Within the Hindus, there will always be raging debates between the orthodox, traditional and modernist tendencies. You simply assume the Sangh Parivar to be of one type & feel betrayed when some of its positions are of another.

You seem to want a UCC. Don't you realise a UCC is against all tradition? Will have the power to steam roll customs based on modernist whims. Similar contradictions exist in other areas as well. These need reasoning & debates. Not name calling.
Seems like a Liberal stance. A welcome change! @viryavaan @zeneraalstuff
Spare a thought for those idiots who keep trolling without even having an iota of idea what they are barking about. Must be mentally tough for them to maintain that level of lunacy.

Man’s right is to pursue the Truth freely and to approach it freely in his own way. But each one ought to know that his discovery is good for him alone and is not to be imposed upon others.

Complains galore: imposition of English, imposition of shuddh Hindi, imposition of festivals, imposition of GST etc. The original sin however is the imposition of a fiction called India. Dismantling it can solve many problems; States deserve Sovereignty. https://t.co/9iAAicBwoU

Mohan Bhagwat undoubtedly is the Man of the Year, 2018 who pulled the rug from under Hindutva firebrands. Although, many suspect him to have pulled a fast one since he appears to be running with the hare and hunting with the hounds, he is unmistakably getting down to brass tacks.

By dropping the word "Dharma," many try to pose as ethical persons but an examined life is not an easy proposition. Reading The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's works makes us aware as to how deep and wide the gaps between the canons of ordinary morality and demands of Vedic virtues are.

Many jobs offer the opportunity of free travel and often intellectuals get addicted to such hospitality. Corruption crops up and compromise creeps in as usual corollary. Pushing warped logic becomes the norm since he who pays the piper calls the tune. And, then sets in the ruin.

Kings ruled and built; created hierarchies and modalities to reign over mass minds and also to rein in rebellion. All these must be under critical scrutiny now, in a Democratic society as diverse as India. Tradition can't be shoved down the nation's throat hook, line, and sinker.

The militant camp within Congress represented by Lal-Bal-Pal could be identified as the source of Hindu nationalism, writes Anand Teltumbde @AnandTeltumbde in the @UNESCO Unesco women philosophers’s journal December 2017. Sri Aurobindo is not mentioned but he favoured #WorldUnion

Wealth is the product of knowledge and English its means. But government fanatics have trapped the poor in India into perpetual poverty by blocking access to English. I'm astonished at how bad is the English of the poor.

Whether it is Rahul in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Rancho in 3 Idiots (2009) or Barfi in Barfi! (2012), a woman’s personal or professional space is often taken for granted. ... And with the consequent disproportionate numbers, can we even begin to look for examples of female sexual agency?

["The problem is that although MRI can tell us where things happen, it can’t tell us *how* things happen."] Instead of Where or How, Sri Aurobindo wrote a poem called Who which perhaps provides the most satisfying answer to the riddle of this world. https://t.co/LEGaqsA6G4

This is about the law. Criminal defamation involves the state against an individual. Where the individual concerned is on opposite side of the ideological spectrum, you've supported the law, but when a friend like @Iyervval involved you don't. So you've revealed your inconsistency.
