In the presentation, titled ‘Aniconic to the Iconic’, Jawhar Sircar explained how the evolution of a deity in Hinduism also alters the ways in which it is worshipped.
Sircar, former IAS officer who took political plunge in 2021, wrote in letter to TMC chief Mamata Banerjee that he ‘just cannot accept corrupt officers getting top postings’.
Ex bureaucrat & Rajya Sabha MP Sircar says TMC can't win in 2024 with 'half-decayed body due to corruption', but he won't 'quit' unless CM Mamata Banerjee wants him to.
PM Modi faced protests during his trip to Varanasi this month but the media didn’t cover the incident, claims Sircar. Original video shows support for the PM and chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’.
Sircar took oath in Bengali and was greeted by thumping of desk by fellow MPs. He has spent nearly 42 years in public service and is known as a vocal critic of the BJP govt.
Jawhar Sircar had supported Mamata Banerjee during the state-Centre bureaucratic crisis that emerged before the Bengal polls, and even mobilised over 100 IAS officers to back her.
Indian sampradayas have to institutionalise their knowledge and boil it down to essentials for transmission and proselytisation if they are to compete with the major Abrahamic sects.
On 4 November 2025, NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Arun Baroka, noted that WhatsApp and Meta are distinct legal entities.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Just another Bengali “intellectual” denigrating and vilifying Hinduism.
Bengal produces busloads of such “intellectuals”. Who then go on to spread negativity about Hinduism and India in every global forum. Of course, it earns them very handsome rewards from various global foundations with vested interests and they eventually start acting as the lapdogs of such NGOs and thinktanks.
Good luck to Mr. Jawher Sircar!
Traditions that dont have followers who commit acts of terror in response to perceived slights will always be treated destructively. Terrorist and their enablers use their violent acts to perpetuate cults.
This is true for all cultures not just in India. People started by worshipping natural phenomena and then animals and then humans. But did these humans exist is an all together different question.
What nonsensical analyis is this. How does such stories get qualified to be published. I am sure when the author of this paper is confronted to produce evidence and refute counter evidence to support his claim, he shall run away.
