Relation between authority and social compromise is complex

[If you want to read one book on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, read this! - June 19, 2014 - Georges Van Vrekhem's book on the life of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is one of the most well written accounts] https://t.co/amVdcadmIY

BJP IT cell mouthpiece, OpIndia blames me for predicting 2months back about Modi's plan for a major confrontation with Pakistan just before the election. This prediction is not rocket science if you carefully follow Modi's politics. Modi is so predictable! https://t.co/fDj3asJXeu

Haren Pandya knew who organized Godhra carnage. He was assassinated by contract killing by a process known as cut-out murder. There was a chain of contracters who passed down the order to the last assailant. The originator likely 56" could not be traced by cutting off the links.

A thoughtful, sober piece. Anger and emotion must give way to a cold, clinical, rational thinking. National interest, not bravado, must be our guide. https://t.co/qEwvoX5yNW

Who's my master? Among my 'masters' are my mother, Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Mahasveta Debi, Satyajit Ray, Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, and Badal Sircar. Glad to be devoted and loyal to all of them :-) https://t.co/CXfyF5a6qo

Was Gandhi a strategist in his approach to caste?

It is important to understand the dynamics of intermediate castes in its specific context to explain the current moment of its mobilisation, militancy, and political positioning.

Emmanuel Macron seemed to represent change from the mediocre political class that has ruled France for 30 years, and hope that France may embrace market-based reform. Today the hope is on life support, and the change has yet to be seen. [Sounds familiar.] https://t.co/ssLFvpXnff

89. There were not only two Mills, James (1773-1836) and John Stuart, father and son, but two Mills in John Stuart himself!

145. But only that their genius lay in working out in practice the relation between authority and social compromise.

146. A relation which they perceived to be entirely of a complex kind which could not be formulated in theoretical principles of a philosophical nature.

Elegant political economy ruled the country side away from the cities.  A political authority could extract revenue only by increasing productivity.  Else the peasants vanished in the bush rather than pay!  Even in Babur’s time. https://t.co/4HzBWErphr

Love this India. A modern Christian couple in the yard of a madrassa, from Alauddin Khilji’s time, right beyond a cluster of Hindu, vegetarian restaurants. Not to ignore, the romantic, Georgette Heyer setting. This is the India to cherish. Sad to disrupt this with hate mongering. https://t.co/camx2eIGX9

The greatest weakness of Indian electoral politics, as practised within the Westminster model adopted at independence, is the reward it offers for the politics of exclusion.

The US, with its reliance on Pakistan for cutting a final deal with Afghan Taliban, cannot afford to side with India. Indeed, Trump administration’s “agreement in principle” with Taliban, by emboldening the Pakistan military establishment, likely contributed to the Pulwama attack

RSS is an organization for, by and of traitors. The traitor produced by RSS lectures Indian citizens on their duties while abdicating his own. Hindu Keralite Vishnu Dev Radhakrishnan is rotting in a Saudi jail while this traitor will send his MEA to OIC. Shame! Shame! https://t.co/6eJopEMxba

Religions or texts don't spawn hatred on their own; they are like a matchbox. When a person or a group use certain concepts or tenets to mobilise people, then the potentiality increases and the energy is directed either in a positive manner or negatively. So, self-interest rules.
