The Kerala model.

We shouldn't restrict ourselves to the study of just the Kerala model of development. Kerala offers a model for study in all facets of culture, for it is not just in HDI that Kerala bucks the trend. Why high HDI coincides with such low levels of self-esteem, for instance.

Enlightend free will.

There are some who believe that the enlightenment gave birth to free will. Where up till then, the action of men were determined by his culture and ignorance, man now had the gift of true knowledge that allowed him to transcend history and culture and become the master of his destiny.

Enlightenment then is a certain fruit.
