Welcome to Maq’s Blog.
Entrepreneurship, writing, political experience, and a lifelong pursuit of learning have shaped my journey across engineering, business, law, economics, healthcare, technology, and philosophy. My work and studies have taken me through different disciplines, but throughout them there has been one persistent habit:
To question what others often accept.
I am particularly interested in questions that appear simple but lead to much deeper investigations.
Are we truly living, or simply performing roles shaped by society?
Why do successful organisations eventually fail?
Why does knowledge continually develop?
Why do societies and civilisations keep changing?
My interest in these questions did not arise from academic study alone. Earlier in my life, my involvement in communist political and social activity in Sabarkantha, Gujarat, introduced me directly to questions of poverty, class, caste, religion, inequality, political consciousness, organisation, and social change.
Those experiences, and my later reflections upon them, form the basis of my book My Experience of Communism: In Relation to Sabarkantha. Rather than approaching communism only as political theory, the book reflects on what happened when Marxist ideas encountered the particular material and social conditions of Sabarkantha, the comrades who shaped my political consciousness, and the difficulties we experienced in translating theory into political practice.
Over time, my interests expanded across different disciplines. Rather than seeing philosophy, history, economics, politics, law, science, technology, and civilisation as entirely separate subjects, I became increasingly interested in the relationships between them.
This interdisciplinary interest is also reflected in Digital Sustainability: Risks, Responsibility, and Regulation, which explores the growing relationship between digital development, sustainability, responsibility, governance, and regulation.
My continuing investigation into human and social development eventually led to The Theory of Cvolution: A General Theory of Human Civilisational Development, an original philosophical framework through which I explore the processes underlying the development of individuals, organisations, institutions, societies, and civilisations.
My published works include In the Shadow of the Storm, The Enchanted Connection, Spark, Causes of Insolvencies in Large Businesses, I Am, Therefore I Think: Human Origins, the Illusion of Gods, and the Rediscovery of Reality, A Theory of Human-Centred Systems: Rethinking Knowledge, Power, and Wealth, Digital Sustainability: Risks, Responsibility, and Regulation, and The Theory of Cvolution: A General Theory of Human Civilisational Development.
My continuing work, My Experience of Communism: In Relation to Sabarkantha, returns to an earlier period of my life to examine political experience through the perspective that only time, distance, further study, and reflection can provide.
Although these works address very different subjects, they share a common purpose: to question established assumptions, investigate the conditions beneath what we observe, and understand how individuals, organisations, knowledge, and societies change.
This website is where that investigation continues through essays, reflections, research, and new ideas. It is intended for readers who enjoy questioning accepted explanations and exploring connections across disciplines.
Every meaningful discovery begins with a question.
