... it is in Petrarch's 1356 Of the Solitary Life or Solitude, I think, that we first find ideas that can clearly be classed as expressive or qualitative individualist. Consider: Petrarch advises a quasi-Epicurean withdrawal from public affairs into one's own solitude, because those involved in public affairs... I don't think I can emphasize enough how early Petrarch is expressing this ideal that it is good for our thoughts to be our own and uniquely individual. It's not just that he's saying such things before Kant and Rousseau and Goethe. He's saying it a century and a half before Luther, before Machiavelli. He is starting off the Renaissance, but only starting it.

Auroville in India : The City of Dawn and a Model for Spirituality & Sustainable Living - travellingcamera.com/2023/05/aurovi
The Modi government can never make a mistake. In the past, present and future. It is the most competent administration the world has ever known. Because it says so. Independently verified by the ruling party.
Today is #NaradJayanti. An auspicious day for journalists. According to Hindu mythology, he is the carrier of messages between the three worlds and has a superior perspective of interests and insights. He engineers meaningful conflicts to shape a better universe
#journalism
Journalism is not about nationalism. It is about telling nations what to do. They are not soldiers. They are the voice of the voiceless. If you don't pay heed to their words, why should they pay heed to yours?
Don't expect journalists to be neutral to values. Unbiased reporting is not to be confused with neutrality on issues of public importance. As a mentor-editor once told me: "If somebody has not lost sleep over something you have done, you are not journalist enough."
#journalism
Principles and interests are two different things in politics and diplomacy. Those who are hardwired to not recognise the difference between the two cannot be convinced. They have to be defeated.
Almost a hundred years old, known as a pioneer in subaltern studies. A great historian #RanajitGuha
Following The Mother & Sri Aurobindo helps not only in staying away from past religions and their festivals but also from paying obeisance to the great men or falling prey to their ideologies. Inclusivity and plurality may be politically correct but not conducive to self-interest.
