Guha Gargles Goo Again
Posted on February 9, 2013 | 56 CommentsRamachandra Guha never learns, does he? There’s a limit to how many times his bluff has been called. Or is there? Wait…there is a limit to the number of times his bluff has been called but given his record, his capacity to bluff is infinite.... -
Rabid Grand Mufti Tells the Truth About Islam
Posted on February 7, 2013 | 104 CommentsBe very scared each time you hear the words “Grand Mufti.” The first thing it reminds us of is the Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Islamic cleric and extremist leader of Jerusalem who personally oversaw the massacre of Jews not once but twice. The... -
Festival of the Political Sissies
Posted on January 26, 2013 | 21 CommentsLast year around this time I described how the Jaipur Literature Festival was a festival of the politically correct sissies. I should’ve also mentioned in that piece that it was just one step away from the next logical stage it would reach: from being politically... -
Vacuous Media Sleazeballs Moralize Against Mohan Bhagwat
Posted on January 8, 2013 | 49 CommentsMy dictum that the Indian English media is a whore with none of the ethics of a whore has been proven correct again. And so the latest proof of its venal whoredom happens to be a barefaced lie, a shameless hoax, which in the pre-Internet... -
Marxist-Sociologist Nutjob Wanks off on the Pages of the Madras Marxist Rag
Posted on January 5, 2013 | 27 CommentsThis piece was published on Centre Right India yesterday. Comments and criticism welcome as always. Thank God I am not in Madras. If I were, my hands would’ve gotten dirty the moment I flipped to that bilious page of the Madras Mount Road Marxist Rag.... -
The Enduring Relevance of Koenraad Elst
Posted on December 29, 2012 | 25 CommentsDisclaimer: This piece is going to piss off a lot of people. I mean no offence but if you do take offence, I consider it a deed well done. One of the defining sentences in the various analyses of post-Independence Hindu revivalism, which is also... -
Modi the Great!
Posted on December 21, 2012 | 25 CommentsThis is a translation of my own piece published in the Sunday Special Supplement of Kannada Prabha on December 16, 2012. I thought this piece would be a fitting tribute to Modi’s stupendous and third consecutive electoral success in the Gujarat 2012 assembly polls. Comments... -
The Case Against Dishonesty
Posted on December 10, 2012 | 34 CommentsMy feelings for the multi-headed and ever-reverse-evolving beast called the Indian National Interest alias Takshashila alias…whatever its next avatar…have similarly evolved over the past 5-6 years. In the reverse. Currently, I feel infinite pity. It could change depending on what shape they’ll take tomorrow. From... -
Coming Soon: An Entitlement University Named After a Mass Murderer
Posted on November 27, 2012 | 41 CommentsThis man has caused great loss not only to the Muslim community but to the entire society. He may be occupying a very high office, but we will not spare him. He has committed grave and deliberate mistakes. I have ordered a detailed inquiry into... -
Was he Merely a Great Maratha or the Hero of Hindu Hearts?
Posted on November 20, 2012 | 29 CommentsNote: This is a translation of Pratap Simha’s piece that appeared in Kannada Prabha on November 19, 2012. But who was he really? Do we go by the opinions of analysts who put him on par with political cartoonists like R.K. Laxman? Or, barring Times... -
A Nightmarish Legacy
Posted on November 19, 2012 | 3 CommentsThis piece was first published in Center Right India. Posted here in full. Of all “Days” that India celebrates every year, only Engineers’ Day is meaningful, and Children’s Day, the most wasted. It stretches the limits of even fantasy to find a link to Jawaharlal... -
