The Left in India has played many parts in the (political) play, sometimes a lion, never a lamb. It essentially slowed down the march of the Right. Even today the Right is missing in Kerala and Bengal, two states which have proud Hindu/Hindutva traditions. Shankar Acharya, the super-man who restored Hinduism to its original glory … Continue reading Left must exit, stage left (says “real India”)
…and even the worm will finally turn (no, we are not fond of the emperor/clothes stuff). TH Mustafa, a veteran Congressman from Kerala, is like a refreshing breath of air. There is definitely a tinge of sadness (for Congress supporters) about what could have been if only Mr Joker had the humility to remove himself … Continue reading The truth will always out
The novel had imparted quite a nasty shock at an impressionable age, hopefully the real-life drama will play out on a happier note for the sake of India and Indians. Key takeaways (yes we know, the following are all anecdotes): (1) Indian elites are really really shallow (as expected). To them Hindutva is a visit … Continue reading Great Expectations
If this is the best of times for Gujarati expats, it is also the worst of times for non-Gujaratis like Saptarshi Ray. These non-Gujju expats – (mostly) upper-caste folks, brought up in the non-UKIP, non-Tea Party traditions of the West, which celebrates minorities (and some minorities more than others) – are also known as Coconuts … Continue reading Feelings (fears) of a (expat) Coconut
The Silver Jubilee of the massacres in Tianenmen Square (dated June 05, 1989) is just around the corner. The episode is mostly forgotten. If people remember it at all, then the sentiment is most likely to be open admiration- there are no dearth of Chicom fan circles in the left-liberal universe in the West, and … Continue reading On Tianenmen 25 Yr eve, tanks roll out in Urumqui
In much of our discourse we take postures based on a common body of “privately held” information, so naturally when people ask questions, we are taken aback (it cannot be helped that the archives are destroyed so a simple pointer will not suffice). We think this question is primarily interesting because Israel and Pakistan are … Continue reading How alike are Pakistan and Israel?
Yes, we are also sad (and a bit stunned) at the unexpected turn of (political) fortunes but this is how unhinged the (upper-caste) warriors of the left have become. Dear Anand, with all due respect, there will be no loss of dignity for the Niyamgiri tribal folks if you play by proper Queen’s English … Continue reading !!!!!!

With India getting all set for Hindu/Hindutva rule new promising opportunities are on the horizon. The economy is suffering and there are very few good jobs. Now the Supreme Court is ready to step in and contribute towards (very high-end) job creation. We need urgently programs/majors such as Religious Engineering and Religious Management. Will the … Continue reading Jobs in religious engineering (5 Lakhs/month)
History of Russia- as an American sees it. For all the sneerings there was a time when the Americans were scared shit about communism. Millions of people (including Bangladeshis, majority Hindus) were killed because America either stood by its bastards or actively participated in the tortures and massacres. And yes, the only people to launch … Continue reading Russians are losers
