Dear Sabhajit,
I agree that the fundamental requirement for a physics (scientific in general) theory is agreement of the model with (sensory) experiments. But I will point out that both the questions you raise do come up in physics. Idea of underlying reality is usually forced on physicists by experiments. For example, overwhelmingly large number of physicists believe in local but non real quantum world because of wave particle duality and Bell type experiments. “why are there things rather than nothing.” comes up in cosmology and even though the universe is supposed to come from vacuum, it is not nothing as imagined by common man. It has quantum fields built in! So a physicist has to worry about definition of “nothing” also!!
Best Regards.

[PDF] Modern western and indian drama; the need for a comparative focus
DRS Yadav - International Journal of Current Research in Life …, 2018… Indian drama in English has come a long way since the poetic plays of Sri Aurobindo, symbolical plays of Rabindra Nath Tagore, mythological plays of TP Kailasam, and lyrical plays of Harindranath Chattopadhyaya which …

The specious claim that Indians are “ahistorical” needs to be rejected in the knowledge that our past as recorded in our narratives or smritis is what makes us what we are rather than the cooked up history that has been forced down the throats of Indians from the pre-independence period till today.

Government of India : Save Sri Aurobindo Bhawan Kolkata - Birth Place of Sri Aurobindo - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/sB2Q09BXEb via @Change
I don't understand what they mean by restoration.. Do they want to convert the birthplace into a Bangladesh museum?.. If so, this is a disastrous proposal!
But this is much bigger than Mamata and Hasina.. Even if the masses don't understand the true worth of Sri Aurobindo, he is at-least regarded as a national hero.. What audacity to even discuss such a proposal!
So much noise about Ram Janma-bhoomi and Krishna Janma-bhoomi.. How can people so casually talk about Sri Aurobindo's Janma-bhoomi?

I am sure you will be able to write what you want. I write what I feel is important to me, not necessarily what you expect. If I could write what others expect me to write, there would be no need to write.
Nobody is neutral. Anyone that calls themselves 'neutral' are either dishonest or stupid for not realizing own leanings.
The tragedy is that even the doctors we consult have not suffered from a single disease that the profess to treat. How can they know? More seriously Pollock,s statement is bollocks. https://t.co/PT7z2UpztF

Extremists are always fringe. But intellectual justification for them is mainstream. Lots of learned people, including numerous TV anchors, justify them using #whataboutery and #monkeybalancing. https://t.co/sI39Q5Q5iO
#Whataboutery -- "The technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue." You mean to say that YOUR EVIL is justified? https://t.co/EysOjZAeUe https://t.co/Ah8zozoBCt
Feelings of sweet revenge after so many decades! However, no need to fall in the trap of anti-Modi rhetoric of Congress and the Left. Each party is infested by the fascist virus and hence Modi must be examined with much care as his four years' record has been of such moderation. https://t.co/U2ggBKAee3
Earlier, we judged on impressions, projections, and prejudices but now enough of pure data to base our views otherwise all future scrutinies will be skewed. This is incumbent upon all those who are independent. https://t.co/a6Jzka7Efi
A lot of hue and cry over Karnataka but it's nothing. SC intervention was unwarranted; politics should have been allowed to follow its natural course. I'm not a Modi supporter but he deserves a second term. We must switch to American system of two terms. Odisha must get a new CM.
Many ardent fans of Modi are now critical of him. While he has disappointed the Hindutva hawks unequivocally, his possible occupying of the mainstream space is terrifying opponents. This vindicates Vajpayee and Advani following the Kulkarni Doctrine (Goa musings) @SudheenKulkarni
One of Modi's strategy is to cultivate intelligent criticism like Shourie & Sinha duo on the one hand and Rupa, Dhume, and Tufail on the other. He also encourages his joker, jumla, or feku images to float. But what is true about Modi is that he admires Lohia and understands India
Modi govt has taken many hard steps and faced many difficult situations during the last four years. We have been opposing it from the very beginning on various counts but the overall picture at present doesn't warrant any harsh criticism. The govt needs a second term for results.
Difference between you and @vakibs is that you have read Sri Aurobindo. So, we expect more critical scrutiny from you than mere pleading or glorifying the past. Considering the human species as a whole instead of the Hindu block is also important. Thanks. https://t.co/S6ePjSqQdo

A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
