“Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilisation?” — Part II of 2
“Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilisation?”“I think it’s a good idea.”
A century after Mahatma Gandhi delivered his famously sharp retort to a condescending British press, the global architecture he challenged faces an unprecedented twilight.In this new two-part long-form essay, I take a bird’s-eye view of the last 500 years of global history.
From the violent internal fractures of pre-industrial Europe to the cold, zero-sum geopolitical chessboards of Sir Halford Mackinder, the essay explores how Western Civilisation successfully turned its localized concepts into a global monoculture—often by ruthlessly marginalizing alternative frameworks.
Today, as the ten great ideological pillars of this half-millennium framework face systematic collapse, the world is stepping into a profound ideological void.📖 Read the full deep dive here:
“Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilisation?” — Part I of 2
A century after Mahatma Gandhi delivered his famously sardonic critique of Western Civilisation, the global monoculture he challenged faces an unprecedented twilight.
Spanning the volatile centuries before the Industrial Revolution to the cold, zero-sum geopolitical chessboards of Halford Mackinder, this two-part long-form essay traces how the West exported its systems through military and financial might while aggressively silencing alternative ideas. As the ten great ideological pillars of this 500-year-old framework face systemic collapse, humanity now steps into an ideological void.
Explore a bird’s-eye view of history, the inquisitional nature of institutional orthodoxy, and why Gandhi’s inscrutable retort remains the ultimate epitaph for an empire in retreat.

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 2 of 2- CONCLUDED)
