This excerpt from T N Madan’s text Non-Renunciation: Themes and Interpretations of Hindu Culture is by far the most important though in advancing the near absurd divide between ‘real’ and ‘imaginary’ worlds. Helps the cause of social scientist as well as those who often tend to assert their views alleging the other of being ‘unreal’.

Recording this idea here to mark the uneasy arguments over being ‘real’ and being ‘practical’ of the past.
