From refusing to give information on how close to 30 books were banned in independent India and how those bans were never revoked, the Ministry finally relented and offered to give information on three books: The Satanic Verses, James W. Laine’s Shivaji and Peter Heehs’ The Life of Sri Aurobindo. But even here the Ministry continued to dig in its heels, citing potential law and order problems that would arise from sharing full information on the books, till the Central Information Commission ordered it to share whatever it had subject to the provisions of the RTI Act.

Consistency is the virtue of dead minds. We evolve and are lucky when we shed our past and former selves. That’s what My Experiments With Truth taught us. Your recognising of where you were and where you’ve come shows how you’ve changed. Your critics are fossilised.

What u describe is a trifling little thing called prejudice, or even less worrying bigotry or the trivial attempt at just a harmless bit of demonization. Inconsequential matters like genocides hav been perpetrated against Hindus in general & brahmins in particular based on these.

My heart is heavy. As a perennial migrant, I found solace in your words, #MeenaAlexander. Your poetry helped me navigate anxiety-ridden journeys across (meta)physical borders and to celebrate (unapologetically) the murkiness of identity and belonging. Thank you for everything. https://t.co/H2E1cXXYTo

Most of us didn't humiliate women by talking about their private parts even as 4 year olds. You don't need to "learn" and "evolve" to know basic decency. Your apology is as insincere as your support to womens rights. https://t.co/AYAliSkgpE

Far from being a simple synthesis of or equidistant from, both Islam and Hinduism as portrayed by establishment historians, Guru Nanak represented a spiritual and civilizational engagement of Hindustan with the consequences of an expansionist religion.

https://twitter.com/PactAuroville/status/1065574645301239809?s=19
The book, meant for all who appreciate the things Auroville stands for, tries to capture the insights and inspirations for one’s joy and enrichment from Karan Singh’s charismatic person while presiding over the Auroville Foundation for the major span of its existence. The book has six parts constituting Karan Singh’s speeches in and on Auroville, selection from interviews, letters, articles on Auroville followed by a visual presentation of his early visits to Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry and assorted topics of interest. There is also a special addendum “Light on Karan Singh” which contains reminiscences and perceptions on Karan Singh from many scholars and prominent figures from across the globe. The book contains plenty of striking pictures of Karan Singh in Auroville and at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry over the span of 50 years.

what i meant was, many so called nationalists didnt really fight british. but were used to thwart resistance against british in right moments., as foreign agents.
There's a difference between Socratic dialogue and badgering interrogation that disrespects boundaries. Most people know the difference but some unfortunately don't and really need to.

India’s scientific advances are by no means confined to ancient times. The work—and preferably brief life sketches—of modern Indian scientists such as S. Ramanujan, C.V. Raman, Satyendranath Bose and a host of others certainly deserves mention. #CVRaman https://t.co/DDS4Sf7S41

You are evaluating from the Indian standpoint but Sri Aurobindo was already a universal person and was concerned more with future Evolution of the mankind. The Life Divine published between 1914 & 1919 testifies it. So, please avoid words like embarrassing regarding #SriAurobindo

While your impression on Sri Aurobindo can't be disputed, and some of his devotees, in fact, wrote to him questioning his actions; he, however, defends himself stoutly and all the letters are available free online to read. You may go through them sometime. https://t.co/srUGIcl4Ea

Almost all facts about The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are documented but unfortunately many are spreading disinformation without reading. Mixing fact with fiction without any compulsion of substantiation is being considered by some as their birthright. Alas! https://t.co/3LSdjt47fI

RSS is attempting to give the vision of Sri Aurobindo a shape which should be seen as an Evolutionary leap. It's inevitable, The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have said it pithily. Please read the August 14, 1947 broadcast by #SriAurobindo in which he spoke of #FiveDreams & #WorldUnion.

Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis is well known but before it, I had read about the author in A study of Savitri by Prema Nandakumar. His epic, The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel (translated into English by Kimon Friar) with 33,333 lines is longer than Savitri (nearly 24,000 lines).
Solomon’s proverbs and Confessions by Augustine, Rousseau, Tolstoy, and Gandhi are famous. Sri Aurobindo too has written enough in First person so as to fill one full volume titled: Autobiographical Notes and Other Writings of Historical Interest (CWSA 36) https://t.co/XBl2sUvK5c
