Nature is not symmetrical

Request our countrymen to please call out your male contemporaries when they spout nonsense about women and our bodies. India needs sane masculine voices to set the standard.

Look at the number of tweets. This pervert mythologist has been hurling sexist abuses at me since 6 months. I ignored it all along with a lot of patience.
Some worthless people in the comments telling me 'ignore him, Don't stop to his level". Where were all of you then?

Kindly report @/Devduttmyth for harassment. Also, tag and ask folks platforming him if his sick behaviour has their endorsement. How is such a person presented as an expert of our history, traditions and scriptures?

Golu = a term of derision used by trolls who follow @tiinexile for plump HINDU gods like Ganesha and Kubera, and plump Hindu males like Devdutt Pattanaik, Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah. Deep seated Hinduphobia rooted in Winston Churchill's Bengal Famine.

...Wrong. Iris of woman expands when looking at a child when compared to situation with men when they see a beautiful girl.
Women can do without sex. Therefore denial of sex by woman is terror and torture by female. Marriage is protection against accusation of rape. He or She should be free to walk away from a marriage m

Another example: Politically United USSR splitting inspite of strict political unity under KGB

Hindus themselves have been detached from Hinduism (thanks to Macaulay followed by Nehruvian Stalinism). So Babas are adjusting accordingly.
If Hindus want pure Hinduism then why do they want in English only and not from a Brahmin trained in tradition?

"Yoga isn't Hinduism, Mahashivratri doesn't have any dharmic origin..."

That’s basically also Santideva’s argument! Self-directed concern is already altruistic in a temporal sense and that can be generalized to spatial alterity. I didn’t know Zipporyn had also argued for it.

Two aims of my working week was to understand an essay on Sri Aurobindo I am reading and to make sense of some notes I have on psychology & psychoanalysis. Weird how they are linked in a way western philosophy & psychology are not.
Freud's unconscious is anathema to most western religious movements which mimic a hierarchical cosmology and, therefore, lend themselves to simplistic notions of command snd control.

“Maxim Gorky is a wonderful writer, resister, speaker-outer. He speaks out about the various excesses of the Bolshevik uprisings, but later he lost his lustre because of his complicit attitude towards Stalinism. His early works, though, are infallible” https://t.co/WiRbFeR8KM

“Hemingway said that all American fiction comes from Huckleberry Finn. That’s true, in the sense that Mark Twain invented a way of looking at the American experience and putting it into fiction. He is for Americans as important as Chaucer might be for us.” https://t.co/62eyDNbNIj

A more fundamental question is whether more number of divorces are good or bad? Or even, whether religious or legal stipulation for marriages is good or bad? There can many layers of interrogation and yet not one can claim self-evident legitimacy or justification. Postmodernism!

@annavetticad Madam, Mohan Bhagwat probably did not explain himself clearly. Collectivism and Individualism are driven by opposing drivers. Poor people are collective and rich people are individualistic. Individualism fragments societies. You have a knowledge problem. Read books

Affluence breeds Independence and therefore individualism. Individualism affects numerous affairs between people including marriage, friendship etc.
