In Which Amit Varma Joins the Hall of Shame

August 21, 2008 – 12:44 pm

Chop Kashmir off India so that I can party in Bombay seems to be Amit Varma’s mantra. Varma’s hypothetical equation of India=British Empire or whatever is a mere diversionary couch to rest his laziness to learn, if not in depth, at least the outlines of the Kashmir problem. That in itself is not a huge [...]

Non-Resident Mischief Mongers

August 20, 2008 – 1:21 pm

What’s common between the following names apart from the fact that they are all Indians settled abroad and have fancy degrees next to their names?
Dr. Angana Chatterji, Dr. Shubh Mathur, Dr. Srimati Basu, Dr. Purnima Bose, Dr. Amitava Kumar, Dr. Swapna Mukhopadhyay, Dr. Richa Nagar, Dr. Vijaya Nagarajan, Dr. Mridu Rai, Dr. Sabina Sawhney, Dr. [...]

Verbal Terrorist Calls for Open Secession

August 19, 2008 – 6:21 am

What’s the difference between the "separatists" (who recently threatened to march into Muzzafarbad) and the Verbal Terrorist? Clearly, none. Especially after this earsplitting call.
Roy concluded with words, “India needs azadi from Kashmir as much as Kashmir needs azadi from India.”

Does this shock you? It shouldn’t. For once and for all, the Verbal Terrorist has taken [...]

Spare the Comics, Dammit!

August 19, 2008 – 1:52 am

It takes tremendous amounts of grotesque perversity to detect ulterior, sinister motives behind producing children’s comics. That’s perhaps why it takes only a Tehelka to do the job. Their target is the Amar Chitra Katha series of comics that educated millions of children mostly about India’s history and mythology. ACK is a case study of [...]

Revenge of the Turd

August 15, 2008 – 11:43 pm

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!

August 15, 2008 – 6:31 am

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 [...]

All you Wanted to Know About the Amarnath Controversy…

August 7, 2008 – 9:37 am

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.

Amarnath: Hindus are Second Class Citizens in India

August 5, 2008 – 1:38 pm

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 [...]

Attention to Detail

August 1, 2008 – 3:38 am

I rarely read a professional politician’s articles unless I know his/her record. Sitaram Yechury definitely is in my list of no-reads. As an ex-editor, I’m happy to say that my eye for detail has not diminished one bit.

Terror continues to stalk the nation. In five days, 55 bombs were planted (of which, mercifully, 25 did [...]

Taste of the Turd

August 1, 2008 – 2:05 am

This is really a welcome move by the BJP, something they should’ve done many years ago. The reason for media’s ruthless, unfair and incessant criticism of everything Hindu and the BJP in particular is that the Hindus have been playing the game by the rules set by the Opponent. As such the BJP should’ve tackled [...]
