In the escalating verbal battle between the Congress and the BJP following the recent clash between the troops in Arunachal, the Congress asserted that Rishi Rajpopat, a 27-year-old Cambridge University student who has solved a 2,500-year-old Sanskrit grammar problem, had received a scholarship from the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation. The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, whose FCRA registration was revoked a few months ago, is at the centre of the debate because the BJP alleges that the foundation received funding from China. Amidst celebrations for Rishi Rajpopat's accomplishment, Congresswoman Supriya Shrinate claimed on Sunday that Rishi only received funding from the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation.
The Bhakts are now perplexed. As they were toasting Rishi Rajpopat's accomplishment, they learned that he had won a scholarship from the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation to study at Cambridge University. The Congressman tweeted his best wishes for Rishi in the future.
China gift and the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation
The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation's FCRA licence was revoked in October due to alleged violations of the foreign funding rules. The charity received $1.35 million from the Chinese embassy, according to recently quoted Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
The conflict in Tawang has come up again because the Congress wants a debate on it in Parliament. Regarding this donation controversy, the BJP has increased pressure on the Congress by denouncing Rahul Gandhi's recent statement that Indian soldiers "were pummelling" by the Chinese side.
Sanskrit grammar puzzle, Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, and Rishi Rajpopat
A rule taught by Panini that was decrypted by Rishi Rajpopat has the potential to revolutionise Sanskrit studies. Priyanka Gandhi, the head of the Congress, thanked Rishi Rajpopat and mentioned that he had won the Rajiv Gandhi Cambridge Scholarship.
For Indian students who aspire to attend Cambridge University, the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation established the Rajiv Gandhi Cambridge Scholarships in 2014–15. In 2017–18, Rishi Rajpopat received the scholarship.
