EVOLUTION RELOADED: A NEW APPROACH TO SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF EVOLUTION

Available on Google Play
Evolution as a concept is not limited to the evolution of organisms. It is the basic working principle of the Cosmos. With the new evolution theory in the work Evolution Reloaded [Taachal, 2021] the author comes out of the closet of natural selection to explore the evolution of life which is a cause-result linked chain reaction activated as a product of interaction among various environmental factors and energy forms. This theory also envisages a society as an organism sustained by various social processes and energy forms. The following extract is from the introduction of the book.
"A comprehensive evolution theory should deal with both external and internal attributes of an organism. In addition it should be able to deal with the linear changes in the spiritual bodies of human beings and social systems. While Darwin's theory of evolution exclusively dealt with the structure and form that consist of the external attributes of an organism, there was an effort to embed the spirit of this theory into the domain of Social Science.  It was done by Karl Marx when he tried to frame his historical vision by inducting the Darwinian conception of struggle for existence into his theory of class conflict.  
When dealing with the theoretical conception of struggle for existence Darwin got it right, but Marx got it wrong, because Darwin was dealing with the wild world of animals and on the other hand Marx was dealing with societies and civilizations.  Struggle for existence is equally applicable to the world of animals and the world of Homo sapiens. But the way by which these struggles are tackled is entirely different in the world of animals and in the world of Homo sapiens. Historically speaking, the single most powerful influencer of civil life in the entire Eastern world is Gautama Buddha and the infinite number of generations that shaped their destiny never found anything like survival of the fittest as a solution to the struggle for existence. In fact, Gautama Buddha exhorted his followers to avoid the struggle for existence by giving away desire and craving for existence. And in the entire Western world when we search for the single most powerful influencer of civil life, we cannot find any other name than that of Jesus Christ. There should never be an iota of doubt that the gospels on Jesus Christ never contained survival of the fittest as a solution to the natural state of struggle for existence. In fact, the voice of Jesus Christ was against the predatory tendencies inherent in human beings and he earnestly exhorted that man should leave behind his beastly familiarity in order to attain a new state of existence, a kind of rebirth, to become the members of the kingdom of god.  Wherever the propositions of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest find historical examples, as in the Americas where the colonists from Europe practiced them by mindless genocide of entire populations in vast continents, we are forced to bow down our heads in shame to accept the fact that Darwinian propositions are derogatory to the foundations of human existence. Providence alone knows that how far Darwin was influenced by the mindless saga of genocide in the Americas to propose his theoretical contentions of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. Sufficient is said to prove my point that Marx's effort at inducting struggle for existence into his historical framework failed very miserably and consequently the scope of Darwinian evolution remained within the realm of organic evolution." The book is available on Google Play.

EXODUS: FROM PARTITION TO PANDEMIC

Anyone who takes an impartial view of historical events cannot ever question the genuinity of suffering inflicted by the mass exodus during the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. Records variously mention about 10 to 12 million people as affected by the gruesome man-made tragedy in the recent history which was, however, unavoidable. Both India and Pakistan, in one way or another, washed their hands off the responsibility of the human tragedy, because there was a third player who could be held responsible for the cold-blooded acts of murder committed during the partition in 1947. After seven decades of this gruesome  man-made  tragedy. we are witnessing a mass exodus of the scale that cannot have a parallel in the recent history, save the exodus during partition. But, if we feign ignorance about it, or a section of media underplays it as irrelevant, or a section of the political  establishment bypasses it as a political conspiracy, it cannot stand to the tes...

THE STORY OF INDIA: FROM NEHRUVIAN SOCIALISM TO HINDUTVA FASCISM

Available on Google Play Books Excerpts from the book What after Modi Sarkar? On the Future of the Oldest Civilization.  "If by Hindutva it is meant what we are witnessing under the BJP regime today, we don't need any more of it. The time has come to look for alternatives. This statement is like a political quote of the time and this is what exactly one can feel when he/she impartially gauges the feelings of the masses of India. Mind the fact that social interactive platforms of India today, which are hijacked by the feudal classes of India, may speak a different story, which, for their proponents, appears like one of the varieties of nationalism practiced as an ideology of opportunistic power struggle. No doubt, the Indian culture that is renowned in the world history as the most benign culture of the world for having given asylum to infinite number of tribes and migrants from time immemorial and having built a composite culture assuring a rightful place to everyone, has take...

EVOLUTION RELOADED: DECODING TREE OF LIFE AND THE DESCENT OF MAN

EBOOK AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY Excerpts from the book EVOLUTION RELOADED "The latest in the series of defenses that tried to safeguard Darwinism came from Molecular Biology. Highly advanced and complicated research method called DNA Sequencing which could analyze human composition not at the levels of Morphology, Anatomy or Genetics, but at the level of molecules, supported Darwinism stating that chimpanzees and human beings shared the highest possible DNA sequences among all the existing animals. But this study also shed light on the denying fact that cats and cows, who according to Darwinism descended from a common ancestor along with human beings in the distant past, share 90% of DNA sequences with human beings. The same DNA sequencing also showed the contradictory fact that bananas share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. Similarly, fruit fly and red Jungle fowl [a kind of chicken] share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. These results speak themselves that DNA Sequencing ...
