Thousands years BCE, most land was uninhabitated. Population was negligible. No kingdoms with borders. Only few hamlets/ towns near rivers. Formalized religion was yet to be. Trade & agriculture had started. Wandering/migrating was common all over the earth. https://t.co/WvlExwOKXl

Twitter is rife with the news of vandalism at the Brindavana of Vyasatirtha - the great Madhwa theologian (1460-1539)
This is a good time to reflect on Vyasatirtha
A figure not as well known as he should be
One who belongs to a period of v hectic theological activity in India https://t.co/H7N7oUKfm9
His most famous work is a book named "NyayAmruta" - a work of such immense importance in Dvaita thought that it has an entire portal dedicated to it today!

The 20th century historian of Indian philosophy Surendranath Dasgupta said - "The logical skill and depth of acute dialectical thinking shown by Vyasa-tirtha stands almost unrivalled in the whole field of Indian thought"
Nyayamruta is one of the few Indian books, about which it can be legitimately argued that it created "waves"
It shook the intellectual world, with its frontal critique of Advaita

Language is the most enduring glue to bind people together and old boundaries can change. For instance, all Bhojpuri speaking areas can be melded into a new nation instead of imposing Hindi. Of course, all depends upon the will of the people, ultimately.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151686058465087490?s=19
That's status quo but I'm trying to highlight that due to overpopulation, Development, Democracy, and Governance is not reaching the last mile. And correction is needed. Sovereignty to States is absolutely necessary for this purpose. Otherwise, self-determination unrest may rise.
https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1152281284531507200?s=19
Please try to understand my argument:
1. Each major language is a natural nation
2. They have been forcibly put under Delhi rule
3. This British legacy needs to be reversed
4. It's up to them to manage their future
5. 50m population figure is optimum
6. They can form a Federation
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151538698141356032?s=19
Power and progress are dominant concerns whenever I discuss Sovereignty to States whereas I stress on language and culture, the organic kernel of a nation. Recognising primacy of that is important relegating other materialistic speculations in the hands of future. @SpiritWithBody

Fine, but I have the compulsion of disseminating Sri Aurobindo's #FiveDreams broadcast on August 14, 1947. I believe that formation of an EU like Bharat Federation can be the nucleus of the future #WorldUnion
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151542747213398016?s=19
I'm arguing on the basis of Evolutionary prophecy of Sri Aurobindo which relies less upon history and more on the urgency of the ideal of human unity. He wrote this treatise a hundred years back and it's becoming increasingly relevant.
https://twitter.com/NathTusar/status/1151449185146658816?s=19
True, but nothing is permanent and Nature keeps on experimenting. We are not aware of its intention but Sri Aurobindo sketches a probable scenario in his The Human Cycle. He is confident that abstract notions like goodness, generosity, nobility, etc. will be a reality in future.
