At the above book-launch event, many in the audience as they trooped into the plush Chennai International Centre (CIC) auditorium were mystified if not aghast when they first saw the title that my book carried : Death?

Right at the very beginning of the event, Mr. Chandramouli,Continue reading “If you had to drop “brahmin” from the title of your book “The Death of the Brahmin-Liberal”, what would you have replaced it with?” (Part 1 of 2)”

“The Death of the Brahmin-Liberal”: M.K.Sudarshan — the 3 key themes and the key chapters in the book . A must read for young Indians today .
The book’s central thesis is that the balanced and principled “Brahmin–Liberal” ethos embodied by V S Srinivasa Sastri—marked by civility, ethical liberalism, and a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity—has all but vanished from India’s public life, and its absence has deep consequences for political and social discourse today. Three Key Themes • The complexContinue reading ““The Death of the Brahmin-Liberal”: M.K.Sudarshan — the 3 key themes and the key chapters in the book . A must read for young Indians today .”

“Access to American Technology” is not such a big deal… India shouldn’t get spooked by a pinprick wound.
Ever since Trump slammed the punitive “left-right punch” tariffs of 25%+25% tariff on India weeks ago, there’s been an ongoing debate in the public square on why our Government’s response has been so pusillanimous if not craven so far. The economic pundits and journalistic commentariat are busy writing copious, dense op-Eds in the nationwide pressContinue reading ““Access to American Technology” is not such a big deal… India shouldn’t get spooked by a pinprick wound.”
Peter Turchin, “Manu-Smriti” and the “distress” of “Elite Overproduction” looming over India – (Part 3 of 3) CONCLUDED
Let it not be misunderstood that today in the Democratic Republic of India, any body — not even an obscure, even maybe obscurantist writer like me — would be foolhardy enough to argue for the Manu Smriti to replace the Constitution of India. That would be sheer political sacrilege today in India… No, none ofContinue reading “Peter Turchin, “Manu-Smriti” and the “distress” of “Elite Overproduction” looming over India – (Part 3 of 3) CONCLUDED”
Peter Turchin, “Manu-Smriti” and the “distress” of “Elite Overproduction” looming over India – (Part 2 of 3)

(Chapter 1.88-91). This system classified society into four main varnas: Brahmins (priests and teachers), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers),Continue reading “Peter Turchin, “Manu-Smriti” and the “distress” of “Elite Overproduction” looming over India – (Part 2 of 3)”
An interesting exchange of views with “Eepa” on which language Hanuman spoke to Sri Rama when they met for the very first time – (Part 2 of 2) CONCLUDED
Eepa’s unique perspective still did not stop me from persisting in the other more pedestrian question for which too I pressed him for an answer: What could have been the language in which Hanuman spoke so impressively that it absolutely captivated Sri Rama ? “யார் கொலோ இச்சொல்வின் செல்வன்?” (“Who is this prince of words?”) InContinue reading “An interesting exchange of views with “Eepa” on which language Hanuman spoke to Sri Rama when they met for the very first time – (Part 2 of 2) CONCLUDED”
The fake Voter-ID: A British legacy of Balkanising India
Reading the below summary (please scroll down below to read ) makes me feel very sympathetic to Sri. Amit Shah or for that matter anyone who occupies the Home Minister of India seat. I now understand with much greater clarity than ever before how British Colonialism must bear full responsibility for India’s stupendous and enervatingContinue reading “The fake Voter-ID: A British legacy of Balkanising India”
