So RSS-BJP writers authored ~1% of all columns in 3 national newspapers. What’s the point of this article? The data goes against the basic hypothesis!
To those who have enjoyed a monopoly for so long, even the semblance of competition looks like an impossible imposition
(My rough calculation suggests around 3% but Shamika’s point more than stands)
Bhajipao pata nahi kitne litfest karva rahi hai. Every alternate week there is one. Secularist have only one in Jaipur but it hogs more limelight and attention than all Bhajipao fest combined.
Replying to
Loathing of Leftists aside, the fact is all too real that they are privy to human condition, can be empathetic & driven & atleast make you think. What Bhajipao has is a bunch of grifters who groan about leftist hegemony & their own lack of narrative, whilst debating nothing else
Replying to
No frame of their own. No disruptive line of thinking against dominant western paradigms. Some are good speakers, but overall they are average brains, so average outcome.
People in Plato’s cave must be real dumb if they can’t tell they’re just looking at shadows
Replying to
Yeah, and Aesop was an idiot for portraying foxes wanting to eat grapes and people wasting away from being captivated by their reflections in water.
Replying to
Entire philosophical edifice built on bad eyesight.
Replying to
And equally 'dumb' if they imagine that the "real world" is outside the cave, rather than just a much more persuasive simulation; the simulation - the acting out of fictions and fantasies/escape from the traumatic Real - that is quotidian reality itself.

Sam Harris, after utilizing his moral calculus, carries out the most murderous act yet, killing Spinoza, Jordan Peterson, Bakunin and Foucault with a bomb
What’s the most embarrassing book you’ve had on your bookshelf? Mine is probably “The Moral Landscape” by Sam Harris.
‘Mahavira, (…), surpassed the morality of the Bible with a single sentence: “Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being.” Imagine how different our world might be if the Bible contained this as its central precept.’
Sam Harris writes in “Letter to a Christian Nation.”
“If you think that it would be impossible to improve upon Ten Commandments as a statement of morality, you really owe it to yourself to read some other scriptures.. we need look no further than the Jains.. Jain fundamentalism would endanger no one.”
Sam Harris.

History must be taught as it happened. That at least must be the aim even if what happened can never be fully agreed upon. Motive at least must not be impact on current political narratives. Satyamev Jayate. Let the chips fall where they may. Truth will triumph eventually anyway.
Amid a scandal over widespread sexual harrasment at #Kalakshetra in Chennai reports that the institution famous for Tamil Nadu's Bharatanatyam has been substantially captured by Kathakali and faculty from Kerala that altered the character of the institution.
