Quoting Rodney King, Haidt attempts to make a case for a more meaningful discussion between the Left and the Right - “we’re all stuck here for a while, so let’s try to work it out” The Foolish King – Mark Price In ‘The Righteous Mind’, Haidt presents a Moral Foundation Theory which he uses to explain the Liberal and Conservative worldview.
The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion – Jonathan Haidt Though the story is not just about water scarcity. With Thanneer it was even more familiar with the story set in Madras at a time when people used to queue with kudams waiting for the corporation water tank. But in Ashokamitran’s ‘18vathu Atchakodu’, the urban backdrop and the dialect were familiar to me.
Thanneer – Ashokamitran (Tamil)ĭialects are often a challenge when reading Tamil books. But it would be more accurate to say Vekkai is about the effect of these social aspects on a family rather than the aspects themselves. To say Vekkai is a story about oppression, violence and class dispute wouldn’t be incorrect. I am hoping that the success of a mainstream movie adapted from a book would lead to many more such adaptations being made. I was excited when Vetrimaaran announced the adaptation of Vekkai. This also means the book can be a long read. It’s an exhaustive book with useful information and interviews from financial leaders. I received this book, along with JL Collins’s ‘A Simple path to wealth’ as an introduction to personal finance and Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE). In addition to the essay on the infamous incident, the book also covers a wide variety of subjects – Tamil Nadu politics, trade union strikes, China, Gandhi, Engels to name a few. Haunted by Fire: Essays on Caste, Class, Exploitation and Emancipation – Mythily SivaramanĪfter the release of the Tamil film Asuran, The Hindu newspaper ran an article about the Keezhvenmani massacre with a reference to ‘Haunted by Fire’. With that in mind, I have kept the descriptions to a minimum. The intention behind sharing this list is to merely point out that these books exist. So this list might be super boring or exciting to you depending on the overlap in our interests. Reading lists can be very personal and reflect one’s interests. This is a list of books that I have read in 2020. To me, New Year is one such occasion and I mark it with a modern-day ritual, making year-end lists. In order to comprehend this timeless eternity that we live in, we punctuate time with occasions and anniversaries, celebrating them with a variety of rites and rituals.
