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”

The Modi Era: 2014-2025 Magnificent achievements indeed ! This past 11 year period will certainly have to be reckoned by historians of the future as India’s “finest hour” heralding a golden era in the life of the nation.

The future of Indo-Pak relations: “Hyphenation” out and “Conjugation” in
https://thefridaytimes.com/15-May-2025/the-pahalgam-attack-and-the-return-of-the-india-pakistan-hyphenation?version=amp This tag of “hyphenation” in global diplomacy is as old as the hills and doesn’t apply to India – Pakistan alone.

The toughest part of Modi’s job as PM: It’s not Pakistan’s “death to India by a thousand cuts”… it’s “the most unkindest cut of all” dealt by churlish citizens

A few people I know are dissatisfied withContinue reading “The toughest part of Modi’s job as PM: It’s not Pakistan’s “death to India by a thousand cuts”… it’s “the most unkindest cut of all” dealt by churlish citizens”

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)”
