The historic NJAC Bill, passed unanimously by the Parliament, was undone by the Supreme Court using the judicially evolved doctrine of 'Basic Structure' of Constitution. There is no parallel to such a development in democratic history of the world. #RajyaSabha #WinterSession

"I have a fear that the modern girl loves to play Juliet to half a dozen Romeos. She loves adventure… dresses not to protect herself but to attract attention. She improves upon nature by painting herself and looking extraordinary," Gandhi wrote in 1939. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

The figure quoted as the British “loot” of India is not just bad economics, it is a fraud pulled off by Marxist historians. Any money repatriated by the Company adventurers in the late-18th c. was a gift from their Indian allies.

1. Sir,pls correct your timelines.Syed Ahmed Khan passed away in 1898, when Savarkar was barely 15 yrs old. From 1858 until his death, Khan had built on the Two Nation Theory which was based on the worldview of Shah Waliullah Dehlawi whose seminary Khan was a product of.

Just realized that I never noted the passing of Sir E. A. Wrigley, the legendary British demographer and economic historian, on February 24. Here's a short thread on someone whose research and writing made a big difference to the way that I think about the Industrial Revolution.

About 20 classic books that will soon disappear from my office, as I declutter, that is, switch to the pdf editions. Post-Edward-Said, many historians tend to put early-modern European accounts of India in one single box and label it “unsuitable.” That’s a big mistake!

I’ve been reading Aristotle seriously since December 2018, when I first read the Physics and Metaphysics systematically. I was prompted by Korsgaard’s and McDowell’s suite of essays on Aristotle, which I read earlier on the year. Few things have impacted my thinking as much. 1/

A Muslim Area in a secular democracy is something everyone must normalise and accept. A Hindu Area anywhere by default is a fascist expression of a Nazi state. Azaan blasting on speakers in Hindu Areas is secularism but Jai Shri Ram being shouted in Muslim Areas is communalism.

The next decade is of India. Manufacturing is going to see a steep jump, similar to what software industry saw in 90s & 2000s. Don’t miss the wave. Become a doer. Become an optimist. Find people who are solving things instead of cribbing. Consume less politics and less journalism

The absolutely stunning discovery by Tata memorial that a local anaesthetic costing just Rs 75 reduces breast cancer recurrence post surgery by as much as 30% should have been front page news for days. Instead, we don’t even know the names of the discoverers. Value your doctors.
