Sri Aurobindo is really not easy to understand & even the Vedanta/Vivekananda crowd rarely will take to it. For instance if he wrote about European industrialization being destructive then how would he respond to liberalisation or America. 1)

2) he writes about a future that few RW's would like. They have all benefited greatly from economic liberalisation & he speaks of a world that is even less industrialized than the socialism pattern.
3) his future is based on a methodology of human evolution that is very little spoken about ......... & his India is equidistant from the Nehruvian/Gandhian mould as Hindutva. Perhaps more so from the N/G mould since mentioning ** Bharat Mata** is an anthema in that thought.

This worthless cockroach (Krishna Kumar) who has chaired a mothballed den like NCERT should take a look at the pale, faded, junk textbooks which his ex-org has inflicted on bright and chirpy kids - these unproducitve maggots draw govt salaries then lecture the public https://t.co/Kfgn8xNfXC

Can one vision really be possible for such a huge and diverse country, or should we be talking, instead, of many visions, and a diversity of visions?

Yes, they are digging themselves into a very deep hole by trying to claim that Sanskrit is very late entry to India. This is immediately disproved by the monumental astronomical evidence in Sanskrit texts. So they ignore it ๐Ÿ˜€.

Let it be clear, the DNA and archaeology also shows that India was not some pristine "Aryan" homeland. Indians were a mixed people from the beginning and the link to Iranians is very deep and predates Bronze Age. 1/n https://t.co/1hzfHa5K0S

Has any genuine anti-AIT claimed that India was a "pristine Aryan homeland"? straw-man argument. 
Swami Dayanand was first one to refute this fiction n this is what he said:

Unlike Hindu chauvinists, reasonable people distinguish between a small number of Islamic militants and ordinary Kashmiris who just happen to be Muslim. Modi’s Kashmir gambit may be popular with Indians, but it’s unlikely to win over the world. [My take] https://t.co/CwbmpWESel

This is perhaps the earliest surviving depiction of the samudramanthana from early gupta or inter-dynastic period. Note dhavantari below vainateya holding an amR^ita-kalasha. Note kAmadhenu and shrI emerging from the churning. While it seems to depict the asura-pakSha, It looks https://t.co/1n3STvK5eL

A dhanvantari from Sarnath from around the reign of emperor harShavardhana. It is rather remarkable in depicting surgeons & physician performing various procedures. On the left you can see a surgeon performing a colorectal procedure probably for arsharoga. Notable is the evidence evidence for females in the medical profession of the age https://t.co/e8maaVWCcE

For your #FridayFeeling, #FIIRecommends #TheDoublenessofSexuality by @akhilkatyal.  The book is about same-sex desires that trace how the term 'homosexual' entered the vocabulary of colonial India, and how the term was perceived in colonial and post-colonial India. #Section377 https://t.co/8e1rM2HRtm

Many people with 0 idea about genetics or even the broad area of population genetics, write PhD thesis on a very specific area of it.
If their whole knowledge on the issue has come from reading a specific subset, how will they ever know what even to fundamentally disagree with?

Today is a big day. Two long-awaited genetic studies have been published now – the updated version of the widely-read ‘The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia’ is out in Science, and the first study of a genome from a Harappan site, Rakhigarhi, is out in Cell.

What a contrast--One Chidambaram of TN --5-11-1872--sold all his wealth /became freedom fighter and ran a ship--arrested by British&spent time in jail-another Chidambaram after 100 years on the earlier Chidambaram birth day spend time in Jail for accumulating illegal assets:)) RT

Nothing seems firm after one year; RW discourse is as confused as ever. Always reacting, ranting, mocking, or outraging; no solid offerings, no publications. That's in the fitness of things perhaps.

Whether some firm theoretical direction precipitates from deliberations at @PondyLitFest with #SriAurobindo in background is not known right now but it had "incredible enthusiasm, joy and vigor" of Pentecostal meeting (Justice, Nature & The Geography of Difference, David Harvey). https://t.co/C0DEmN2d6g

Certain characters we learnt about in the school seem eternal: Gulliver, Robinson Crusoe, Don Quixote, Casablanca, Jim Hawkins, Uncle Tom, etc to which can be added Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Bartlebooth, Josรฉ Arcadio Buendรญa, and of course, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo).

Sri Aurobindo simply reiterates this argument; doesn't offer any fresh evidence. So, the matter is far from being decided either way.
