V. Swathi the reviewer is apparently not well-versed in Hindu
traditions.
Else, she would not have referred to the Bhagavad Gita as "hymn from
Hindu mythology." It is not mythology, Swathi, it is philosophy (if
you really want to use an English word). Swathi will do well to read
the recent MP High Court judgment. This judgment is discussed in the
blog:
http://bharatkalyan97.blogspot.in/2012/02/father-spare-us-thy-ignorant-sermon.html
This leads to the serious problem posed by teachers in India which is
the youngest nation on the globe with 35% of her population less than
15 years of age. How to teach these children, about our sanatan dharm
exemplified in the Song divine of Gitacharya?

Venkata Appala Chari translates the holy book into Urdu
In mundane imagination, a book titled 'Naghme Ilahi' will perhaps
invoke the image of classical Sufi saints in ecstasy of God's praise.
But hardly does it occur to even the most devout Hindus that the
title literally translates into 'Bhagavad Gita'!
If this Urdu translation of the hymn from Hindu mythology raises many
eyebrows, the translator S.T. Venkata Appala Chari, who achieved this
task at 74 surprises many more. Now 83, Mr. Chari, who retired as the
Statistical Officer in the Education Department long ago, claims that
his is the most authentic Urdu translation of the hymn. "I finished
the work in one year, and got it published in 2003. In 18 chapters,
it contains the translation of the meanings of 700 slokas," said
Mr.Chari.
The job was not as simple as said. Effort to script the slokas in
Urdu failed due to many differences between the languages in terms of
pronunciation. Barriers were encountered in translating a few words
such as 'Parashakthi' and 'Paramapadam', and in explaining the
relevance of a few mythological characters. These were effectively
addressed by providing a glossary. "During Mughal period, the
Bhagavad Gita was translated into Persian tongue. There have been a
few recent Urdu translations too, but not very meaningful ones. I am
satisfied that my translation is faithful to the original," Mr. Chari
says.
The Nawabi tongue came more naturally to Mr.Chari than either Telugu
or Sanskrit, as he had studied up to graduation with Urdu as language
medium.
"I owe my penchant for and knowledge of Urdu to my high school
teacher, Khadar Husain Khan, who would call me '111' referring to my
Vaishnavite symbols," he recalled fondly.
The octogenarian is now busy working on the manuscript of a 50-year-
old Telugu-Urdu dictionary.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <KalluM...@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <us...@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <jos...@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>
The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse through eternal-
september.org and by writing someone else's name or handle in the
"From:" header -- their favorite now is "fana...@gmail.com" (note
the extra "b" and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fan...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for many years.
