Glorified street reporters are now called editors. They have no reflective quality or ability to see through posturing. Badly need to read an Ernest Hemingway quote: "The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector. This is the writer’s radar"
Replying to
True. Or the fact that Christians ended slavery.
A plea to philosophers: stop numbering propositions. I can't remember what number refers to what later in the paper. Also, pls do not name principles. I promise you can write about them in prose without names or numbers. A better world is possible. Don't give up hope.
Replying to
The alternative is English prose. I know philosophers are hesitant to try it, but at its best it can be quite lovely.

Gilbert Ryle has a five-page rant about this in a paper he published just after he stopped being editor at Mind jstor.org/stable/2253256
The biggest contribution of Sri Aurobindo is he brings every socio-political, theological concepts in the domain of psychology(integral to be precise). Thus paving a way for 'Potential' experience in lifeform. Renaissance, Devatas, war n peace- the list is endless and diverse twitter.com/GoutamGhosal3/

CORRECTION: Chhoti Si Baat was 1976

Wanted to list Sanyasi too. It was a tough choice to pick 10 movies
Business and politics will stop having a nexus in India when cricketers stop dating movie stars. Crony capitalism and cosy culturism go together.
Worth reading: long review of ’s “Hindutva: Origin, Evolution and Future” book - a grand journey of core Hindutva Ideas through Indic perspective.
“To dispel the darkening clouds of despair and usher in new hope, we must work for a decisive change in 2024.”
I said at the release of ⁦⁩’s excellent book #BetweenHopeandDespair in New Delhi.
Sorely disappointed with Talageri. I had assumed more thought in his criticism after the first few sentences. IMO, it is not about a Hindutva party. It is about Hindus. What is our self perception and what is it we want? These two are so diffused, any political agenda will seem betrayal to some. Since Talageri hasn't told us what he means by Hindu agenda, issues, Hindutva et al, best to wait before going there.
The greatest contribution of Swami Dayanand was to point out the immense significance of Veda. Sri Aurobindo’s most important contribution in Vedic studies was to live and show us the spiritual experiences that form the origin of Veda. We are hugely indebted to both of them.

Not many people read my tweets or blogs but the only consolation is nobody else is doing what I have been attempting. Most of what I encounter is run of the mill and parroting appears to be a great quality. Let's hope, Indians rise from the spell some day! blogger.com/profile/120675

Development has been happening in India during the last sixty years, everyday, irrespective of the party in power or ism in vogue. It's a cumulative process and what we see today will pale in comparison to what takes shape a few decades hence. Democracy is a more crucial concern.
Asserting something as I think, I believe, or To my mind is highly precarious. Ideas come from diverse sources and some erroneous ones recur by sheer habit. Thus, to claim ownership might lead to wrong consequences. The traditional doctrine of syādvāda takes shelter under may be.
