  • This is not the first time that the Islamomafia has raised its usual shriek of Islam is in danger, and it won’t be the last, I’m sure. Although the present stink is pretty mild by earlier standards–the Indian Ripple Effect over Rushdie’s fatwa, for example–it...

  • Anita Pratap, the hired troll Outlook columnist seems to be smitten by Priyanka Gandhi for her latest crap piece masquerading as analysis actually reads like an appeal for votes by a floundering politician. Charisma is the most powerful component in politics. It breaks through all...

  • The High Priestess of Indian Marxism has spoken again! This time however, she speaks in a different language, but the meaning is the same. She leads us to believe that she is moving–surprise, surprise!–towards an honest examination of the infamous Aryan Invasion Theory. But first,...

  • For a long time, I've refrained from mentioning anything about the Communist Stinkhole (it's a state in India) called West Bengal. Ever since Jyoti Basu took the reins of this now-unfortunate state, things have gone only one way--the Red Way.

    A New Low in the Communist Stinkhole

  • When I started this weblog, I intended it to cover a pretty broad range of topics. Cut to the recent past–over a period of six to eight months–I find that I increasingly focus on Indian politics; what’s more, I enjoy doing it. A casual observation...

  • Several points raised in this news item on Outlook India set me thinking. For one, this prejudiced article masquerades as a news report: its not-too-subtle mudslinging on a widely respected and revered religious head is hard not to notice. Tweet

  • Another hired troll columnist of Outlook does her routine about trashing the positive developments that have taken place in India in the recent years. She says there’s nothing to feel good about the "feel good" factors in India. Instead, she wants us to concentrate on...

    Definitely Feel Good About India

  • This has to be the most disgustingly sycophantic article I’ve ever come across till date. If anything, Mr.Jha seems to be hell-bent on making Sonia madam the Prime Minister of India and thereby guarantee the tyrannical dynastic democracy that plagued India for 50+ years and...
