Assorted tweets:
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 It's unlikely that by disabling 95 % of the population, the Markets will ever be efficient.

@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 You speak as if English is necessary for "Markets". Tokyo's GDP is greater in nominal terms than the whole+
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 + of India's. Some "English advantage"; if by Market you mean an endless stream of mediocre call-center+
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 + workers, then please state it to be so. Or perhaps you're too keen on holding on to the class advantages the current states gives you. Either way, betrays a totally clueless and unimaginative mind.
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 This is whole project of Orientalism (which continues to this day).
@Ozymandias1993 @PavanK_Varma describes this in his book. Sadly his party has done zilch to rectify it. https://t.co/clFSzfLAdJ
@SavitriEraParty Ah! an Advaitin becoming modern by spewing inanities about the "Market". Well done sir. Alas, your economics is good either

@Ozymandias1993 @SavitriEraParty If *you* want to mine for Iron in a Gold field, that's *not* the "Market", that's *your* stupidity.

@Ozymandias1993 @SavitriEraParty Sensing is of course an issue, which is why such brainless "greedy" systems get stuck. +
@Ozymandias1993 @SavitriEraParty + Very well known in optimization (as @sarkar_swati would attest).
@sgpriolkar @Ozymandias1993 @sarkar_swati @SavitriEraParty ... and clearly denying access to 95% of the population is good policy. Pfft!
@sgpriolkar @maidros78 @sarkar_swati @SavitriEraParty Yes, we can achieve a monopoly over call centers and BPOs at this rate. Well done!
@sgpriolkar @maidros78 @sarkar_swati @SavitriEraParty In that case, we should beg and plead the British to come back and rule us. +
@sgpriolkar @maidros78 @sarkar_swati @SavitriEraParty + They're atleast competent at ruling a (quasi) Anglo-Saxon state!
@maidros78 @sarkar_swati @sgpriolkar @SavitriEraParty I often wonder if there are enough Indians worthy of India; esp. since this is +
@maidros78 @sarkar_swati @sgpriolkar @SavitriEraParty + the state of even the "cultural nationalism" junta (relying on Elst's obs.)
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 It's also interesting that the poverty caused by this obvious tax/gun/court powered system +
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 + is pushed on a non-existent power-structure called "caste". No one speaks of the +
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 British-engineered famines and the economic destruction of India's craftsmen. +
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 See, 
No tries to untangle causality for this very reason. +
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 + They're probably aware that their orientalist projects will come to nought, if they dig+
@rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 +into sources like Dharampal did.
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 Not if a feudalistic state puts it in a straight-jacket (which is what yours does).
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 Was this also the "market" ?
@Ozymandias1993 @rajivchandran Indeed! @SavitriEraParty skirts the issue of regulation and legislation completely.
@Ozymandias1993 @rajivchandran @SavitriEraParty Markets are too "greedy" to ever be optimal in the long run (which is what legislation should achieve).

@SavitriEraParty @srin151a It almost sounds like Sri Mohapatra is talking about God. ☺️

@srin151a Sri @SavitriEraParty assumes that the market will fix all without accounting 4 subpar signalling sans perfect info. @sarkar_swati
@srin151a What he means is that the deracinated elite will choose for us - and he'll love their choice. @SavitriEraParty @sarkar_swati
@srin151a They'll choose to ditch Indian languages because, well they don't know any better. @SavitriEraParty @sarkar_swati
@srin151a And we faithful subjects will go along with that choice because...The Market! @SavitriEraParty @sarkar_swati
@a_r_j_u_n For all the pontification about choice, he seems to selectively favour top-down impositions. @SavitriEraParty @TejasOmkara
https://twitter.com/Ozymandias1993/status/726520218806165504
@a_r_j_u_n Here's news, @SavitriEraParty, your democratic market would never have passed the Indian Constitution. @TejasOmkara
@SavitriEraParty I see. So India is a factory of workers-to-be-exported-to-the-West, is it? That's its raison d'ĂȘtre?
@SavitriEraParty Hmm. So if the market tomorrow says, ditch all Indian languages, that's exactly what we should do?

@rajivchandran @Ozymandias1993 @srin151a What a fraud @SavitriEraParty . To use names of Sri Auroqindo and Mother to subvert Indian culture.

@Ozymandias1993 @SavitriEraParty @srin151a Market forces favoring English is a myth. #EnglishApartheid enforced by Govt. Courts, Higher-Ed.

@sankrant @Ozymandias1993 @SavitriEraParty @srin151a exactly. Imperialism/monopoly of english invisible to intelligentsia. Willful deceit?
@SavitriEraParty @Ozymandias1993 English speakers  willfully oblivious to  apartheid it perpetuates but gleefully project same on sanskrit.

@srin151a @Ozymandias1993 @sgpriolkar @SavitriEraParty Aurobindo wrote extensively in Sanskrit&Bangla diehard follower wants these ditched+
https://twitter.com/sarkar_swati/status/726531708305166337
@srin151a @Ozymandias1993 @sgpriolkar @SavitriEraParty So no one would be able to read Aurobindo in the language he wrote :)
