• Ugly Muhammad leads to Persia burning

  4 February 06 • 11 comments

  I haven’t yet heard of Indian Muslims acting like tortured souls – have you? Of course, drawing Muhammed was unnecessary considering that it obviously would hurt Muslims the world over, almost two billion people. And Muslims are famous for their rage, uncivilized modes of protest and extreme forms of violence invoking threat in the mind…

• Racist London Media exposed by the Police

  28 January 06 • 0 comment

  The London Metropolitan Police Chief accuses the English media of racial prejudice. Apparently the media cares to hoot about any brown or black person being murdered, while crimes on whites are widely reported for weeks on end. He highlighted the murders of two men from different ethnic backgrounds on the same day. While the killing…

• Pampering the NRI is a dangerous business

  12 January 06 • 2 comments

  The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) just went by creating a lot of sound and noise. Now, this is not anything new. Very many countries are already in the business of wooing their diaspora with incentives and offers for financial or other investments in their native states. India has in fact joined very late, considering that…

• All of England is Diseased

  I’m down with flu again, for the second time this season, and the third this year if I include the one I had in January. Half of my lab is infected – coughing is the only music I can hear. Our housekeeper is infected, some of my housemates, my other friends…and everybody else – and…

• Non-White, Rucksack and Running – Dishum

  30 November 05 • 0 comment

  Most of you will remember the poor Brazilian guy that got killed by zealous London police after the July bomb attacks on the Underground trains. This guy was totally innocent, but being non-White and running to catch a train got him shot some eight times at close range. The police simply needed to show the…

• Insecure India in the middle of Danger

  17 November 05 • 0 comment

  In light of the recently concluded SAARC meet, and of our PM’s concerns regarding the insecurity that is clouding the Indian sub-continent: South Asia is a highly volatile and unstable place indeed! Let’s start somewhere, with our favourite Pakistan. What better example can there be for a Banana Republic? The country is run by a…

• After UN, US calls Congress Corrupt

  14 November 05 • 3 comments

  Washington Post has a detailed editorial of the fiasco that India has been suffering in its political circles after the release of the Volcker report. The report alleged that our until recently foregin minister, Natwar Singh, and the undoubtably corrupt Congress party were beneficiaries of Saddam Hussein’s “oil-for-influence” or “oil-for-money” program! Congress has had scams…

• Islamophobia, Secularism, Terrorism and the Delhi blasts

  30 October 05 • 4 comments

  One day after the deadly bombs, speculation is rife as to who the mastermind is. 61 lives and an unknown terrorist group, Inquilab, have claimed responsibility – but I wonder that this must be just cheap publicity for the new outfit. Will the Indian Govt. step up its anti-terror strategies – it will for a…

• Indian democracy collapsed into Religious terror?

  27 October 05 • 3 comments

  Martha Nussbaum has written another article which is much less unprofessional or controversial than her previous one. I had written a rebuttal to her earlier article, and continue to pooh-pooh her fears for India’s democracy. Which intellectual would not condemn religious riots, be their perpetrators Muslim or Hindu, Catholic or Protestant? So Martha chides the…

• Brown skin vs. Black skin in UK

  26 October 05 • 2 comments

  Weekend riots between African-Carribeans and Pakistanis-Bangladeshis seem to have been pre-planned. Bangladesh used to be the hotspot of racial riots decades back when “coloured” people fought the Whites. But today, the plates have turned and Blacks are fighting the Browns. First, an allegation by the African community that a small girl was raped behind a…
