The Bengal Files: This Movie Is Actually A Yagya

  Vivek Agnihotri Captivated audience in AMC Theatre, Detroit on 7th August Whenever the history of Bollywood will be written, of course not by the likes of Romila Thapar or Irfan Habib, but by someone like Dr. Vikram Sampath or Dr. Minaxi Jain, it will be in two parts. Bollywood in Pre-Vivek Agnihotri times and Bollywood in Post-Vivek Agnihotri times. By the way, Agnihotri is a Samskrit word, meaning someone who initiates the Yagna & who maintains it. Using his Viveka-buddhi, he has truly lived up to his family name.  Embedded with absolute raw shaurya and dhairya that he has demonstrated all these years in making such thought-provoking powerful movies, against thousands of odds and even at the threat to his life,  he chose to swim against the strong anti-Hindu currents of the Bollywood streams.   This also shows he is like a lotus flower, which is born in the water or mud but does not get ever affected by it.

Sanskrit: The Heartbeat of Bharat

Background The word संस्कृत (Sanskrit) means polished or refined. The words like संस्कृति (sanskriti), meaning culture or civilization, and संस्कार (sanskara), meaning purification ceremony all have their roots in this word Sanskrit.

Bharat has produced Valmiki (Ramayan), Vedam Vyas (Mahabharat), Mahakavi Kalidas (Raghuvansha), Panini (Grammer), Patanjali (Ashtangayoga), Aryabhatta (Mathematician/astronomer), Bhaskaracharya (Mathematician/astronomer), Varahamihira (Mathematician/Astronomer), Chanakya (Arthashastra), Vishnu Sharma (Panchatantra), Ch...
