On Our Nation’s Existential Crisis – Part 6
Dr M. Abdul Mu’min Chowdhury – 2/17/2013
Part 6: Read Thy Arthashastra On The Mirror

After Part 5’s de-tour, in this instalment I shall return back to the main concern of my essay and, as promised, help identify what we as a nation must do for defeating New Delhi’s ‘world conquerors’. This is not a difficult task. As I said in Part 4, to get our ‘dos’ and ‘don’t dos’ we might, to begin with, read Kautilya’s Arthashastra on the mirror. In saying this what I have in mind is this: If we look at Kautilya’s advice to his Brahmanic ‘world conquerors’ from their intended victims’ position and earnestly take guards and counter measure…

The New Matriarchy and the Redundant Male
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. – 2/10/2013
From the dawn of history to the late 1950s, the collective had been the organizing principle of human affairs. The pursuit of happiness was channelled via collectives and even dissidents and rebels formed collectives to express their grievances. But, this old system brought humanity to the verge of extinction. Disenchanted with mass ideologies, people switched to the opposite pole: militant individualism, which became the new battle cry and organizing principle of increasingly more narcissistic collectives and individuals alike.
