Here's why Indians are trolling The New York Times

Here's why Indians are trolling The New York Times

http://ift.tt/2ohm0tx

The New York Times recently published a piece on the benefits of deep breathing. 

"Scientists at Stanford University may have uncovered for the first time why taking deep breaths can be so calming," the article says, quoting Stanford research. "The research, on a tiny group of neurons deep within the brains of mice, also underscores just how intricate and pervasive the links are within our body between breathing, thinking, behaving and feeling."

For the most part, Indians did not disagree with the assumption, but they did have a problem with the phrase "for the first time." 

They teared into the publication for not acknowledging the centuries-old practice of Yoga, for which, incidentally, the world credits India. Deep breathing, one of the most popular exercises in Yoga, is known as pranayam and has been practised for eons. 

The NYT article makes no mention of it. And readers are burning the publication for the oversight. 

There are angry comments on NYT's website...

...and, of course, on social media. 

And leading the charge on Twitter is top Indian businessman Anand Mahindra, who runs Mahindra Group — the $18 billion automobiles-to-IT conglomerate.

Really?And no mention of pranayama or Yoga? Does it take Stanford researchers with a lab full of mice to tell you what yogis knew aeons ago? https://t.co/Z8FD2b4tLM

@nytimes Yoga found it 5000 years ago... Your Stanford scientists are finding it now?

@nytimes Really? Does NYT even has foggiest of idea about its magnificent ignorance. Indians have *known it for thousands of years..

@anandmahindra As honorable Dalai Lama has said recently , compared to Indian knowledge, West is still in kindergarden.

@anandmahindra West has always done this. They learned from us and taught us the same thing saying they have discovered it with lot of efforts.
