What Indeed Is My Larger Identity, What Vision My Tradition Has of Me & What Vision I Have of My Motherland??? In light of the answer to the questions above (actually just one compact Q) do I brook torment and aggression, political or military? Below is one of the acceptable visions of our motherland personified, not what one poster artist painted and the cine buffs and cintz intellectuals went gaga over. (Another story that the lions were unleashed before long.) The other is that of the lute-playing Bharatee, aka Saraswati. This is also the land of fine learning, where all learning, all arts culminate in self-knowledge, in the art of living life so that extricating oneself from it (life) is a glorious transition. [That is the otherworldliness of this ethos, of the quintessential Indic tradition -- lest anyone make the mistake of wondering, what then is Kamasutra about?] Fine learning and roaring counter to any aggression.
