“Dharma chara raajniti, pashabik tandav.
Raajniti chara dharma, kandogyan hinota.”

Closest english translation would be:

“Politics without Dharma turns into a beastly rampage of power.
Dharma without politics becomes wisdom that lacks practical judgment.”

When I was in middle school, I often sat quietly in the corner of our living room listening to my father and his friends argue about philosophy, politics, and the world. The conversations were intense, intellectual, sometimes even heated.

My father, who passed away in 2023, was known among his circle for his deep philosophical mind. Back then I mostly listened, trying to keep up. There was one Bengali line he used to repeat during those debates that completely went over my head.

Today, looking at the world around us, I finally understand the staggering power of what he meant.

He would say:

“Dharma chara raajniti, pashabik tandav.
Raajniti chara dharma, kandogyan hinota.”

What he captured in that simple line was something profound about human civilization—the fragile balance between morality and power.

Our ancient epics understood this long before modern geopolitics.

The Mahabharata is not merely a story of good versus evil. It is a profound reflection on Rajdharma—the moral responsibility of those who hold power. Arjuna hesitates on the battlefield out of moral anguish, yet Krishna reminds him that abandoning duty in the name of moral confusion can allow injustice to triumph. Power must act—but it must act with Dharma.

The Ramayana offers another expression of the same truth. Rama represents Dharma, yet even he must wield power to confront Ravana’s tyranny. Righteousness alone was not enough; it required action, leadership, and the courage to confront evil.

Both epics understood a reality that still defines our world: morality without strength becomes helpless, and power without morality becomes destructive.

Look around today’s geopolitical landscape.

Across continents we are witnessing the pashabik tandav my father warned about—wars where cities turn to rubble, civilians become statistics, and human lives are reduced to collateral damage in the pursuit of power. When politics detaches itself from Dharma, strategy easily becomes cruelty disguised as necessity.

But we also see the other side of his warning.

International institutions issue moral condemnations and ethical declarations. Yet without the political leverage, strategic capability, or collective will to enforce them, those ideals often remain powerless.

That is the kandogyan hinota he spoke about—morality that knows what is right but lacks the wisdom to translate it into action.

India’s civilizational thought has wrestled with this balance for millennia. The idea of Rajdharma insists that leadership must combine ethical purpose with the strength and courage to exercise power responsibly.

As India navigates an increasingly volatile world order, this balance becomes even more crucial. A nation cannot rely solely on cold, amoral realpolitik. But neither can it survive on detached idealism.

True leadership lies in synthesizing the two—power guided by Dharma.

My father is no longer here to sit in that living room and debate these ideas.

But his words remain.

The central struggle of humanity has always been the same: to prevent power from becoming a beast, and to give morality the strength to shape the world.

What once sounded like a cryptic Bengali phrase in my childhood now feels like a timeless law of civilization.

It was true in the living room where I first heard it.

It is true on the battlefields of today.

And it will remain true long after us.

Joined Twitter in June 2009 — mostly to source talent when I was working as a recruiter.

Over the years, I followed people, learned from industry voices, and posted occasionally… but never really used this platform fully.

That changes now.

I’m going to start sharing my thoughts openly — unfiltered, unpolished, and without worrying about agreement or approval.

Also, I’ll be speaking more about North-East India. I’m from the North-East, and there are stories, perspectives, and realities that deserve more space in the conversation.

Just thoughts as they come. Let’s see where this goes.

Respected HMO @AmitShah ji, Delhi Police is under you 🙏

Please look at and listen to this mother’s pain at least once.

And order a full encounter of the killers of Tarun, who was killed only because he was a Hindu. ✍️

After watching half of the video, I could not bring myself to watch any further.

It is extremely… painful. 😥

@DelhiPolice what’s the status of the FIR? Were you able to arrest the son of the custom officer and the lady? @rashtrapatibhvn @BJP4Delhi @NCWIndia @KirenRijiju

[Suraj Kumar Bauddh @SurajKrBauddh]

"You are a sex worker…" 🚨❌

"Go & taste my husband. My bed is open." 🚨

North East UPSC aspirant girls in New Delhi were hurled with racist slurs like "sex worker," "momo," "parlour lady," and "drug addict..".

Savarna couple, Harsh Singh and Ruby, kept passing racial slurs. The wife even threatened them, claiming her husband is the son of a customs officer with political connections.

This kind of racial discrimination is intolerable. Just months ago, Angel Chakma, a student from the North East, was lynched after being called "Chinky," "Chinese," and "Momo."

If people from the North East are treated like this in the national capital, even in front of police, where are they safe?

Strict action is needed. Harsh Singh and his wife Ruby Jain must be arrested immediately. No one is allowed to humiliate NE citizens under the guise of being local, savarna, officer, or having political connections.

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

Indian stock exchanges are closed today for Mumbai's municipal elections.

The fact that our exchanges, which have international linkages, are shut down for a local municipal election shows poor planning and a serious lack of appreciation for second-order effects.

As Munger said: "Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome."
The holiday exists because no one who matters has any incentive to oppose the market holiday.

It also tells you how far we have to go before global investors take us seriously.
