Vande Mataram and the Imagery of Bharat MataA N Tagore’s 1906 painting of Bharat Mata In his song Vande Mataram, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee has described the motherland as Bharat Mata who is endowed with the characteristics of Goddess Durga: O Mother, thou art love and faith, it is thy image we raise in every temple. For thou art Durga holding her ten weapons of war, Kamala at play in the lotuses And speech, the goddess, giver of all lore, to thee I bow! ~ (from Sri Aurobindo’s translation of Vande Mataram) In the early twentieth century, the Vande Mataram song inspired visual representations of Bharat Mata which depicted... read more

Lilly Singh on the Morning ShowI noticed Lilly Singh was on the Morning Show today talking about her new book. I saw it in the lunchroom at work on my break. I cut the cable years ago. I don't want to hate. I just want to put reality into perspective. Lilly Sing was a Canadian YouTube superstar who made it big in LA and got her own night show on NBC. I was thrilled for her. Sadly the narrative has taken over. Before getting her late night TV show she did a really funny YouTube video with the Rock. Everybody likes the Rock.

The Parliamentarian’s Curious Definition of “Merely Incidental”Now that Sens. Schumer and Manchin have reached agreement on the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Senate Parliamentarian’s role again comes to the fore. She will have two crucial functions. First, she will rule on which provisions on the agreed legislation meet the Congressional Budget Act’s requirements for inclusion in a “reconciliation” bill (the so-called “Byrd Rule”). This is crucial because, with united Republican opposition, the IRA can only pass through the narrow exemption from filibusters that the Act provides to budget reconciliation bills. And s... read more

All That I Ask Is That You Fight For Peace TodayThe fragility of Europe’s energy supply has once again been on display in recent months. Gas shipments through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which runs from Russia to Germany, were reduced to 40% of capacity in June, a cut that Moscow said was due to delays in the servicing of a turbine by the German firm Siemens. Shortly thereafter, on 11 July, the pipeline was taken offline for ten days for annual routine maintenance. Despite receiving assurances from Moscow that the supply would resume as scheduled, European leaders expressed fears that the shutdown would continue indefinitely in ... read more
