Promoting honest, astute, and dispassionate scholarship is the need of the hour to rectify distortion of history and the overall narrative accumulated so far. Courage needed to face Sri Aurobindo's work which is subversive of the tradition and religion. https://t.co/267RIdYTnj
What you are alluding to is not without a grain of truth but it's a complex subject with a large number of persons and institutions as stake holders. Not easy to appropriate or hijack what The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have created so assiduously; no one can claim he/she understands
Please don't generalise in that manner. Ashram and Auroville are different and the latter is a tiny enclave struggling for its existence. Devotees of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo are spread across the country. In Odisha alone, there are thousands of Centres and six hundred Schools.
You are a well read person and I respect your views. In any case, you are only supporting or justifying a fait accompli out of political love. Hope, you reconsider on this a decade hence. I however stand by my verdict and feel proud that no one has objected except @krishnarjun108

Deeply moved by Modi's act of washing feet of sanitation workers, shows his deep personal level of renunciation, but IMO it's not Raja Dharma, Bharat at this time needs leader who follows Kshatra dharma, Modi got mandate to act boldly and liquidate enemies, not for feet washing
Neo vendatists and Gandhi et al have deeply distorted the Sanatana Dharma of Sri Krishna, they have caused deep distortions, the result is even men with great spiritual discipline and at high places pretend humility or misjudge it, real humility is following his sva dharma
A leader is not a servant, he should inspire people to follow the right path according to their sva dharma, this is the sanatan dharma, his service to people is through inspiration of the right kind, not pretending servile behavior disregarding the etiquette of his sva dharma
