    OPINION/ANALYSIS: Rarely has a cowboy castrated himself in public like Ben Nelson, the senator from Nebraska, who becomes an object lesson in how a United States senator easily trades his "convictions" and "principles" for perfectly legal bribes from cynical party leaders. When the inevitable howling erupted in Nebraska, all the senator could come up with was a variation on the oldest excuse in ...

    The youngest were babies and toddlers, while the elders included the oldest Tobique First Nation resident. Some were community leaders; others were still in elementary school. Many had fond memories of the honoured guest; some had never met the man. But the hundreds of Tobique First Nation residents who crowded into the community bingo hall all had one thing in common.

Bhagwan save us all!!! Why do we get fooled soo easily. "Aryans" did not come from Europe. "Aryans and Dravidians" - these were created by the British to bring about a divide among Indians. Anciant Indian culture originated on the banks of the great river Saraswati which dried up around 10,000 years ago (refer any peer reviewd Geology Journals). All Indian languages are derived from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the most perfect language and the language even our most advanced computers understand easily (refer any peer reviewd Information Technology Journals). Sanskrit is grammatically perfect too. Can any other language claim these attributes. PLEASE do not get confused, PLEASE do not be linguistic fanatics. Sanskrit is the oldest, most perfect and be proud that it is the mother of all other languages.

Marathi is South Asia'a oldest language. From Marathi , Sanskrit language was made as cipered Marathi language, to protect Hinduism and promote Hinduism.In Marathi only Mahabharatha, Ramayana were all first written and later on translatedd to ciphered Marathi(Sanskrit)..This is truth.Like Marathi , around the globe, various languages of that region were and are oldest language of the world.

It's so obvious that Tamil is the oldest language:

Sanskrit is clearly a language of nomads which came to birth after 1500bc where Ancient Tamil was already reaching it"s medevial period then.Sanskrit is already dead in the modern world, whereby Ancient Tamil is still living rich in the modern world. Indusvalley is one of the oldest civilisation and In the historical past Proto-Dravidian was spoken throughout India and Tamil being the Mother of Dravidian Tongue

The oldest language in the world is Armenian, if you look at the history of languages, Armenian language is the only language that doesn't affiliate with any other languages in the world. Unlike Hebrew, Arabic and other old languages have been a part of Greek, Latin, etc. Studies also proven that Armenians were around over 5000 years ago.. Some History if anyone didn't know.
