The Bongs primarily and then a few decades of tarded socialist politicians inhibiting development. As much as people make fun of the "superpower by 2020 2030" stuff, if India can get its act together domestically, it will be one of the major world powers of the mid-century.
Bongbliteration was a heck of a thing, post-imperial Bong is some weak shit, all that pride doesn't mean shit when you don't back it up with 400 pounds of cannon.
That's what happens when you lose a good portion of your healthy young males to war in a 30 year period. Look at the Frogs and Krauts, same shit. Somehow the Russians avoided this despite suffering even worse. I credit the alcoholism.
Thank you, I agree that a lot of meaning is lost in translation unless the languages are closely related. Your literalist translation seems to have an entirely different meaning than the Oppenheimer mistranslation. It seems to be a statement about the inevitable march of time bringing an end to all things rather than a proclamation of a newfound ability for untold destruction.
You are partially correct. It can be interpreted that way but krishna is specifically talking about the warriors on the battlefield being destroyed.
BG 11.32: The Supreme Lord said: I am mighty Time, the source of destruction that comes forth to annihilate the worlds. Even without your participation, the warriors arrayed in the opposing army shall cease to exist.
BG 11.33: Therefore, arise and attain honor! Conquer your foes and enjoy prosperous rulership. These warriors stand already slain by me, and you will only be an instrument of my work, O expert archer.
This translation is pretty good, except for "expert archer"
The word used is savya-sΔchin which means ambidextrous (shoot arrows with both arms.
Thank you for the context. I really enjoy learning about ancient texts, but the only ones that I can actually read in their original language are in Latin.
Is there historical evidence of what peoples the Pendavas and Kauravas were and where they ended up? I know I could look it up, but I'd rather ask the opinion of an Indian than read a words words words dissertation by an 19th century Brit.
It's a contentious topic. There definitely was a Bharata clan in North India and there probably was a civil war. How much of the war was interpolated into legend and how much is accurate history depends on who you ask. It doesn't really matter imo. The gita is classified as a yoga shastra(philosophical treatise on yoga). Krishna himself is refered to as yogeshvara-Lord of yoga.
BG 11.9: Sanjay said: O King, having spoken thus, the Supreme Lord of Yoga, Shree Krishna, displayed his divine and opulent form to Arjun.
As such most people are interested in the philosophical aspect of the text rather than the historical veracity.
Its quiet odd how close to original the non Hindi IE languages are. Especially Bengali or one of the fringe languages, ours should have been influenced by the SEA languages if we have partially SEA genetics. For 1500+ years almost all our languages developed in relative isolation. Even Assamese is peculiarly IE, for how non IE their population is. Why are bimarus so content with speaking farsi?
The only word I couldn't reasonably deduce the meaning of there is samahartum. I'm pretty sure even modern Italians can't read Latin like that.
Wait lmao I think I entered your groomercord at some point. I can't be sure but I went to some nrijeet hindutva groomercord to flame people there. Sometime in 2020, I think someone posted a link on inch.
