What Do We Know Anyways!
Leave a commentMar 14, 2023 by Lok Samvaad
The manager in the last black out, felt or imagined that he is stuck in a loop where this last guy comes and gets his reservation cancelled at one time; thanks, him another time and tipped him in yet another time for being open for cancellation, although it can be refused at this time. The manager feels like he has already seen the guy coming up to him, and saying something and leaving. It’s too confusing, and to figure it out, this time he wanted some proof of this happening, so he decided to involve the assistant behind him, who was there in all those flashes. He thought may be by clicking a picture of the person, he could save himself from feeling being a delusional. As his thought, the guy eventually came and walked up to the counter, but before he could ask, the assistant jumped up and started clicking pictures of him, which he noticed and instead of talking further to the manager approached her instead. He calmly asked about the picture, to which she replied that it was their policy to get the last customer’s picture. Its good memory.

Is Caste Essential to Hinduism?
Leave a commentJul 1, 2021 by vipuldxt
… These social groups were a reality of a society formed over agrarian surplus and feudal polity. Hence in communities which are more agrarian and poor, will have a larger problem of the caste discrimination, as all these relations were defined for a political entity with agrarian surplus and division of labour and with the advancement of technology and mode of production becoming more and more mechanised the older class-caste groups are bound to become more and more obsolete than ever.

Krishna, Greeks and Magadha in Mahabharata
4May 30, 2021 by vipuldxt
There are reasons to believe that till the epic fratricidal war erupted, the Confederacy of Yadus were actually the most powerful of all political forces in the subcontinent, which had greatly consolidated their power through the successfully annhilation of the threats from the Kal Yavan (the alien or Greek), Jarasandh (of Magadh) and Shishupal (from the Chedi Kingdom). Vasudev Krishna appears to be a more of the a de-facto-leader of the Yadav’s confederacy….

There are many instances thereafter that indicates that the decision to marry Draupadi with the five brothers could had been a deliberate and a well thought out political move. Either anyone among sage Vyas (the actual grandfather of the Pandavas), Kunti, Yudhishthira and Vasudev Krishna deliberately planned or few of them devised this marriage together

A visit to Mahatma Gandhi’s Tolstoy Farm, Jo’burg, South Africa
Leave a commentDec 17, 2025 by vipuldxt
Tolstoy Farm, as it stands within complete isolation is still a building in construction. I hope it will become better soon. Walking on the small campus, it felt special to be in the place where Gandhi once lived and gave a vision of resistance to the oppressed of the world. This small space shaped the world and its discourses. Thanks a ton, for all those good men and women who still make it their job to keep this place running.

What did we really lose in Afghanistan anyways?
Leave a commentAug 18, 2021 by vipuldxt
…Afghanistan is not just a neighbouring country, its also our extended backyard and it is on fire again. We wished that US led war would dismantle the mujahid making machinery in the Afghanistan, but now the zealots are going to do the same with more vigour and higher moral than ever, after all they dismantled NATO forces instead.
