A quick look at the origin and form of Indian philosophy suggests that its goals might not have been to discover properties of the world at all. A salient goal for philosophical inquiry, distinct from the sciences, could be to formulate conditions of human reflective needs for cognitive agents to lead rational lives. The study of needs seems to be fundamental to philosophical inquiry since its presence can be located even in classical Western philosophy when it is shorn off its ‘scientific’ goals. Interestingly, the study of the mind—the contentious domain under consideration—offers some promising evidence on this issue.

Reflections on Human Inquiry: Science, Philosophy, and Common Life
Reading a collection of Kamal Kumar Majumdar's short-stories. By the far the most talented Bengali short-story writer, exceptional style.

One of the finest Bengali short story writers was Kamal Kumar Majumdar. Miles ahead of Sunil. Yet not popular among masses.

True, tho' I don't think Kshitimohan Sen comes anywhere near the depth/breadth/impact of such post-1835 Sanskrit scholars as Brajendranath Seal, Vivekananda, K.C. Bhattacharya, B.K. Sarkar, Sri Aurobindo, Sri Anirvan, P.V. Kane, & V. Raghavan - all products of English education.

You need to read good proper historians such as R C Majumdar, Jadunath Sarkar, Radhakumud Mukherjee or scholars on Indian civilization such as Kshitimohan Sen, Haraprasad Shastri, Sunitee Chattopadhyay et al instead of communist ideologies madquarading as scholars in history.

A day to remember #MeghnadSaha (6 October 1893 – 16 February 1956), #astrophysicist noted for the Saha Equation, fundamental to all works on stellar atmospheres. The pix shows him (seated extreme left) with his teacher J.C. Bose, acclaimed physicist & plant physiologist

#JaminiRoy (11 April 1887 – 24 April 1972). The master of line and colour, who invented his own folk idiom and created his own paints. Did you know, he restricted his palette to just seven colours: Indian red, yellow ochre, cadmium green, vermillion, grey, blue and white?

Jadunath Sarkar (10 December 1870 – 19 May 1958), forgotten historian. Yet in an age of #fake #histories he's remembered for his authentic primary sources. Have fond memories of his house at Lake Terrace as a student of Centre for Studies in Social Sciences @CSSSCal years ago.

Perhaps no one serenaded #Calcutta as much as #MrinalSen, one of the doyens of India's new wave cinema. Far away from splashy Bollywood, the city appeared as it was, warts and all. So lucky to have had such cultural giants when we were growing up. Sen was born #Today 1923

Paved his own path & stayed without being swayed by the sparkle of the gem(Manikda/ Satyajit Roy) or raw genius of Ritwik Ghatak or magnificent majesty of Tapan Sinha,
They were true stars without stardom !!

Born #today, 1908, Manik Bandyopadhyay, whose #books make my cry every time. A math student at #PresidencyCollege, he became the star of the Kallol #literary movement of #Bengal, rebelling against the influence of #Tagore to portray subaltern characters and experiences.
