As we see, Indian culture is the richest in the world in every respect. What would be "Indian" about us if we abandon this culture and become clones of other cultures, and what would we really have to be proud of if we allow this rich culture tobe impoverished?<br /><br />Even a bad person may say something good: neither does it make him good, nor does it make those things bad. Hitler was a vegetarian: this neither makes him good, nor vegetarianism bad. We should take the good from everyone without falling into the trap of idolizing the person. Gandhi's sexual experiments (or "experiments with truth") even as he kept his wife in forced celibacy (and I have read somewhere that he even made the young people in his ashrams indulge in these weird acts), his destructive pro-Muslim and pro-Pakistan policies, his many hypocrisies and idiosyncracies, etc., are facts. But if the best model for a perfect socio-economic system, at least in fundamentals, can be derived from some of his ideas, that is also a fact. I need not be a fan of the Quran to appreciate the Quranic verse that, in doing charity, we should not let even the left hand know what the right hand is doing. And I do not have to be an enemy of Rama to criticize the Ramayana stories about Sita's exile and Shambuka's slaying. Personal opinions (however justified on other grounds or in other matters) should not stop us from appreciating or accepting what is good and condemning what is bad.Shrikant Talagerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700049337974422213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488245879483190185.post-43033230589070510582017-12-05T08:52:06.549-08:002017-12-05T08:52:06.549-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shrikant Talagerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700049337974422213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488245879483190185.post-60992412129655749042017-12-05T08:48:33.837-08:002017-12-05T08:48:33.837-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shrikant Talagerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700049337974422213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488245879483190185.post-1732930746727663452017-12-04T20:20:08.510-08:002017-12-04T20:20:08.510-08:00Really wonderful writing with some super analogies...Really wonderful writing with some super analogies. Example: "...if asked whether they would like to see Christians being converted to Hinduism, they would naturally reply in the negative; but if asked whether they would have liked to see Hindus being converted to Christianity if they themselves had been Hindus, they would reply in the affirmative on the ground that Christianity is the only true religion, and conversion to Christianity is salvation from hell-fire!"<br /><br />Some aspects need to be elaborated more, such as why preserving culture is so important. For a young reader, this is not as clear. Also what Gandhi may have said idealistically and what he actually was as a person are quite different things, and my bias is that he should not be referenced at all. There also seems to a pointed reference to "American" imperialism whereas it isn't actually just American.<br /><br />The title of this essay feels incorrect to me. Also it would be good if another essay is written on what should be done to bring back or re-integrate converts to their original culture and how to do this in the most inclusive and respectful manner.<br /><br />Overall, a worthy read.SRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694210745614789639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488245879483190185.post-21986775257477434332016-06-17T12:54:09.845-07:002016-06-17T12:54:09.845-07:00I agree with every letter( except on Urdu) of Mr....I agree with every letter( except on Urdu) of Mr. Talageri in this brilliant essay. Humanism should be essence of Hindutva and it is great to see that we still have Hindu thinkers who care for egalitarianism and economic justice to downtrodden. Infact, apart from unprincipled ways in which BJP etc. deal with cultural issues( what it has done for Ram Temple) , a thing which really irritates me is that it is dominated by capitalists of worst hues. These people would talk about 'changes' and 'youth' and criticise any attempt at alleviating poverty or ensuring justice. American consumerism and crony capitalism are bane of 'Right Wing' ideologues in India as it shows our masses that they have nothing to gain from these people. <br /><br />On Urdu, I must say that while one might argue that Urdu is an Indian language but fact of the matter is that its impact is as ruinous as American consumerism. Not all people can be polyglots( not even one out of 100) and when our own native terms are pushed out by Perso-Arabic words in Urdu, it is deplorable. Bollywood has ensured that instead of 'Pratiksha' now people use 'Intazar'. Now I really do not think that Intezar is an 'Indian' word, Arabs who use this word are certainly not using an 'Indian' word. Here I would follow Bhartendu Harishchandra and Raghuvir.<br /><br />Nonetheless, essay is brilliant, clear, coherent and calls for one of noblest forms of nationalism ever tried anywhere.
