Daily Pioneer-26-Nov-2017
I remember my father gifting me a book in the year 2005 by Sri Aurobindo, 'Savitri' and hoping I would imbibe some of the wisdom in this poetic discourse. The story of Savitri as we all know uplifts the soul to those heights wherein a woman with her devotion to Satyavan bring back her dead husband to life from Yama.

This is the inherent lacuna in projecting India as a civilisational area which leads to a restrictive view of Indian nationalism as reflected in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, one that he resurrects. This incompleteness is the result of Deen Dayal not beginning with the universal premise of Erasmus with whom humanism begins.
Times of India (blog)-07-Dec-2017
Sri Aurobindo said that the understanding of the initial distinction and eventual union between prakriti and purusha is the defining question of the human condition. Thereby, we recognise and create boundaries and borders, thresholds and mandalas, in many different ways, for many reasons. Every border ultimately is the ...

Feel unhappy as Bengali is prisoned in an alien script. Madhumalati written in the rounded Odia script would look so majestic and bountiful.
The trouble we all face today is that many think feminism is a subject everybody understand. No. It is a proper academic subject, not coffee table discourse, so everybody don't get nuances. #GenderedLanguage is a thing, try to learn about it instead of arguing
As a result we have two kinds of feminists in the world
1/ One who actually went to a universities and studied feminism / read up theories
2/ One who is passionate about women issues but unaware about theories.
Often we have clashes between these two. @AnooBhu @Vidyut
And typically this conflict ends like this: A denial of being feminist. A complete denial of over 200 years of women movement that produced feminist epistemology and scholarship. A stubborn arrogance and closed mind, which is not ready to learn something new. The End. https://t.co/R80xVVVEGD
