    Rajivji, the Communists in Kerala is doing well with this cultural asthatesisation. They promote that with the very famous phrase in Kerala " This is Kerala, we are number one " . Further the Marxist proclaims that the north indian population is illeterate and uneducated to vote in a particular way and that will not be subscribed in Kerala, being the number one State of India. Rajeev ji is doing a very good job in explaining the sidhandha and the frame work of Sheldon Pollock and such cunning India haters in bringing out of their shield of " preshasty" tricks and expose them.

Even if the State level BJP leadership is strengthened I am not sure if considerable progress can be achieved in the near future. My analysis is that irrespective of the miserable governance the LDF will win the next election. I have my reasons strengthened from the talk recently heard from the most respected League leader Shri KNA Khadar. He was addressing the Pentacostal Sabha (goodness TV) citing reasons for Christian - Muslim unity with the Communists and the SNDP. It was actually a Modi BJP hate speech. If League joins the LDF with even a section of the Sabha, that will be a winning combination for sure. The Congress will be then depleted and unless the BJP could encash that situation, there is no chance for any significant results.

Poor Pollock's understanding is limited to the European context, where Church and the King conspired where the Pope declared King as the God-authorized entity to rule over the subject. Pollock thinks it must be the same way in India and therefore thinks Brahmins must have colluded with the Indian Kings to legitimize his authority as God-given.

    Read about the Aesthetisation of power in Rajiv jis books and talks for the first time. And find it a fascinating and powerful idea. But I wonder, if this is true in the Indian context, was aesthetisation of power used by a section of the elites to control the Hindu masses... I am curious to know Rajiv ji's point of view on this. I see it happening in recent context, but did it really happen was it really used as a tool to control the masses by the elites? If yes, what should be our stand? Should we reject it? Or should we accept it just because it's from our culture and important for the unity of the Hindus?

    We once had a brief correspondence.My PhD from The American University in 1981 was on Frankfurt School..The title of the dissertation was,”The role of the critic and the logic of criticism in Hegel, Bruno Bauer and the Frankfurt School”. I supported Adorno from the Frankfurt School I his Critique of Heidegger. But then I was disillusioned with Adorno’s theme of criticism that shifts Marxism from the material to a cultural priority . You must understand the concept of negation in the west is one of thinking of negation as a conflict.You have to have some understanding of Hegel more than Vico.In fact the Italian Marxist Gramsci talks something similar and before tha Georgy Lukacs set the stage by writing on reifucation and class consciousness.In any case the Adorno, Horkheimer ,, Marcuse the backbone of Frankfurt school along with Horkheimer totally left Leninist Marxism Now the Frankfurt Marxists became armchair Marxists . The deep rooted hatred of negation and zero have a lot to do with this mindset. Elation is considered as evil and violent .It thus happens the that Marxian concept of alienation in Marx and of commodities in Lukacs , is not a eyed as negation intrinsically but only as a product of modes and relations of production.it is thus important to know the ontology of Frankfurt School.The Frankfurt School. Became an impotent theme for Marxists Marcus became theGuruof American left when I was in college, because he had basically turned against Leninism.in a nutshell The Frankfurt school is now merely a literary critic thing . New life was given to The Frankfurt School.we must criticize The Frankfurt School as a continuation The larger theme of the western philosophy is Aristotelian ,with no inductive logic, and it is here that the criticism will be most effective.my point is that th ontological criticism of Kant, the mother lode western philosophy that has deviated into so-called atheism without the bells and whistles of Mythology , it still holds dear its theme of exclusivity, and secondly of confusing narrative with truth.I am hoping to show someday that the Kantian paradigm needs to e debunked. And that is the mother lode, the ontological base lies there.

The Pollock guy is not the first or the last white devil to misinterpret and lie for their own propaganda. But if Rajiv ji's analysis of that guy is correct, then aesthetisization (nobody's scared of this word, Mr. Bollock) is what we've been subjected to by the Modi govt. and by every hindutvavadi, Indic renaissance supporting influencer, including Rajiv ji himself.

    The big deal is the false assumption (or, maybe, it's a deliberately created mischievous narrative) that there was a quid pro quo between Brahmanas and Kshatriyas. I don't know if Pollock himself believes in Marxist theories, but he definitely is weaponizing them against our civilization. Could it be because he is a closet racist or a Christian fanatic who can't tolerate the Hindu pagans and wants their civilization destroyed and their history distorted?

    Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit! I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins! I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father! There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you! They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God... Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask: "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen." 1 John 2:2 KJV 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Acts 13:26-33 KJV 26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.* 27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.* 28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.* 30 *But God raised him from the dead:* 31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,* 33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. John 14:6 KJV 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Mark 16:16 KJV 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. John 8:24 KJV 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Acts 2:38 KJV 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Luke 11:13 KJV 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? John 14:21-24 KJV 21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.* 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.* 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
