The simultaneously inventive and destructive movement of deconstruction discloses something about wisdom, about the way things really are, about the basic orientation around which philosophy takes place. But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Read more of this post Sam Mickey | June 1, 2018

Sri Aurobindo’s Bande Mataram exhorting our politicians to eschew their propensity for head in sand..pitch perfect even a hundred years later..I worry for how much Bharath has not changed.. https://t.co/PCiq1mAiPG

Sri Aurobindo considered todays caste rigidity as 'Un-Hindu' in spirit. He argued that Varna system was productive once, but we would fail as a Democracy if we don't get rid of this caste rigidity.

Unless Indian right-wing drops social orthodoxy & pseudo-science, it will never be the ruling formation.

Maharaj, just wondering if calling oneself Dalit due to his birth social orthodoxy or not?

I think that social orthodoxy particularly, is what's going to cost us - alienating our own people based on birth, and the "women need to be covered and demure" narrative needs to be discarded pronto.

Unlike "revealed traditions", #Hinduism encourages a process of self-discovery, there is no monopoly on knowledge. We #Indians need to educate ourselves to #ReclaimTheNarrative from anti-Hindu politicians, media and intellectuals:

Plastic surgery, planes: why must the soaring imagination of ancient Indian literature be shrunk to journalism? https://t.co/F85mfhp4Kt via @scroll_in

Do India's think tanks and strategists bother to track such tectonic shifts in the technology-kurukshetra and world power? Or simply in denial & obsessed with elections, bollywood & cricket? https://t.co/J1CPPRRcwb

Veere di Wedding: What Swara Bhasker's character failed to understand about sex. While it is great that mainstream Bollywood movies have begun talking about female sexual desires, such a ridiculous depiction of one of the safest forms of sexual pleasures does more damage than good. 
Diksha Madhok @dikshamadhok

Those films are targeted to a particular audience mainly youth and adults. And veere di wedding has crossed all the boundaries. India is certainly not ready for the scenes shown in this movie. Certain population may be liberal minded as Swara bhaskar and you but not all.

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