This very fact shows that different knowledge systems can be build on the same reality based on different possibilities and patterns of fragmentation.Badri described such language as "the best way to drive people away," and I couldn't agree more. It sounds suspiciously like postmodernism, and I wonder if the Lok Paritran chaps have a nonsense-ideology generator similar to this. Some of them are from the IITs, a fact they've taken pains to advertise, but they're hardly going to reach out to people with rubbish like this. And they're giving the IITs a bad name.
