    Thank you so much for the book recommendation. I read A room of one's own and men's search for meaning after listening to you. I was ignorant of the literary world earlier. I take note of every book and author that you mention.

      The traditional notions of carrying the patriarchy forward in case a male heir is not present, or is assassinated... along discourse is present in the book.

    Why should anyone agree with his definition of modernity?

    This book/ video isn't just a piece on gravitas of good literature but a guiding line for the major think tanks and consultants of Social Reform in INDIA!

    Great Video ! Mistaken Modernity by Dipankar Gupta is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding India from a sociological perspective. The insightful analysis challenges the superficial markers of modernity in India, revealing how deep-rooted traditional values often undermine true progress. This book offers an exploration of the complexities of Indian society, highly recommended for those seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the country's social fabric.

      "deep-rooted traditional values often undermine true progress"
      Well then how do you explain the case of West Bengal and Kerala, the two most economically and morally bankrupt states with great infestation of religious fundamentalist terror, even after discarding Hindu nationalism and adopting Western secular humanism? The Hindutva state of Gujrat is far more "developed" than these two in your definition of development.

    Hey will you also review the book "India, that is Bharat" by J Sai Deepak which is also related to this theme of modernity?

    sorry for my request sir..but i am reading hesse's Glass bead game & facing very tough time while reading and understanding the allegory...could you pls make a dedicated vdo on that or could give me any piece of advice if possible.
    thanks!

      That is Hesse's magnum opus. In order to read the magnum opus of a writer, Glass bead in case of Hesse or Brothers Karamazov in case of Dostoyevsky, you need to prepare yourself first by reading the precursor to their works, the themes that they have developed over time and all that.
      For Glass bead you need to be aware of the whole Hesse-Jungian tradition and the themes of self-exploration that both of these writers expounded.
      I am posting some links below that may help -
      Lastly, you can first read these books in this order to finally get to know the Glass Bead-
      Siddhartha
      Narcissus and Goldmund
      Peter Camazind
      Demian
      Steppenwolf
      The Glass Bead

      I find poems, books of aphorisms, and Osho's books, very travel-friendly.
      You may try Imagist Poetry(Dover Publications), Peter Camazind by Hesse, Book of simple living , Rains in the mountains by R Bond, Path ke Pradeep by Osho.
