Renju, I am not sure how will you consider my following question. Anyway I will risk asking it. I have seen you use the word "belief" and "believe" in your postings consistently. My doubt is regarding the same. For example, If I say I believe Bobby. This means I trust Booby because of my personal understanding of not only his relation with me but also on account of his positions/ideas etc. There is a personal element to this "belief" and this trust is essential in/for a relation and is not contractual. There are also contractual trust as in case of entering into partnerships.
But can we say the same in case of ideology or discourse? For eg: Can we say I "believe" in Marx or Marxism. Does not this cancel out our critical faculty to engage with thinkers Indian, Malayalee, French or any nation..
