Answer if I am correct?
by vijay sharma on Jul 05, 2007 09:05 PM  Permalink 

Prior to this only degrees obtained from IITs were recognised in full swing,and degree holders from other various Engineering Colleges in India,were to undergo further studies for two years of verysame branch and subject and only after that they were deemed to be qualified to get jobs in USA.Now as far as I have been able to understand,the degrees of all non-IIT Eng.Gradutes will also be equally be recognised,without requiring from them to obtain USA degree after putting into studies there for further two years.If it is correct, it is an achievement otherwise not.

Indians always do better than Americans.................
by Dhanamjaya S on Jul 05, 2007 08:58 PM  Permalink 

Many of my friends who had great difficulty in passing engineering exams in Indian colleges, are doing extremely well in America.
We dont need American degrees.
One advantage in America has it's objectiveness is better than India, which we should improve.
We should leave the slave mentality behind, especially running after Goras.

Now fake American degrees will start appearing...

So far the counterfeiters were only creating fake Indian degress. Now they will start making fake American degrees and the credibility of such degrees would be difficult to establish as it would not be possible for every institution to check up with the American university. Enjoy India...

hello evryone there... i had a question:
Are all types of Engineering degrees valid in the US? Here in India we have a system of getting an Engineering degree via distance education i.e. AMIE(http://www.indiaeducation.info/Engineering/Entrance-Exams/AMIE/).
It would be really great news for hardworking students of this stream to get global recognition.

Accreditation is not a new development . It was there since last 5 years and National Board of Accreditation was already member of International Board.
Please do not Flash useless news as people knew it.
It may be a news to Media-correspendent......

by ohmygod on Jul 05, 2007 06:29 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

They are exploiting us to get the talented from here and make them work in america for them by paying peanuts and tax even the pea nuts since they dont hold green card or citizenship and at the same time sell their expensive firearms and create tensions between us and china and then turn towards china to build deeper ties with them.Thats how their economy is strong and thats how their economy will never get week since they refined diplomatic goras cantake whatever they want in this world.They have already finishedoff with afghanisthan and pakisthan and now these countries might be foe for them.In future they could make deeper ties with china and then russia.And then send condolessa rice on diplomatic mission which will be broadcasted around the world quite extensivly but their exploitation of other countries will be covered since they diplomatic.Wow My goodness.

ENGLISH WORDS DERIVED FROM SANSKRIT
by vidyut v on Jul 05, 2007 03:28 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Very few people are aware that the ancient language SANSKRIT is the mother of European languages.
English is one such language which owes its parentage to Sanskrit. Many of the words in ENGLISH are derived directly from Sanskrit. The following words ( more than 150) illustrate the relationship between English and Sanskrit. There are many more words which are not included in this list. Similar is the case between Sanskrit, German, latin and French languages.

ENGLISH WORDS DERIVED FROM SANSKRIT

I am = (ayam aham)
Path = (path:)
Son = (san, santaan, sounu)

It is not that English words are derived from Sanskrit, rather, Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, etc, come from the same source. These languages are called COGNATE (born from the same source) and from them are derived in turn the languages of the INDO-EUROPEAN family of languages, which includes the languages of North India, Iran and Europe.
Some of the 'derivations' given above are suspect, e.g. Christ from Krishnata. It is not enough to compare a word in Sanskrit with one in English; we need to trace the history of the word through Medieval English, Old English and even older languages to be sure that the derivation is correct. For example, Father = Pithru sounds far fetched, till we give the full derivation:
Pithru, Pater (Latin), Padre (Spanish), Pere (French), Vater (German), Father.

Sitaram,

i find your comment very interesting. Perhaps you should write an article on how these languages are Cognate.

It is quite obvious that the writer possibly is not well educated. I wonder why he has not included the hindi word for biscuit ( it is called as biscoot in Hindi) Probably he is not aware that English has borrowed liberally from several languages (this the beauty of English. Is he aware that Jagannath (Orissa) has inspired a word in English. Is he aware that postpone which has been wrongly used by many Indians for years together has finally been recognized as such in English today?

Such supid (though patriotic(sic!) statements are to be avoided in the intellectual circles.

Mr. Ravi I know the writer is right. He is writing irrelevant bullshit as per the main topic but his assertion is right.
Yes, english has borrowed but it's roots are in sanskrit.
