					<description><![CDATA[Today I have a guest post for you all by Mukul Shri Goel. Enjoy! When Ms. Ambaa Choate suggested that I write about the changes I have experienced in my spiritual life, I was a little surprised at the suggested topic because I am not a famous personality and have no creditable contributions in spirituality.

It’s easy for me to forget that many, many people, even people who are connected to India or live in India, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I've seen the weaponization of words against supporters of political integration of Kashmir into India, and against people afraid of potential Indian government abuses. What I haven't yet seen is a careful analysis of the way a deeply colonizing/colonized international academia/media (including Indian academia/media) is partially responsible for fomenting fear, anger, and hatred between Hindus and Muslims in South Asia.]]></description>
