Topics Mentioning This Author

J. Sai Deepak
“The spiritual character of the relationship between indigeneity and nature is an emotion that the coloniser can at best exoticise but can never relate to.”
J Sai Deepak, India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution

Rajiv Malhotra
“India itself cannot be viewed only as a bundle of the old and the new, accidentally and uncomfortably pieced together, an artificial construct without a natural unity. Nor is she just a repository of quaint, fashionable accessories to Western lifestyles; nor a junior partner in a global capitalist world. India is its own distinct and unified civilization with a proven ability to manage profound differences, engage creatively with various cultures, religions and philosophies, and peacefully integrate many diverse streams of humanity.”
Rajiv Malhotra, Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism

S.L. Bhyrappa
“An author doesn't have the moral right to violate truth and take refuge in the claim that he/she is only a creative artist.”
S.L. Bhyrappa, ಆವರಣ [Aavarana]

J. Sai Deepak
“At least four forms of colonialism are recognised, namely exploitation colonialism, settler colonialism, surrogate colonialism and internal colonialism,”
J. Sai Deepak, India that is Bharat: Coloniality, Civilisation, Constitution

Sandeep Balakrishna
“if Hindus cannot—or are not allowed to—perform something as fundamental as Puja, they’re destroyed in ways our imagination cannot even fathom.”
Sandeep Balakrishna, 10 Lessons from Hindu History in 10 Episodes: Tales of Grit, Heroism and Valour
