By breaking its alliance with PDP, the BJP will “lose a state but win a nation.”

#BeAware A lot of #CCP publicity (not all) about China developing high end strategic technology is propaganda. When it’s exposed they blame it on individual corruption (not systemic failure & corruption) ! https://t.co/iaswdmjBjv
Ideological absolutists like to contrast the burdensome and sclerotic public sector with its go-getting private rival but China’s entrepreneurial state has lessons for the West https://t.co/fwTN71CtVD

There will flatterers in your group and the free loaders, the cool dudes and the badasses, the nice guys and the party animals, oh and a #Vidur. Identify your Vidur. Respect your Vidur.
Who is your Vidur? https://t.co/GbNv3wg6Zz
The steady decline that Indian civilization witnessed over the last many centuries is definitely due to lack of cohesion, an absence of unity of purpose, a dissipation of shared grand ambitions. https://t.co/H4wjsJnbNv https://t.co/Up0xIoXCvC
Yes, those are the other, as big threats. Now consider this, China is the biggest investor in several cutting edge technologies, including AI and quantum based technologies. Also in energy. It's investment in science and tech dwarfs US's in several key areas.
Several people express such apprehensions about China but I don't agree. They follow their own ethics and don't have colonial ambitions. Even their commerce shouldn't be seen as inimical. Development anywhere on the globe ultimately benefits everyone. So no reason to live in fear
Each country is free to do what China is doing. They have many advantages now but the biggest threat can come from welling up of regional self-determination. It will split sooner or later. If you read Sri Aurobindo's Human Cycle the logic will become clear. But I know you won't!
They have the money and invest. But will they takeover Govt of all big nations? That's improbable. Even overthrowing current Banking bosses is not that easy. Besides, Western block has many advantages which China can't dream of. Anyway, too much of pondering over macro pointless!
These are all conjectures and the Chinese have their own compulsions not to undertake any misadventure. Further, there are international checks. When we are discussing a solution to regional aspirations, it should be confronted head on without hijacking it over the Chinese threat
Regional aspirations have many regional and geopolitical threats,which u are either are not aware of ,or would choose to downplay.anyway sir I still have respect and regards for ur knowledge&wisdom.&I choose to discontinue here on this topic _/\_
No, this isn't the 20th century anymore. The game has now changed. They will just do enough to tilt control to favor their own people. Just enough to control the levers to their own adavntage.
And thank you for a civilized debate. I wish there were more people like you on twitter.
Just because the current models are bad, we cannot dismiss them trivially. Until we build an alternative model, the current model will stand, despite its limitations. This is how science works. In this sense, Dr. Elst is right. Please be aware of this very valid criticism.
We don't say "Nakta" for night anymore, but it's a Sanskrit word. It originated in India.
@bennedose It's ok to question the dogma of historical linguistics, but we need to build an alternative model. Please see my comment at the end of Dr. Elst's essay:
On Twitter space allows only for trivial dismissal. Real rebuttals take place outside. However disagreement with current faulty models MUST be put on record as the rationale for working on new models. In fact linguists have ignored available evidence. Watch this space....
I find that the worlds top linguists including one named earlier hide behind the lame "you represent hindutva" excuse when they find their decrepit constructs under threat.
In fact linguistics uses no scientific method or model to validate its conclusions and shows no inkling of using anything more than the nearest convenient conclusion to make up hypotheses later listed as fact. Linguists do not differentiate between hypothesis & fact.
Pseudo-science is an accurate way to describe Linguistics. Its not all fake. There are rules of language-similarity that everyone can understand.
But Linguistics is at the level of 18th century alchemy. It lacks rigor. Linguists don't admit it & lie brazenly. Cc @Koenraad_Elst https://t.co/1uv4w0C8Dr
Not at all. Voltaire and Kant already thought European culture came from India. This when local identities were stronger than today. Moreover, a flaky psychical identity problem is nothing compared to the tangible separatisms which threaten India & make use of the AIT. https://t.co/XVe92AbC7T
I stay in Belgium, have no India plans. Last month I had to cancel a planned trip to Oxford because I had no money for the 4 hours' train ride. So, let alone India. https://t.co/cnnFG7HsCY

This dishonest Phlegming is not telling you that there is a revival of interest in the "PIE Homeland" debate among the rabidly racist Euro-identitarians like his not so good self & also among the alt right. This Yavana has a suitably devious Jesuitical mind.
Vedanta is in the form of words and words have to be heard/read, understood and made sense of and hence Vedas tell us that this knowledge cannot be gained on one’s own and needs a guru https://t.co/bmXYmyrq8k #Hinduism #dharma
Yama began his teaching by distinguishing between preya, "what is pleasant", and shreya, "what is beneficial." Yama's teaching also notably included the Ratha Kalpana - parable of the chariot. https://t.co/K9lEZil3hJ

The missing link might be Odisha: 1. Pali or Palli is close to Odia 2. Buddha is believed to have been born in Odisha by many 3. Kharavela was a Jain emperor 4. A vibrant maritime trade with South East Asia. Many such facets need to be investigated for clarity on its centrality.
Mythology and legends twist one's sense of history and distort perception of the present. Movies and novels similarly warp social realities leading to a skewed understanding of their solutions. A lot of theory rely upon fiction; so inferences should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Many dedicated handles are tweeting on sculpture and museums. Some others focus on old texts. All these cater to intellectual and aesthetic needs but restricting Hindutva to past glory is hardly useful. How it can invigorate the present and galvanise the future should be the task.
I have already expressed the view that we must support any attempt by BJP and RSS to occupy the mainstream space by eschewing Hindutva fanaticism. Modi govt should get a second term to fulfil its promises as its record during the last four years has been reasonable. @shantprakash

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