That's why I mentioned not Gandhian leadership. I mentioned kshatriyas as de leaders. A pro active Hinduism is what #SriAurobindo desired, not a passive one.

Peter Heehs wrote the final book on Sri Aurobindo. Vikram Sampath has written one on Savarkar now. Such a book on Subhas Chandra Bose is badly needed to end perennial discussions on him which, to say the least, is irritating. Failure of science is understandable, but why history?
Not exactly; it's an exacting book barring just one page. It didn't cater to popular expectation but it has documented most positive and negative aspects relating to Sri Aurobindo apart from all minute details of his life. Nothing can be added and in that sense final. @sathya_adv

I have a book called Pen-portraits and tributes by Gandhiji - U.S. Mohan Rao (NBT - 1969). A similar book by Sri Aurobindo can be very popular. Of course, many feel that Sri Aurobindo's assessments at times are a bit flowery, rhetorical, or polemical. Archer's case, for instance.

I might have recommended Sri Aurobindo's The Secret of the Veda several times, but his Vedic and Philological Studies (CWSA-Vol.14-742 pages) is a veritable treasure house to unlock many doors of Indian wisdom. And it's first such compilation in book form. https://t.co/rnB74m3p1q

Dharma has become synonymous with Hindutva but they are not very enthusiastic about the Veda. That may be due to the old antagonism towards Arya Samaj. However, The Secret of the Veda by Sri Aurobindo exposes falsity of Rituals by establishing their original purpose. @sakshitrust

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo don't differentiate between the so called sacred domain and the profane and thus work becomes worship. Surrender is the only overarching ritual in Integral yoga without reliance on any external paraphernalia or office of a priest https://t.co/dkU2V9DPnA

Well, PhD is nothing but crossing the threshold to enter the world of ideas and encounter it with more freedom and confidence. Unlearning parts of the thesis to accommodate future convictions is also a cruel reality, especially in Humanities. Any reference to Sri Aurobindo, btw?

Read the Odia translation of an article (Bengali writings - Vol. 6) by Nolini Kanta Gupta (13 January 1889 – 7 February 1983) on Unity of India in the current issue of Navaprakash (Puducherry). He obviously defends the present structure but concedes that the diversity is complex.

Human affairs as perceived by way of current affairs is merely a tranche. Even in its totality it's like a few pieces of a jigsaw puzzle without any assurance of being the authentic ones since rest of the pieces are either missing or it's not known whether a puzzle exists at all.

Hindutva votaries need to be polite therefore without flaunting any kind of certainty as regards cosmology or sociology. Superiority and exceptionalism are avoidable hubris. Berating others for their contesting point of view can be unsubstantiated chutzpah. Coexistence is basic.

Let language be the sole defining criteria for a nation when the States get Sovereignty. Preserving all dialects is a romantic idea but hardly practicable; they will perish. Major ones will survive just like merger of Banks. Economics will play a role toward an organic evolution.

I respect you both. Each person has his chosen intellectual trajectory, spiritual destiny, and Evolutionary assignment. Truth is a severely contested domain in the 21st century due to uncertainty of science and it's a catch 22 situation. So, let not there be bar on perspectives.

I feel pity for the Hindutva activists who undertake painstaking research for understanding various nuances of Islam in order to criticise it. Similar is the case of @devduttmyth who valiantly bears the burden of displaying the futility of mythology by wallowing in its quagmire.

Modernity came to India unfortunately through colonisation rather than national choice - which explains why decolonisation takes the form of a hopeless atavism rather than the growth of a native discourse of modernity.

It's in this context of decoherence and disintegration and a pandaemonium of the affects, though, that the quest for the Holy Grail of a new Integral Theory is sensed as so urgent. "One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star" (Nietzsche).

Intellectualism is overrated. Too much focus on it reduces the focus on common sense, intuition, self awareness, sensitivity, sensibility, spontaneity and sense of harmony in personality. How can only intellect be the single most overbearing report card of a human being?

much of history handed down - is the history of individuals. But what we read history for, at least I do, is to get the story of an identity: where both individuals and collective merge. Isnt that something thats crucial even for the individuals life view?
