The Situation in Assam: Part 2
Posted on August 11, 2012 | 79 CommentsThere is a reason I went into such detail in my earlier post tracing the soft Jihad in Assam to its roots. Apart from showing that it is rooted in Islamic scripture, it was also a foundation of sorts to show how, historically, the world... -
Soft Jihad in Assam was Waiting to Happen : Part 1
Posted on July 31, 2012 | 139 CommentsPreface Let’s call things by their proper name. What is continuing to unfold in Assam is soft Jihad. It isn’t an ethnic strife, much less a riot. It is soft Jihad not in terms of the scale or intensity of violence but because it is... -

Why Doesn’t the Hindu Talk about the Demographic Siege
Posted on July 9, 2012 | 55 CommentsIn a highly communally-charged article, the Hindu reports on a supposed “housing apartheid” that seems to exist in Delhi. Although the piece is focussed on Delhi, one can’t help feeling that the content of the piece can be extrapolated to other Indian cities and reach... -

In Which the Racist Psychoanalyst Needs Treatment –Part 2
Posted on June 4, 2012 | 156 CommentsAshis Nandy lives in and endorses a world where an open call for murder is termed as a diplomatic communication and an expression of grievance becomes an act of extremism.

10 Years of Phenomenal Growth & 10 Years of Scavenging
Posted on February 29, 2012 | 64 CommentsAre death anniversaries celebrated? “Celebrated” is an unfortunate choice of word to use in the same breath as “death.” And no, that word choice is not mine. It is the media’s. Somebody’s death anniversary is not celebrated unless that person is someone like Stalin. Speaking... -
The Madrassa on The Charles
Posted on January 4, 2012 | 47 CommentsWhen even a man like Richard Nixon called Harvard the “Kremlin on the Charles,” he probably didn’t envision in how many horrible ways that would eventually ring true.

Angana Chatterji, The Darling of Islamofascists: Part 2
Posted on November 5, 2011 | 408 CommentsSo we already saw how Angana Chatterji’s anthropological heart bleeds for every atrocity, brutality, and massacre committed in the name of liberating people and fighting against neo-imperialism.

Lies, Damned Lies and Meera Nanda
Posted on August 9, 2011 | 167 CommentsMy wait didn’t go in vain. I knew it the moment the world learned that the Norwegian lunatic-killer took inspiration from a vast range of literature critical of Islam, Marxists and their fellow travellers and that literature included writings that emanated from people sympathetic to...
