Here is Outlook’s Seema Sirohi writhing in an orgasm pumped by hatred against American Hindus. I obviously didn’t read through the whole article; read it if you must. The choicest bits, for your reading pleasure.
Their essential thesis goes thus—Bharat is besieged from within and without, it is maligned and abused, and it must rise to defend itself. As soldiers stationed abroad, they wage the daily battle via the internet to defend all things Hindu, preposterous or perfunctory, ludicrous or legitimate. In the end, logic takes a backseat to hate and wisdom marks a striking absence. Chat rooms, message boards, blogs, petitions, protests and e-mails generated by the Hindutva-bathed Non-Resident Indians in America burn with an angry nationalism, a hypersensitive edge and a general sense of victimhood. [..] The plight of the Kashmiri Pandits touched him deeply. Then came the BJP government in Delhi and the anger found articulation, morphing into hate speech and laying bare a distinct anti-Muslim slant. The communication revolution of the internet helped distribute the anger. But mostly the NRI rants consist of pseudo-statistics and mendacious arguments, alarmist declarations—geography is demography—and phony fears. [...] And Hindutvawalas are just a part of the larger NRI community, now 1.3 million strong. But they are noticeable because they are loud and often obnoxious.
The tactics of the Hindutva brigade can be transparently intimidating. In the 11 years of journalism in Washington, I witnessed incidents that left me wondering if the academic freedom in US varsities was being misused to spread hate. Once at the University of Maryland while attending a speech by a BJP leader, the event ended in a meltdown after a student dared to question the perfectly made-up image of India. A seething office-bearer of the Overseas Friends of the BJP was at his throat shouting, "What do you know about India?" I wrote about it in The Telegraph, earning the wrath of the saffron brigade and blacklisting from future events.

Its probably this NJ rally that got ms seema sirohi all worked up. after all, dead hindus dont fit her ultra-leftist narrative right, it just doesnt sell copy writing about dead hindus.
This lady is writhing allright, but she’s hissing a lot, not moaning in ecstasy.
I suggest Seema read “Elephant Rising” by Ashutosh Seshabalaya to check her facts about INdia and NRI achievements.
Seems like Jholawalas and commies have struck again at the Hindus.
is she, ms seema, discribing this blog??
Hello Comrade Aikath,
>>is she, ms seema, discribing this blog??
I’dn’t be surprised if the nut is ranting against Sandeep’s blog, and given the levels of IQ she displayed, it’s quite conceivable that the madwoman thinks everybody who blogs is an NRI
no because i wondered. blogger did not read it whole, first sign. and she has mentioned angry nationalism, phoney fears, hypersensitvie edge, victimhood. evrything of those found in this blog and commenters. second sign. so it is natural to ask if it is this blog.
shuvro aikath, barbarindian
Comrade Aikath,
I don’t know what signs she’s sending you, but you two make a great pair. The same shrillness coupled with the same inanity. That nut seems to think sandeep is a “soldier stationed abroad”, to use words from her charming rant, and you seem to think so too. Not everybody who blogs is a an Non-Resident India, Comrade, let alone a “Hindutva-bathed” NRI, whatever that means.
Take the Dcubed blog for example. The chap who blogs there claims to live in India, and a die-hard fan of India’s Loon Numero Uno, Comrade Arundhati Roy. Get the point?
Maybe the real question is why is our friend Seema still hysterically championing the cause of 1950s Nehruvian secularism and all the “good ” it has brought India ?
