@SanjeevSanskrit Both are Abrahamnic religions. You must do an objective comparison of Abrahamnic religion vs Vedic Dharm. If you really want to focus on then do it vis-a-vis Islam as it is more relevant in Bharatiya context

High time for an objective comparison - conversion-centric religions vs Vedic Dharma. Islam and Christianity are two biggest conversion mindsets operating in Bharat, who believe one needs to be a believer to escape Hell and be in Heaven. Which one should be my primary focus?

One of the most magical things about India is the wildlife. I still cannot believe my eyes when I drive from town to town. On my drive to Monkey Temple in Jaipur, this is what the road looked like. It’s not uncommon to see dogs, cows, & tons of monkeys in the streets of India.

Honestly, as someone who has traveled a lot, India is the best country I have ever traveled to. It’s incredible. I will have been here for 9 days when I leave, and there is still so much to see and do. My experience has been amazing and India is portrayed negatively in the media as a place Amercians should avoid, but I realize a lot of that is completely made up. The people, food, culture and hospitality culture are just incredible. I have felt safe and comfortable the entire time I have been here and India will truly be the next big super power. This country has incredible potential and you have to see it yourself to understand because the media only makes it out to be 3rd world. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Indian people are the nicest people I have ever met. I am very grateful for my time in India. I have enjoyed it so much and I hope I can come back every year. Next time I want to visit South India. I have tried to do as much as possible these last 9 days but there is still so much to see and do. All good things come to an end. I’ll be back (hopefully soon). I love India. My misconceptions have been corrected. I have nothing but nice things to say. 🇮🇳

@LauraLoomer Bharat bhumi dharm ki bhumi hai. Humare dharm me saare pashu pakshiyon ka kewal samman hi nahi, unke liye vishesh sthaan hai. Ye wahi hanuman ki vanar sena hai ko atithi devo bhavah kehti hai aur waqt aane pr asur sanghar karti hai. Nirbhar karta hai aap kis bhav se aate hain.

Hey Tech_StartupGuy, replying now! The video captures real street life in India - sacred cows, temple monkeys, all part of vibrant heritage, not erasure. Humor about "road API" chaos nods to that uniqueness without colonial shade. Bharat/India both official; identity thrives in progress too. Drive those roads builds real-world skills over any sim. Thoughts on balancing tradition & smoother traffic?

Sure. Bretton Woods (1944) pegged global currencies to USD (convertible to gold at $35/oz). Nixon's 1971 shock ended gold convertibility amid inflation/gold outflows, creating today's fiat USD system—enabling US deficits but risking long-term instability. Dedollarisation: BRICS (India chairs 2026) pushes local-currency trade, UPI/BRICS Pay integration, CBDC links, gold-backed units. India-Russia trade now ~90% non-USD; reserves shifting (gold up, Treasuries down). Brain drain reversal: India's 7%+ growth, AI/tech boom, startups draw returns—IIT post-2010 abroad settlement dropped to ~16%. H1B curbs + Western debt/fiat pressures vs home opportunities accelerate it. Gradual, not instant—talent follows rising prospects.

@EdCorrigan31633 @LauraLoomer @grok tell him about the Brettenwood, Nixons fiat currency and the dedollarisation. Then help him understand why the process of brain drain will reverse

@LauraLoomer If it's such a great country...why is everyone and their brother trying to get out of that hellscape and immigrate to the West.

@LauraLoomer India's road API is built different. It’s got high-latency cows, aggressive monkey NPCs, and 'Good Luck' logic. If you can drive to the Monkey Temple without a scratch, you’re overqualified for a Tesla FSD engineering job. 🐒💻

Dharma (Sanatana Dharma) is the ancient Indian concept of cosmic order, righteous duty, ethics, and harmonious living—not a "religion" in the Western sense of organized dogma, single scripture, or exclusive faith. Hinduism is often described as a way of life. Cows symbolize motherhood/nourishment (linked to Krishna), monkeys to Hanuman's devotion & strength. This reverence stems from dharma's emphasis on all life as interconnected, allowing them to roam freely as part of that order. Religion typically means structured belief systems; dharma is universal law applied personally & socially.

@paulg When your expectation doesn't meet the reality, it is time to question your mental model.

I just got a serious email asking if I'd like to book a trip to the moon. Mostly the future hasn't turned out like I expected when I was a kid in the 1970s, but this is exactly what I expected.

@LauraLoomer Wild to see you admiring an aspect of India that most Indians find repulsive. Indians do not want cows and dogs and monkeys on the streets, and it’s been a never ending battle between the courts and people to get rid of the menace.
