Derrida inspires deeper engagement with words, literature and culture. I don't consider him a philosopher as much as a thinker, in the best sense of the word.

Next up is Markus Gabriel's newest book "Sense, Nonsense, and Subjectivity". 

Probably the most extensive treatment of subjectivity in the "New Realist" tradition (at least since Gabriel's "The Meaning of Thought"). 

Let's see how it goes.

Saw the Hindukush/Pamirs! Reminded me of how the Aryans crossed them on their way to India in 1500 BCE. Here they found the most fascinating substance mentioned in the Rig Veda, watch here (youtu.be/EpR9FAcsReM) to know what!

I got really lucky that the plane dipped just as we were flying over the Hindukush/Pamirs. Quite a sight!! Can't believe this journey of the Aryans is something that the RW in India is ashamed of and wants to deny despite incredible evidence, here (youtu.be/EpR9FAcsReM)

Why is the RW in India ashamed of its amazing history? Discuss (15 marks)

Aryan migration is a fact, dodo! Here's genetic proof, read the full paper here (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…)

Yoga-Vedanta is the way to understand the secrets of the Self-aware universe within us, not any scientific theory, religious belief or political ideology. Awaken to your Inner Being and you can transcend time and space, name, form and number to the Self of all.

Hindutva aks Hinduism aka Sanatana Dharma is a universal religion even though it originated in India. Savarkar's attempt at defining who is a Hindu by anchoring it to India (Pitrubhumi, Punyabhumi) has the danger of particularising the universal Hindu religion to a territory... 

God has not created religion, nor is he/she/it unconcerned about your religion. In fact, he/she/it is not even concerned with you at all. It is people's quest to know: who they are, where have they come from, who has sent them, why are they here, where will they go, etc. Over aeons people have compiled their life experiences and explorations into these unknowables which have come down to us as body of knowledge. That body of knowledge about unknown in essence is about Hindu and all other evolved religions. As a result of their preoccupation with truth seeking, people of evolved religions have no binaries, have no injunctions to be followed under pain of punishment, no conversions, and no anything. Hindus and all others following evolved religions live and let live whatever you follow or don't follow them. And it is these peace loving evolved religions which are annihilatory attack by the intolerant established religions.
