Nehruvian camp can never appreciate Sri Aurobindo as their prejudice is deep rooted. Hindutva bandwagon is equally apprehensive of his eminence and sidelines him. It's for the people to read his books to understand his greatness, firsthand, instead of depending upon endorsements.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1144189881972752384?s=19

Why I haven't read Sri Aurobindo's philosophy so far? Each educated Indian must put this question to himself. He is key to understand the 20th century thought currents surrounding Marx, Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud, Bergson, James, Jaspers, et al apart from Vedic theory of Evolution.

https://twitter.com/SavitriEraParty/status/1144193168436387845?s=19

The name of Sri Aurobindo is often mentioned in "one of the greatest" lists. This is one of the most ambiguous and deceptive modes of describing him which in effect undermines his status. Make no mistake about it, Sri Aurobindo is the greatest Indian as well as in the whole world.

Even after successive spiritual experiences, Sri Aurobindo chose the intellectual route to spread his synthetic knowledge and Integral vision. No single text can impart that and the right course perhaps is to rummage through one hundred primary volumes with a childlike curiosity.

You have a point here..terminology is very sci-fi though 🤓 there is a method of conquest that starts from within, this is approach of the Rishi. Evolution is because something consented to be Involuted. The Inconscient hides the Supreme too. The Rock of the Veda, Dark Mother.

From this Ocean, arises the brooding dreaming sub-conscient, then the physical, then vital life and then thinking mind...layer on layer issues out. The Rishi rises upward and digs within too..read A God’s Labour by Master and you will get a hint of the formidable effort involved

To film reviewers asking for a film to be evaluated on it's cinematic merits, and not on it's content, will you say the same for Leni Riefenstahl? Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy are not only deeply problematic. They're devoid of a moral, redemptive core so essential to good art.

Kerala has 'great' female gender indices but toxic masculinity is still present in popular culture/everyday life. Many feminists have written how rape scenes were so common in mainstream cinema there. Again, no paradox. Gender indices do not capture intensity of patriarchy. https://t.co/Z25Rdx2hpV

https://twitter.com/varunpatilbeng1/status/1142357844605280256?s=19

Social indices may not tell the full story as many feminists from Kerala ( like J Devika, Anna Vetticad ) have written about the (toxic) masculinity portrayed and lauded in Malayali films. If literature is a mirror to society then films certainly are too, no?

Also I think that Hindi film makers, coming from the anglophone elite as they do, are more sensitive to criticism from the english speaking elite and their values. This may have lead Hindi films to have adopted a more corrective course in the last decade especially

Remember recently reading this review of a Mamootty film by @annavetticad and the toxic masculinity in it that was lauded by the viewers https://t.co/YdJuZ2JOid

Here's a paradox: Arjun Reddy is released in Telugu, no outrage. It's a big hit. Remade in Hindi, BAM! A torrent of takes on its skewed gender portrayal, mostly in English. 

However, the Telegu speaking regions score way higher on gender indices than Hindi belt. What gives?

Social indices don't capture social prejudices in society but essays and articles do? I am also a writer and I wish you were correct but this is just hubris

Thanks to @shankasur, I just read this piece on caste as a British colonial invention. Of postcolonialism theory's many pernicious lies, this is the worst. Let me break it down. 1/16

https://t.co/eRmT5FfVo3

https://twitter.com/achakrava/status/1141945588482625536?s=19

Anybody who reads a line of pre-colonial bhakti poetry, for example, knows that the caste as both varna ideology and material oppression existed long before any Europeans showed up on our shores. A famous Tukaram abhang reads 4/16

Postcolonial theory allows upper-caste intellectuals to maintain privilege in both India and the US. The Indian educational systems whose benefits disproportionately accrue to the upper castes allowed these intellectuals to make the transition to the west. 10/16

So, please, for the love of god, stop publishing this pernicious casteist theory in all its forms. Stop teaching it or citing it, unless it is to dismantle it. In the current context of Modi's India, it is unconscionable to traffic in such garbage. 14/16

I have no gyaan to share other than to say that while we are constrained to find ways to stay alive, clothed and sheltered 

- we need to think harder against privatising the commons 

- our personal choices do not make as big of a difference as the political and policy choices

- the political choices present leadership is making are obsessively driven by efficiency & profit maximising which will not help us in climate and water crisis because some of us will perish sooner than others

- and their blood will be on our hands.
