नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय को ध्वस्त करने वाला कौन था? क्या वह अलाउद्दीन खिलजी के गुस्से का शिकार हुआ? क्या बौद्ध धर्म से नफ़रत करने वाले ब्राम्हणों ने उसे नुक़सान पहुँचाया? क्या है असलियत? नालंदा विश्वविद्यालय के बारे में प्रो. राम पुनियानी से प्रो. मुकेश कुमार की बातचीत-

Who was the one to demolish Nalanda University? Did he become a victim of Alauddin Khilji's anger? Did the Brahmins who hated Buddhism harm it? What is the reality? About Nalanda University Prof. Ram Puniyani to Prof. Mukesh Kumar's conversation

History Writing to the Rescue against Sectarian Nationalism – A Tribute to Prof D.N. Jha by Dr Ram Puniyani

Destruction of Nalanda: In response to the article "History Writing to the Rescue against Sectarian Nationalism" by C. K. Raju https://frontierweekly.com/views/feb-21/20-2-21-Comment%20on%20History%20Writing-21-2-21.html  Mr Puniyani is completely wrong in attributing the destruction of Nalanda to Hindus. As pointed out long ago, in my article on “Time in Medieval India”[4] Nalanda was destroyed not by Bakhtiyar-i-Khalji but by his son Muhammad-i-Bakhtiyar-Khalji, .. The confusion between Muhammad-i-Bakhtiyar and Bakhtiyar-i-Khalji is probably because of the tradition of Muslim conquerors to start a new town when they destroyed an old one. There is a Bakhtiyarpur near Nalanda.

Leopards and deer to help find truth about SGNP twin tunnels https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-leopards-and-deer-to-help-find-truth-about-sgnp-twin-tunnels-23354050  With the National Board of Wildlife (NBWL) approving the Thane-Borivli underground twin tunnel project by the MMRDA, which will pass below the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) will study the project’s impact on ground-dwelling animals. To do this, WII plans to collar a total of 30 wild animals, including leopards, spotted deer, and sambar deer. 

The habitat (above the ground) is going to remain the same but there are chances that the ground-dwelling animals might sense the vibrations and we want to study how they react to the same. A radio telemetry study will be undertaken wherein we will radio collar three major wild species including leopard, spotted deer and sambar deer to study their movements before and after.”

Burden Of Democracy Paperback – January 1, 2017 by Pratap Bhanu Mehta (Author)

 Pratap Bhanu Mehtareminds us what a bold experiment bringing democracy to a largely illiterate and unpropertied India was. He argues that the sphere of politics has truly created opportunities for people to participate in society. Looking at various facts, he also finds that persistent social inequality on the one hand and a mistaken view of the state's proper function and organization on the other have modified and hindered the workings of democracy and its effects in innumerable ways. Posting the quest for self-respect as democracy's deepest aspiration, this essay explores how inequality and the crisis of accountability have together impeded collective action to achieve such an end. To recover this sense of moral well-being and responsibility, Mehta suggests, is the core of the democratic challenge before us.

Optimistic, lively and closely argued, The Burden of Democracy offers a new ideological imagination that throws light on our discontents. By returning to the basics of democracy it serves to illuminate our predicament, even while perceiving the broad contours for change.

 India's Thriving Scam Industry: Before You Call Tech Support  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CZReZ24-to  CNA InsiderJul 31, 2022 
We go deep into the vast world of India’s scam call centers, meeting those behind the deception and the new breed of international scambaiters who are trying to bring these scammers down.

After seven years of running tech support scams, ‘Leo’ has leveled up. He is now an entrepreneur or a scam call center consultant who sets up scamming outfits for those with money to invest. From hiring to hardware, he has it down to a science, especially on how long it will take to generate returns for the investors.

At the other end of the spectrum, we follow an Indian scambaiter ‘Sven’ as he investigates a local company that’s running a scam call center. The majority of their victims are English-speaking foreigners overseas. Through reverse tracking, he has managed to get into the company’s systems, securing access to their confidential files and real-time CCTV footage of scams taking place.

Will ‘Sven’ be able to find enough evidence to submit to the police and conduct a crackdown?
