The Old Days are Back!
Posted on October 14, 2004 | 3 CommentsWith the Congress-led UPA in power, this should come as no surprise to anybody. Banning books, banning films, trying to suppress truth… the good ol’ days are back but not with the same ruthlessness, thank God for small mercies. The realities are certainly different today... -
I guess this Explains our Politics & Babudom
Posted on October 5, 2004 | 1 CommentAnybody who has seen the Vidhana Soudha cannot possibly miss the grossly vulgar line that shouts at you: GOVERNMENT’S WORK IS GOD’S WORK. Yes, all in caps, using the boldest of bold Type. This line, simple as it looks, contains an enormous, almost sinister, implication.... -
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. Ravi’s entry contains a neat distinction between the definitions Socialism and Communism as was understood fifty or eighty years... -
I want my Savarkar: II
Posted on September 16, 2004 | 20 CommentsI’d written about the Savarkar issue last week, trying to point out the futility of straining to appropriate him and/or indulging in meaningless mudslinging, although I should admit that I’m attempting to look at the positive aspects of mudslinging. In the same entry, I had... -
Another Impression of Servility
Posted on September 9, 2004 | 4 CommentsI had written about the house-nigger, Anita Pratap, earlier in my blog. She the Ardent Upholder of the Torch of Pseudo Secularism stoops again! She sees a battle, nay a Mahabharata, a Grand Battle of Secularism versus Hindutva. Before I examine her trash arguments, I’m... -
I want my Savarkar
Posted on September 6, 2004 | 4 CommentsI want my Savarkar, my Gandhi, my Patel, my Bhagat Singh, my Subash Bose…. how many can you count? Mani Shankar Aiyar, an ardent Sonia-pleaser Congress sycophant seems to love to invite trouble at his doorstep. Given his record of sycophancy, we shouldn’t be surprised... -
Indebted to Dilip D’Souza
Posted on August 16, 2004 | 69 CommentsRediff Columnist Dilip D’Souza was patient enough to read this entry on my old blog (which is defunct for all practical purposes and I don’t visit it myself) and was even more gracious to leave a comment on it. I had ranted randomly in that... -
How Much Lower can you Stoop?
Posted on August 12, 2004 | 3 CommentsThis news item for some reason reminded me of a scene from a Telugu movie where a mother chides her money-intoxicated daughter. The proverbial daughter is willing to do anything for money–lets her husband sleep with another woman, doesn’t care for the kids… the works.... -
Prime Minister or Puppet Minister
Posted on August 10, 2004 | 4 CommentsOur Prime Minister’s greatest assets seem to be his Mr. Clean image, his scholarship, and his gentlemanliness/soft-spokenness. I seriously doubt whether he possesses even an iota of shrewdness that characterizes a politician. I may be wrong of course, but this is what I reckon from... -
Do I Smell a Plot?
Posted on August 5, 2004 | 3 CommentsAfter Sibu Soren’s disgraceful exit from the parliament and his deserved entry behind bars, it looks like it’s now Chandrashekar Rao’s turn. Yet another minister in the Manmohan Singh government appeared to be in trouble after a local court today issued a non-bailable warrant against... -
Mulayam’s Cup of Woes is Full
Posted on August 3, 2004 | 2 CommentsI had blogged earlier about the Dynasty’s bacchca Rahul Gandhi taking on Mulayam Singh Yadav. I guess the Congress eminences have indulged in careful planning ever since. The Congress is now contemplating a Quit Mulayam Week from Aug 4. The message is clear to Mulayam:... -
Clueless Congress
Posted on July 29, 2004 | No CommentsIt would’ve been more appropriate if Subash Kak had titled his article as Cluless Congress. Ever since they’ve occupied the throne, the Congress has done everything but govern. The Sonia affair, the Irshat Jahan imbroglio, populism in Andhra, targetting of the Gujarat government, Sonia’s I’m-above-the-law...
