Modalities of social action need to be examined against present constraints

[Hi Tusar Nath, We've received your review of, "Philosophy of Life: through the lens of Contemporary Indian Philosophers," by Mousumi Das. Thanks for taking the time to review. Best, Academia Letters team]

A nice overview of various facets of philosophy of life from the perspective of various schools of thought. It's also an accessible introduction for those who are not much aware of the thought currents of modern India. Thus, the paper has its own utility of offering much in brevity.

Sri Aurobindo's insights, however, are conspicuous by their absence although no cogent reason for his exclusion is apparent. Secondly, how the dreams of the philosophers mentioned will be fulfilled hasn't received any treatment. Modalities of social action need to be examined against present constraints and told candidly. For the task is how to implement what's in theory. But then this is clearly outside the scope of the paper. The author however may remember this aspect for the benefit of the reader. 

Worth reading and ruminating over.
