There should to be some distinction between your own ideas and those of past authors. So mentioning their names will help in easy grasping of concepts. Further, Sri Aurobindo has written extensively on these topics which may be referred to or contrasted with wherever necessary.
Sure. I mention inspirations and influences invariably. But in this particular thread, it was mostly my own views, though the conflict between Progress and Diversity was suggested off-hand in an interview I heard recently with Harvey Mansfield, the Harvard Political Philosopher

Slang is used because our minds have been conditioned to feel shame about our sexual body parts, by the manipulators behind our big religions. 2/
Shame and guilt have corrupted the whole area of sex. Where it should be natural and fun, even transcendent, it is loaded with preconceived rubbish, spoon fed now by the whole culture, even when one is not explicitly raised in a church atmosphere. 3/
more than mirrors, others eyes and words complimenting people even if they themselves consider themselves ugly looking, is more precious to all - across the gender-board.
Dharma is not law. Dharma is much larger and wider concept than that. There is no possible way laws can change the society because self-restraint only works if it comes from within. Enforcing self-restraint never works and never will.
The thinking that laws can replace imparting Sanskaras, individual dedication to Dharma etc itself is Adharmic to an extent & leads to extreme levels of idiocy like we see in fascism or communism. How exactly are you going to adjudicate leering w/o resorting to nutty 5 sec rules?
Islamic laws are respected even by Indian Penal Code and Twitter. Dharma is disrespected because Hindu smritis were taken to be "laws" and then mocked without understanding that they were laws only for their era. Our forbears have screwed us and now we don't know what law means

“Liberals” ought to be ashamed that it is the “Hindu nationalist” BJP that is fighting social evils in Indian Islam, and not they themselves. Effectively, they are standing on the same side as retrograde ulema and reactionary elements.
Didn't you read that atrocious New York Times piece that argued that 'freedom of expression' only reinforced present power relations and served the elite? 🙂
He has made idiotic statements and this is rather in line with other such idiocy exhibited by the H leadership in the domain of knowledge: the BJP banker's anti-AITism along with a whole cohort of such; the support for astrology in earlier iterations, shrI Dobhal's knowledge of

Modern India is beholden to a host of Westerners who have discovered countless facets of its history and literature. Their religious or political predilections might have been responsible for some slant or distortion, still they deserve respect and engagement. Krishnaprem is one.
India is so vast and varied that discourse on multiple levels go on but freedom and courage is missing for full-throated airing of opinions. Restraint imposed by tradition and culture thwarts individualism and people plough safe. Ontological uncertainty also subverts confidence.
In his enthusiasm as a scholar, Ashis Nandy has done immense damage to Sri Aurobindo. A whole generation got prejudiced; ignored Sri Aurobindo. Nandy has never shown that he has actually read some important works of #SriAurobindo but he can make some amends for the injustice done
In the last two years of his life, Sri Aurobindo wrote eight essays which are extremely significant. Dilipkumar Roy argued over Perfection of the Body. [From the Bulletin of Physical Education (1949-1950): The Supramental Manifestation upon Earth: Message] https://t.co/iT1C1JtWht

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
- Sri Aurobindo (SAVITRI)
