From Bhavani Mandir, Sri Aurobindo reflects on india’s struggle — vast in potential yet weakened by the loss of shakti. He urges the awakening of strength and energy, without which the nation remains vulnerable. #PLF #bhavanimandir #shakti #India #bharatmata #spiritualindia

#PLF2024 . "They became us" — a myth, says @vikramsampath. From Turushka Danda to the famine under Shah Jahan, the history we’re told often hides what really mattered. #indianhistory #truthofhistory #mughalrule #turushka #hinducivilisation #hiddenhistory #decolonizeminds

#PLF2024 . @6amiji challenges the modern "woke" lens and identity politics surrounding Karna's portrayal. Often seen as a hero of the marginalized, Karna in the Mahabharata actually expresses deeply casteist view. #Mahabharat #Karna #Hero #IndianEpic #History #castepolitics

#PLF2024 . @vikramsampath likens #biography writing to falling in love—driven by passion, curiosity, and connection. Yet, when it's time to write, the biographer must step back and stay objective. Without that distance, it risks becoming a hagiography, not #History.
