लल्ला पुराण 137

The name of this man is  Ish Mishra a student of AU(1972-76) and a Professor at Delhi University. This is platform of ex-AU students who do not gather to exchange pleasantries but to exchange ideas with the application of mind. But the people like you who have no habit of application of mind and who constitute the category of educated duffers take it as a platform of hi-bi. Unfortunately most of the respected members of this category,  lacking scientific temperament are from Science background that they study as a skill not part of knowledge. In AU I too was a science student. Those who study science as the process of knowledge and acquire scientific temperament become likes of Einstein and Russel.

Sanjay Srivastava: There is no final truth except the change and death, so no one, not at least me, can be the bearer of final truth, the relative truth evolves through healthy discourse based on facts and logical arguments.  Not many but quite a few in this group just make baseless judgmental statements without knowing or trying to abc of the subject or applying the mind to know. A contemporary anarchist philosopher Proudhon, whose a famous quotation sums up the philosophy of anarchism, "Whoever puts his hands on me to govern is a tyrant and usurper, I declare him my enemy",  wrote a book "Philosophy of Poverty" to ridicule Marx in response Marx wrote "Poverty of Philosophy" in which he writes "Workers are class-in-itself by definition vis-a-vis capitalist but they remain a lump of mass till they acquire class consciousness and organize themselves into a class -for-itself on the basis of common class interest". The link, the consciousness id important and difficult to raise as the ideological forces of statuesque are adamant to accept new ideas under the influence of hegemony. the many members upper strata of the working class like professor, are by-and-large part of working population as they do not own the means of labor and survive by selling physical/intellectual labor (though no labor, in essence, is non-intellectual) but harbor the illusion of being part of the ruling classes.  Under false consciousness lives under the illusion of accumulation not knowing the basic law of capitalism that in capitalism only capitalist can accumulate not the wage earners, however highly paid executive one may be,. As an activist teacher my role is to contribute my bit in raising a scientific and humane social consciousness breaking the YUGCHETNA, my topic in a seminar at AU last month..
