This accent on higher qualifications is captured in the title, by the use of the term “Whare” to describe this institution as a higher house of learning, similar to the ancient Whare Wānanga academies. Our programmes are designed to support and promote academic excellence, and are benchmarked against those of other institutions. They are portable and transferable nationally and internationally. Therefore, it is important that we explore and integrate the world view of Māori and other indigenous peoples and engage in and critique the world views of others. #wharewānanga #tangatarau #rukuhiatemātauranga

On Waitangi Day, we at WILNZ would like to affirm our support of Te Tiriti, NZ's founding document. We believe in equitable outcomes for all students completing work-integrated learning, and the principles established through years of discussion and review on this historical document support these outcomes. As with many businesses and organisations, we know that this is an area where there is still plenty of room for growth, and a place where indigenous voices should be amplified. If you are providing work-integrated learning education, opportunities, or completing research in this space we would love to hear from you.

MY HARI MALAYSIA Malaysia is not just a mark on the map; it is our shared home, a place where our children and grandchildren will grow and thrive. The land we know as Malaysia has been a significant region for the last 2000 years, bridging the East and the West since the days of Ptolemy’s Geographica map in the 2nd AD. We have always been a world famous destination, at the crossroads of the old and new - the cusp of a changing world. Let us be clear: where there is hatred, there can be no true happiness. Without equitability, genuine equal opportunities for all citizens will remain out of reach. Mere rhetoric calling for unity will not suffice; we need decisive actions to bridge the divide that threaten to fragment our society. In the present landscape, each segment of society promotes its identity independently. Many define our national identity looking at the mirror, instead of looking out the window to grasp the beautiful landscape that greets us. We have no problems embracing Chinese, Indian and all ethnicities from our hinterlands of Semenanjung, and Borneo. However, admittedly, we bury our beautiful Malay heritage and culture for fear it being too Malay-centric: forgetting the fact that we are in the middle of the Malay Archipelago. Nusantara. Asia Tenggara. We forget the fact that it is this very rich heritage and culture of the Malay World was the unique quality that attracted the world to this part of the world once. Our spice. Our gold. Our seafaring people who plied the ocean and traded with all people globally. Craftmanship. Philosophy. Our beautiful architecture. Literature and legends from the Malay Manuscripts. We witness a society increasingly segregated along racial and economic lines. and a highly urbanised population. To make matters worst, education, once a beacon of hope for unity, now finds itself divided among different school systems, perpetuating social disparities. Increasingly divided through the co-existence (as opposed to integration) of national, international and vernacular schools, we can no longer rely on our schools to be the breeding grounds for instilling unity. Reflecting on our past, we find remnants of colonial strategies aimed at dividing us along racial lines for easier manipulation. During the Colonial masters era, they were determined to keep us apart. They fed us narratives of the lazy native who should stay in the Kampung. Chinese in the cities because they were industrious. Indians in the rubber plantation. We see lately suggestions on the relocation of public housing to the outskirts - this mirrors exactly what the penjajah wanted to do to deepen the divide, pushing the less fortunate to the fringes of society. Our diversity is our strength, and only by standing together as one nation can we build a brighter tomorrow for all Malaysians. #alifeinspiredbyhikayat #hikayatfandom #selamatharimalaysia

25/11/2023 . Divisi Acara di acara Cross-cultural Understanding Batch 2 2023, dengan tema "Straching Expedition of Cultural Insight and Scholarship"

In 2024, I think we should attempt to sort out the various divergent aspects of the chronology of our Itihasa. What will it take? 1. We need a panel of eminent, credible & influential scholars (like Rajiv Malhotra Ji, Prof. Subhash Kak, Raj Vedam Ji, David Frawley etc.), who have Bharat in their hearts. The panel could also include someone from the administration, like Prof. Ganti Murthy of IKS & some representative from the Ministry of Culture, to provide teeth to the panel. 2. We then need to list down the various divergent, controversial, or debatable aspects of our Itihasa! Examples: Chronology of Ramayana & Mahabharata, Buddha, Chandragupta Maurya, periodicty of Yugas etc. I am sure there are many many more. 3. We can then bring together various researchers and their respective divergent theories onto a common table. Example: Nilesh Oak I MBA I PE, JIJITH NADUMURI RAVI, Hari D K, Vedveer Arya Ji etc. 4. Somebody like Brhat | Bṛhat | बृहत् (Raghava Krishna & his team) can moderate the discussions. 5. Someone like Sangam Talks can record the proceedings & give them ample eyeballs. The names I mention are top of my mind and are just illustrative. The endeavor needs wider participation & involvement to make an impact. Why is this necessary? Given that these divergent theories are proposed by sincere researchers, and that each of them believes that their theory is right, and that they rightfully spread awareness about their work through their books, podcasts & social media posts, I believe that they may be inadvertently confusing the busy, non-scholarly Indian. They may be even unknowingly putting some of them off. That's unfortunate! There is a need to build consensus! #RediscoveringBharat aspires to connect Indians with the glory & essence of Bharat!
