Marxist-Sociologist Nutjob Wanks off on the Pages of the Madras Marxist Rag
Posted on January 5, 2013 | 27 CommentsThis piece was published on Centre Right India yesterday. Comments and criticism welcome as always. Thank God I am not in Madras. If I were, my hands would’ve gotten dirty the moment I flipped to that bilious page of the Madras Mount Road Marxist Rag.... -
Sorry Can’t Make a Dead Man Alive
Posted on May 8, 2012 | 41 CommentsA timeless line from Dr. S.L Bhyrappa’s multi-layered and philosophical novel Saakshi (Witness) reads as follows: There is no greater arrogance than the arrogance wrought by a sense of self-righteousness.

The Slimes of India’s Mask is Off
Posted on October 6, 2008 | 2 CommentsThis post is more an addendum to Barbar Indian’s brilliant analysis of the Slimes’ shocking duplicity in covering the persistent violence at Kandhamal.

Will He Stick to His Words
Posted on August 1, 2008 | 2 CommentsStung bitterly, Prakash Karat has thundered that he will not support the Congress ever.

Attention to Detail
Posted on August 1, 2008 | 2 CommentsI rarely read a professional politician’s articles unless I know his/her record. Sitaram Yechury definitely is in my list of no-reads. As an ex-editor, I’m happy to say that my eye for detail has not diminished one bit. Terror continues to stalk the nation. In... -
Media Games
Posted on July 12, 2008 | 1 CommentForget politics. Media watching promises to be a jolly activity. Rajdeep Sardesai’s fiery journalism leads the charade. CNN-IBN seems to change colours almost every other second. From sounding out the Left in a piece that is shockingly pro-capitalist one day to cozying up to Amar... -
Dear Mr. Ramachandra Guha…Cont’d
Posted on July 4, 2008 | 3 CommentsVia the Acorn, who in this excellent short-shrift to cricket-commentator-turned-pseudo Historian, Ramachandra Guha, adequately delivers the treatment the piece deserves. From the paragraph Nitin quotes, We need to repair, one by one, the institutions that have safeguarded our unity amidst diversity… I challenge Mr. Guha... -
Mosque Demolition Meets Deathly Silence
Posted on June 27, 2008 | 3 CommentsThis mosque demolition strangely stirred extremely feeble protests–if you can call them that.

Posted on June 25, 2008 | 5 CommentsAbout three years ago, Dilip D’Souza concluded that liberalization had done little to improve India’s economy. I had pointed out that his conclusion was fantastic because it was based on just one train journey and a few anecdotal evidences. Tweet -
Did you say Sedition?
Posted on June 18, 2008 | 11 CommentsBarbar Indians’ latest post carries an interesting observation The first involves the following statement by Narendra Modi: “I want to tell the government in Delhi, lets sign a year-long pact, you don’t take any money from us and don’t give us any aid. And then... -
Seema Chisthi, JUST SHUT UP!
Posted on May 26, 2008 | 15 CommentsIf the intent of this idiotic article is to provoke, Indian Express has poorly chosen Seema Chisthi to do the job. It is notable for total lack of clarity, overt one-sidedness, and loudly communal. That it is nakedly pro-Congress is obvious because it is published...
