Western effort (or Chinese effort, for that matter) to research and conserve their heritage always makes fascinating reading.
This is clearly an aspect of Western culture that is worthy of emulation in India. Indic civilization is clearly a much more target rich area for research, given it's timeless antiquity, scale and grandeur.
Yet, instead of an Indian version of the National Geographic society, a Smithsonian institution etc to vigorously research Indian history, why do we have to endure the sad spectacle of the Romila Thapar & Irfan Habib school of "eminent historians" trashing Hindu heritage at every opportunity, be it concerning RamSetu, Dwarka or the River Saraswati?
Under the Nehruvian Stalinist dispensation, these ideologically prejudiced traitors enjoy a veto over government policy on all matters concerning history, culture, archaeology, school text books etc.
Ideological prejudice for professional historians is bad enough, but there is
a lack of serious research in India.
It is logical, then that the products of this Stalinist system are more gullible to
Mullah/Missionary/Marxist propaganda, raised as they are on a staple diet of "Chacha" Nehru, Ghandi and dhimmitude.
To a neutral observer, the despicable Nehru cult should be indistinguishable
from the Kim Il Sung "Great leader" cult or the "progressive" Saddam Hussein cult.
It is incumbent upon the Hindu nationalists to remedy this abomination when they get re-elected.

i have serious doubts whether the hindu nationalist parties (or party) will be able to achieve anything at all, let alone see thru manusripts. Gautam Sen in his article gives a very apt description of the Hindu parties: "Hindutva has also turned out to be a cynical ploy that delivered almost nothing to the Indian nation, leave alone Hindus. Tired old men surrounded by thoroughly corrupt retainers wield it to promote their own private interests." [see http://www.vigilonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=853&Itemid=83]
The BJPs only achievment, as far as i see it, was bringing the shroud of turin to power.
What is new about it? Charles Dickens has chronicled an extraordinary discovery by Professor Pickwick et al. (in Pickwick Papers). Without the help of gimmicks like "super-powerful x-rays", Pickwick et al. deciphered the writing:
[cross] B I L S T u m P S H I S. M. ARK
on an ancient rock.
I challenge the modern scientists with their super-expensive machines to find something half as significant or one-tenth as entertaining.
