Do whatever you like to education but never forget the contributions of pioneers like Ram Mohan Roy, Keshub Chunder Sen, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee for whom India is what it is today. The Evolutionary arrow should guide policy and not blind idiocy.
Sri Aurobindo's Bengali writings (Dharma: 1909-10) contain many of his ideas in concise form that were expanded or commented upon later (Arya: 1914-21). This volume is a must read as consummation of intellectual ferment of the past one hundred years.

Taking all of human history (if not life itself) -- North, South, East, West -- as our own autobiography, that is integral or "universal history". The meaning of the Atman or the Anthropic Principle could not be otherwise.

This is what Yeats' ominous poem signifies -- the breakdown of the mandala of being. The Falconer and the Falcon of the poem correspond to Aurobindo's "Sovereign and his Minister", and to McGilchrist's Master and Emissary modes of consciousness respectively.

I haven't done this yet, but you might find it interesting to compare Rosenstock-Huessy's "Twelve Tones of the Spirit" to those of The Mother. Rosenstock-Huessy's essay appears as Chapter VI in his book *I Am An Impure Thinker*, available online at https://t.co/CtpcVaecJE

Revealingly, the antithesis of the "symbolic" is the "diabolic". The former means "to bring together", while the latter means "to toss obstacles in the way". The cognate terms would be "integration" and "segregation" correspondingly, or the integrative and disintegrative forces

Chaudhuri's *Evolution of Integral Consciousness* though, was only a primer or introductory to the integral. It was quite short, but very rich, as I recall it. Must read that again I think.

This is why liberalism often ends up coupling to ideas like eugenics & evolutionary psychology, which, in effect, argue that people can’t change, their abilities & desires are innate & unalterable (That this Actually contradicts ordinal utility usually passes right over them)
The Walrasian model tended to focus on selection incentives. The game theory model focuses on direct incentives. The Marshallian & classical models focused on a mix. Psychology focuses on the habituating incentives.
Without institutions, metrics & technologies, no action of any type, let alone social action, is possible, desirable etc. at the end of the day these 3 are the ‘last instance’, so to speak.

Do you think that entire field of linguistics exists to prove that someone moved into India and that's the sole reason that they study languages? You think their is no link between any languages?
Not really their is a considerable body of research on Sanskrit in west, maybe not it being oldest but I do get your concern what I am saying is linguists shouldn’t be dismissed in their entirety as just being bunch of European supremacist that’s far too reactionary view.

Anyone can see the link. No need for linguists who have made up fake theories for 200 years - fiddling with links to create non existent languages like "proto Indo Iranian" simply to cook up an invasion/migration movement of language from Europe side to India.
I believe you have not been exposed to the vicious polemic that modern linguists employ against anyone who points out fallacies in their assumptions. You sound like a science guy to me, like I am. You use the language of a science man. Even that is alas, going nowadays
