@KirtivardhanD @dikgaj Reading Sri Aurobindo's delineations on evolution of society and ethics, many myths and prejudices can be got over.

Those deriding Liberalism and Secularism are enemies of Modernity and Plurality. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo provide us futuristic paradigms.

Misgivings on Science are to dispelled by more of science and not falling back upon, Mythology, Astrology, Rituals, or unverified Ayurveda.

Forget EVMs. Govt can't even enquire into a simple land encroachment dispute hanging fire for the last two years. https://t.co/uRiDr731Un
@Stupidosaur What about this claim? https://t.co/9cVmet9dDR

Some amount of hostility between people of different political persuasions is understandable but in India it turns hardcore religious hatred

Today, I learnt of 1) Single event upset (SEU), and 2) Neuronal microtubules. So much to know but power of understanding and memory are puny

A basic problem in India is that those at the helm of affairs tend to paint a rosy picture instead of spelling out the hurdles & bottlenecks

Handful of hardcore Hindutva handles keep on fulminating against Modi. But responsible voices with critical stance on Modi must spring forth

Power brings moderation and within next couple of years BJP supporters are likely to be singing praise for Gandhi and Nehru's Statesmanship.

Was surprised while watching Chetna that a doctor refused request for MTP. Checked Wikipedia: The MTP Act came into effect from 1 April 1972

Though socially abhorrent, many accomplished actors end up with playing the role of a prostitute and many acclaimed films have this theme!

A deeper look at literature and culture brings into focus how socially undesirable subjects are made mainstream with disastrous consequences

It's an irony that while Culture is extolled to be refining emotions, it has the potential of causing the opposite just as Mythology retards

Tolerance for Modi may be on the rise but Degree imbroglio coupled with Smriti Irani as HRD Minister will continue to tarnish his credibility

Being ecstatic about Modi as PM can be idiotic unless he delivers and surpasses his predecessors. Otherwise, it'd be another wasted decade.

If thousands of years of Hindu Civilisation plus the recent technological revolution throw a leader like Modi, it's disappointing phenomenon

Instead of thanking Mayawati for gifting them landslide victory in UP BJP fans are elevating Modi-Shah to illogical heights forgetting Bihar

Zeitgeist trajectories are a bit complex sans ethical duress. RSS occupying centre stage after a century of its formation is a harsh irony.

Kshatriya spirit displayed by BJP in Goa and Manipur recently is like rewriting the Mythological tenets expounded by Bhishma or Vishvamitra!

Isha is the only Upanishad that is part of the Veda and Sri Aurobindo has written on it extensively signifying the zenith of Indian Wisdom.

There is a widespread, delusional notion that listening to chanting of Sanskrit hymns in the morning can transport one directly to heaven!

Dalit resistance to the Veda is misplaced since Sri Aurobindo encompasses it within his Ontological formulations by displacing from Rituals.

Religious festivals, Rituals, pilgrimages, and Mythology are easy avenues for reaping political dividends by BJP but Sri Aurobindo bypasses.

Contrary to what so many are hoping, I don't think the new CM can bring any substantial change to UP unless the State is given Sovereignty.

Recent election results prove how the States of India think differently and choose independently. Granting Sovereignty to them is fait accompli

There is no reason why the Central Govt should exist at all. The States must be endowed with full autonomy for decentralised decision making

@k_bhairav Each State will exercise its Sovereignty and certain functions can be delegated to a Federation/Mutual negotiation modelled on EU

Historical data overwhelms and status quo applies inertia of motion on Evolution. Yet, a new world order may emerge and States will be free.

If UP results lead to banning of EVMs ultimately, then India's journey back towards Ram Rajya would seem to have begun. Rule Patanjali rule!

Dictatorial mode of Modi doesn't bode well for Democracy. And, RSS must endeavour to shed its Fascist objectives and Kafkaesque functioning.

Nobody has demanded that UP MLAs should elect their leader through a transparent process by each indicating three preferences in the ballot.

BJP supporters accuse that a Hindu who has not voted for BJP is anti-national. This sort of fascist mentality is against Democratic freedom.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have done enough spadework for annihilation of dominant religions ruling the world. Join this silent revolution.

Forcing cultural purity will lead BJP to Dalit status

For obvious reasons, Evolutionary tendencies will touch only a minority but Democracy privileges majority. So, a time lag is understandable.

A double role is involved here: to conceal one’s personal admiration and devotion while continuing to wield the critical tone in public.

India being an abnormally large nation turns most of the people marginalised and spawns alienation. Spirituality can force course correction

Sri Aurobindo says, a strict bifurcation between religion and secular activities is impossible since no action is separate from Evolution.

Twitter tussles between political opponents provide ample adolescent's joy but grappling with Ontological causes of injustice is more urgent

Democracy, Development, and Governance are aspirational concepts without any firm mechanism for delivery. Evolution is the ultimate arbiter

Sri Aurobindo believed that Evolution is not arbitrary and conforms to the Vedic aim of Harmony. Those fighting on Twitter better hear him.

Hindutva plank is bound to undergo considerable dilution responding to electoral compulsion and also for avoiding a Congress-like extinction

Hindutva rhetoric is out of fashion in mainstream BJP concerns at present and those voicing are half-a-dozen marginalised Twitter handles.

Still a mystery, why Modi reserved his showmanship towards the last leg of UP elections. He doesn't want BJP CMs anywhere, is my firm theory

No matter who wins in UP, all brands of political ideology during the last one hundred years have proved barren. India needs Sri Aurobindo.

Sri Aurobindo shifts focus from what Marx, Freud, and Darwin manufactured and advises against worshipping false gods or fighting false wars.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo's action are an ongoing phenomenon to be conscious of which is a challenge and a privilege. "All life is Yoga."

Marxist emphasis on visible change has its own validity and advantage but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have laid foundations of a luminous Age

Examining Sri Aurobindo's philosophy from historical perspective has merit but his insistence on Supramental enforcing change more plausible

Though overall Ontology of Sri Aurobindo retains validity, his hope that people by volition can transform their nature stands slender chance

No dearth of expository books and essays on relevance of Sri Aurobindo but a critical examination from the Devotees' perspective still rare.

A double role is involved here: to conceal one’s personal admiration and devotion while continuing to wield the critical tone in public.

BJP has successfully appropriated nationalist politics which other parties will have to redefine and reclaim, observes @_YogendraYadav on TV

@_YogendraYadav The simplest alternative is to follow Sri Aurobindo and oppose BJP armed with a liberal version of Nationalism and Modernity

@Retributions Nitish Kumar heading a national party with everyone else joining is the only viable alternative. @_YogendraYadav should push.

Two frail men with robust minds occupy opposite sides of Indian politics. @_YogendraYadav and @MakrandParanspe can bridge ideological chasm.

UP being released from caste-centric politics is certainly a happy situation. BJP diluting its Hindutva in future is also a welcome prospect

Admirable sober election coverage by @rajshri_rai at @apnnewsindia channel without much shouting and too many panelists crowding the studio.

So much idle speculations on TV but it's strange why simple facts are not highlighted. Vote shares give real picture https://t.co/XvWvghS8K2

BJP moving to the Congress space will trigger hardliners rooting for a more Fundamentalist party and moderates rallying round genuine Dharma

Amar Singh is right. Ram Gopal Yadav is also responsible for breaking opposition unity by turning down overtures of Mamata and Nitish Kumar.

UP results would have been drastically different in the event of bipolar contests. BSP in a way has gifted victory to Modi; closet alliance.

Now that Modi is everything and his popularity is projected to be highest, his credibility is lowest as his functioning lacks transparency.

After this, no one will accuse AAP as the B-team of BJP which contests Elections only to benefit the A-team. Still, I'm not sure! @skjain_05

@skjain_05 Exactly, that's a question no one asks. But, AAP is steadily making headways in Odisha where it is likely to harm BJP up front.

People are euphoric about saffron sweeping UP but fail to notice how much Lohia has been injected into Modi following footsteps of Deendayal

Today, the founder of @Rswabhiman is not part of BJP but it would be appropriate not to forget its original propounder of social engineering

@DasBolshevik That's obvious. So, while every one is clamouring Mandal is dead, it's actually, Long live Mandal. And two cheers for VP Singh

After a gap of certain years people are given the opportunity to elect a new Govt. It doesn't mean legitimacy for each and every damn policy

Congress is fast turning into a Civil Society organisation sans any electoral stake. Such an apex body is also in the interests of Democracy

Defeats are beneficial for political parties; sympathy grows and funds flow. AAP and BSP are in conducive positions to milk their drubbing.

This constant whining against Upper Castes by the Dalits is irritating; that seems to be an end in itself instead of forging wise alliances.

@abhijitmajumder @sourabh1972 RSS has been spreading its organisational network since 1925. Better to give credit honestly where it is due.

PM and President of the ruling party hailing from same State is an affront to the Federal spirit of Indian Constitution. Remedy is urgent.

We are all beneficiaries of cumulative Developmental activities during Delhi Sultanate, Mughal empire, and British rule. So, why denigrate?

@SandeepLaw Just a general statement to remind people of positive aspects who keep on denouncing past atrocities, destruction of temples etc

@SandeepLaw The story of Development in India is long and complex. Land settlement, irrigation, cottage industries, trade and commerce, etc.

@SandeepLaw Surely, truth is simple but at times the mind becomes clouded. Please, reread both my tweets and you won't find anything amiss.

@SandeepLaw The thrust of my first tweet is on Development, the Economy and not much on Culture. "Civilisation," of course, conflates both.

@SandeepLaw Nothing to disagree with what you say. But economic development is a continuous process and every period of history contributed.

@JAYANTH40830762 @Mohansinha Justice K. S. Hegde also hailed from Karnataka. And, we remember him even today.

Nothing wrong in gloating over UP win but Hindu consolidation means another prospect of "Two Nation." Btw, SP fight with BSP benefited BJP.

Also applicable to Parties & leaders. [The Chandrasekhar Limit is 1.4 times the mass of the sun; a star that exceeds is destined to explode]

High principles of Democracy are trampled upon when Ministers become bonded labourers by swallowing own conscience and thinking independence

Dalit issue is all about lack of education and BJP forcing cultural purity and linguistic exclusivity will lead to Dalit status before long.

Many BJP supporters are well read and Tech/Management expert but never reveal their intellectual debt to the West which is selective amnesia

There is no better authority on Vedic wisdom than Sri Aurobindo but he was forthright in pointing out the best of West Indians must acquire.

China and Japan may be models of Development today but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo point out why India stands out among the comity of Nations

Mythology and Religious festivals foster repetition and spoil creativity. Lack of scientific temper in the country is a result of this malady

Spectacles and carnivals have their social and psychological utility but Vedic paradigm entails adventure of consciousness in deep recesses.

Election campaigns valorise Road shows & mobilising crowd like Religion. Sri Aurobindo stressed silent psychological elevation and Evolution

It's a travesty of Democracy that 220m people voted since February 11 but could not elect a Chief Minister till today, i.e., March 13, 2017.

Manoj Das and not @Swamy39 is more grounded in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy and global vision. He should be ideal candidate for next President

@Devarya As Sri Aurobindo believed that All life is Yoga one may treat politics and its revolutions very much as part of the evolving Spirit

@Devarya You are right. That is precisely the reason why spirituality needs to be imported into politics to transform it and turn it perfect

@Devarya In his August 14, 1947 broadcast, Sri Aurobindo sets out a gradual, five-stage process to that ideal destination. No royal highway!

@alok_bhatt @digvijaya_28 Autocorrect would have made it two words, I suppose.

@DasBolshevik What is the alternative that you propose, apart from theoretical ideal situations?

@DasBolshevik No take on defence and internal security. Mutual dignity has been introduced as a normative but I don't think it's sustainable

@cpings4 Not in terms of legalities but culturally and language wise, they are definitely separate nations like the European nations.

@cpings4 You are right. People of India should be given freedom to choose the boundaries of their own sovereign nations with local flavour.

@cpings4 Present reality may not last long and overpopulation will force India to break into 40 to 50 nations with 50m population as maximum

@Birajmohandas @AgentSaffron @cpings4 Each language is a nation and accepting this reality of India is the most demanding aspect at present.

@cpings4 Sri Aurobindo advocated a World Union of free nations. Thus, a Federation of 50 Indian Nations can be a stepping stone towards it.

@Shakra_Kulish @cpings4 @AgentSaffron Thanks for deciphering something unique about me which I feel is a quest for Harmony & @IntegralUnity

@cpings4 Sri Aurobindo acted as per demands of time. Population has grown fourfold since then and so India may break https://t.co/VMzLz4Rd3K

@cpings4 Fine. I'm not claiming I'm right but am convinced that linguistic nationality is a huge undercurrent waiting to explode any moment.

@cpings4 You may be right but I don't agree with your perception that there is some intrinsic virtue in India being a single large nation.

@cpings4 Future Indian Federation of 50 nations will also preserve the Indian wisdom and express it exponentially in the international arena

@cpings4 Every society is upholding some form of human values and I don't think only Indians have monopoly over it. Global vision essential.

Indians will really be empowered and attain their full potential when the Central Govt is abolished and the States become Sovereign nations.

@k_bhairav Federal structure is a possible scenario. What happens thereafter is not easy to predict. Besides, Nature avoids mere repetition.

@cpings4 @k_bhairav Status quo imparts a feeling of safety but my sense is that smaller nations will be more vibrant, cohesive & competitive

@profabanerjee My feeling is that the Central Govt. is a bottleneck and linguistic Nations will be more vibrant, cohesive, and competitive.

With 18℅ of World population, India needs to be divided at least into 18 new nations for administrative efficiency and last mile Democracy.

Caste and Religion are dominant factors in UP election. There is no escape from this situation in foreseeable future unless State is split.

[Comparing Federal Structures: India, US] @MillenniumPost Garga Chatterjee https://t.co/zYMQGbSfRn

Democracy negotiating diversity and navigating through difference is perhaps an exemplary situation but raises questions about suitability.

Struggle for power will never allow fair play in politics but Democracy has that aspirational element built into it and Judiciary keeps watch

Sensing public mood is the most important aspect of Democracy and Elections are one of the tools for that. Imposing one's will is fascist.

It's amazing, why BJP doesn't encourage the straight and decent path to counter Leftist agenda instead of employing hooliganism by students?

Leftist future vision is as distorted as their history narrative. But BJP myopia and Hindutva slant makes them look virtuous in comparison.

Select BJP supporters have started feeling uncomfortable on certain fronts. Not enough; Hindutva needs to be dropped lock, stock, and barrel.

To whomsoever it may concern: This is to certify that we have been advising BJP for better sense to prevail since 2011 sans any remuneration

Supporting Congress, BJP, AAP, or the Left parties is a straight and clear indication of working against the National interest. Bitter truth

There is a difference between Left parties and Leftist scholarship. Neglecting Critical Theory or postmodernism is intellectual harakiri.

Twitter has helped people from all professions to metamorphose into political commentators which is good for Democracy but humility lacking.

Compulsion of political parties for keeping Advocates, TV Anchors, Newspaper Editors, Professors, and Psephologists in their rolls is costly

Spinning narratives out of isolated events is common in history writing but a misleading feature. Filter needed for right vision of future.

Many on Twitter are in business and have the image of being honest. This is difficult to accept unless donation is not treated as corruption

Like AIT, it's difficult for me to assess criticism against Aadhaar or EVMs due to inadequate technical knowledge. Why others are confused?

Apex level political discourse on Twitter always finding an alibi for veering towards a female member proves Freud right day in and day out.

Thankfully, what goes on on Twitter has little relevance to real world. People are single-mindedly busy with their own affair and transport.

Savitri Era: Futility of various religions and rituals https://t.co/onUD41YS4T #SriAurobindo

Reading "Ama Odia Chalachitrara Itihasa: 1936 - 2016" by Parikshit Jena from Sabitri Gita Prakashani, Bhubaneswar; 372 pages. @OdiaCulture

My elder brother passed away yesterday. Death remains the most crucial question mark vis-à-vis human existence or all pursuit of excellence.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/836235003189161986

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have been the most serious explorers to grapple with "conquering Death" but nothing tangible has surfaced so far.

All political discourse or Developmental activities pale in significance before the humongous issue of Death and Sri Aurobindo is insistent.

@Gayatri__J @SuryaNishtala All are under the spell of confusion in the absence of any firm future vision. Sri Aurobindo is a beacon of light

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo were never interested in reforming various religions; they simply had no confidence in them at all. Caveat emptor

@harigiri941 @PanchaVaktra It would be an error to restrict Sri Aurobindo to his Uttarpara utterance and equate Santana Dharma with Hinduism

If Religion A has survived without any reference to or assistance from Religion B, it proves futility and obsolescence of both the Religions

Worshipping false Gods fascinates people. So, rationality demands that superstitions imposed by tradition and culture are dispensed with.

Can you think of the sheer beauty of a full moon without the association of this festival or that relating to some Religion or its founder?

Go to any scenic place and it is so disappointing that all the prime locations are occupied by installations by some Religion or the other.

Those building career out of Mythology and Rituals are free to do so. Ordinary individuals bear the responsibility for insulating themselves

Protecting school-going children from the tyranny of Mythological Fiction and Religious Rituals is a paramount duty of parents and teachers.

Unlike political Parties in a Democracy, Religions don't enjoy the privilege of a superior validity if followed by a larger number of people

Fictions abound from Religious sources and every person has the right and responsibility to scrutinise them by applying ordinary prudence.

BJP is building its ecosystem steadily but it can never secure legitimacy for Hindutva. Modernity will triumph over Mythology, ultimately.

@profabanerjee Hindutva as an aggressive political ideology was not so prevalent during Sri Aurobindo's time. So my tasks are a bit sterner.

What one learns when young as enjoyable and beautiful due to family influence may not retain the same charm in the years next. No illiteracy

@PanchaVaktra @harigiri941 Perceptions evolve over time. Keeping Sri Aurobindo at a distance from immediate political situations might help.

Nothing more absurd than Modi supporters hallucinating of him as harbinger of harmony and glory in the county as per Sri Aurobindo's vision.

@harigiri941 @PanchaVaktra @OhWhyC @RAJ_KUMAR_VERMA It's 1907. Btw supporters' inflated expectations from Modi is at fault and being exposed

@OhWhyC @harigiri941 @PanchaVaktra @RAJ_KUMAR_VERMA Mandate for PM is a tightrope walking in which Modi has performed reasonably well so far

@PanchaVaktra @harigiri941 @OhWhyC @RAJ_KUMAR_VERMA Hawkish Hindu-centric demands are difficult to fulfill for any PM and Modi acts clever.

@OhWhyC @harigiri941 @PanchaVaktra @RAJ_KUMAR_VERMA On Education and History front, I agree. But books should be written by scholars, not PM

@PanchaVaktra @OhWhyC @harigiri941 @RAJ_KUMAR_VERMA The names you mention will disagree on many issues. There are deeper problems if opened.

@Retributions Novelty factor of 2014 can't be repeated by Modi but Dalit and Middle Class Congress votes migrating to BJP is a reality now.

@SandeepLaw @maidros78 @Indialover2013 @sarkar_swati Certain compulsions emerge when one is in power. Hope, you retain your liberal voice.

BJP, despite its Nationalist stance, is more attuned to Regional differences than Congress and won't ride roughshod over States' sentiments.

Odisha is least affected by Hindutva and Congress decline is the sole reason of BJP gaining. Pundits better refrain from complex analyses!

All ABVP bashing notwithstanding, as long as the Govt doesn't exhibit any sign of throttling protest avenues, it can't be accused as fascist

ABVP surgical strike at Ramjas has been able to strategically hijack the Seminar theme and widen it to interrogate diverse memes and norms.

@kazhugan Not to get carried away by negative outpourings and posit something for objective assessment of the situation was my suggestion.

RSS strives to surreptitiously usurp various functions demarcated for State and dictate things from behind without assuming responsibility.

Congress rule was like undergoing MBA course for the people. BJP and Regional parties are like facing ground realities when one lands a job.

Modi is going through electioneering rituals mechanically; he isn't interested in ruling the States. He loves CMs of other parties under him

@_SwarajIndia @_YogendraYadav That's not enough for a political party to be successful. An icon like Sri Aurobindo is needed @MakrandParanspe

@AgentSaffron @jaganniwas It's paradoxical that staunch Sita Ram Goel admirers fight among themselves and there is no consensus on issues.

Many BJP supporters expected career opportunities by spreading hate but now it seems they have come around to shedding hope, thanks to Modi.

Let there be no confusion that the Modi-Jaitley combine has provided the country a reasonably satisfactory Democratic atmosphere so far.

As hawks among the Hindutva camp are feeling restless and are mounting scorn on Modi, it seems necessary to judge Govt./Jaitley objectively.

Right voices should matter in a Democracy without being subservient to any Party or discredited leader. That is the sign of People's power.

Many Hindutva supporters recommend Sri Aurobindo without reading his books themselves. They refuse to amend their flawed impression of him.

Followers of Vivekananda mention Sri Aurobindo's name at times without realising that irreconcilable contradictions exist between the two.

Compared to UPA regime present Govt is far more Democratic, transparent, and participatory. Modi's foreign trips are not secret like Sonia's

Arun Jaitley deserves praise for navigating present Govt. to adhere to Constitutional values. The role of Ram Madhav, perhaps, is laudable.

Those mocking Rahul G. as campaigning for BJP should understand that Modi-Jaitley are zealously driving BJP towards the Congress destination.
