Propagandists are afraid of Sri Aurobindo

[The Anatomy of an Internet Hindu from Centre Right India by Jaideep Prabhu - Jul 14, 2012 In defence of Hinduism…historically

Although the internet is a modernising factor, it should be noted that the defence of Hinduism is the locus of some of the earliest opposition to foreign rule. Figures like Vishnubawa Brahmachari and Arumuga Navalar challenged Western missionaries on their disrespectful and inaccurate portrayal of Hinduism. The notion that IHs are hijacking the nation is buncombe. There is a tradition of seeing India as a culturally Hindu majority nation, as Subramanian Swamy said on Al Jazeera. There is a tradition from Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Vallabhbhai Patel, to C. Rajagopalachari. While the last two may have disagreed with the vehemence of the first four, none denied India’s history. Admittedly, the IH Samaj may have lost some of the intellectual brilliance since, but that hardly diminishes its right to be in the national debate.]

[During his lifetime Herbert Spencer achieved tremendous authority, mainly in English-speaking academia… Spencer had achieved an unparalleled popularity, as the sheer volume of his sales indicate. He was probably the first, and possibly the only, philosopher in history to sell over a million copies of his works during his own lifetime… Spencer's influence among leaders of thought was also immense, though it was most often expressed in terms of their reaction to, and repudiation of, his ideas. As his American follower John Fiske observed, Spencer's ideas were to be found "running like the weft through all the warp" of Victorian thought…

Savarkar writes in his Inside the Enemy Camp, about reading all of Spencer's works, of his great interest in them, of their translation into Marathi, and their influence on the likes of Tilak and Agarkar, and the affectionate sobriquet given to him inMaharashtra – Harbhat Pendse. From Wikipedia]

It’s not only the secularists who carefully excise any reference to Sri Aurobindo. They are everywhere. In a way, it proves that how propagandists of all hues are afraid of the free-spirit Sri Aurobindo espouses. Bastille Day, by the way. [TNM55]

The number kills

Of many criticisms of Sri Aurobindo, his portrayal of various events and persons in a creative fashion is the most obvious. The general complain is his broad stokes of historical narrative often shows up wide gaps in contour upon close scrutiny. Nevertheless, his overall theoretical thrust and future vision has been appreciated and accepted by a galaxy of critical observers.  

When Sri Aurobindo carries us from near to far into the unknown vista of the future, insisting on mapping the lanes and by lanes is, understandably, absurd. Even in his ontological speculations also, Sri Aurobindo avoids any rigid Dantesque framework or definite numbers. This in keeping with his theory of multiple truths dovetailing or telescoping into each other depending upon the sweep of the horizon. [TNM55]

Individual is the engine of economy

[3h - krishnarjun @krishnarjun108 - @SavitriEraParty what’s your main theoretical disagreements sir in the light of Aurobindo's ideas for Indian economy?  http://krishnarjun108.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/guj …- View media] 

Sri Aurobindo, TIlak, Gandhi differ widely in their conception of Swadeshi as an economic philosophy. Circumstances obtaining at the time of the freedom movement have changed drastically and hence reviving the old slogans is not free from hazards. For example, past arrangements like Panchayats and other local bodies may or may not be a desirable feature at present. Further, the notion that the economy can be “directed” or “managed” is itself a faulty worldview.

Individual is the engine of economy. If freedom and rule of law is available to him he turns an entrepreneur, builds networks, and creates wealth. The same is happening all over India now, obviously, with varying degrees. It will continue to be like that. Prosperity comes through people but Govt. tries to take credit. Thus, the Gujarat case study is more on the side of partisan publicity than any substantial growth paradigm strategy. (Views expressed are those of Savitri Era Party and not necessarily made “in the light of Sri Aurobindo's ideas”) [TNM55]  

Organisation and control is the political aspect that is supposed to ensure the goal of freedom and common good. Panchayat is not a natural organization but a duly elected political unit operating at the micro level and equally vulnerable to being monopolized. Besides, politics itself is a game of charisma and maneuvering.

As regards city-states and their rural hinterland, geography and demography will dictate these dynamics. Their mutual symbiosis has many potential ruptures in the Indian context like languages, castes, and eating habits. So, India Shining is still a viable proposition. There is no escape, however, from cyclical downturns and Satyam-like vagaries. [TNM55]
