The Devil and the Actor

It’s the season of Minority drum-beating again. If you are a conspiracy theorist, you will link Shabana Azmi’s interview with Karan Thapar to the recent happenings in Jammu and Kashmir, given the timing of the interview. She is one of the darlings of the secular establishment for very eclectic reasons. More on this point later. [...]

Revenge of the Turd

Turdesai employs Sagarika Ghose to wreak vengeance against the BJP for railing first, against his open unscrupulousness and then, boycotting his channel. It truly makes for ridiculous reading.
Yet, with such a strong tailwind of middle class approval, on such an important mission of creating the democratic opposition to the Congress, what was the public image [...]

Omigod the Hatred!

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 [...]

UPA’s Report Card

Is it too early to give a report card on the performance of the UPA non-government for its entire term? I’m not talking about the secularly-certified report cards and approval ratings that the media gives year after year to the UPA. It’s the report card of two broad categories of people. The aam aadmi and [...]

Solzhenitsyn and Sleaze

Sudheendra Kulkarni remembers Solzhenitsyn’s call for adherence to truth at all times, especially in public life.
In my last week’s column I had mentioned that I was an eyewitness and facilitator in the whistle-blowing operation, conducted by three BJP MPs in collaboration with a reputed TV channel, to expose the “cash-for-votes” scam. The channel stands accused [...]

All you Wanted to Know About the Amarnath Controversy…

But didn’t know where to find the information
In what I rate as his best piece till date, Tarun Vijay–yeah, RSS/Saffron/Communal/Right wing nut, etc–chronicles the entire history of the Amarnath controversy. Read it if only to confirm what I said about Hindus being second class citizens in India.

Everything is Connected

Does the lifting of the SIMI ban have anything to do with Amar "Broker" Singh considering news of some heavy-duty brokering going on?
Undeterred by the series of controversies and allegations on the cash-for-vote scam involving Mr Amar Singh, the Samajwadi Party has reportedly stepped up pressure on the government for key portfolios in the [...]

Amarnath: Hindus are Second Class Citizens in India

No other civilization has suffered such severe body blows as the Hindu civilization. The fear of sudden and repeated massacres of Hindus no longer exists but is replaced by something far deadlier. The rot is now from within. An openly-hostile media, academia, and other public institutions, several of them funded and supported by Hindus have [...]

More Mountain Weed Turd

Turdesai is not content with smoking Mountain Weed alone. He feeds it to his staff as well by making them write an “explanation” for why his channel didn’t telecast the damaging tapes. From trying to assuage his non-existent conscience to enforcing his guilt upon his staff, Turdesai sinks to newer and newer lows. Owe it [...]

The Annual Farce that is SAARC

So our Puppet Minister is off to attend yet another SAARC charade. For an international body that has such hoary aims as perpetuating mutual peace and harmony, foster economic growth, improving quality of people’s lives, and enabling people to live a life of dignity, there’s absolutely no record of just one of these objectives being [...]
