A Nobel Laureate offers a dazzling new book about his native country
India is a country with many distinct traditions, widely divergent customs, vastly different convictions, and a veritable feast of viewpoints. In The Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen draws on a lifetime study of his country's history and culture to suggest the ways we must understand India today in the light of its rich, long argumentative tradition.
The millenia-old texts and interpretations of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim, agnostic, and atheistic Indian thought demonstrate, Sen reminds us, ancient and well-respected rules for conducting debates and disputations, and for appreciating not only the richness of India's diversity but its need for toleration.
Though Westerners have often perceived India as a place of endless spirituality and unreasoning mysticism, he underlines its long tradition of skepticism and reasoning, not to mention its secular contributions to mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, medicine, and political economy.
Sen discusses many aspects of India's rich intellectual and political heritage, including philosophies of governance from Kautilya's and Ashoka's in the fourth and third centuries BCE to Akbar's in the 1590s; the history and continuing relevance of India's relations with China more than a millennium ago; its old and well-organized calendars; the films of Satyajit Ray and the debates between Gandhi and the visionary poet Tagore about India's past, present, and future.
The success of India's democracy and defense of its secular politics depend, Sen argues, on understanding and using this rich argumentative tradition. It is also essential to removing the inequalities (whether of caste, gender, class, or community) that mar Indian life, to stabilizing the now precarious conditions of a nuclear-armed subcontinent, and to correcting what Sen calls the politics of deprivation. His invaluable book concludes with his meditations on pluralism, on dialogue and dialectics in the pursuit of social justice, and on the nature of the Indian identity.

Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity

These essays on India were written over the last decade -- about half of them over the last couple of years. The first four, which make up the first part of the collection, introduce and explain the principal themes pursued in this book, related to India's long argumentative tradition.
India is an immensely diverse country with many distinct pursuits, vastly disparate convictions, widely divergent customs and a veritable feast of viewpoints. Any attempt to talk about the culture of the country, or about its past history or contemporary politics, must inescapably involve considerable selection. I need not, therefore, labour the point that the focus on the argumentative tradition in this work is also a result of choice. It does not reflect a belief that this is the only reasonable way of thinking about the history or culture or politics of India. I am very aware that there are other ways of proceeding.
The selection of focus here is mainly for three distinct reasons: the long history of the argumentative tradition in India, its contemporary relevance, and its relative neglect in ongoing cultural discussions. It can in addition be claimed that the simultaneous flourishing of many different convictions and viewpoints in India has drawn substantially on the acceptance -- explicitly or by implication -- of heterodoxy and dialogue. The reach of Indian heterodoxy is remarkably extensive and ubiquitous.
Consider the politically charged issue of the role of so-called 'ancient India' in understanding the India of today. In contemporary politics, the enthusiasm for ancient India has often come from the Hindutva movement -- the promoters of a narrowly Hindu view of Indian civilization -- who have tried to separate out the period preceding the Muslim conquest of India (from the third millennium BCE to the beginning of the second millennium CE). In contrast, those who take an integrationist approach to contemporary India have tended to view the harking back to ancient India with the greatest of suspicion. For example, the Hindutva activists like invoking the holy Vedas, composed in the second millennium BCE, to define India's 'real heritage'. They are also keen on summoning the Ramayana, the great epic, for many different purposes, from delineating Hindu beliefs and convictions to finding alleged justification for the forcible demolition of a mosque -- the Babri masjid -- that is situated at the very spot where the 'divine' Rama, it is claimed, was born. The integrationists, by contrast, have tended to see the Vedas and the Ramayana as unwelcome intrusions of some specific Hindu beliefs into the contemporary life of secular India.
The integrationists are not wrong to questions the factional nature of the choice of 'Hindu classics' over other products of India's long and diverse history. They are also right to point to the counterproductive role that such partisan selection can play in the secular, multi-religious life of today's India. Even though more than 80 per cent of Indians may be Hindu, the country has a very large Muslim population (the third largest among all the countries in the world -- larger than the entire British and French populations put together), and a great many followers of other faiths: Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Parsees and other.
However, even after noting the need for integration and for a multicultural perspective, it has to be accepted that these old books and narratives have had an enormous influence on Indian literature and thought. They have deeply influenced literary and philosophical writings on the one hand, and folk traditions of storytelling and critical dialectics on the other. The difficulty does not lie in the importance of the Vedas or the Ramayana, but in the understanding of their role in Indian culture. When the Muslim Pathan rulers of Bengal arranged for making good Bengali translations of the Sanskrit Mahabbarata and Ramayana in the fourteenth century (on which see Essay 3), their enthusiasm for the ancient Indian epics reflected their love of culture, rather than any conversion to Hinduism.[1] It would be as difficult to ignore their general importance in Indian culture (on some allegedly 'secular' ground) as it would be to insist on viewing them through the narrow prism of a particularly raw version of Hindu religiosity.
The Vedas may be full of hymns and religious invocations, but they also tell stories, speculate about the world and -- true to the argumentative propensity already in view -- ask difficult questions. A basic doubt concerns the very creation of the word: did someone make it, was it a spontaneous emergence, and is there a God who knows what really happened? As is discussed in Essay I, the Rigveda goes on to express radical doubts on these issues: 'Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?â??perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not -- the one who looks down on it, in the highest heaven, only he knows -- or perhaps he does not know.' These doubts from the second millennium BCE would recur again and again in India's long argumentative history, along with a great many other questions about epistemology and ethics (as is discussed in Essay I). They survive side by side with intense religious beliefs and deeply respectful faith and devotion.
Similarly, the adherents of Hindu politics -- especially those who are given to vandalizing places of worship of other religions -- may take Rama to be divine, but in much of the Ramayana, Rama is treated primarily as a hero-a great 'epic hero' -- with many good qualities and some weaknesses, including a tendency to harbour suspicions about his wife Sita's faithfulness. A pundit who gets considerable space in the Ramayana, called Javali, not only does not treat Rama as God, he calls his actions 'foolish' ('especially for', as Javali puts it, 'an intelligent and wise man'). Before he is persuaded to withdraw his allegations, Javali gets time enough in the Ramayana to explain in detail that 'there is no after-world, nor any religious practice for attaining that', and that 'the injunctions about the worship of gods, sacrifice, gifts and penance have been laid down in the sabar;stras (scriptures) by clever people, just to rule over (other) people.'* The problem with invoking the Ramayana to propagate a reductionist account of Hindu religiosity lies in the way the spic is deployed for this purpose -- as a document of supernatural veracity, rather than as 'a marvellous parable' (as Rabindranath Tagore describes it) and a widely enjoyed part o India's cultural heritage.
The roots of scepticism in India go back a long way, and it would be hard to understand the history of Indian culture if scepticism were to be jettisoned. Indeed, the resilient reach of the tradition of dialectics can be felt throughout Indian history, even as conflicts and wars have led to much violence. Given the simultaneous presence of dialogic encounters and bloody battles in India's past, the tendency to concentrate only on the latter would miss something of real significance.
It is indeed important to understand the long tradition of accepted heterodoxy in India. In resisting the attempts by the Hindutva activists to capture ancient India as their home ground (and to see it as the unique cradle of Indian civilization), it is not enough to point out that India has many sources culture as well. It is necessary also to see how much heterodoxy there has been in Indian thoughts and beliefs from very early days. Not only did Buddhists, Jains, agnostics and atheists compete with each other and with adherents of what we now call Hinduism (a much later term) in the India of the first millennium BCE, but also the dominant religion in India was Buddhism for nearly a thousand years. The Chinese in the first millennium CE standardly referred to India as 'the Buddhist kingdom' (the far-reaching effects of the Buddhist connections between the two largest countries in the world are discussed in Essay 8). Ancient India cannot be fitted into the narrow box where the Hindutva activists want to incarcerate it.
It was indeed a Buddhist emperor of India, Ashoka, who, in the third Century BCE, not only outlined the need for toleration and the richness of heterodoxy, but also laid down what are perhaps the oldest rules for conducting debates and disputations, with the opponents being 'duly honoured in every way on all occasions'. That political principle figures a great deal in later discussions in India, but the most powerful defence of toleration and of the need for the state to be equidistant from different religions came from a Muslim Indian emperor, Akbar. This was of course much later, but those principles of religious toleration, enunciated in the I590s, were still early enough at a time when the inquisition was in full swing in Europe.
The contemporary relevance of the dialogic tradition and of the acceptance of heterodoxy is hard to exaggerate. Discussions and arguments are critically important for democracy and public reasoning. They are central to the practice of secularism and for even-handed treatment of adherents of different religious faiths (including those who have no religious beliefs). Going beyond these basic structural priorities, the argumentative tradition, if used with deliberation and commitment, can also be extremely important in resisting social inequalities and in removing poverty and deprivation. Voice is a crucial component of the pursuit of social justice.
It is sometimes asserted that the use of dialectics is largely confined to the more affluent and more literate, and is thus of no value to the common people. The elitism that is rampant in such a belief is not only extraordinary, it is made more exasperating through the political cynicism and impassivity it tends to encourage. The critical voice is the traditional ally of the aggrieved, and participation in arguments is a general opportunity, not a particularly specialized skill (like composing sonnets or performing trapeze acts).
Just before the Indian general elections in the spring of 2004, when I visited a Bengali village not far from my own home, I was told by a villager, who was barely literate and certainly very poor: 'It is not very hard to silence us, but that is not because we cannot speak.' Indeed, even though the recording and preservation of arguments tend to be biased in the direction of the articulations of the powerful and the well schooled, many of the most interesting accounts of arguments from the past involve members of disadvantaged groups (as is discussed in Essays 1 and 2).
The nature and strength of the dialogic tradition in India is sometimes ignored because of the much championed belief that India is the land of religions, the country of uncritical faiths and unquestioned practices. Some cultural theorists, allegedly 'highly sympathetic', are particularly keen on showing the strength of the faith-based and unreasoning culture of India and the East, in contrast with the 'shallow rationalism' and scientific priorities of the West. This line of argument may well be inspired by sympathy, but it can end up suppressing large parts of India's intellectual heritage. In this pre-selected 'East -- West' contrast, meetings are organized, as it were, between Aristotle and Euclid on the one hand, and wise and contented Indian peasants on the other. This is not, of course, an uninteresting exercise, but it is not pre-eminently a better way of understanding the 'East -- West' cultural contrast than by arranging meetings between, say, Aryabhata (the mathematician) and Kautilya (the political economist) on the one hand, and happily determined Visigoths on the other. If the immediate motivation for this book is social and political understanding in India, it has, I believe, some relevance also for the way the classification of the cultures of the world has become cemented into a shape that pays little or no attention to a great deal of our past and present.[2]
The four essays in Part I outline the nature, reach and relevance of the argumentative tradition in India. This includes, as is particularly discussed in Essays 1 and 2, the part that pluralism and the dialogic tradition play in supporting democracy, secularism and the pursuit of mathematics and science, and the use that can be made of dialectics in seeking social justice, against the barriers of class, caste, community and gender. Essay 3 discusses the relevance of a capacious understanding of a large and heterodox India, contrasted with the drastically downsized view of the country that appeals to some religious activists, who combine it with a severely miniaturized understanding of Hinduism.[3] These discussions have relevance, as is discussed in Essay 4, for the way Indian identity can be understood, and the diagnostic issues are relevant not only for Indians in India but also for the large (at least 20 million strong) Indian diaspora across the world.
The essays in Part II deal with the role of communication in the development and understanding of cultures. The discussions in Essays 5 and 6 try to follow and to develop the insights on this subject that emerge from the works of the visionary poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore and the great film director Satyajit Ray. The emergence of difference versions of 'imagined India' in Western perceptions is investigated in Essay 7, along with the impact that these misconceptions, in turn, have had on the way Indians have tended to see themselves in the colonial or post-colonial period. Essay 8 is devoted to examining the close and extensive intellectual relations (covering science, mathematics, engineering, literature, music, and public health care and administration) that China and India had -- along with religion and trade -- for a thousand years, beginning in the early part of the first millennium, and the lessons that emerge from all this for contemporary China and India.
Part III is concerned with the politics of deprivation (poverty, class and caste divisions, gender inequality) and with the precariousness of human security in the subcontinent as a result of the development of nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan. Essays 9-12 investigate what has happened and is happening right now, and what issues can appropriately be taken up for critical examination.
[1] As is also discussed in Essay 3, the first translation of the Upanisads -- the most philosophical part of the Vedic Hindu literature -- that caught the attention of European intellectuals was the Persian translation produced in the seventeenth century by the Moghal prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son (and legitimate heir) of Emperor Shah Jahan and of Mumtaz Mahal (the beautiful queen on whose tomb the Taj Mahal would be built). Dara was killed by his more sectarian brother, Aurangzeb, to seize the Moghal throne.
* See Essays I and 3 for fuller discussions of these and other examples of ancient scepticism and dialogic combats.
[2] I was impressed to find, on arriving at Harvard in the late 1980s, that all books on India in the bookshop of the famous 'Harvard Coop' were kept in the section called 'Religions'.
[3] In my Foreword to the reissue of my grandfather K. M. Sen's book on Hinduism (London: Penguin Books, 2005), I discuss the different ways in which that capacious religion can be seen.

Biometric Authentication Might Come to Some Ubuntu Phones in Future OTAsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 8th of June 2016 04:29:05 AM Filed under
Now that most of the Ubuntu Phone and Ubuntu Tablet owners are enjoying the new features implemented by the Canonical's Ubuntu Touch developers in the OTA-11 update released last week, it's time to look forward to the OTA-12.

BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Tablet Review: In-DepthSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Monday 6th of June 2016 05:28:01 PM Filed under
Back in February, BQ and Ubuntu announced that they'd joined forces to create the Aquaris M10 Tablet, the first 10.1-inch device to run Ubuntu OS. With the ability to quickly transform from a handheld touch tablet to a full-on desktop computer, the M10 has something different to offer users; and let's be clear on this, the M10 is a tablet for developers and fellow geeks, not the average consumer. If you want something to watch movies, play games and browse the web on, you'll be much better serviced elsewhere.
So, how is the first Ubuntu tablet experience? Here's our Aquaris M10 review.

Linux Mint 18 beta "just around the corner"
Ubuntu Phone used by 60+ year oldsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 5th of June 2016 10:38:23 AM Filed under
Overall, BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Phone fared decently in the hands of people who probably constitute the least prioritized demographic for the development and product teams over at BQ and Canonical. Essentially, this is still a beta nerd toy, and yet, it didn't draw hatred or anger with the unlikely pair of victims. In fact, that is probably the highest accolade one can pile on a brand new device trying to edge its way into a shark-infested, saturated market of mobile providers.
It's not perfect, and my tech-savvy eyes sees far more faults than a casual user, which is often how it is. That also explains why you cannot really fully trust techies to review products, not unless they can disassociate their geeky knowledge from the end-user mission. For most people, this means good sound quality, good signal reception, the ability to call and message and chat and whatnot, the ability to take some photos and videos and share them with their friends, and a few other simple things like that. It's not about glamor and quad-core computation and touch screen crystal density. I always try to take this stance, but to be triple-sure, I let my generic progenitors roadtest the Ubuntu Phone and give their own verdict. A true, practical, down-to-earth judgment sans any touch Utopia nonsense.
Anyhow, the Ubuntu Phone isn't a bad product really. This is a good start. A very good start. However, the devil is in the fine details. And money is in the applications and the seamless integration among all aspects of online and media. So I'd focus there, to make sure that Ubuntu users can enjoy music and video and buy stuff without having to go through any hoops and loops that iOS or Android users need not to. That's how this little thing will guarantee its survival and eventual success. Because largely, the actual platform is irrelevant. But then, throw in Convergence, and Ubuntu has an awesome opportunity to be a truly all-spectrum operating system, ahead of all the rest. Even Microsoft. Fingers crossed. We're done here. Stay tuned for more fun.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 139 reviews
Highly recommend this hotel. Thought breakfast was a little weak. All else exceeded expectations!
Air conditioning was broken in room and after totally unpacking I had to repack and move to another room that had really bad fung shui. In the move process I left behind a personal item and called the front desk for help. No luck. Tried again before departing and staff had found it and tucked it away. Not at all helpful but it worked out because of my persistence. The breakfast was the same old low quality continental, chemically laden, high sugar garbage that all chains serve. For $250 a night I thought we would get something better, but that is how it goes in Jackson Hole due to its proximity to Yellowstone. I had a bad night's sleep. I thought the bed was hard. Enjoyed the kitchenette. One stool for counter was missing.
We were looking forward to staying at the White Buffalo, expecting an upscale facility with a nice clean and comfortable room for a week long stay. When we arrived at the hotel our first impression was that the much-heralded breakfast area was small, worn and relatively bleak. The hallway to the room was dark and smelled badly. When we opened the door to the room, we found that it had not been cleaned properly....dirt and debris on the floor, toilet soiled and unclean, furniture worn and chipped and a general feeling of lack of cleanliness. The room was small and dark and not at all what we were led to expect from the online persona. We immediately went to the front desk and let them know we were not happy and did not want to stay. To Management's credit, they listened to our concerns and graciously returned our deposit and cancelled our reservation. We found accommodations very close by that were more in line with our expectations.
Great place to stay central to town square.
This was our 2nd stay at the hotel. the last being almost 4 years ago. The hotel is starting to show it's age. The breakfast was listed as hot, and made to order. It was neither(continental). There was a lamp in our room that presented a safety hazard(improper bulb caused the lamp switch to burn our finger when turning off.) The parking is substandard, with parts of the garages being used for storage. The rooms are spacious, and include complimentary laundry in the rooms, including laundry detergent. This stay turned out to be a huge disappointment.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Short Film: R2-D2 Adorably Falls In Love With A Blue Mailbox
Say it with me: Awwwww. In a story that's a little like the first hour of Wall-E, this short film, Artoo In Love by Evan Atherton, tells a cute love story of R2-D2 and a blue mailbox. R2 starts holding picnics with it, zaps away people who want to mail things and holds an umbrella over its head when it rains.

A third of Big Issue vendors are now from eastern Europe, magazine founder reveals
- Big Issue founder John Bird claims most are from Roma communities
- He says selling the Big Issue is one of the few ways they can make money
- Mr Bird criticised the former Labour government for opening up freedom of movement in the UK to residents of all EU countries
- His comments come after David Cameron vowed to veto plans to expand the EU's borders unless reforms crack down on 'benefit tourism'
- But Nick Clegg has pledged to block curbs on immigration from the EU
One in three homeless Big Issue sellers are now from eastern Europe, the founder has revealed.
John Bird, himself a former offender who lived on the streets, set up the publication in 1991 to help homeless people earn some money from selling the magazine.
But Mr Bird has revealed that less and less British people are now living rough and a third of vendors are now migrants from poorer European countries.
Statistics: One in three Big Issue homeless vendors are now from eastern European countries
Of those, he said the majority are from Roma communities who are escaping lives of 'feral poverty' in their own countries.
But Mr Bird added that the Big Issue is still vital for helping the homeless make an income - wherever they may be from.
He told The Sunday Times: 'Don't slag The Big Issue off because we are working with east Europeans.
First-hand experience: Big Issue founder John Bird was once a former offender who lived on the streets
'What would you have them do? You are not going to offer them a legal job. Take the attitude the police have: thank God you have offered people who might have got into trouble the legal means to make money.'
Mr Bird also said he raised concerns when the Labour government first decided to open up freedom of movement in the UK to residents of other EU countries.
'I said, "Don't open the sluice gates to the ferally poor — go to their countries and help them earn their way into an economy which is more equal". But I was accused of being a fascist.'
Mr Bird's comments come as Nick Clegg has pledged to block any fresh attempts to curb immigration from the European Union.
The Deputy Prime Minister dismissed Home Office proposals for a 75,000 cap on EU migrants as 'pointless' and claimed without freedom of movement the National Health Service would 'fall over'.
His statement follows David Cameron's warning just a few days ago, that he would veto further expansion of the union's borders unless reforms were agreed to crack down on 'benefit tourism'.
A ban on EU migrants claiming out-of-work benefits from the moment they arrive in the UK is also being rushed through Parliament to be in place in time for the January 1 lifting of access restrictions on Bulgarian and Romanian nationals.
Migrants from all EU states will have to wait for three months before applying for jobseeker's allowance (JSA) and other out-of-work benefits.
Vital: Mr Bird added that the Big Issue is providing a vital service - giving homeless migrants one of the few legal ways to make an income

Deal with encroachment on Wakf properties: Gadkari to PM
New Delhi: In a bid to reach out to the
minorities, BJP President Nitin Gadkari today wrote a letter
to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that his government
take steps to deal with encroachments on Wakf properties.
"It is my request to you to take effective steps to free
all Wakf properties which have been encroached across the
country so that these can be used for welfare measures which
the Muslim community needs today," Gadkari said in his letter.
He further stated that he has directed BJP-ruled states
to take the needed steps in this direction at the earliest and
hoped that the Central government would do so too.
Gadkari`s letter to the PM is being seen as a move to
strengthen the party`s minority base, especially after his
statement after taking charge of the party`s affairs in
December that he wanted to increase the party votebank by 10
per cent and the minorities formed a major target group in
this task.
The BJP leader said in the letter that there are five
lakh Wakfs across the country and the total area falling under
the organisation is around six lakh acres. He added, 50 years
back, the cost of Wakf properties was estimated to be around
Rs 5,000 crore.
Sachar Committee has estimated these properties to be
worth Rs 1.20 lakh crore now," Gadkari said in the letter.
The BJP President pointed out that if freed, these
properties or the money derived from sale of any of them can
be used to finance education of students from the minority
community, building community centres and lodges, maintaining
dargahs and cemetries, providing funds for widows, and other
Giving a suggestion, Gadkari said these properties should
be exempt from the Rent Control Act so that they become more

I went up to Frisco on Saturday night to see the Texas Legends play, something I do from time to time. I am not as familiar with the goings-on of the Dallas Mavericks' NBA Developmental League affiliate as I am with the Mavericks — or a lot of things, really. As soon as I walked into Dr Pepper Arena, I saw Paul Sturgess running through some drills on the court. Because there was no real way I couldn't see Sturgess. He is 7-foot-8, the tallest professional basketball player in the world. The former Harlem Globetrotter didn't play in the game. He didn't even dress, actually. But he is prominently featured in the team's in-arena marketing. Can he play? He was more skilled than I might have figured — he had a decent touch tossing alley-oop passes from the free throw line, and he moves decently. Also, he can dunk without jumping. Will he make the NBA? I'd say I doubt it, but Shawn Bradley played for a fairly long time, so I suppose anything is possible.

I think you need 1 LP and go to the furniture shop and go to decorations and go right and find the paintings with the red thingy in the right bottom corner and buy it. Put it in your home somewhere and tap it. then you will see and hear a ghost then tap the painting then select search for ghosts and then have fun! By the way the more spooky furniture with the red ghost in the corner the more rare ghosts you will find then you can take pics!
