Those who are great, and those who aspire greatness, live through a struggle against the world. The insignificant individual is sustained by the general insignificance of life itself.

One of the most magical things about India is the wildlife. I still cannot believe my eyes when I drive from town to town. On my drive to Monkey Temple in Jaipur, this is what the road looked like. It’s not uncommon to see dogs, cows, & tons of monkeys in the streets of India.

@Substantial6187 Gupta period was an age of high culture and, but Enlightenment is totally different both in content and objectives. and, of course, there were immense contributions by non-Europeans. but, the immediate point in my tweet is why it happened there and/or did not happen here.
English
@writingback It did happen here during Gupta period, the enlightenment in Europe was not just European, it built on knowledge of the Islamicate, chinese and Indian sciences.
English
And, this is one of the critical factors why Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment happened within Abrahamic traditions, and not in our sorry subcontinent.

Mandirs aren’t science museums to quench your curiosity
English
@Substantial6187 yes, why mentioned ‘one of the critical factors’, and it is not about why it happened in Europe, but why more so it didn’t/couldn’t happen here. and, people tend to be curious about places that offer curiosity in certain dynamics, or where they could find some, religious or not.
English
@writingback There are no places of curiosity, there are people who are curious. The question why enlightenment happened in Europe has no easy answers.
English
@Substantial6187 only science museums are places of curiosity? ye kaisa line of reasoning hai
English
@writingback Are churches and mosques science museum ?

It is so obviously bad that even Rajdeep Sardesai could not do his usual balancing act anymore and had to admit the fall of India into the camp of imperialist powers.

Important to note: It’s increasingly apparent that New Delhi has picked a side this time in the West Asia war. PM Modi’s visit to Israel, the call to express solidarity with UAE govt and the silence on Ali Khamenei death are clear signs that India is with the US-Israel axis. Whether it’s the ‘right’ call we shall know in time (‘normalising’ regime change through bloody conflict is fraught with unimagined risk) but for now New Delhi appears to have abandoned any pretence of neutrality and non-alignment in the belief that our ‘national interest’ lies in being with the more powerful side in a polarised Trumpian world disorder. How we navigate this uncertain world will be watched with much interest... #IranWar

Anyone, and precisely anyone, who tags the Shia consensus behind the Ayatollah along with Taliban, ISIS, or Wahabism is a self-evident degenerate of the worst type. More so if some literate ignorant claims to uphold ‘secular’ values by flaunting this decadent mental state.

I am sorry but this is both hilarious and shocking. My eyes have truly opened to a whole new level of fanaticism in kashmir that i was unaware of. These visuals, this radical Islamism, the glorifying of likes is Khamenei, Hamas, Taliban, ISIS, people like Arfa Khanum posting #Khamenei pin up posters with glorifying captions, they do nothing but numb my secular sensitivity and give apathy towards the Muslim question in India. Tragic.
English
Whatever it results into on the political landscape, however it unfolds for global economy, one historical event is here: if the death of Imam Hussain forged the Shia-Sunni schism, the death of Khamenei has broken it. Leaders may bow to the US, people look to the horizon beyond.
English
The US-Israel war on Iran has ensured that Iran will continue to be guided by the theological and spiritual authority instead of the intended liberal democratic order. This imperialist war has made the domestic opposition to Iran’s theocratic setup totally handicap and causeless.

LWs also keep saying UCs are the ones occupying most of the top posts from business to tech, but India still struggles to put out even a single hi-tech device of public use or a single business that is not another pyramid scam to loot public money.

The foremost person in recent history to parcel out this cringe actually believed that it came from the Arctic. Never stops being funny how this quasi-schizo lot keeps changing their own plotline.

BJP will not unleash itself unto Bengali metropolis in form of Bajrang Dal since it would give away the very moment. They have deployed Bengali con artists to forge all sorts of pervert discourse to undermine cosmopolitanism and bring in cowbeltism in the name of Hindu society.

MP-ification of Mumbai begins.
Yashwant Deshmukh 🇮🇳@YRDeshmukh
With the triple engine in place, this is the golden chance for Mumbai to get its civic administrative issues and chronic chokepoints of development sorted out. If Center, State and Local power levers are moved properly, then this city can transform itself like never before. But if this golden chance gets wasted, then there is no hope whatsoever for any Metro center in India to get what they truly deserve. Let Mumbai be the leading model for this transformation. I hope and pray @Dev_Fadnavis does justice to the massive mandate given to him.
