A lord among wise men and a wise man among the broads who form the mindless cultists hankering for Modi. The social science nomad, Shiv Visvanathan, rants and raves with such disdain for readerly comprehension that his best pieces are prose poems of angst from a quietly developing alternative class that grew with the currently feted middle class of India. I just love a man who can toss this into the middle of his column: “The sense of playfulness that democracy, as an agonal system provided, appears to have been eroded by banality.” With Ramchandra Guha, the ‘anthropologist among the Marxists’, Mukul Kesavan, Pratap Bhanu Singh and Deepankar Gupta, these should be prescribed reading for all members of India’s Youth Bulge. dailymail.co.uk/indiahome/indianews/article-2436711/India-obsessed-technocrats-writers-sustain-soul.html
