The Game of Bogeys
Posted on October 26, 2008 | 8 CommentsI spent most of the last week working behind the scenes to foolproof my blog against its periodic bursts of becoming not reachable. Hence I haven’t really dwelt upon the new mischief concerning Malegaon. Meanwhile, here’s Chandan Mitra, on how the media and secular fundamentalists... -
The White Tiger Redux
Posted on October 20, 2008 | 20 CommentsMeera beautifully weighs in with an open letter to Aravind Adiga. It proves one my pet-peeve theories that the biggest intellectual celebrity is also the one with zero commonsense. I have read much about how you came to write this book. You have been quoted... -
Now that the Nanavati Report is Out…
Posted on October 8, 2008 | 3 CommentsThe media machine with the full backing of the secular establishment is furiously spitting in the hope of running away. The Outlook front page is dripping with hate-everything-Hindu articles. It has fittingly roped in that house nigger par excellence, Pankaj Mishra to idyllically speculate on... -
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. For more than a few weeks, the Slimes has been running a relentless campaign on Kandhamal on its front page (in the... -
Blog Announcement
Posted on October 1, 2008 | No CommentsThere seems to be a problem with my site’s bandwidth. I’m working on resolving it so that it doesn’t recur. Thanks for your patience. Regular programming continues. Tweet -
The Direction of this Blog
Posted on September 14, 2008 | 17 CommentsAfter about seven years of almost nonstop blogging, I have reached a decisive turn. I won’t stop this blog or anything. I’ll continue being rude but much less often. However, I’ve decided to turn to studying more in depth, and writing on the philosophical concepts... -
From Sardar to Shivraj
Posted on August 24, 2008 | No CommentsThis post is just one of the reasons why Nitin is a blogger par excellence. Let there be no mistake—Shivraj Patil is an unmitigated disaster. The worst part is that he is just one of a constellation of individuals in the UPA government who will... -
In Which Amit Varma Joins the Hall of Shame
Posted on August 21, 2008 | 22 CommentsChop Kashmir off India so that I can party in Bombay seems to be Amit Varma’s mantra. Varma’s hypothetical equation of India=British Empire or whatever is a mere diversionary couch to rest his laziness to learn, if not in depth, at least the outlines of... -
Revenge of the Turd
Posted on August 15, 2008 | 4 CommentsTurdesai employs Sagarika Ghose to wreak vengeance against the BJP for railing first, against his open unscrupulousness and then, boycotting his channel. It truly makes for ridiculous reading. Yet, with such a strong tailwind of middle class approval, on such an important mission of creating... -
Public Service Announcement: Indian National Interest
Posted on August 14, 2008 | No CommentsThe Indian National Interest (INI) blogs were down due to server outage. They’re up and running now. Rest reassured. Tweet -
Academic Terrorists
Posted on August 10, 2008 | 10 CommentsGoes by the name of Denise Spellberg. Starting in 2002, Spokane, Wash., journalist Sherry Jones toiled weekends on a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad. Ms. Jones learned Arabic, studied scholarly works about Aisha’s life, and came to admire... -
Pragati August 2008 Edition is Out
Posted on August 5, 2008 | No CommentsProfessional knowledge and professional competence have to be acquired by hard work and by constant study. In this fast-moving technologically developing world you can never acquire sufficient professional knowledge. You have to keep at it, and at it, and at it. Can those of our...
