As President of Sarvjan Sanatan Party, @MNageswarRaoIPS seems be diluting his old, Hindu hardline image. While that is welcome, Savitri Era Party (2007) maintains that without expressly adhering to Sri Aurobindo's evolutionary vision, such well-meaning ventures are bound to fail.

Gramsci designed the march. Burnham told us who would be waiting at the end of it. A class that owns nothing, answers to no voter, pays for none of its mistakes, and runs almost everything.
6. In 1964 he wrote Suicide of the West. Its verdict: liberalism – the modern progressive kind, not the classical one – is "the ideology of Western suicide." It lets a civilization accept its own retreat and feel good about it. Every loss becomes a sign of progress. Sixty years later, it reads like a description of Brussels.

Over the years, Gramsci's writing was polished by critics with such diverse allegiances that it ended up becoming a mirror: one opens his books only to confirm one's own beliefs. jacobinlat.com/2026/06/los-fa…
Antonio Gramsci became a reference thinker for nearly everyone: liberals, social democrats, populists, and Marxists all find something of their own in his notebooks. That malleability is precisely what can depoliticize him. jacobinlat.com/2026/06/los-fa…

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance... To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple." Arundhati Roy on the deepest measure of success: mailchi.mp/themarginalian…

I respectfully disagree and this is a very myopic reading of Arundhati Roy. I have read everything she has ever written. And I find her oeuvre to be incredibly profound. Take for example, her 1998 essay, End of Imagination. It begins as a straightforward critique of nuclear test and proliferation, but very soon becomes a stunning meditation on the self, nationalism, climate, and our human species. I can go on and on about each of her work.

An educated and healthy citizenry is a nation’s ultimate asset. True empowerment begins when a government prioritises education and healthcare as its primary, non-negotiable investments. These are not merely social safety nets. They are the architectural pillars that enable individuals to stand independently and transform from passive participants into dynamic wealth creators who drive national prosperity.

When Chekhov was asked what the nature of failing societies was, he replied:
"In failing societies, there is a thousand fools for every enlightened mind, and a thousand crude words for every conscious word. The majority always remains ignorant, and the reasonable man is constantly defeated. If you see trivial topics dominating discussions in a society, and fools taking center stage, then you are in the presence of a very failing society.
For example, songs and meaningless lyrics find millions of people to dance to them and repeat them, and the singer becomes famous, known, and loved. To the point that people take his opinion on matters of society and life.
As for writers and authors, no one knows them and no one gives them value or weight. Most people love futility and anesthesia. Someone who anesthetizes us to distance us from our thoughts, and someone who makes us laugh with trivialities, is better than someone who wakes us to reality and hurts us by telling the truth. That is why democracy is not suitable for ignorant societies, because it is the ignorant majority who will decide your fate." The Literary World.

Conscious beings such as ravens, dolphins and human beings stand in sharp contrast to mere things. They are something over and above their body and brain. bit.ly/4yx4dzd Join philosopher Martine Nida-Rümelin as she argues for her distinctive subject-body dualism, which is not obscurantist but a demand for intellectual honesty.
