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.
