Carl,
Thanks for sharing your views. Very interesting and informative, I must add. I do follow your take on philosophy to certain extent, but I am lost at the point of cross over (from Spiritual philosophy to political philosophy that is) to the dangers of "Ethnic Pride" and "Hindu Nationalist" angles. Perhaps I am missing something, well obviously I am missing something <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
All the gentle jingos who were referred to swami vivekananda, savarkar et al, all had different purposes at different time periods with varying focus - am I wrong in reading them that way?
Since your argument(s), If I am reading correctly, seem to take - Ethnic Pride equates to walking down the slippery slope and eventual destruction (of what?) - , I want to understand this cross over point, so we can appreicate it better and have a good discussion.
Thank you!
