The ratrace of Happiness https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2Fe9dZQelULDk%3Fs...

Yes, its sad to see. My father got made fun of back in the 1960s, which is why he gave up his greencard .... "Why are Indians starving? Why dont they eat the holy cows off the street?"

The answer is simple. The oldest Hindu scripture, the RgVeda states that God is the loving consciousness within all living creatures, immanent and transcendent. People call Him or Her by diffent names.
Thats why most Hindus prefer to be vegetarian, and particularly consider cows as sacred, because they give us milk, and we cherish maternal feelings for them ... I would rather not eat my Mommy....Karma reincarnation and all that jazz.

That said, most of us are very open minded.... my Dad taught me to do as the Romans do... I used to enjoy my BigMacs... until my cholesterol levels went up.

Also, one of the gravest humanitarian crises in modern history, leading to the deaths of an estimated three million people and further affecting millions through forced starvatjon of native Indians by barbaric butcheristic Britisher invaders

Insighttful comments, thank you.

Yes, most Hindus (80% of the Indian population) are orthodox and family oriented (like Catholics). Incidentally, see
https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHindu-C...: This autobiography traces Francis X. Clooney's intellectual and spiritual journey from middle-class American Catholicism to a lifelong study of Hinduism. It explains how he came to fashion comparative theology as a way of learning interreligiously that is boldly intellectual and deeply personal and practical, lived out in intersections of his roles as theologian and scholar of Hinduism, as professor and Catholic priest, and over the tumultuous decades from the 1960s until now, in his role as Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University.

I see many Indian-American weddings happening, from a quick youtube lookup.

BTW, I love Somerville, Boston, NorthEnd, and surroundings.... guessing ftom your nick that you are from there. Spent 19y there before moving to warmer California for the weather and family.

As for cheese, I still love all the stuff that comes out of Wisconsin.

My Daddy came to the US from India in 1963 onboard the QueenMary, for his Masters, worked at NASA and stuff before giving up his GreenCard due to racism. He thinks he found the BigFoot in the mountains of Oregon, and made many Super8mm movies of Disneyland n such that we are trying fo digitize to utubez

Long Story short, my sister and I came here to UGA+GATech and have found Americans wonderfully creative and accepting (only a couple of racist events in my 25 years here ... [came to somve tge Y2KProblem], one from a rude farmer at Bostons HayMarket after 9/11 with my newly married (now-ex) wife.

Even after that unfortunate incident, a Texan colleague offered to beat up saud farmer with his motorcycle buddies.I of course declined, but digested the event eith a couple of beers. A felloe immigrant haymarketer told .me to ignore the uneducated racist basturd.

The Hands that built America by U2 is nice (from the
Gangs of New York).

Peace, Live Long and Prosper as Mr Spock might say (Leonard Nimoy grew up in MA too).

Exactly. Dharma, Meditation, Yoga, mental and physical wellbeing should be the driving factors, not an endless ratrace if economic growth.

pardon the typos

By Colonialist invasions, I mean stuff like this brutal Goa inquisition where tge so called Christian saint but actually a brutal monsyer cut off Native Hindus hands off for not converting to Christianity. WTF.
https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwik...

Just like the barbaric invadic Muslim Empetor who built the Taj fucking Mahal for his dead empress using Hindu laborers and then cyt their hands off and blinded them so they would nit build another monument like it again.

Double WTF. I would be wary of invading barbaricc foreigners given this invasionist colonialist crap.

Insightful comment. Speaking as a proud American of Indian (Asian) origin, of 25 years [ GeorgiaTech + ex MIT startups ]

I agree and would like to add that India is currently overcoming its hangover of British invasionist colonialism and failed Islamic conquests (similar to the Spanish inquisition).

But by and large, India is pretty tourist + investor/startup friendly, especially Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India. Goa, etc ... e.g.

Also, I am more alarmed at the open air drug use & violent crime rates in the US : as compared to India with 1/9th the population density (3x landmass containing 0.3 of the population). :/

On 28 June 2022, Kanhaiya Lal Teli, an Indian tailor, was beheaded by two Muslim men in Udaipur, Rajasthan. The attackers filmed the act and circulated the video online.[2][3][4]

Hindu kids are not even safe in schools, 10th grade Hindu killed by a 8th grade radical. imagine if this can happen in a school in Ahmedabad, what can happen in Islamic state like Bengal or Kerala https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fmrsinha_%2Fstatus%2F...

India is a land of 80Ã Hindu Dharma => Buddhist + Jain + Sikh Dharmic Yogi spiritual seekers (rather than believers)., academicians, professionals.

Used to be 100Ã until brutal barbaric Islamic Muslims and invasionist Britishers, warmongers invaded us. India currently hosts & protects the Dalai Lama against Chinese aggression in Dharmashala (lit. school of Dharma).

Radical Islam is the snake hiding in the grass. Moderate Islam is the grass hiding the snake. NYC Mayorial candidate Mamdani is an evil traitor to India+USA's democratic+pluralistic societies.

Look up Ancient Vedic philoshopies which align with and/or were misappropriated/ without proper attribution to the oldest living democratic pluralistic culture 5000 years old, that asks us to respect Mother Nature, and all Her beautiful creations [ www.pluralism.org (Harvard Project)] . This whole uni/multiverse/Matrix/Maya is the primordial creation of the Divine Mother/Power (Sanskrit: Adi Shakti) of the Uni/Multiverse Maa Durga/Sri Maha Kali.

NYC Mayorial candidate Mamdani is a viper in human clothing, he celebrated the terrorist attacks by Islamic terror rogue nation Pakistan/Pukistan against freedom loving dharmic/democratic/Hindu India and also the 911 attacks against the USA.

Moreover the Barbaric Islamic invader to India ShahJahan who hired Hindu laborers to construct the Taj Mahal later brutally cut their hands off so they wouldnt construct another monument like it again https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perplexity.ai%2Fsear... deep research muslims and Islam using a tapestry of all data sources possible including but not limited to Islamic invasions of India, Kashmiri Pandit exodus/genocide worse than the Holocaust, Islamic terror attacks 911, Nyc Atracks, 711 Mumbai Attacks.

I am surprised it has taken this long for Western entities to understand amd wake up to this anti-human problem.

Dismayed rather.

yes

Here are some key efforts and strategies undertaken by India and global entities to protect, reclaim, and properly attribute India's wealth, knowledge, and cultural heritage:

### Efforts to Reclaim Stolen Cultural Artifacts and Wealth

- **Government Initiatives for Artifact Repatriation:** India has repeatedly demanded the return of looted artifacts from British and other foreign museums. Dedicated agencies and diplomatic efforts work to identify Indian treasures held abroad and seek their lawful return. For example, artifacts like Tipu Sultan's sword and the Kohinoor diamond remain focal points of repatriation campaigns[1][2][3].

- **Legal and Policy Frameworks:** India is strengthening laws related to the protection of cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. The Antiquities and Art Treasures Act and various export controls aim to regulate and prevent further illicit trafficking of cultural property[4][3].

- **Global Cooperation:** India actively engages with international bodies such as UNESCO and INTERPOL to track stolen antiquities and halt the illicit trade in cultural artifacts. These multilateral efforts enhance Indiaâ(TM)s capacity to fight cultural theft globally[1][3].

### Protecting Traditional Knowledge and Indigenous Practices

- **Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL):** India has created the TKDL, a vast repository documenting traditional Indian knowledgeâ"including Ayurveda, Yoga, and other indigenous sciencesâ"in multiple languages. This acts as prior art to prevent wrongful patents and biopiracy by foreign entities[5].

- **Patent Law Reforms:** Revisions to patent laws and increased scrutiny of patent applications aim to stop companies abroad from patenting traditional Indian knowledge without fair attribution and benefit-sharing agreements.

- **Geographical Indications (GI):** India uses the GI tagging system for products linked to regional heritage, like Darjeeling tea and Basmati rice, preventing unauthorized use and commercialization abroad[5].

### Addressing Yoga Misappropriation

- **Cultural Sensitization and Awareness Campaigns:** The Indian government and organizations promote accurate cultural education about yogaâ(TM)s origins and philosophy internationally. The annual International Day of Yoga, celebrated globally since 2015, was initiated by India to highlight yogaâ(TM)s cultural and spiritual roots[6][7].

- **Collaborations with the Global Yoga Community:** Efforts are made to engage with practitioners and organizations worldwide to encourage respectful and accurate representation of yoga practices and to discourage cultural appropriation[8].

- **Intellectual Property Protections:** India is exploring how intellectual property rights, trademarks, and copyrights might protect yoga and related traditional knowledge from misuse, although this remains legally complex[9].

### Broader Cultural Heritage Protection

- **Ethical Museums and Repatriation Movements:** Increasingly, some global museums are examining their collectionsâ(TM) provenance and cooperating to return cultural artifacts to India where claims are credible. Activists and scholars raise public awareness about the colonial origins of many collections to support repatriation[2].

- **Combating Modern Exploitations:** India is addressing ongoing human resource exploitation in Gulf countries through diplomatic channels and worker welfare programs, seeking to improve migrant workersâ(TM) conditions and rights protections[10].

***

These multifaceted efforts represent Indiaâ(TM)s growing resolve to protect its cultural, intellectual, and material heritage from historic and ongoing exploitationâ"seeking justice, recognition, and fair use in the global arena[1][5][6][2][10][9][3].

If you want, I can provide specific examples of recent successful repatriation cases or international collaborations related to these issues.
