This leitmotif of Agni running away from doing His duty is seen in several places of shruti..

The verse अग्निर्देवेभ्यो निलायत​ । occurs in a lot of place, with each one set amidst an interesting situation with an equally interesting outcome!

"Cinema has infused mediocrity into every area of public life where rhetoric is an end in itself, slogans are intellectualism and Facebook memes are research.

No wonder then that the Millennial Tamil thinks kitsch is cool and complexity is a conspiracy."

In general the H-crowd at large is interested in certain figures, and is not that keen to dig deeper to learn more about other equally important figures

E.g. Sankaracharya is ofcourse a pan-Indian icon (though his origins too are in deep south)

https://twitter.com/shrikanth_krish/status/1152970986876276737?s=19

But then other Advaita figures are less well known

E.g. Madhusudana Saraswati from Bengal / Varanasi (16th cen) - few people have heard of him

So it is not a geographic thing. It's about selective valorization of certain names, and ignorance of others

Very recently through @blog_supplement I learnt about this vibrant intellectual culture in the city of Navadwip - home to so many giants - Raghunatha Shiromani, Vasudeva Sarvabhouma, Chaitanya

For the most part there is a lack of interest to learn

Even Chaitanya had to flee to Odisha. How can one expect them to go on reconversion spree on mass scale in a land ruled by Jihadis when preserving their own identity was a concern?

https://twitter.com/vajrayudha11/status/1152970143796027392?s=19

Leave reconversion spree, they had to do extensive polemic vs fellow H to defend right of Ms whom they had already made Krishna devotee to chant Harinama.

Overheard: Bharat Mata Tyagis are saying Indians should give up laptop and paper and use palm leaves as laptop is Western culture and paper is Chinese culture, to free themselves from 'slavery'.  😀 https://t.co/ToyCC5XfF4

Right strategy = constantly defending, heckling and digging heels  

Smart strategy = constantly understanding, collaborating, and improving
