Dear Ashik and bobinson, I may have a few doubts. How is that Katho Upansihad sloka becomes a "greater common property" of all? The paraphrase of this sloka is this: *May He protect both of us. May He nourish both of us. May we both acquire the capacity (to study and understand the scriptures). May our study be brilliant. May we not argue with each other. Om peace, peac*e, *peace.* Yes, one can interpret in it modern context. But how does it become an invocation song of modern technology institution?How can religious ( and bramhnical) scriptural sloka be integtrated to this endevour of learning? Interestingly, one "*inappropriate"* image in the signatue part is the "rose". "lotus" image would've integarted well with the lyric, bg bit and sloka. secondly, I think many has pointed out here the combination of taliban with saffron. "saffron clad talbans" soemhow denotes saffron as some what "innocent". (am refering to saffron as metonym). Even in a precisley "agraharic" issue, why should we bring in Taliban without any reason? The very reference to "saffron" is enough to make the point.
