“Colonisation, as understood by scholars, refers to a process or phenomenon by which people belonging to a nation establish colonies in other societies while retaining their bonds with the parent nation, and exploit the colonised societies to benefit the parent nation and themselves. Simply put, the process of establishing colonies is called colonisation and the policy of using colonisation to increase one’s footprint is called colonialism.”

“Maharishi Gargi and Maitreyi were rishikas, and today there are fools who claim that women are not allowed to learn scriptures or to write new ones. Maharishi Satyakam was the son of a shudra single mother named Jabali; and today there are bigots who claim that shudra born cannot become rishis”
