RT | @tca_tca : Swapan Dasgupta gets it right: “From medieval vandalism...to the complexities of the colonial experience and freedom struggle, Indians are realising that history is much more than what politically correct textbooks revealed.”

In the #TOI @Aakar_Amnesty writes : "Ultimately, love for one’s nation must mean love for its people, because a nation is its people. If you don’t understand that you’re not really a patriot and you’re a fraud nationalist" ... 1/2

A song reflecting the catastrophic effect on Bhojpuri Society once the Jio's Free plan was abolished. Also pretty much definitive advice on Deleting History for better relationships.

When I say China's rise has been because of its ruthlessly pragmatic approach which was ideology free, I also mean they kept the malicious influences of religion at bay, and their own communist impulses under control.

They have a visceral disgust for the Western platitudes but have not been shy of learning from them. They learned with amazing eagerness. Hired the best minds of the world to work for them and to teach them. They sent their best minds abroad to learn from them.

Falling into the same trap that they did a millennia ago. In spite of being the most advanced civilisation in science, maths, trading, education and culture; India neglected military alliances and spending, and fell prey to minor marauding chieftains like Ghaznavi and Ghori. https://t.co/ppX9MVBF3v

This is the price of silence. The scales will always tip back to favor to the status quo, the inherent whiteness of the spaces we enjoy. Our Hindu festivals, our grief and history, will only ever be presented as an accessory to Western conquests…

This armchair analysis is based on the flawed assumption that societies are just waiting for the right leader to shake away the flaws. No surprise that Nehru mutra connoisseurs like @Retributions would want to credit him.

via @swarajyamag | @HindolSengupta : The critical difference to understand here is that India is not a classic modern nation state. It is a civilisation state. A civilisation is a much wider framework of history & socio-cultural canvas than a nation...2/2

#LawsOfHypocrisy 38. A person's one statement may seem unconnected or even conflicting with another statement they made. However, there is always a connection, often a connection that they are trying to conceal. This is what leads to hypocrisy.

For example, there may seem no connection between a person's love for guns and their anti-abortion stance. But there is a connection, it is their love for the Republicans and their covert christian white supremacy agenda.

This awareness of a deeper unity in consciousness will naturally promote a respect for diversity. 
Unlike identity politics that divide people into narrower boxes, this requires us to make the boundaries between the boxes fuzzy. But letting go of identities is not an easy thing.

Company is a monster created by the modern civilisation. Legal safeguards for concealing identity, liability, and syphoning of funds encourages promoters to perpetuate evil practices. Abnormally large companies, like an abnormally large nation like India, need to be right-sized.

Some support BJP, others oppose it. Politics, economy, history: everything is judged brazenly on partisan lines; will get amplified as election approaches. Informed and honest intellectual wrestling is not to be found. However, there is a narrow middle path set by Sri Aurobindo.

For all textual/linguistic expressions, the Veda is supposedly the most ancient and authentic source. Of course, the Veda itself has clear Zoroastrian and Egyptian roots. Sri Aurobindo has done extensive translations and written commentaries to offer a new interpretation the Veda.

There is a group mind that is ethical. It is not just the individual mind that is ethical, it is the group mind. In every species there is a group mind; in birds there is a group mind obviously working in their migrations and in penguins cooperating. The group mind is not just working in us. But, the group mind, behaving ethically, seems to be our unique, essential, qualifying difference. Rod Hemsell
