24 January 2021 What can be really said about ‘genetics’ a kind of reaffirmation of the weird logic that runs through Indic scriptural corruption that manifested as caste system, and Western Eugenics, when you face a family that counts 2 Nobel Laureates and half a dozen stellar role models in varied fields, ranging from literary […]
02 January 2021 After centuries, the voice of a people long suppressed found mention. A people who had been wished away by the White Man were restored to the anthem of a continental nationhood that was constructed by this Western Compact, one that surprisingly evolved far differently than the smaller island colonies further south and […]
30 December 2020 ‘Divorce or Discovery?’ So where are we headed now? We are now in a ‘each person to themselves’ situation, one made politically palatable by our Prime Minister using the Atmanirbhar slogan! Folks more astutely observing the political scenario are warning that we are heading toward some kind of bottomless abyss, which is […]

7 December 2020 Part II: Why are we trapped, feeling safe in status quo versus the prospect of better future through reform. Actually I can say the Farm Trilogy is a tragedy because of timing. India had missed the bus in UPA2, when she could have done this in a calibrated manner, but for guttural […]
7 December 2020 Part I- How we got here or India’s agrarian story so far It is not every day that the UN treats India like a third world country, at least not for a domestic matter, one that would fall squarely into the ‘internal affairs’ of the country. Not since this current generation of […]
29 September 2020 I did not want to write about how Democracy must now be looking from afar. There is still some form of democracy in Russia, and so when I meant afar, I mean only China and the CCP regime. America always seems to be able to just keep her head above water, increasingly […]
28 September 2020 We as students of military history are aware of how the formidable French under the all conquering Napoleon Bonaparte lost to the Tsarist Russians in their campaign due to ‘General Winter’.
