After 3 harrowing weeks of hospitalization & near-death experience due to Covid, really happy to be discharged. Long road to recovery given the extent of damage, but a major part is hopefully behind. I'm so deeply touched & overwhelmed by the deluge of goodwill, msgs, prayers (1)
..by so many of u whom I don't even know personally. I dunno what I have done to deserve this kind of love & blessings.Heart swells with gratitude. Unable to reply to several msgs or speak due to lung weakness but my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who stood by us & prayed! (2)
It's really ur prayers & wishes that gave me a new lease of life 🙏 Koti koti pranams! I'm especially v grateful to @rajeev_mp , @Tejasvi_Surya & @CTRavi_BJP for their timely & invaluable help when we were in dire straits.🙏

Pray Almighty protects u n ur families in these times!

Since quoting 1930-1940 texts seems to be the flavour of the times, Dr BR Ambedkar in "Pakistan or the Partition of India" 1940

"The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only" (1/n).
"There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity." (2/n)
"The second defect of Islam is that it is a system of social self-government and is incompatible with local self-government, because the allegiance of a Muslim does not rest on his domicile in the country which is his but on the faith to which he belongs." (3/n)

On the occasion of the birth anniversary of #VeerSavarkar posting some of my articles on him in recent past in wake of intense calumny he faces all the time! The much-misunderstood, maligned leader of our times! @narendramodi

theprint.in/opinion/read-t…
His views on social reforms, caste system, untouchability, cow protection etc were way ahead of their times n resisted strongly by the orthdox. An aspect of #VeerSavarkar we r seldom told abt! @narendramodi

theprint.in/opinion/savark…
#VeerSavarkar sadly gets dragged in contemporary political mudslinging by opponents of @BJP4India or @narendramodi which does a great disservice to his legacy

Thank you Yogendra ji and i am glad there is civil discourse. I obviously can't put things in 140 character twitter-war format. But will b addressing all these issues in depth in my book based on years of research. Meanwhile u could read his Hindu Rashtra darshan and also (1/n)
The views of Sir Cripps who met Savarkar too and had remarked that one of the most clear n tough stands on freedom were taken by this man n i was flummoxed by his lawyer-like arguments (not exact words, but sum n substance). (2/n)
Under him the Hindu Mahasabha articulated a clear vision of free India where minorities could enjoy all rights n no special privileges like communal award or excess representations. Many like Savarkar n Ambedkar or Bose did not approve of Gandhi's methods (3/n)

My dear Manu. Interesting "conversations" on ur TL appeared on mine n as a dear friend thought of sharing views wt a disclaimer of being neither an expert on Kerala history or Hindu theology or specifically #sabarimala. Open to b corrected (1/n)
1. I reckon u might hv mixed social evils such as dalit non-entry into temples n fundamental theology based on the sthalapuranam of #Sabarimala. Bhutanata upakhyanam doesn't forbid the former but states latter "will" of Deity to maintain naisthika or indefinite brahmacharya(2/n)
2. As part of nationwide reforms in Hindu society to allow dalits etc if these were done at #Sabarimala they didn't contravene it's fundamental character as espoused by the deity n as believed by His followers. (3/n)
