The peerless @SalmanRushdie on the need for a literature that builds from the “rubble of truth” https://t.co/uP551QD3Jm
Rushdie is also one of the great essayists and thinkers of our times. A lovely little essay here https://t.co/uP551QD3Jm

"The breakdown in the old agreements about reality is now the most significant reality, and the world can perhaps best be explained in terms of conflicting and often incompatible narratives," @SalmanRushdie writes.  https://t.co/QEYXJt8mDO

Salman Rushdie at his absolute best. Do yourself a favour and read this piece. “The truth is that truth has always been a contested idea.” https://t.co/ip7QMJI1d0
“We need to recognize that any society’s idea of truth is always the product of an argument, & we nd to get better at winning that argument. Democracy is not polite. Its often a shouting match in a public square. We nd to be involved in the argument...to hv any chance of winning it”

KP..hope your appreciation of Mr Rushdie is absolute, unequivocal & not selective. The current fashion amng politicised & blindly partisan journalist is to wear multiple hat as per pol. convience & opportunity. Today the narrative is always  built around pro & anti Modi / BJP.

How to identify "Institutions of Excellence" and nurture world-class universities in India: my column in @IndianExpress :

If there’s a key difference between the Left and the Right, it’s clearly the naïveté almost tending to stupidity that’s characteristic of RW. It comes in many hues like..
#BlissfullyIgnorantRW #ApartmentSocietyLeader Has not built or sold anything significant. His own wife and kids give him shit on a daily basis. But, believes that all good policy reforms should be done instantly like Maggi noodles. King without a crown or balls.
#BlissfullyIgnorantRW #MustListenToAllRW Will subscribe to all views and won’t oppose anything. Since it could hurt somebody's feelings and then what if they don't let me write for their newspaper or invite me to their parties? Monkeybalance Level 100.

Abhinavagupta's Conception of Humor (full text):

Economic history of Veda times. Tracing seafaring merchants of 5th millennium BCE Ancient Tin Route from AFE to ANE using Indus Script Corpora  https://t.co/kF36UWEoXd

Khāravela conquers Bhāratavasa (ca. 150 BCE), a nation named after bharata, a wealthy alloy, magnetite metalwork celebrated in Indus Script Corpora https://t.co/M6IsY9xP0Q

This ~2200 years old inscription at Udaygiri hills contains the earliest recorded mention of word Bharatvarsha (as Prakritized - Bharadhvasa). 
It was commissioned by Maharaja Kharavela Mahameghvahana of Kalinga and refers to his expeditions throughout Bharat. 1/n https://t.co/vYAQFDMRwc
Interestingly Inscription starts with Jain Namokar Mantra "Namo Arihantanam...Namo sava sidhhanam"! proclaiming Jaina faith of Kharavela - An orthodox Jain monarch embarking on extensive military conquests throughout country itself puts questionmark to some widely held notions.
But most importantly it puts question mark on widely propagated leftist rhetoric that there was no concept of Bharatvarsha as entity before 1947 and if any idea it remained limited only to the "Brahminical" literary texts with no practical implication!

Some notes about the Jain Namokar Mantra https://t.co/NitAYs5jDX

Unfortunately the great Odia book 'Kharavela' by Dr.N.C.Panda is not yet translated into English. This book gives  deeper look into Kharavela's life and history.

Indian women have been PMs, CMs, RMs, EAMs, scaled mount Everest, sailed the seven seas, captained plane and ships. But true empowerment is when they can mastrubate onscreen.

I’ve never encountered such a hateful/jealous group like BTC maximalists. They will do anything to disparage others or any project that competes w/ BTC. They are misogynistic, ridicule people who help others, they troll constantly & have THE most toxic community in all of crypto.

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