Beschreibung

Any discourse on Indian philosophy has to be taken out of the box in which it was confined for ages using obsolete methods for evaluating thinking patterns. In the traditional way of analysing Indian philosophy there was an inimical approach to each other between the philosophers and the philologists, and between the Sanskrit tradition-oriented philosophers and modern English/vernacular-based philosophers. This friction is evident in the hesitation of the traditionalists in giving philosophers like Daya Krishna and K.C. Bhattacharyya their due share.
The twelve essays in this volume address many a question about the characteristics of Indian philosophical traditions and Indian-ness. Indian philosophy is essentially not Sanskrit based alone, there is a significant contribution to it from the South Asian languages and English, and the cultures of the subcontinent. It attempts to provide provocative insights in sharing the author’s penetrative acumen both in his traditional and modern approaches to South Asian intellectual systems. It therefore addresses the prejudice between the East and the West, and traditional and modern, and the concerns of South Asian diaspora in the Western countries.
As far as this anthology is concerned, the icing on the cake is the Foreword by Dr Mrinal Kaul, who critically analyses the major developments taken place in the realm of Indian philosophy in the last few decades, critically appreciating the contents.

  • Redefining Racism - How Racism Became "Power + Prejudice" - cover

    Redefining Racism - How Racism...

    Have you heard that racism requires more than just prejudice, but also “power”? 
    Have you been told the dictionary definition of racism isn’t correct? 
    Where did this all come from? And why is it being taught at your school or workplace? 
    The rabbit hole goes deeper than you might have imagined. Joseph (Jake) Klein’s Redefining Racism tells the story of the group of radical white “anti-racist” corporate and high-school educators who in the late 1960s and early 70s, taking inspiration from the anti-integrationist Marxist-Leninist Stokely Carmichael, funded by an organization seeking to pay off rioters to stop, and using manipulative techniques developed in part by U.S. intelligence’s director of the “psychological warfare center for the Far East,” created and spread the “Power + Prejudice” redefinition. And the late famed crack-addicted serial bank robber “Zombie Bandit” played a role too. 
    In tracing the history of this redefinition, Redefining Racism also tells the story of the origins of “Racism Awareness Training,” today frequently called “diversity training,” in the tradition of Robin DiAngelo and White Fragility that have taken American corporations, schools, and universities by storm. 
    Redefining Racism is the definitive rebuttal for why racism is not best defined as “Power + Prejudice” and a damning origin story for much of the modern so-called “anti-racist” movement, reminding us why the best way to be an anti-racist is to look at the content of one’s character and not the color of their skin. 
    “For anyone genuinely committed to realizing an American future where race, racism, and ‘anti-racism,’ cease to be the tools used to divide us, this is an indispensable text. With Redefining Racism, Jake Klein has provided a national service.” — Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of Self-Portrait in Black and White and Losing My Cool

    The path to the attack on Pearl Harbor was paved by years of escalating tension between Japan, the United States, and other global powers. By the 1930s, Japan had increasingly pursued aggressive territorial expansion in Asia. The country sought to secure resources to fuel its growing industrial machine, leading to its invasion of China and the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This expansionist ideology put Japan on a collision course with Western powers, particularly the United States, who had significant economic interests in the Pacific region. 
      
    As Japan moved to solidify its dominance in Asia, the United States responded with growing concern and diplomatic opposition. American policymakers viewed Japan’s actions as a direct threat to regional stability and their own economic interests, especially in China and the Philippines. By the late 1930s, the United States had placed significant economic sanctions on Japan, including an oil embargo that severely limited Japan’s access to vital resources. The embargo further strained relations between the two nations, as Japan’s need for oil and raw materials became critical to its war machine. 
      
    In response, Japan’s leadership became more determined to secure access to Southeast Asia’s oil reserves. The Japanese government began to focus on expanding its influence over the Dutch East Indies, British Malaya, and other territories rich in natural resources. Japan’s growing militarism and its desire for expansion were met with an increasingly isolationist stance from the United States. The U.S. saw Japan’s actions as imperialistic, but its leaders were hesitant to directly intervene, largely due to the isolationist sentiments that permeated American politics following World War I.
