History has to be viewed objectively and in a politically bipartisan manner. Doing so, we find that the left and the right are remarkably similar in their choices and values - the vicious fight is over which set of individuals get to rule. Read: https://t.co/OqNuZ2GPyb
It’s astounding that both the right and the left accuse each other of betraying the freedom struggle. Because both are right. We compare the choices, show both did the same things. Shadow boxing must end.

Along with Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai and Aurobindo, Bipin Chandra was one of the extremist group, was also influenced by M.G.Ranade. He initially worked as a headmaster in Cuttack, and later took up journalism, starting weekly Paridarsak from Sylhet.

Basic ground reality no 2
When the rubber hits the road and things come to a head, it is the Sangh Parivar and affiliates that has the cadre, discipline and the actual gumption to get the job done. /3
And finally, remember that they had the humility to acknowledge when they were wrong and the integrity to course-correct. That is what we have to appreciate. It is also that quality that we must utilize to our advantage /7
There will always be people in the Sangh willing to give you a patient hearing, whether you're arguing for free gas connections or for upholding tradition /END

It is modernity not tradition which leads to garbage and pollution.
Delhi's pollution is due to crop-burning from chemical farming. Traditional agriculture can save us. But the fallout of toxic modernity becomes a pretext to attack more traditions.

The Four Key Pillars of Sanatana India that Sustains it: @dharmadispatch echoes my thought that stressing too much on individual rights with no reference to India’s culture is leading India to ruin and remorse. Should honour Veda Vyasa and not Hobbes https://t.co/diwXihvaWF

Hobbes's vision was an outgrowth of what he saw as a dog-eat-dog culture which he generalized to the entire human race. Vyasa expounded Dharma based on what the Purpose of Existence is and came out of sublime Realizations and not foolish reactions to life.

It turns out that blood vessels tend to efficiently span the body and deliver resources to all of a creature’s cells while reducing the strain on the heart. This simple insight has given birth to a growing batch of successful theories that use the idea of an optimised biological structure

Shelley’s aesthetic theory was a variation on the Faust legend, but there inspiration comes from demons. Frankenstein’s monster is rather born from our minds – a shift in understanding creation. Still mysterious, inspiration is now germinated within.

Hindutva votaries are hell bent on establishing a puritan cultural order conforming to mythological descriptions. That the reality is far more complex and many-layered than any stretch of poetic imagination is often forgotten. Thankfully Sri Aurobindo wrote sense a century before https://t.co/ILrr6V7QVb

Hindutva enthusiasts emphasise culture, religion, and tradition over current needs, reason, and evolution. Each individual is free to decide his own way but imposing uniform lifestyle over vast groups of people in the pretext of tradition and promoting superstition is problematic.
