		Today we are certain that the concept of coinage was invented in India independent of foreign influence which imparted the unique characteristics to these punch-marked coins, not seen in any other coins of the ancient world.

	MM July/August 1995
		Reminiscent of the "Green Revolution," the fertilizer- and pesticide-intensive commercial agriculture that has transformed the Indian countryside in the past 30 years, proponents have dubbed India's explosion of export-oriented shrimp farming as the "Blue Revolution." It is being hailed by the World Bank and Indian government officials as a triumph of India's neo-liberal economic policies.
		Though new to India, shrimp farming is well established elsewhere in Asia, providing a wealth of experience from which to gauge the industry's impact.
		For millions of fishers who live along India's coasts, the temporary ban on shrimp farm construction offers hope that their traditional livelihoods will be spared amid India's rush to transform its economy into one dominated by exports and transnational corporations.

	Religion in India
		When Aryans came to India they brought with them an already degenerated form of religion, in which people had to participate in “saving” rituals, “feed” “gods” with sacrifices (rice, water, and other kinds of food, that they were supposed to send to the “gods” via the medium of ordinary physical fire).
		And there, in Heaven, the “gods” quarreled with one another, had children… (all this is written in the ancient Vedas; the same kind of incompetence one can see in the Arjuna’s words in the beginning of his conversation with Krishna on the field of Kuru [9]; see also [63,74]).
		But with time people of India were repeatedly slipping into primitivism: they would start to set hopes not on the Creator, but on fictitious fairy-tale “gods”, or even abandon religion altogether in preference to the accumulation of earthly wealth or enslaving other people.

		Text: Essence of Bhagwad Gita can be summarized in one shloka (Chapter 2.48) where Krishna says to Arjuna "yogastha kuru karmani" which means concentrate on actions (do all actions remaining in yoga).
		One should be attached to actions and de-attached to its results. He compared this to the lotus leaves where a drop of water gives a feeling of a pearl but once it is out the leaf is completely dry as if nothing was there.
		The so called de-attached attachment is the philosophy and the mantra to do it is "yogastha kuru karmani".
