One of the most profound and penetrative exponents of Indic Civilization Sri Sri Ravishankar once said that the rulers should never get satisfied and the intellectuals should ever get frustrated.
In the latter spirit, one of the committed crusaders for the Indic Cause, Prof. Madhu Kishwar issued a set of 10 tweets highlighting a peculiar situation of intellectual entrapment for the forces of the Indic Civilization, which leads to the loss of gained grounds.
A bit hard-hitting but coming from a devout empathizer like Prof. Kishwar, it's worth giving a patient and open consideration given the fact that the current disposition is facing a kind of an intellectual coup from various quarters despite a stellar ground as well as global performance.

The organizational machinery of the party in power comprising of a committed army of volunteers enthused by the charismatic mission of the Prime Minister and disciplined by the Party President, helped crossing the hurdle of electoral victory which is going on and on.
The unparalleled commitment & relentless striving to deliver has also set the Governmental Machinery duly in order which is working like never before and producing results.
However, very little emphasis & effort has gone out towards creating a sound intellectual defense for its due advancement in a spirit resounding the indigenous civilizational ethos.
The entire gang of anti-Indic coterie has somewhere colluded and stood in unison and is embarking on a set of well coordinated attacks on the Indian Establishment. A concerted, consistent and constant effort is going on to question the democratic legitimacy of the current formulation. Stray incidents are being projected the central national level discourse.
This is hinted by Prof. Kishwar in her observation that the earlier dispositions governed by opposing political forces used to do the dirtiest of the deeds but would cleverly use pious, rhetoric and would go on to pamper the dominant intellectual noises to remain on its side.
Her biggest concern is of the utter innocuousness of the representatives of party in power who tend to get entrapped even for the dirty deeds done by others. As per her observations, they fall in the vicious trap laid out by the opposing camp and
shirk winning over these very intellectuals.
She tends to unravel the smart design of the opposing political forces which mandate their tribe of intellectuals not to defend overtly. It's just enough if you demonize their main rival.
Prof. Kishwar's pain get candid when she says that the party in power lets talented people in its own ranks rot & instead allows incompetents or loose cannons to become its public faces. The lack of a coherent policy makes the situations duly grim.
She builds up her argument further that the opposing political forces tend to hire high brow intellectuals to define a rhetorical agenda as a cover for real agenda. Despite pursuing a real agenda vigorously, the current disposition is being blockaded on tricky moral grandstanding.
She goes on further to allege that while being even in power the party in power fails to lead the public discourse due to the lack of intellectual firepower.
The Prime Minister led the national narrative for a while, before it just got hijacked over a series of unconnected incidents so well expounded in utmost synchronization.
Prof. Kishwar laments on the fact that the party in power ends up taking daily abuse in media, while the opposing powers of the day have been successful in building up an utterly false narrative of "dissent being crushed worse than Emergency".
Prof. Kishwar gets concerned about the supposed loss of friends/supporters in the country,at the very time when India has made significant strides on the global frontier emerging as a power to reckon with.
Her observation that a regime's legitimacy depends not only on votes but also by the intellectual narrative around it, which in her purview has not got built up considerably.
She might be sounding a bit apocalyptic, but being a well wisher and an ardent adherent of the Indic way of life, of which the current political disposition is considered to be the dominant guarding force, her brick-bats need to be taken up in the right earnest and a strong fort of an intellectual defence of Indic civilization be erected.
