History Blogging at its Best

In a truly awesome post dissecting our Puppet Prime Minister’s daughter’s dubious attempt to categorize historians, JK covers a spacious spectrum. His dissection is a series of consecutive slaps to the lady, who is ever so politically correct despite having her flashes of intelligence. But the best thing about his post is the amount of [...]

SAALT, PEEPER, DRUM, DISK, SAYA, MAYA…

Amardeep Singh, the kind professor who refused to engage me in debate writes about his strong support to forming SAALT [link thanks: Gaurav]

The group has published a position paper endorsed by dozens of local South Asian American groups, which attempts to assemble a South Asian political agenda that might find broad support amongst various constituencies [...]

Maut ka Saudagar?

Elections in India is fun time because you can mudsling at will and get away with it. That was the case when the Italian bosswoman christened Modi as Maut ka Saudagar (Death Broker). Now that the actual maut ka saudagars have struck in the same Modi’s state, will the bosswoman call a spade a spade [...]

Quiz on Sedition

Concerning the materials of seditions. It is a thing well to be considered; for the surest way to prevent seditions (if the times do bear it) is to take away the matter of them. For if there be fuel prepared, it is hard to tell, whence the spark shall come, that shall set it on [...]

And Now for the Media Bomb Blasts

What’s worse than bomb-blast-a-day? Media and intellectual terror attacks. Have the fulminating columnists–Ram Puniyani, Sardesai, Shekar Gupta, et al, begun their orgasmic orchestration of–hey look! BJP cries about security but look at what has happened in the BJP-ruled states?
As I have repeatedly stressed, the real cleanup work needs to start by weeding these wolves out [...]

Ahmedabad Blasts: Time to Take Back the Government

My Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,
I don’t care if you read much less respond to this. You are after all, another inconsequential pawn who might be remembered by posterity in the same breath as Ambhi , and Jaichand.
I’m writing this because it is still not too late for you to develop a spine. I’m writing this [...]

Burn, my Beloved City

Update: A friend I was chatting with just told me that another bomb, placed inside a bucket opposite the Forum mall was defused in a timely manner by the cops. It seems somebody saw a guy wearing a red T-Shirt put a bucket down and walk away. This person immediately called the cops. The friend [...]

Mahabharata Question

For those of you who are generally pessimistic about the political scene in India, I have some good news. The state of India in the period described in the Mahabharata was to put it mildly, catastrophic.
Explain how/why.

Rajdeep’s Assuages his Conscience

Rajdeep Turdesai tries his hand at damage control-by-diversion. His need is urgent for it comes in the wake of widespread suspicions about the intent of a certain media whore of the Congress party to ensure that the UPA won the trust vote.
Turdesai climbs atop the moral mountain and begins to ponder about the “events of [...]

Parthasarathy who?

Hardhitting and moving at the same time, this article demonstrates the all-round decrepitude of the people of India. I’ve pasted the whole article here.
Parthasarathys do not count unless they were in a jail in India serving criminal sentences as Members of Parliament and having trust-voting privileges. Perhaps India is the only country that fails to [...]
