Preface
In an interesting article on Narendra Modi, TCA Srinivasa-Raghavan (link courtesy Nitin) concludes that contextual morality is the one magic explanation for all ills that have plagued India for more than 100 years. He says
…Narendra Modi is our own creation, of liberals, conservatives, fascists, communists and every other man jack of us. He is not [...]
This disgusting tripe cannot be called a "book review." It stops short at making an open personal attack on L.K. Advani. Now that I’ve already wasted two sentences, I leave you with something beyond contempt. Read the last line, especially.
In 2005 Mr Advani and his family were invited on a tour of Pakistan, ending [...]
On the heels of Nitin calling for Shivraj Patil’s immediate dismissal, comes this disgusting piece of news. Arjun Singh is well-entitled to his creepy display of dynastic sycophancy loyalty a billion times. But he makes himself a candidate for deserving more than just a tight slap when he says:
“Only a person who is totally committed [...]
This blog refuses to let me have a peaceful vacation. I’m gone for four days, blasts erupt in Jaipur and the blogsphere is frenzied. Fellow-bloggers steal my thunder by taking the concerned citizens brigade apart. I’m with both Nitin and Yossarin on the useful idiots remark but my concern is more fundamental. And I’m not [...]
A gentleman made an insightful observation on another forum I’m part of. While this observation is not new, it underscores what we all know: post-Independence Hindu society has failed to defend itself adequately.

Earlier this month, Priyanka Vadra Gandhi met Nalini to “come to terms with her father’s death,” etc. Noble sentiments. A heart-warming gesture. However, not everybody was happy.
Even 17 years after Rajiv’s assassination, the families of most of the 14 victims who died along with Rajiv are yet to get any compensation promised by the Central [...]
Great men are known for greater quirks. So it is with Karunanidhi–I leave his greatness to both your imagination and evaluation. A brief background before this.
In the Hindu tradition, one of the ways greatness is measured is by suffixing pravartaka (literally, converter, precedent-setter etc). Sages were honoured with titles like Gotra Pravartaka (givers of [...]
On its front page, CNN-IBN proudly features its nomination to some Webby award as “as one of the world’s best news websites.” If ever there was an award for being the most biased, casteist, and communal (all its terms, defined by itself) media house, it would win the award every single year. The latest Exhibit: [...]
The Mohammadan conquest with its propagandist work and later the Christian missionary movement attempted to shake the stability of Hindu society and in an age deeply conscious of instability, authority naturally became the rock on which alone it seemed that social safety and ethical order could be reared. The Hindu, in face of the [...]

Barbar Indians’ latest post carries an interesting observation
The first involves the following statement by Narendra Modi:
“I want to tell the government in Delhi, lets sign a year-long pact, you don’t take any money from us and don’t give us any aid. And then we will show the Centre how we run the state. You all [...]
