But there is also another aspect to this particular issue. The Hindu's silence is killing him everywhere. I am personally all in favor of vocal Hindus anywhere & in any form, even tweets. Even Sri Aurobindo for eg. openly lent his voice during critical junctures like WW2 & Cripps
Even in "retirement", Sri Aurobindo was more active than any man alive! Even in his outer activities where other Sadhaks were involved in assisting, when they wud want to call it a day & he wud keep going. In his inward action of course there is no telling where to draw the line.

Inner Silence is meant only for those leading spiritual life-which is more than doing basic yogic practices daily. Others, who misunderstand this Silence for apathy from world affairs when they themselves r deep in sensual pleasures, r only fools. Agree fully with you.

Right from 2013 we have been telling that Modi is not the right PM candidate and a vast country like India deserves a better qualified one. So nothing much is expected of him than vacating the chair in 2024. Those discovering his betrayal must check their own intellectual calibre
We sensed moderation in the approach of Modi govt and extended support. Apart from people like Jaitley or RSS, Reliance may be responsible for the middle path. Hindutva and Dynasty are aberrations and must be thrown away. Following Sri Aurobindo therefore is the most sensible way
Each religion is a bundle of superstition and people have no option than to carry forward that burden. They are fighting with each other without having any hand in creation of the religions. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have clearly said about the end of the reign of all religions.
Reading has become a prominent avenue of riding the intellectual or aesthetic vehicle but language barriers are a reality. A vast population however manage their affairs without reading anything and many vocations don't need any rendevous with the alphabets. Visuals are to rule.
