The Morality of Boycott

A certain class of minds shrink from aggressiveness as if it were a sin. Their temperament forbids them to feel the delight of battle and they look on what they cannot understand as something monstrous and sinful... To ask masses of mankind to act as saints, to rise to the height of divine love and practise it in relation to their adversaries or oppressors is to ignore human nature... Hinduism recognizes human nature and makes no such impossible demand. To impose on politics the Brahminical duty of saintly sufferance, is to preach varNasankara, and to destroy society and the race.
...
Aggression is unjust only when unprovoked, violence unrighteous when used wantonly or for unrighteous ends. It is a barren philosophy which applies a mechanical rule to all actions, or takes a word [non-violence] and tries to fit all human life into it... Ramdas is not complete without Shivaji. To maintain justice and prevent the strong from despoiling and the weak from being oppressed is the function for which the Kshatriya was created. Therefore, says Srikrishna in the Mahabharat, God created battle and armour, the sword, the bow and the dagger.
- Sri Aurobindo (On Nationalism, pp.  360-364)

telugu sAhitI priyulaku susvAgatam!

Here I present a collection of audio renderings of telugu poetry by various people. Sorry for the poor audio quality of some of these recordings. They have been made using simple personal audio recorders by various friends and relatives of mine. Even getting access to them was difficult.

Also, if you have any personal collections of such nature, I'd be very grateful if you could share them with me to be put on my website for everybody's benefit. I'm looking for kavitA paThanam/gAnam.

Here is a very good webpage that provides introduction to chhandas (Indian notion of poetic rhythm) called Chhandassu 101. I created a local copy to avoid losing it.
