Hindutva will take us nowhere

Beyond the Mind Principle: Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of Spiritual Evolution
M Dutta - Proceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy, 2018
Though not a conscious philosopher, yet Sri Aurobindo's contribution to world philosophy can hardly be over-estimated. His invaluable gift to posterity has been to show humankind the way to rise to higher levels of consciousness. For he was a …

Domain of Inappositeness of Ethics in Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy
P Shukla - Proceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy, 2018
Evidently, while reading The Life Divine along with Sri Aurobindo's other writings on yoga and several scriptures of Āgamic/Tantric origin, one may discern that there can be yet another more comprehensive universe of discourse—referring to the domain …

Bharat Mata is also Yoga Mata and regards human culture as a movement towards Yoga and the evolution of consciousness, such as Sri Aurobindo so eloquently proclaimed. My examination @IndiaFactsOrg https://t.co/wcNIQNBQMt

2) Congress and its founder Britisher, A.O.Hume -- Real nationalist leaders like Sri Aurobindo or Tilak were side-lined by ‘Moderate’ Congress’. Today, the British succeeded in implanting an eternal love of the ‘White’ in the Congress, witness the sycophancy around Sonia Gandhi.
Sonia Gandhi continues to be a danger to Hindus, because if by some freak chance Modi loses in 2019, as Vajpayee did before him, Sonia will again become the empress of India.

Chetan Bhagats comment is reflective of the servility & faithlessness of India's English-indoctrinated Hindu elite. For them giving up Hinduism i.e. Indian culture is an acceptable sacrifice for placating hostiles. Sri Aurobindo had seen this coming in 1940s & warned against it.

Upper caste liberals refuse to acknowledge that militant Hinduism is nothing but Brahminism on steroids | 
@h_tejas on the #Cobrapost sting https://t.co/jVtZ5RSPnq

Caste-Religion arithmetic does not weaken India but strengthens it. Assertion of identity and interests is legitimate, and better than assertions of Savarna Hindu superiority masquerading as national interest. Coalitions, even rickety ones, keep authoritarian instincts in check

Brilliant piece by Krishna Sir... the best today by a mile!!! Why the BJP's 'Stability' Brand Being Marketed by the Elite is Hollow https://t.co/tRquAmvcX8 via @thewire_in

As and when today's opposition forms a government, the plethora of claimants of the bounty would spread it thin. The BJP’s reluctance to be radical is to blame for pushing the country once again into the hands of these shady characters.

I have more respect for the most kattar Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian fanatics than I do for the Chetan Bhagat, Suhel Seth, Veer Dehejia types, and Bollywood’s spineless gym bullies. At least the former lot stick to their convictions and don’t U-turn because of shifts in govt

My whole Twitter tl is flooding with curses on bjp for their deficit of Hindutva target. Just like my boss howls at me on target completion failure outside Twitter ,voters are least bothered about Hindutva.the vast majority of India votes based on local micro issues .
1991 is long gone,and Indian electorate is slowly but surely moving on from the religion based voting trend. agri,health,medicine supply,irrigation,msme,environmental wealth+reserve shld be the focus in coming decades.honestly these will matter,hindutva will take us nowhere .

Read how deeply Urduised Bollywood-Hindi and BJP-RSS campaign is. Not surprised, current Hindi is hugely Urduized and BJP is the Hindi Hindu Hindustan party  https://t.co/HLeAXNyKQY

Brilliant assessment of modi's governance or mis-governance 

Keep the discourse sharply focused on real problems faced by farmers and SMEs.  Avoid dubious distractions.  Get a few ideas on how you can address these issues if you win.  Keep your agenda positive, simple, focussed.  You can win.

"NOTHING scientists can say can abolish the FEAR that activists have seeded across the world."
BRILLIANT piece by @manujosephsan that our decision-makers will ignore. As the Navajo saying goes, you can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Whole world is not Christian but we are Hindus and abortion has always been regarded worst sin from Vedic times. If foetus is not living being,why so much outrage for " female foeticide"? Sad to see Hindus justifying killing only to get carnal pleasure. https://t.co/Sf7KRrmayj

Most abortions take place before 20 weeks, the foetus isn't a human then, nor it can feel pain. Don't mey your feelings and religious bias come in the way of your science. Whole world is not christian.

When an elder in your family says “women should get vibrators and adopt children. We don’t need men”
I completely agree with them and no. It is disrespectful to behave that way or even think of behaving that way with an elder.

One of my great aunts had said something similar 20 yrs ago

If the role of the other gender is reduced to functionality rather than companionship then weighing of cost vs benefit is bound to happen.
Women of that generation mercilessly show their Ugra roopam after the man retires. Grandmom used to say man without warning is a defangs cobra. Something is amazing as well as annoying about that attitude.

Read a new essay by @Nadia_Fadil in our forum on "Sex, secularism, and 'femonationalism.'" She discusses the "entanglements between the 'saving' and 'taming' discourses" around Muslim women in Europe. https://t.co/ThlIf75bLq

Deeply disturbing that a hindu woman can become such a mad rootless deracinated witch to get her son killed over her affair with a Muslim man. Sharing this with great grief, sickening to the gut https://t.co/hSVJMVQygt
Look at the stark contrast. I hv no words left to express anguish. We need to really stop trading between political correctness n religion, somewhere that has harmed a lot. There may b needs, understandable, there may b situations, find least harmful options?!

It's not about religion. Once a woman gets obsessed with a man's penis, she loses her sense of right and wrong. Men are actually less obsessive and move on. https://t.co/bMVgieWj3s

In this absorbing tale by @MisraNityanand, we see how the Saptarṣi escape the clutches of Yātudhānī(sorceress) by revealing the meaning of their names to her in an esoteric language. https://t.co/XHF8U3pj2V

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
