The BJP/RSS has plagued Auroville, Unarmed Aurovillian’s beaten up, Foreigners threatened to be deported if they come in the way of “development” countess tress cut, you must intervene or this diversity of culture & nurture will be soon history. Journalists wake up.
We have many experiences of #Auroville The place is intriguing and mysterious. There is definitely an insider outsider bias. This article helps understands this futuristic settlement a little better.

Auroville city plan for 50, 000 approved by the Mother became a prisoner of West-inspired eco- fundamentalism in the years following the Mother's death. It is high time to rescue it as otherwise the realization of Auroville city may be delayed by decades if not centuries.
This is disgrace to Auroville foundation officials when Aurovillian women arw being molested/ manhandled during Auroville foundation demolitions drive where local panchayat gundas were used #saveAuroville #Auroville against Auroville resident
Resident of Auroville are asking to resident assembly to convene before the Auroville foundation removes the forest, the foundation official (in the screen) is refusing for Resident assembly which is only power the #Auroville residents have.
This is a video of yesterday’s event in Auroville. We know there is respite for a week but this is what Auroville residents are facing. Auroville foundation is still at helm, #Auroville #SaveAuroville
More videos are emerging of violence sponsored by #Auroville foundation officials who are in videos where goons and local panchayat leaders are used by Auroville foundation to rough up residents living in
youtube.com/watch?v=1iHODT Address by the Secretary of the Auroville Foundation to the Golden Chain Fraternity members, who came yesterday to Auroville to show support and offer expertise to the development of Auroville City as per the vision of the Mother. #auroville
"We are not opposing the plan, but the way it is being implemented. Brute force should not be used. We are shaken because the recent events contradict our peaceful way of living," said a resident of #Auroville to .
Youth Centre, the only vocational programme for young people in #Auroville, a learning space for so many over the years, has been reduced to rubble amidst violence towards community members. Beyond devastated.
A sudden destruction. No prior information. Is this progress? To bring violence into #auroville A recent road project that runs through a forest and 2 buildings, was violently enforced while the alternatives were still being considered. #justice #violenceinauroville
Did they hire thugs? To bring #violence into #auroville — a place of harmony and built with love. A recent road project that runs through a forest and 2 buildings, was violently enforced while the alternatives were still being considered. #violenceinauroville
Auroville is Kashmir in South India - Impermeable to law, sense, ethics. Is this liberal International Fake Media Outcry is more important than the legacy of Sri Aurobindo? Law or Integral Yoga? Facts or Crocodile Teary videos?
Huge donations are received in the name of #Auroville, in clear violations of the Foundation Act, invested in mutual funds, personal resorts, without permission of the Governing Board, GOI nor the Resident Assembly. #FakeSosAuroville

Advance Legal Actions might help. Also am thinking ..top officials who have just come to power in #Auroville have come there for a 'divine' reason. Probably its time for them to get Divine enlightenment into their career marred by controversial decisions from their past. #EMIT
Very evident from the silence of the top officials. From what I hear, they are getting a list of #aurovillians ready. Soon they can expect themselves to be deported from the same #Auroville they passionately built & contributed to! Vicious Games of #EGO #Powerplay #EMIT
Replying to
A well written news article. The highlight being that the #Auroville Foundation sending a statement to #media houses not to cover the ongoing incidents inside Auroville. Next plan is probably to expell / deport the agitating #aurovillians giving some reason or the other. #EMIT
Replying to and
In retrospect, letters & voice of Mother will helpDown pointing backhand index Increasing population of #Auroville will cause imbalances in existent fragile nature. 'Vision' of Mother is not a "tagline" to push the Mission of Actions speak louder than words. #EMIT
The ongoing protests at #Auroville, an experimental township bordering Tamil Nadu and #Puducherry, against the felling of trees to build a ring road seems like the dawn of a long struggle for its residents. 2/n
Trouble brewing in tranquil town of Auroville and it's not just over felling trees - The Federal thefederal.com/states/south/p 1/n
A big thanks to the Golden Chain Fraternity members who came today to show their support for the project of Auroville. Let us build Her city together! #Auroville #aurovillecrownroad #cityofthefuture #themother #SriAurobindo
So true, especially when people take the name of the Mother n Sri Aurobindo to encroach on the Mother's property n keep them as their own in the name of environment protection! Face with tears of joy Yes Truth is Truth !
Replying to
A conflict between the progressives and those who want to block progress. This time the progressives will win. Time has come to follow the instructions of the Mother to complete her projects.
Most were people who joined Auroville as residents with due application and approval of the Mother till early 1973. Afterward, newcomers were allowed for a few years by Sri Aurobindo Society and then by Auroville residents through a group or committee.
Yes, and also this is the first time that the new Governing Board with the Governor of Tamil Nadu as its Chairman and a Tamil lady Secretary from IAS who respects Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's teachings are quite determined to develop the city so that more people can join.

Grow up child. Foreigners are also in support of Masterplan. Take your idiotic antics somewhere else and do some research.
No one was beaten up and stop dissing the Police of Tamilnadu. They kept their cool. Now tell me what would happen if you do this in France? Before you say I am RSS, know that family knows . Do some research.
#FakeSosAuroville. Wake up India and know the truth behind the fake protests & all the facilities our Government gives to these people in Auroville to be above law and country. Are they so divine against other Indians that they can have their way with anything?
#FakeSosAuroville Do we live in a country where we give them everything & need to beg them to stop protests? This is a public officer trying to do his duties, stopped by the mob. Isn't this a shame?
An insidious woke infiltration under way in Auroville...for long but spilling slowly into mainstream. Each of these don't have a clue how big a hole they are digging for themselves, yogically speaking...materially they might have influence but oh boy are they screw*d inwardly!
"Better to Have Gone: Love, Death, and the Quest for Utopia in Auroville" by Akash Kapur reviewed in
As a regular visitor I have see the high handedness of those who atay at Auroville. How they treat the locals is what has led to this. Though I must add they took over a barren land and made it what it is today.
Auroville shouldn't be a site of chaos, anarchy, or long protests. It's under Govt control and systems have to be respected. However, Savitri Era Party has been demanding grant of Democracy and local govt to Auroville. Takeover has to be reversed and refunded to rightful owners.
It's unfortunate that Auroville Foundation forgot about Prime Minister eating crow on the farmers' issue and embarked upon a dictatorial ego trip. Where is the consulation process? Public should have been informed of the complications involved and possible fallout of resistance.
We have repeated time and again that neither RSS nor the Congress is capable of realising the dreams of Sri Aurobindo. Both Socialists and the Communists too follow flawed ideologies. Savitri Era Party has to build itself from the scratch for fulfilment of this appointed goal.
