Political Hinduism and Vishwa Guru

 Collated by Tusar Nath Mohapatra

Modern Western thought is greatly indebted to Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) occupies almost an equivalent position in India. Nietzsche rakes up philosophical and psychological problems while #SriAurobindo solves them in The Life Divine and The Future Poetry.

One of the most important contemporary questions at the intersection of civilization & politics is the question of political Hinduism and its various contours.

@HindolSengupta's book 'Soul and Sword' attempts to provide a history of the movement & capture its narrative identity.

EU funded project destroyed by callous new planning team

This forest plantation went through rigorous planning process in Auroville. Indigenous, slow-growing evergreen tree species, such as the ebony in the video, are now being ripped out of the ground by bulldozers. What a devastating loss for Auroville, Tamil Nadu, and India. These trees deserve utmost respect and consideration! Why is the Auroville Foundation secretary, Jayanti Ravi, ordering the destruction of Tamil Nadu's precious forest ecosystems in Auroville? For over 50 years these lands have been nurtured into thriving forests by persons dedicated to the longevity of the Auroville project and the health of the land. It takes only thirty minutes for a bulldozer to push it all down.
