The unbearable lightness of being a language-hypocrite
What amazes me about the ongoing “language war” between TN and the Centre is the canard about policy “imposition” … It makes me think we Indians have really no sense of our own history … And hence, our lack of shame about ourselves as a people. We forget that throughout history we had no qualms aboutContinue reading “The unbearable lightness of being a language-hypocrite”
Tamil is as endangered a language as Sanskrit… but with far less chances of survival
The fate of Tamil language is no different from that of Sanskrit …. Both are dying languages . Sanskrit has a glimmer of hope of surviving…. Since , it is the language of the religious life of all Hindus all over the country. Tamil has no hope because even native speakers no longer are interestedContinue reading “Tamil is as endangered a language as Sanskrit… but with far less chances of survival”
The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-3 of 3) — Concluded
“THE TECHNICIANS” (or rather the TECHNOCRACY) “There is not much to be expected from the third group of Anglicized Hindus, and therefore there is not also much to be said…” … that’s how dismissively if not disparagingly does Nirad Chaudhury write about Technicians (or technocracy) of India in his 1965 book, “The Continent of Circe“.Continue reading “The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-3 of 3) — Concluded”
The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-2 of 3)
Post-1947, it was the Anglicised-Hindu Class that became the chosen people upon whom all the dreams and hopes of Jawaharlal Nehru for a “modern India” rested. Nirad C. Chaudhury described them — “….as a separate ethnic entity with its own collective psychology. It is constituted by the Hindus of the Anglicized upper middle-class, and isContinue reading “The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-2 of 3)”
The end of Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-1 of 3)
In speech after speech both in Parliament and outside, PM Modi in the last 10 years has never missed seizing upon any opportunity to denigrate the general culture of the Anglicised Hindus of India who PM Jawaharlal Nehru in his own time did so much to nurture and groom as the nation-builders of what wasContinue reading “The end of Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-1 of 3)”
America spiralling into intellectual and moral anarchy and Curtis Yarvin doctrine is symptomatic of it.
Curtis Yarvin is proposing a new political doctrine for America to embrace. It’s called neo-anti-brahminism … Please scroll down to read a piece on him and his works. In my view, Yarvin is simply proposing the replacement of one oligarchy with another … i.e. a democracy where left-liberal neocons, globalists and Woke oligarchs — whoContinue reading “America spiralling into intellectual and moral anarchy and Curtis Yarvin doctrine is symptomatic of it.”
India’s Democracy is prosthetic not orthopaedic … Why ?
Winston Churchill, WW-II British Prime Minister, made this famous pronouncement on government and democracy : ‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of GovernmentContinue reading “India’s Democracy is prosthetic not orthopaedic … Why ?”
Macroeconomics they never taught me at university : “The Zelensky Effect”
One of the important lessons in modern economics they never formally taught me when I was at university is that when faced with impending woe and imminent recession, the two most effective policy-measures a nation’s leaders will resort to while trying to dig themselves out of the hole they themselves in the first place dugContinue reading “Macroeconomics they never taught me at university : “The Zelensky Effect””
