Announcing the "IndianObjectivist" Mailing List

IndianObjectivists

IndianObjectivists is a private mailing list for Objectivists either based in India or with an interest in Indian society. Its purpose is to facilitate ideas for activism & also for promoting the philosophy of Objectivism in India.

List Membership

Subscribers to IndianObjectivists must meet the following criteria:

• They must be Objectivists, meaning that they agree with and live by the principles of Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism as best they understand them.  Newcomers to Objectivism are just as welcome as old-timers.  Those who consider themselves to be libertarians (or associate with the Libertarian Party), advocate revising Objectivism (like David Kelley's "open system"), or associate with the dishonest pseudo-advocates of Objectivism (most notably David Kelley, Nathaniel Branden, Barbara Branden, and Chris Sciabarra) should not subscribe to the list.

People who do not clearly meet this criteria should not subscribe without first e-mailing the list owner, Dinesh Pillay, at dpillay@gmail.com.

New subscribers are encouraged to post an introduction, including name, blog title and URL, and blogging interests (if any).

List Rules

The list has a few basic rules:

• Please be friendly or at least civil in posts to the list. Subscribers who behave like asses, such as by insulting other list members or attacking Objectivist intellectuals, will be removed from the list.

• Please respect the purpose of the list. This list is not intended as a forum for the discussion and understanding of Objectivist ideas. People looking for help in such aspects would do well to stop by ObjectivismOnline. Subscribers who prove disruptive to the basic purpose of the list -- such as by attempting to arguing against Objectivist positions or posting on irrelevant topics -- will be unsubscribed or subject to moderation.

Contact

If you have any questions about or problems with the list, please e-mail Dinesh Pillay, the list's owner and administrator, at dpillay@gmail.com.
