Very happy to see #MamataBanerjee for PM campaign. I hope Mayawati and other leaders gather force, pump up their ambitions for PM post. This competition is very imp in democracy, leaders across board seemed to have surrendered to Modi. Get ready people. https://t.co/4SR8buuHHc
This is a classic case of how parties in power will subvert good sense to get votes. The other was Shah Bano Act. BJP is also advocating personal law for Sikhs, while advocating Uniform Civil Code #UCC. Please read my #DraftUCC2016 https://t.co/RG0cBCuOJv
The number of MPs in Parliament and state legislatures can be trebled and at least one-third of seats be reserved for women. This is another idea.
I am also advocating 50% jobs for women in all police stations across India.
Each constituency electing one man and one woman is the best formula for deepening of Democracy and dependable airing of people's voices.

Unlike the Westernized, English-speaking progressives in India, Siddaramaiah is not rootless. He has located his politics in regional identity & ethnic pride instead of religious triumphalism - @BDUTT https://t.co/QiKChCA4Mz
Dual citizenship concept must be extended to all states, as in J&K. Each state must have the power to define eligibility for state citizenship, independent of federal citizenship. Linguistic homelands must be preserved.

Since 2015, Shourie has become a scholar for Ramachandra Guha because that was when Shourie turned anti BJP
Earlier, when Shourie hadn't turned anti BJP, the same Ramachandra Guha had abused Shourie and dismissed him as "a pamphleteer parading as historian" https://t.co/57JTu3MiXN
A quick rebuttal to Prof Ram Guha's scathing piece on narcissism and Indian scientists: http://t.co/81Yrysql8x http://t.co/gg0G5fzoGj
STUNNED. In his books, articles, tweets, Prof Guha does mention Allama Iqbal, but NEVER ONCE his chilling fanaticism, bigotry, misogyny. 1/2 https://t.co/EUqSDkZ8bJ
STUNNED. Prof Guha, although credits Sir Syed with the two-nation theory, OMITS all of his SHOCKINGLY bigoted views. https://t.co/YqCExKUrGz https://t.co/uynVI3nNJP
STUNNED. Prof Guha names Periyar as one of the Makers of Modern Asia; is laudatory, but WIPES OUT his call for breaking Gandhi's statues, slandering Ambedkar, burning holy books & the Constitution, and openly calling for the killing of Brahmins.
SHOCKING selectivity on display. https://t.co/btiQTDOxwO
STUNNED. Prof Guha, who now showers praise on Arun Shourie calling him a credible intellectual & author of serious books, had earlier showered ABUSES at him, calling him ill-informed, bilious, bigoted, and a pamphleteer.

Funny how ideologues conveniently hide that their 'Leftist Communist' Bhagat Singh avenged the killing of Lala Lajpat Rai, who said this: https://t.co/Z5tDitN73S
Doubtless Bhagat Singh was in disagreement with Lajpat Rai on many views, but there was tremendous mutual respect. Left ignores this.
The Left also hides the fact that, if it was Lala Lajpat Rai who co-founded the Hindu Mahasabha, he also co-founded AITUC. Own up. https://t.co/41kFcRGerV

Outright ethnic hate articles remain in RW flagship portals, principal office bearers who expressed ethnic hate remain too. Not surprised that think tanks hire “scholars” who plagiarize. Anti-intellectualism and hate are at the core of BJP-RSS ecosystem https://t.co/swdMb6x5xr
Shri Elst is wrong here. The primary goal of the Hindu Nationalist project is to wean so called backwards away from the anti-nationalist camp. Anything that enables it, must be done. https://t.co/bWplAZdsE2
Shriman @saliltripathi is an ideological Liberal. To be illiberal towards ideological Liberalism is a virtue all Nationalists must inculcate in themselves. Without this clarity, one shouldn't label such Liberals, illiberal. https://t.co/cZaLktnsZ8
I don’t agree with the thrust in Shourie’s books but at least he sought to make a sustained argument which is much more than be said of the RW Trolls of today who cannot go beyond filthy personal abuse. You can debate Shourie, as I did, but you can’t debate mere name callers. https://t.co/aCFpm2W1qi
If you have not learned the Vedas orally in a veda school I suggest that you read Aurobindo's "The Secret of the Veda"-freely downloadable (or expositions on his work by Rl Kashyap). All this kine-shine, horse-shorse etc are all metaphors with deeper meaning mistranslated by gora
Good question. A Vedic education takes 10-15 years the time that a modern education eats in order to get a PhD. That is why we have so much misunderstanding of the Veda. Our education is English Christian Indologists wrote in Eng & we read that. Aurobindo is readable in English
Internet age is only the current excuse for the handicap of English education being needed for survival. That problem has existed since late 1900s - not just 'internet age"
In fact Internet age has made it far easier to access the lies and controversies that have been piled on us that our fathers and grandfathers could do nothing about

As criticisms raged over Bose’s work in England, Tagore wrote in a Bengali magazine that Bose was to be celebrated not just because he was helping recover the self-respect that colonial rule had injured and for leading India into Western science, but also because he was +
Salute to this great son of India who showed there was an “Indian way of doing science” and for a while, seemed on the brink of challenging not just the experimental and theoretical protocols of western science but also its very foundations.
