“There is nothing that quite mimics the bloodsport and realpolitik of Game of Thrones like Indian politics. Hereditary houses and regional satraps are now collapsing as a dragon-bellied leviathan engulfs India in an unending fire.”
The British may have ruled India as an imperial power but the idea of a modern electoral democracy with institutions enjoying independent powers with a bicameral parliament came from UK's political system. Only ostriches follow history selectively

RSS ideology is about trying to appropriate every relevant Indian trend & claiming it as Hindu. Modi has gone one step further in that direction: he is trying to appropriate every dominant non-BJP ideology & claiming it as his own. It's not about votes, these are his principles.
This phenomenon of Hindus talking about mundane things in terms of God and religion was noted by Shrilal Shukla in Rag Darbari.
Like people seeing Bhakhra Nangal dam and saying " Waah! Prabhu ne ek baar phir apna chamatkar dikhaane ke liye Bharat Bhumi ko chuna hai!"
Only if north Indians knew the role played by Adheenams in strengthening the Dravidianist ideology....
It's like how women sometimes pretend that unke upar maata aa gai hai and then say everything that they wish for making it look like it's mata's command.
#Guruji has same role in this thread.

Hindus possess an endless appetite for optics.
Absolutely...I find this emotional drama so hypocritical...
Hundreds of ancient shivlings, broken were thrown away in rubble
But we didnt hear a screech
The Sengol is a Tamil thing. Not a Hindu thing.
Yes possible, working on it.
As a part of research attaching you a speech of Nehru where he criticizes all religions except Hinduism!
Yes, that strand was known to German philosophers. Schopenhauer also said something similar on Hinduism.

Elected ruler instead of hereditary is the basic premise of democracy. Imputing other expectations are corollary and not mandatory.
Now that the real estate and construction based campaign is likely to dominate in 2024, it's instructive to understand that the religious rituals are themselves a symbolic one. Sri Aurobindo points out that the inner significance of forms has been forgotten or rendered distorted.
Brahmins are derided but for understanding what the topmost Varna represents one has to read the explanation of Varuna given by Sri Aurobindo in The Secret of the Veda. He has also delineated the theme in the Mother book as the characteristic of Maheshwari. Both are unprecedented.
