To clarify, Debashish, Komal is saying that some of Sri Aurobindo's language was racist even by the standards of his time (and not even by the standards of the "political correct" 21st century), and not that he was himself a racist at all. How would you respond to this? (FYI -- Komal is my partner and an admirer of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.) I think one point that needs to be made here is that Sri Aurobindo never saw race as a biological construct anyway.
