Is this latest Red attack in Orissa a precursor of sorts?
A day after Naxals launched massive attacks in Orissa killing 15 people, security forces are intensifying pressure on them
But the Naxals now seem to be shifting targets. The Tata Group is now at the top of their hit list. And as recent attacks show, so [...]
This is where I wind up my previous post on Hindutva, which I had left unfinished. I pointed to a fundamental error in understanding Hindutva by comparing it to "militant Islam."
This promises to be fun. Times of India has already begun its verbal acrobatics.
Congress in Gujarat is raising its voice on the Sohrabuddin issue. But, it should explain to the people what should be done to a man who stored illegal arms and ammunition. You tell me, what should have been done to Sohrabuddin?"

I rubbed my eyes upon reading the teaser to this article:
We are quick to condemn the lunatics who wield trishuls and wear saffron. But isn’t it time that the skull-capped and long-bearded version of fanaticism receives our contempt too? Barkha Dutt examines.
Reading the whole article assuaged my fears. It (re)confirmed established scientific truths: [...]
The Calcutta (not Kolkata) violence didn’t come as a surprise. Several foreboding omens of Muslim discontent had indicated what to expect. It was planned well, executed perfectly, and extracted the desired harvest.
The script unfolded in the lanes and bylanes of east and central Kolkata, where police were cramped for space. Fearing they would get trapped, [...]
Praful Bidwai pitches in with lots of acid against Buddhadeb and Left goons in this interesting center-page article in the Slimes.

…dominance of Muslims in Opp, relief camps prompts attack from Muslim voices
But thanks to excellent blogs like this, we get closer to the truth. One reason that strikes [...]
The Left is rightly obstinate about not allowing its sins to be discussed in Parliament. In true Mafiosi style, they reason that it is a "state subject," hence out of bounds.
After a meeting of four Left parties, the leaders maintained that the Nandigram issue was a "state law and order subject" which could not be [...]
The Economist’s ignorance about India is on display again. A consistent display of poor research and lack of awareness of basic facts about the country forces one to reasonably conclude that the magazine is biased against India. For instance, their country profile on India contains a wealth of information that sometimes borders on being incorrect. [...]
Everything the comrades do is in accordance with the Will of the people. A full blown war has erupted in Nandigram. A sample of the phrases used to report the event: regain control of Nandigram, ferocity of the attack, armed squads have dug up trenches and snipers have taken positions, local CPM leaders have formed [...]
