A Comment on the Need for Including Ancient Indian Traditions in our Education System

My Comment on an article "Include Ancient Indian Traditions in the education system: says Dalai Lama" published in the Times of India dated 23/04/2018.

"A very important and needy suggestion made by Dalai Lama, the great Tibetan Spiritual leader. This should be implemented immediately without failure.

Our children and the younger generation are going out the touch of our culture and heritage due to the convent education system being imparted to them since their childhood itself. That way, we may lose the entire heritage and culture someday in the nearby future.

So, it has become a necessity now to provide them the awareness of their ancient traditions, culture, and heritage by imparting some basic guidance to them about our religious rituals and the spiritual knowledge through the teachings from Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharat, Ramayana, etc.'

Curtail Your Cash Transactions | Switch-Over to Digital Mode

It is mentioned in a recent news article titled "ATMs across the country go dry" published on economictimes.com Dated 18/04/2018 that there is a high demand for currency ranging between 40k to 45k crores per month nowadays in the country as against a supply of 20k crores.

The data indicates that the total currency available in public circulation during the month of March 2018 is estimated at 17.50 lac crores of rupees which is too much.

ATM withdrawals made during January 2018 Rs. 41,102 crores and during February 2018 Rs. 37,126 crores. The latest figures were not mentioned in the above article.

So, this shows that people have not switched over to the digital mode yet. Why it is so?

Involving in cash transactions creates black money and leads to inflation also. It is only a blow to our economy.

If we want a sound, healthy economy we must switch over to digital transactions. Make all your purchases through your ATM cards without drawing the cash.

Your cash transactions should be limited to minimum daily requirements like milk, vegetables, laundry payments, saloon payments, etc.

Don't force the RBI to indulge in printing notes which is an additional burden to the economy as crores of rupees are wasting in printing the currency notes.

Decorum of Language and Media

Today's Deccan Chronicle dated 16 April 2018 sported a peculiar headliner (see the last page numbered 14)- "Saina is pure Gold".

What a childish, senseless heading!!!

What does it mean?
Pure Gold and Fake or Impure Gold?

The author of that post must have been too much excited and lost his sense of humor or even the wit.

He could have simply stated Saina is Gold or Saina wins Gold.

Overstating anything can hurt the sentiments of other participants and people.

An elite newspaper's editors (like Deccan Chronicle) are expected to be more prudent.

I love this newspaper very much for its editorials and featured columns. But, I get disappointed at such minor basic mistakes committed due to over-excitement.
