>>>>>>>Why would someone, Indian or not, want to learn Sanskrit online?

>>>>>>>>There's nearly an infinite amount of knowledge in the world. And each of us has a finite amount of time. Why not is not an answer.

You can apply that flawed reasoning to pretty much everything. It would've been a perfectly valid question if you had said "Why would I want to learn Sanskrit?". Please don't universalize your opinion by saying things like why would anyone want to learn Sanskrit online or offline.

>>>>98% of Indian Population have not even heard the word "Github" in their entire life, yet everyone acts like they know this stuff

What kind of logic is it? Are 98% of Indian population software engineers? Why do they need to know about GitHub?

>>>Definitely a Hindutva site.

And, your point is?

That site also has collections about works of legit ancient Indian mathematicians, Vedas etc. So, you are going to disregard them because they're Hindus?

If somebody mentions about these things, then they're said to be peddling this so called Hindu propaganda. Now, THAT'S a real propaganda.

Looking at these data:

USA should make do with one gas-guzzling truck less per person, instead of bullshitting their pseudo-intellectual "green" preaching on India and China.

...developing country's perspective it looks like developed nations used cheap energy to get ahead. Now they want to curb usage of cheap energy in developing nations because:

1. Suddenly, they're affected by climate change, or claim to be.

2. It's just a ploy to increase energy costs for developing nations and keep them behind.

You're spot on, there.

YouTube comments were already a cesspool. Now, with added "shared via Google+", it has become unbearable. I added this rule in AdBlockPlus to block YouTube comments:

Opposition is against building GLONASS monitoring stations on US soil; not against GLONASS or any indigenous navigation system itself.

Tried out the demo; it's nice. Keyboard shortcuts and threaded display would be nice to have. Will check out the source for my learning.
