protests, Jodie Evans, is the co-founder of CODEPINK. In an interview with BreakThrough News published Oct 14, Jodie Evans said: “I want people to look at France, Spain, and India and just say, “Where are we? Why are we not in the streets?”
Impressive rigor and persistence by my friend @AsraNomani in exposing the Red-Green Alliance.
RED PROPAGANDA: It's global. Don't fall for it.
Read the handle for this account: @ProudSocialist. This account is part of the pro-communist propaganda machine that is making the world blow up right now with fake grassroots protests.
What you can see in these videos and images from Albania to India and France in between is the AGITATION PROPAGANDA of socialists, communists and far-leftists.
Inoculate your brain. Don't fall for the BRAIN WASHING. What you're seeing is a concentrated communist campaign supported by the propaganda arms of a transnational network funded by American-born communist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham.
They deny their are TROJAN HORSES for malign foreign influence.
What do you think?
Brilliant! Kudos to India’s ingenuity.
🚨MASSIVE: India to Bring a New Satellite Internet Security Layer Through Hardware Monitoring to Track Starlink
India is preparing to add a new layer of security to satellite internet services, with a proposed hardware-based monitoring system that could give authorities greater visibility and control over satellite internet traffic operating within the country.
The move is particularly significant for Starlink, whose satellite network relies heavily on low-Earth-orbit satellites and inter-satellite links to move data across its constellation.
The proposed hardware monitor is intended to become a physical security checkpoint between satellite-internet users and foreign satellite operators. It could potentially be deployed at subscriber equipment or at satellite ground stations, creating an enforceable point through which India's security requirements can be implemented.
The system could help enforce domestic traffic routing, lawful interception, geographic restrictions, geofencing and emergency security directions. In sensitive or prohibited areas, authorities could potentially restrict satellite connectivity.
The underlying concern is simple: India does not want critical communications infrastructure operating over its territory while remaining beyond effective Indian control.
India is therefore moving toward a model in which foreign satellite operators can enter the Indian market, but only after accepting Indian security and sovereignty requirements.
The framework is expected to apply broadly to satellite communications providers, including Starlink and other global operators. However, given Starlink's scale and technological architecture, it naturally becomes the most prominent company affected by the proposed system.
