Why will he talk about freedom of speech when studied silence butters his bread just fine?! He is not about to jeopardize his career for one pesky Taslima. Freedom of speech and property rights are not more important than the perks of belonging to secular club. This Varma dude is cooing with the secular establishment as usual.

This guy, who lectures so much has not got a single post on Nandigram or Taslima (except for asking VK Malhotra a stupid question). No wonder he does not allow comments on his "blog" what a spineless rat...! The Amit Varma guy is at it again.
