Welcome to the multipolar world:
Kishore Mahbubani:
"The US has the freest media in the world
But when I come to the US ,I feel that I've been cut off from the rest of the world.
The insularity of the American discourse is actually frightening"

Agree. Have to say that RW debate is very interesting for the most part. Lots of different strands of thought and a broad tent for many competing ideas.

Why don't spengler readers also explore Sri Aurobindo's Human cycle would be an interesting comparative study

Most beautiful thing I ever read about real human Unity I would love to see in our community. Not interested in any external and social get to gathering. Not into brotherhood but love to experience soulhood as described by Sri Aurobindo.
The rise of India will contain in itself the rise of Sri Aurobindo’s ideas—the two are interlinked, I argue in this thought-provoking conversation with Michel Danino, and Ameeta Mehra at the .

If society is progressing towards a divine life as Sri Aurobindo has predicted, then the end of strife and suffering is very much on the cards. Manifesting the divine is a task in yoga and matter revealing the spirit is the aim. Let's hope that the evolution is swift and evident.
The teachings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo may be spiritual in nature but the outcome is political. He has predicted overhaul of the present world order and so their devotees should be prepared for participating in such eventualities. Aligning with the evolutionary arrow is crucial.

Technology and communication have facilitated a form of globalisation inconceivable when Sri Aurobindo wrote. May be its pace will grow. But overthrowing the dismal characters controlling its levers is the priority. Huge nations are hurdles for the creation of successful co-operation.
Political parties are striving to derive the maximum benefit from the Constitution which prevents grassroots democracy to grow. Influential civil society activism for nurturing sound democratic practices and participation is also absent. So, awareness needed for its resuscitation
One third support is sufficient for winning electoral majority but two third endorsement is needed for measuring someone's popularity. Despite ruling for a decade now, the RSS-BJP-Modi combine has failed to establish a strong nationwide presence. Local affinities are stronger now.
We have seen the heydays of Congress and Janata rule. They have evaporated. Similarly the present dispensation seems to be going strong but can't last long. The future belongs to Sri Aurobindo and those who recognise it and arm them with their teachings will benefit in the future.
Due to aggressive posturing by the RSS-BJP supporters and myriad controversies, most Hindus now feel reluctant to be identified by the term Hindu. Many followers of Ambedkar also feel suffocated in Buddhism. Savitri Era Religion dedicated to Sri Aurobindo provides a safe shelter.
Constitution doesn't leave any power in the hands of citizens and transfers it to political parties. Not even a single civil society institution is promoted. Media, which is supposed to educate, becomes a vehicle for propaganda and weapon of political parties. Corrective is needed.
Education of the body - medicine and education of the mind - philosophy are neglected in school education. Professional courses ensure further isolation. So, when one feels induced to read, say, Savarkar, then he should also read Kierkegaard or Heidegger apart from Sri Aurobindo.

Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister for ten years and Modi is going to complete another ten years. The Constitution of India is responsible for multitude of defects in our democracy. It is also encouraging horse trading and all kinds of mobilisation around castes and religions.
Usual suspects crying hoarse over death of democracy bears zero credibility. Where are the sane voices? Where is the independent and objective picture? Planting supporters in all media outlets has become so pervasive now. Do we have anyone with upright views left in this country?
All those who are disgusted with AAP, BJP, and Congress should join Savitri Era Party. Nothing can be achieved simply by criticising. Concrete action needed by getting organised under the banner of a political party. India has got independence but not democracy. It has to be won.
People don't realise that they are under the spell of their either political and religious or economic ideological opium. Thus, to consider what they spout as an independent and neutral opinion is totally wrong. Those under the basket traps of rival ecosystems are a deluded lot.
Education and scholarship should induce wisdom but many become a victim of the texts and turn fanatics. Too much specialization by disregarding other spheres of knowledge can be counter-productive. Reading Sri Aurobindo orients in a multi-disciplinary approach moored to the Veda.
Respecting people and real nationalistic feelings is important instead of keeping the current colonial legacy floating. Each language in India is a distinct nation and there is no inherent virtue in being a part of a large nation. Last mile democracy and development will flourish.
