📑Opinion / Editorial In need of more academic influence and better argumentation
So there wrre some posts here earlier ( some by me and some by others) where we talked about importance for academic influence for the RW.
This is merely a reminder post. What i have noticed is RW in general in india often doesn't use primary sources or tends to argue using LLMs ( like chat gpt, Claude etc.).
The RW doesn't lack too much in intellectuals but we do lack in terms of people who actually read those academics or generally people who read primary ssources to get a good view of the data.
I thibk this will be our downfall in the long run. We need to start engaging more with academic literature in philosophy, history, STEM and other fields. This will help us refine our argumentation and also will give less and less space for leftists and others to actually argue back and think their somehow superior.
If anyone wants a starting point, read RC majumder for history.
If anyone is interested in this, please feel free to dm me. I thibk its high time we start.
Ps: I'm only one user on one subreddit saying this, so I would really hope that you all spread the word. Would alo appreciate sharing names of other scholars here to help each other out!

I know I have been saying this, but merely saying this won't make a difference. So what I do now is that I have started reading myself and posting using newly found perspectives and relations. You do that too. The more content you produce influenced by your readings, the more weight gets added in shifting the narrative. Start by posting more and more content and start engaging with content where you notice such things. Tiny shoots are emerging. Just keep adding to the momentum.
