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... -
A New Adventure
Posted on August 17, 2012 | 38 CommentsThe time of the year when I publish an annual post reminding myself of this blog’s existence has arrived a few months early this year. When I began sometime in October 2000, I had no idea I’d be addicted to blogging for at least 5... -
Most Loathsome People of India: 2011

Posted on June 17, 2010 | 26 CommentsAn average, devout Hindu knows next to nothing about Hinduism while his Muslim or Christian counterparts know enough to defend their respective faiths. And so the average devout Hindu does one of these two: Feels ashamed and/or scared to admit in public that he is... -
Offstumped in a New Avatar
Posted on October 3, 2009 | 3 CommentsWith reasonable assumption, I can safely say that regular readers of this blog were also readers of Offstumped in its previous incarnation as part of the excellent Indian National Interest umbrella of blogs.

This is Where Barkha Comes From
Posted on January 30, 2009 | 18 CommentsWatch this YouTube Video. Barkha Dutt actually had a talk show on whether we should “regulate blogging!” What does “regulate” smack of? http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=iLiDTX5xhv8 That kind of explains some things in the Kunte episode.
