In this monologue, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar speaks on his formulated framework of Turiyavaad, which relates to the principle of transcendence as a means to undertake politics and policymaking. He highlights the preeminence of Satya (truth) in the Indic civilisation since times immemorial and our oft-sidelined Dharmic heritage of understanding truth and reality in the Universe as being nuanced and even replete with binaries and dualities. Dr. Guha Majumdar posits that realising this can give us the premise for not being dogmatic in our approach, when thinking of political actions, and help us prioritise truth-based politics and evidence-based policymaking. In a fascinating discussion, encompassing everything from Upanishadic wisdom, Sri Krishna\'s understanding of Swadharma, Buddha\'s Paṭicca-samuppāda, post-truth politics and linguistics to Indian communism, Freud\'s psychoanalytic model, theories of everything in modern physics and the experimental approach to development economics, it is a fascinating montage of myriad ideas to highlight a novel way of thinking about politics, society and life.
