The hall was full last night as Anu Majumdar spoke about the massive development in #Auroville in the last three years. I explained why they are spreading videos against our highly cultured and educated secretary, Dr. Jayanti Ravi ma'am. @JayantiRavi
The term “Whites” is racist & against Auroville’s vision of unity. Early residents didn’t choose an easy life—they turned a desert into an oasis, planting 3M trees & creating a 1,380-acre forest. This takeover ignores their dedication. They’re more than “foreigners” and deserve respect for their achievements—business visa holders have more economic flexibility than someone on an Auroville Entry Visa. Wake up!

Auroville’s heart is human unity, and we embrace development—when it’s COLLABORATIVE. Our residents, with decades of sustainable expertise, deserve to be heard, not sidelined. Yet obstacles block this journey, favoring fast development over unity. Let’s honor our pioneers and co-create a future of growth through harmony, not division.
