Gross generalizations about a country, a people, and a culture are humourous when done in the lighter vein. In most other cases, they are appalling. If you wonder why Westerners/foreigners are so ill-educated about India, articles like this is the answer. The article and its byline both are courageous because of their absolutely misplaced confidence [...]
Okay, after a lot of deliberation, offline requests, and confusion with another Twitter profile (for God’s sake, I’m NOT that Sandeep), I’ve decided to create a Twitter account for Seriously Sandeep.

Here’s one of the secular media templates on writing opinion pieces about the BJP:
As elections draw near, run a smear campaign. Insinuate that a BJP win looks bleak due to blah blah blah blah.

I stopped reading this blog long ago but was directed to read a specific post by a reader. To be fair, the post is not the focus of this entry; rather, a puke-inducing poem written by some Salil Tripathi. If I got it right, the poem is written in praise of his mother who taught [...]
Thanks to a private message by a regular reader, I get to read this Slimes report. When I investigated a trifle more, I got to read this. According to the Slimes report dated 3 Jul 2009, Nitin Raut, Maharashtra Minister of state for home (rural) is supposed to have directed the CID to
…investigate love affairs [...]
Here’s a common reprimand parents give their errant children: Is this what they teach you in school?
Let’s recall Eminent Historians: Their Technology, Their Line, Their Fraud. This path breaking book not only unmasked the eminences but awoke an entire generation of thinking Indian youth. In a way, it was a work that can rightly be [...]
