Actually it started yesterday. After writing a post, one will be taken to Home page. But in fact for me it did not cause much inconvenience. Anyhow, the Administrator may please take necessary action.

Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic The Importance of Mother Tongue.
One must make the children understand that learning mother tongue is not similar to learning any other language. It has got some blood connection and the knowledge of mother tongue helps to make a strong bond among the family members. Just for example if we are good at English and Hindi but fail to communicate properly in our own mother tongue at home then being at home we would sound like an outsider because we cannot expect everyone to communicate with us in English and Hindi without hesitation. I feel it's necessary to be able to speak and understand one's mother tongue side by side if one can also read and write the mother tongue then it will be like an icing on the cake.

usha manohar replied to the topic Atheism and terrorism .
Who is terrorist? Organizations like al Kaida, ISIS are related to Islamic movement. There have been terrorists in Christian tradition as well. Some times, extreme Hindu organizations like Sanatan are also called terrorist. But now Saudi Arabia law lists atheism as terrorism. This is obviously to victimize all dissenters. Anyone who does not follow Islamic tradition or thought according to the whims and fancy of Saudi Arab rulers can be dubbed as atheist and victimized.

The problem is that other muslim countries look up to Saudi Arabia for guidance although they function independently of each other. A few of the Countries where he rigid Sharia law is practiced and adhered to such a step would only make things unpleasant for citizens especially outsiders who work there.There are people from all parts of Asia and a large number of Westerners too working the middle East and Saudi Arabia, who would start thinking twice if all their freedoms are curtailed one by one.

I am glad Dilip Kumar got the award, mainly as it will nail the lie that BJP is anti Muslim. Dilip is aMuslim and has recieved the Nishan e Pakistan, the highest civil award in Pakistan. He accepted it during the Kargil war. His role during the Pak India war of 1965 was also dubious. However having said that, I will add he was a great actor.
I agree that Dilip Kumar has not shown too much patriotism to India many a times although people have bestowed a lot of respect and affection for him..He has made many controversial statements in the past and also been associated with questionable criminals ..However, no no two opinions about the fact that he is one of the greatest actors of Indian cinema !

rambabu created new topic The Yoga legend, B.K.S Iyengar.
Bellur Krisnamachar Sunderraj Iyengar, the Yoga exponent, took the Yoga to the western countries. If today Yoga is practised in more than 70 countries, it's due to B.K.S Iyengar.
Here is a beautiful collection of Iyengar's quotes on Yoga along with mind boggling Yoga postures.

Movie actors are mere entertainers. They are above the politics. In the movies like Leader, Shakti, Ram aur Shyam are some that underline his prowess of Dilip as an extraordinary actor. We the people should stop linking with politics with everything.

You are right. Learning any number of language via your Mother tongue helps in sharpening your brain and its activities. I was responding to the member in a different context.

Learning many languages is undoubtedly helpful but here I would like to point out that knowledge of mother tongue helps to remain connected with his/her root. I feel it's very important for a person to stay connected so one must give equal importance to the learning of mother tongue.
