Sri Aurobindo and the dharma of democracy - watch my conversation with Ashutosh Garg for @followtbcy: youtube.com/watch?v=wJb3-3…
'Two powerful aftershocks hit Afghanistan after earthquakes killed 2,200' - how sad. Best wishes, people of Afghanistan. thehindu.com/news/internati…
Shashi might have more impact if he placed this in a US newspaper. But no one can vote for him in the US. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
"If a country can't hold together and all feel that they're on the same team, then you can't run a democracy." Why India succeeded where other countries failed: youtube.com/watch?v=yLgf9W…

I'll be catching up on comments tomorrow (Wednesday). I really do read everyone's comments on anything I post, and although sometimes my replies are delayed by up to a week, I try to reply to as many as possible. Thanks to everyone for your support -- and your patience!
A more intimate podcast conversation than usual ... talking to Navneet Anand for @VoiceAajkal about religion, democracy, and my personal background. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=zhRuOw…

Leaders as ideologically diverse as Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, and Narendra Modi placed supreme importance on the doctrine of duty. For them (and, if we listen carefully, for us), the discovery of Bharat is nothing other than the discovery of Dharma. amazon.com/dp/1923224735/
Yes: Sanatan Dharma.
"Caste ... is the fundamental institution of Hinduism. Before everything else, without caste there is no Hindu." -- Max Weber, The Religion of India (1916). Obviously, that's not true. I think it's time for someone to write an update of this deeply flawed colonial-era book.
For the record, here is guru Rajdeep's take on me from two years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=uI_zgY…
