Justice: Rights and Wrongs by Nicholas Wolterstorff
He demonstrates that the idea of natural rights originated neither in the Enlightenment nor in the individualistic philosophy of the late Middle Ages, but was already employed by the canon lawyers of the twelfth century. He traces our intuitions about rights and justice back even further, to Hebrew and Christian scriptures.

Indians swear by Secularism a concept ie alien to Indian ethos and originated in Europe. In Europe it meant separation of Church and State. But yeah the concept of Church does not exist in India’ https://t.co/uJOe6XHVE0

Good article, except populism isn't opposed go democracy. Populism is the logical outcome of democracy, the absorbing equilibrium of democratic politics. If you hate populism, why would you love democracy? https://t.co/0T2vqtJbrX

#4YearsofModi: Even Modi’s opponents secretly concede that one of his biggest assets is his ‘outsider’ tag, which he has managed to retain even four years after moving to Delhi to assume office, writes PR Ramesh https://t.co/wtbdp61cuq https://t.co/OvkNVvNmLG
As Modi gives a push to infrastructure such as roads, railways, freight corridors, ports, airports, telecom network, infotech systems, toilets and more, he has attempted to provide an almost equal impetus to social sector schemes, writes Amita Shah https://t.co/JRkyFoZdDW https://t.co/PeiSXgSN1E
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

In an open letter, Savio Rodrigues slams Delhi Archbishop who appealed to ‘pray for new govt in 2019’
The statement reads that prayer is to be held for 'defeating evil forces (read Modi), defeating satanic forces (read Hinduism) and defeating pagan forces (read Hinduism again)'. This is a hate speech against the majority community
Hate Modi or BJP. You have the right to. But think twice before painting Congress in pure gold. Don't forget massive scams in their time, where spectrum, coal and even games weren't spared. Citizens have to make a choice during elections, but then must keep all parties accountable
Every single time the BJP gobarmint brazenly steals our money, ass kissers like Arvind Virmani, Gurcharan Das, Sunil Alagh, Surjit Bhalla & more solemnly inform us that it’s an economic reform. Like we’re that stupid!
My hypothesis that Liberal intellectuals enable the greatest crimes when they place blinkers on the public eye, is proved time and again. Also the thesis that media is the most corrupt institution today. https://t.co/9jAxrKMnpC
The main guy responsible for WW2 wasn't Adolf Hitler. It was Neville Chamberlain, a bleeding heart Liberal who blindfolded his own allies and the world with his orgy in Munich. Dear Liberals, blame yourselves for the backlash.
