Democracy is not a linear journey; populists and demagogues do find enough demand for their projects among voters. I argue that combined with majoritarianism, the project of Indian democracy becomes even more slippery: https://t.co/eWULbZ32A0

Perhaps the most important and original modern study of Yoga, vast and profound, is the Synthesis of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. Neglected because it does not emphasize asanas but outlines a radical change of human consciousness.

Sri Aurobindo offers an advanced psychological theory. He is also a therapist of supreme expertise. Read him n verify the truth of my statement.

The Life Divine is the highest achievement of human civilisation although only a handful on Twitter have read it. Many argue that the age old Indian civilisation will continue its journey but Sri Aurobindo has drastically altered the course of Evolution through his epochal works.

Philosophy is important for developing an open mind and respect for arguments or evidence. Most remain prisoners of tradition and rhetoric so much so that even a rigorous scholar like Sri Aurobindo is ignored. Index of the abysmally low level of intellectuality of present Indians.

Sri Aurobindo has criticised learning by snippets but most people including ardent followers and devotees seem to be satisfied with knowing him in snippets. There's palpable reluctance to understand his versatility and resistance against consulting multiple dimensions of his work

Pushing a narrative and telling the right thing are two different things. Obviously, people are driven by material gains and no escape from such compulsions. Sri Aurobindo, however, provides diverse perspectives to sense current priorities and imperatives. https://t.co/yA7GHvJTdf

"Any language is at its best when it opens minds rather than closes them." @SagarChoudhary_ 's lucidly reported essay on Hindi's oppressive past and present does exactly what it argues language, in its best form, should.

"I realise now that my upbringing in Hindi did not just delay my discovery of Ambedkar, it kept me from understanding the very concepts of justice and equality. This was not an accident."

Every darkness has light at the end. Am thankful to Malhotra, his Mafia & their Bengali namesake minions.
If it was not for their unbridled hate towards Bengalis, I wouldn't have picked up this book & get into another journey towards roots.

And while the women in Bankim Da's novels are fiercely independent, with a mind of their own, and strong in character, at the same time they never lose track of their Indian values or roots. In a way he was a feminist, but never let go of his Indian roots.

The ideal society is where people treat work as a tool for self-discovery and not as an obligation of slavery.
Work is needed. But only so that people achieve such a level of skill that it becomes as easy as cutting butter and daily life’s activity becomes a form of meditation. https://t.co/GRDI0Dgl2Y

Simple, fresh, wholesome, cooked from scratch is what we need. All of which grow in abundance in our respective countries. Let's reconnect to the joy of eating & celebrate food than being unhappy eaters who are always in guilt.

Today I was with a bunch of 12th std Humanities students and asked them what are you studying in your History text this year. Pat came a reply, Mahabharatha and how it shows caste was developed, people like Hidimba sidelined for her caste etc.,

Is there any wonder people protest at the idea of rewriting text books. When we want to rubbish the Puranas call them Myths, but conveniently use it as a piece of evidence to perpetrate theories on historical past and socioLogy.
Sanskrit is:
-very potent in its linguistic expression
-much fuller and subtler
-much more fluid
-in tune with the cosmic creative vibration
-a better instrument for a more comprehensive light
-a Mantirc language in which the sound and the sense correspond
-always amazing
