A must read by all Indians. Read how history was deliberately distorted to suit the narrative of the Nehru and Gandhi family. An eye opener for sure. Interesting biography of Veer Savarkar...... @vikramsampath https://t.co/VMMDoCYGeo

#GunIsland #AmitavGhosh #climatechange I read Gun Island in 24 hours. And it is spooky how the amazon forest burning seems to be straight out of this book. I liked the occult dimension of this neatly woven story.

Gender is a social construct. Sex is a social construct. Biology is a social construct... I'm beginning to see a pattern here. In this bizarre ideology, what *isn't* considered a social construct?

I am amused to see anxious Khan Market types heap praise on the ‘gentler’ Vajpayee-Advani era of the BJP. In the 1990s, this lot didn’t even want to be in the same room as those of us who were pro-temple. Those who claim victimhood today were part of that secularist lynch mob.

The #UPA pigs had declared Rama as mythical and then went for an agitation when the BJP government gave Bharat Ratnas to ABV and MM Malviya both born on 25th Dec.

Hindus have maintained through the centuries that Ram Setu was built by Rama. Don't need validation from Abrahamic nuts or their local progeny. Just #STFU. https://t.co/jLo2SBlYlG

Expecting justice for Hindus, specially Hindu women, in an Islamic Republic is like animals expecting compassion in a butchery. Be safe.

So true. Why did Indian industry so proudly sell Indian techies as labor while US firms got the benefit of owning the products? Microsoft as an example has market cap of $1 trillion using Indian brains. https://t.co/GclJOtPKs6

This is the depth to which India has fallen that Islamic republic of Pakistan can indeed give us lessons in secularism. And communist China can indeed give us plenty of lessons in allowing democratic protests and maintaining rule of law.

This month we are talking about pleasure, bodies, sexual violence against children and many of their intersection. 
To create a safe and pleasure-positive environment for children we need to give the right and age-appropriate information.

the obsession of the @swapan55 types with people they claim are 'inconsequential' stems from this truth - no amount of power changes the fact they were intellectually shallow then, are intellectually shallow now. they can try and silence this claim, but it rings within them. https://t.co/QsK9YEnYwF

Chandrachud is an ignorant colonial dhimmi. Never mind that his logic is all flawed. He is using philosophical concepts for ritualistic worship and congregation. By his logic, Allah is formless so Muslims shouldn't need any mosques at all. Media should ridicule such dimwits.

This duffer should be removed from judiciary altogether. He isn't qualified to sit in the chair. Only after he goes through a full course on Indian culture, values, way of life, philosophy, literature for 4 years, he can be made a district Court judge. https://t.co/DfjPSfUH1J

No amount of Prime Minister's speech from the ramparts of Lal Quila can remove rampant rural poverty and deprivation. Sovereignty to the States is the only way to ensure last mile Democracy and Development. Parliament must abolish Central govt to turn itself to #BharataFederation

Years ago googling for Dharmic support 2 gay rights, came across an article by @devduttmyth ; loved it. Should have left at that. Unfortunate I started reading him and found that the guy is pretentious, mostly peddles ignorance for perspective with an eye on market.

A familiar cycle. One starts with Tapas-hard work, talent, sincerity. Then deviates; seeks ego-boosts. And goes the Asuric way. Asuras have boons-strong ones. But only those who are Dharmic, even lacking the Asuric boons, have Arul. The @devduttmyth fall-a caution for us all.

I respect you both. Each person has his chosen intellectual trajectory, spiritual destiny, and Evolutionary assignment. Truth is a severely contested domain in the 21st century due to uncertainty of science and it's a catch 22 situation. So, let not there be bar on perspectives.

I had this thought during my recent visit to India. The inner heart of most Indian villages are polluted today, because motorized transport runs right in the middle.
Imagine we make this central road as pedestrian only, allowing only bicycles and carts drawn by oxen. https://t.co/QGvRShyJMe
https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/1167340371187314688?s=19
When we thus ban motorized transport on the central road in a village, we will reclaim the space for village life and banter. I am lucky to have grown up in a village when such things still existed. Now that is barely seen due to the cars and motorbikes blaring through the road.

Transhumanist technologies can enable shortcuts to the various destinations of natural evolution. How will humanity be altered? Ganesh Chakravarthi @craynonymous explores how humans have started adopting such technologies in this essay.

Modernity came to India unfortunately through colonisation rather than national choice - which explains why decolonisation takes the form of a hopeless atavism rather than the growth of a native discourse of modernity.

+ This: "The free-market dream of being liberated from government authority, once an article of faith for the billionaire class, has turned into the oligarchs’ dream of coopting, or even usurping, government authority in pursuit of profit."
