IBC announces a ‘Purvapakshin Review Club’

Indica February 5, 2021

Our civilisational thought has had a long history of debates, especially the concept of Purva Paksha, requiring a thorough understanding of the opponent’s view before criticising the same. In the recent times Shri Rajiv Malhotra has revived this tradition through his books and discourses.

In order to encourage reviewers to read books written by authors whose viewpoint is divergent from one’s own, IBC is now pleased to launch a ‘Purvapakshin Review Club’. Members who sign up will receive books that do not necessarily confirm to their civilisational thought either in its entirety or in part thereof. It is expected that the members will read these books to understand the points made from the other side and write reviews summarising the book’s arguments and then counter them with their own.

Through this initiative we hope to encourage rebuttals that are backed with research, rigour, and respect.

Most of the books for review will be academic or semi-academic in nature.

We are looking for deeply committed academics, research scholars, public intellectuals, and students.

Those interested may please fill up this form.

We dedicate this initiative in honour of Sri Rajiv Malhotra.

I  see these explanations for   पूर्व पक्ष  

Purva paksha - Wikipedia 

Also these used in Indian philosophical systems and Shastra

Purvapaksha, Pūrvapakṣa, Purva-paksha: 14 definitions (wisdomlib.org)  

In what Sense is  पूर्व पक्ष Used  by IBC ‘Purvapakshin Review Club’ - Indic Academy

It is used in the sense in which it is used in the Shaastra tradition. 

It is intended to encourage building a deep familiarity with the opponent's point of view before criticizing it. 

It is intended to discourage criticizing without a deep familiarity with the opponent's point of view. 

It is intended , in the first place, to identify the opponent to the Indic /Hindu/ sanaatana Dharma place, people, culture, languages, worldview(s), tradition(s), knowledge systems etc. then take on that opponent and not keep mum, but take on only after  building a deep familiarity with it.

It is a book club so encourages book reading. But this particular project focuses on reading books with the above mentioned purpose. 

It is a review club so it is encouraged not to stop just with reading but expressing the deep familiarity with the opponent's point of view developed through that reading, in the form of a review article and publish it.

Are you looking for the vigraha vaakya for the title/name of the club? 

It is 'club for the review of the poorvapakshin'

'poorvapakshin' is laakshanika prayoga for 'poorvapakshin's book'. 

[Ajit Gargeshwari]

Thank you. The two mails helped me with a clear understanding  the title chosen correctly
