Found this[^] animated movie based on Ramayana, one of the important part of Hindu literature. Pretty good.

I think that's pretty impressive graphics wise - shame I don't understand Hindi (I take it that it is Hindi?)

Yes that is Hindi. You could always use English captions.

Just realized the map of India is incorrect in the picture.

Yes. Different people use different versions. The conflicted areas are sometimes included sometimes not. But conflict or not, as of now that is part of India and nothing else. Thus it must be shown as part of India. In your map, Pakistan occupied Kashmir is not shown as part of India.

The Indian govt are a bunch of delusional sunshines and insist that any map allowed within their borders show all disputed territory held by other countries as being part of India, not Pakistan, China, or an independent nation.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Wikipedia article my link came from said that the Indian Gov't does this too, the Map I linked seems to follow the UN one.
Good to know the newer nuclear powers are above petty behaviour over their disputed borders!

I can't access youtube from my office desktop (officially, at least) - so I haven't seen the video.
If the election is anything like the Indian Telephone Support Centers, it's got to be truly hilarious. Inscrutable. And have nothing to do with solving the problem.

Apparently if you call an NBA star a nigger that is racism and an example of a 'plantation mentality'. It warrants 24/7 news coverage and swift action by local, state, federal, and private governing bodies. However, if you treat blacks like niggers by locking helpless black kids in drug infested communities with horrible schools and sub-standard housing that is acceptable. Hell, you can even blame the kids in the latter case.
Unlike Oprah, who is a nitwit, I don't consider insults hurled at famous black mutli-millionaires to be an example of 'plantation mentality'. When I think of 'plantation mentality' I start to think about black children in segregated hellhole ghettos - children who live in constant fear and who are abused by all strata of society and left without any recourse.
This whole drama is multimillionaires fighting one another.
It's time we recognize - blacks and whites recognize - that none of the people who have a stake in this battle are on any of our sides. These guys would run over a white child as quickly as a black child and they are utterly disinterested in the plight of people who are really suffering. A couple of million in fines for a guy that owns the team (valued at 300 million) means he took less than a 1% hit - less than a 1% hit for being worse than Hitler. The outrage doesn't even match the punishment - everyone's hair on fire for a 1% hit.
I'd gladly pay 1% of my salary to walk around my job and say whatever I want to say.
So it is hypocrisy from one end to the other.
I might move to Canada - do they take people who are tired of the USA?

I find US citizens to be over sensitive with regards to vocabulary. They need to understand that context is equally important if not more. Many of US citizens are, apparently, also hell bent on treating absolutely everything to racism. They have forgotten that specifying characteristic of a person is not racism. Discrimination based on said characteristic is.

If I call my wife a bitch it doesn't mean I hate women.
It means I'm angry.
In our sound bite society people don't care about context anymore.
Basically, we're all primed to fight and since all of our basic needs are met we have to fight over meaningless stuff.
It is pathetic.

Quote: I find US citizens to be over sensitive with regards to vocabulary. I disagree. It is our media that has made it this way. Most people wouldn't have cared.

Well, as an outsider, I was scared of saying anything. All I had on mind was, "Don't say anything remotely related to color and don't get shot."

Fair enough.

You said "color" and "shot" in the same sentence - that was clearly meant as a racist slur, you racist you!
Oops, I just realised I did too! Me racist me!
Sometimes this is all just too ridiculous. People, especially USians are way over sensitive about things that are said. What is said is way less important than what is done, usually.

Oddly enough, I moved from Canada to the United States, and, while I don't agree with everything here, I much prefer the political climate here to Canada's.

I wish you'd elaborate on that.
That could be really interesting.

In the '80s, I was at a friend's house. His Dad was a police officer. I asked him, "The charter of rights and freedoms says that sexual discrimination is illegal. However, men are allowed to go topless in public, but women aren't - that is indecent exposure. Are they on a collision course?" I was told, "Yes, they are on a collision course."
Well, the supreme court declare the indecent exposure law unconsitutional: result, women can go topless in Canada in public.
I do not want my children exposed to topless women, so I can't go to a public beach.
And, do any of want to see our daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers walking around topless for all to see?
