  • Thank you.

    read political theory and history

    Which books other than the one that you mentioned(thanks for that), would you recommend? Introductory ones that are modern/contemporary, if possible.
    I’ve been recommended State & rev and I have read it, but it seems that eventhough I get the idea, I don’t have the foundation and context(didn’t understand who all the people mentioned in it are) to fully understand it. Maybe I need to reread it.

    Are there any books that you’d recommend about organising and the associated skills/strategy needed for it?

    Could I ask a related question:
    In my place I’m seeing communal polarisation increasing. Or it is becoming more evident. How would one oppose that in a populace where religion and caste hold good sway, without the opposition giving it more power accidently?
    I’ve seen leftist n leftish organisations being affected by this.



  • Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery.

    People of all religions have contributed to scientific growth.

    The average religious person and the person discovering scientific/mathematical stuff are generally different tho.
    Universal basic education has gained focus in many parts of the world, only relatively recently.

    I think improved scientific temper would obviously clash with many mainstresm religions.

    Presence of some supreme creator may not be proven or disproven, but I think the anti-evolution stuff and similar things in most mainstream religions would face more questions when scientific temper improves.

    And I’m not saying that non-religious people are safe from similar stuff too. Just that it is easily spread and maintained when you have a community on it.
