History

elixir [45]3 years ago
7 0
Writing came to India rather late, compared to the fascinating developments of philosophy and higher thought. And ever after the introduction of writing, without the advent of printing,record keeping was not easy. Most of the ancient knowledge came downthrough oral traditions and rote memory. Indians produced people and methods with fantastic memories called Sutradhars, I believe. And they had tremendous twchniques (sutras) to aid the memories, like the Brahmasutras.

As a good American citizen, it is important to respect the diversity of this country. Unfortunately discrimination has been got
creativ13 [48]

It is difficult to suggest a course of action as no one knows what the perfect answer to this is. However, one strategy that seems to reduce the incidence of discriminatory practices is that of facilitating the interaction of people of many different races and backgrounds. Most of the time, discrimination comes from a fear of the unknown. People have prejudices and biases towards people who are different from them and this affects how they think about them. However, when people spend time in diverse communities, they tend to become more tolerant and accepting of those who are different to them.
