Modernity, in fact, entered with the Europeans and Nehru, no doubt, nurtured it with all his might. He, however, had no means of delivering people from the clutches of religious obscurantism the effect of which we witness today. That task had been ably performed by Sri Aurobindo.

#pebblegarden #auroville is a pilgrimage site for #organic #farmers across #India 30yrs. Deepika kundoji's work on traditional seeds conservation won her the #NariPuraskar in 2017. Part of this farm is reallocated as construction material storage site now @Devinder_Sharma... late Nammalvar, considered as father of Organic farming in TN often acknowledged Bernard as his Guru! This ill conceived act by ATDC needs to be condemned. It is not merely destroying a learning space in Auroville for all of India, but, also an organic farming sacred space for the world.

It's amusing how far those removed from the #Auroville resident list will go asking @MEAIndia to initiate action on public officers for doing their duties! I request @PMOIndia to stop succumbing to 'foreign entities', let law & ethics prevail @rajbhavan_tn @avfoundation @AmitShah

I was invited to take part in the 5th Tamilnadu Young Thinkers meet btw November 3- 5, had insightful discussions and the exchange of ideas truly left a lasting impact on me. Moreover, the experience of learning in Auroville, the land of spirituality and the very essence of enriched nationalism where Mahan Aurobindo Ghosh lived, was truly inspiring and thought-provoking.

The British East India Co also built its largest facilities worldwide in India. Stupid Indian elites/rajahs were made to feel proud even then. The difference in China’s aspiration is that its strategy in bringing US companies was to digest US tech & then supersede the US w its own products. India FAILED to do that in software or anything else, being content as mere labor. Indian elites became proud middlemen & filled their own pockets. Shameful for the land of the Rishis. @anandmahindra

The garbage, sheepish culture of India is demeaning. It breaks children and confuses them, making their thinking cloudy. It makes them very vulnerable. They do not know what is right and what is wrong. Indian upbringing positions you to be a loser, a sheep.
