The God Debate Rages…
Posted on March 16, 2005 | 1 CommentAt Metafilter. The irrepressible atheist, MadMan adds his bit there as well as on his own blog. Part of the problem with this whole God Affair is that God mostly is conceived as a Him (or Her if that pleases feminist lurkers on this blog).... -
The Dark Side of Secularism?
Posted on March 10, 2005 | No CommentsThus reads the title of this article. Once you finish reading the article, it becomes evident where the author’s stand lies.

Why do I Hate the Verbal Terrorist?
Posted on November 25, 2004 | 41 CommentsDina has some interesting things to say about Shanti’s (original) post about Arundhati Roy as well as mine. First of all, she says I hate Roy to which I’ll give a predictable reply: I don’t hate her as a person (I don’t even know her),... -
Meditations on Culture
Posted on November 8, 2004 | 7 CommentsHow do we define the culture of a specific country/geographical region? It is not quite incorrect to state that culture constitutes a set of beliefs, codes, and mores that are shared by a majority of people throughout the geographical location. It won’t again, be wrong... -
What was more Harmful?
Posted on September 30, 2004 | 4 CommentsRavi is kind enough to devote his thoughts to a book review I had posted recently; the book, which proves that Nehru was a die-hard communist.

Call for Butchers….
Posted on September 20, 2004 | No CommentsHas anybody read the latest masterpiece by The Verbal Terrorist? This one is truly a butcher’s deconstructor’s delight. Because I’m too lazy to do it–plus, it’s about 11 pages long–I’m offering an opportunity to fellow bloggers to do it on my behalf. The prize: like... -
War
Posted on August 11, 2004 | 2 CommentsI’ve never understood the need for an individual or a country to dominate others physically–domination is violence, violation. It probably stems from a need to “show others who is the boss.” It is interesting also to observe the connotation we attach to certain things, events,... -

She says that Indian history is now in the hands of the “hunted” that is, Indian history has till now, been written from the victor’s perspective which naturally glorifies the victor and... -
Rape &c…
Posted on June 14, 2004 | 7 CommentsJivha and Ravikiran are ripping each other apart… all right, lest the words in bold indicate a precusor to an ad hominem argument, let me haste to clarify thus: are ripping other’s arguments apart on the subject of rape. Very interesting. What’s even more interesting... -
States are not Vassals of the Union
Posted on June 8, 2004 | 3 CommentsPrelude The Cartel is becoming increasingly aggressive with each passing day. And how! And no, I’m not a wannabe… I faintly recall one of the Cartel’s Inner Circle Member commenting somewhere that the Cartel will know if a wannabe (or any sundry person for that...
