The embedding of therapy speak in daily parlance has become so manipulative. Rather than language being used for empowerment and comprehension of oneself, it's consistently being misused and enables avoidance of accountability.

In a world constantly pushing us towards achievement, validation, and noise, Sri Aurobindo’s vision gently calls us inward.

This Tuesday, may we pause and reflect:

As we lead our lives and go about our days, are we chasing the world—or attempting to return to the Divine within? #tattvatuesday

#ExpressOpinion | “The backsliding of Indian nationalism, from Vividh Bharati nationalism to Hindi-Hindu-Hindustan nationalism, is the deepest tragedy of our times”

@_YogendraYadav on why the nationalism we inherited from the freedom struggle is in jeopardy today

Must read column from @_YogendraYadav tracing the roots of Indian nationalism. How we have replaced national UNITY (in diversity) with UNIFORMITY. Anyone who speaks up for even citizens freedom is now seen as ‘anti national’. Read here:

Despite being a generally poor nation, the concentration of wealth due to neoliberal economic policies (and very poor redistribution) means that India has a high number of super-rich (120 billionaires, at least). This proves the failure of 30 years of economic liberalisation in ensuring egalitarian outcomes, not matter which Party ruled. And remember, class in India almost totally equals caste as well. Thus, caste hierarchies are deeply entrenched now. That makes a comprehensive caste-economic census a must.

A lot of media excitement over the genome-edited crops. This is quite normal for anything that is backed by corporate interests. But before getting swayed, do find out why India should refrain from turning into a #GMRepublic. We need to safeguard our food. Re-plugging my article.

Superb piece on Nehru's 3,262 days in prison. We forget that Nehru was both a revolutionary freedom fighter and a modern nation builder, which as Lee Kuan Yew famously said, is an absolute rarity.

उत्तर भारत में 900 ईस्वी सन् तक तो ज़्यादातर हिस्से में बौद्ध शासन था। बौद्ध पाल राजा इस समय तक ढाका से लेकर कानपुर तक राज कर रहे थे। राष्ट्रकूट, कलचूरी आदि शासक भी बौद्धों को लेकर उदार थे। इससे पहले सातवाहन, कुषाण और इच्छ्वाकु जैसे विशाल साम्राज्य तो पूरी तरह बौद्ध वंशी थे। इससे पहले की कहानी मौर्य वंश तक जाती है।

फिर मुसलमानों का हमला हुआ। और फिर अंग्रेज़ और फिर कांग्रेसी आए। 

तो ये दलितों के शोषण का तीन हज़ार साल कब शुरू हुआ और कब ख़त्म हुआ? 

मैं इसकी विस्तृत व्याख्या सुनना चाहूँगा। शोषण हुआ है। पर कब??

The Indian Constitution does not prohibit polygamy. But the laws made by anti-Hindu Indian State prohibit it selectively for non-Muslims.

The Hindu the Marriage Act, 1955 prohibits it, and section 494 IPC (now section 82(1) BNS, 2023) criminalises it.

1/ Auroville's dream of unity is at risk. Since 2021, the Auroville Foundation Office (AVFO) has mismanaged land and funds, ignoring residents. We must expose their actions.
