The unbearable lightness of being a language-hypocrite

What amazes me about the ongoing “language war” between TN and the Centre is the canard about policy  “imposition” … It makes me think we Indians have really no sense of our own history … And hence, our lack of shame about ourselves as a people. We forget that throughout history we had no qualms aboutContinue reading “The unbearable lightness of being a language-hypocrite”

The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-3 of 3) — Concluded

“THE TECHNICIANS” (or rather the TECHNOCRACY) “There is not much to be expected from the third group of Anglicized Hindus, and therefore there is not also much to be said…” … that’s how dismissively if not disparagingly does Nirad Chaudhury write about Technicians (or technocracy) of India in his 1965 book, “The Continent of Circe“.Continue reading “The end of the Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-3 of 3) — Concluded”

The end of Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-1 of 3)

In speech after speech both in Parliament and outside, PM Modi in the last 10 years has never missed seizing upon any opportunity to denigrate the general culture of the Anglicised Hindus of India who PM Jawaharlal Nehru in his own time did so much to nurture and groom as the nation-builders of what wasContinue reading “The end of Nehruvium and the Anglicised-Hindu Class (Part-1 of 3)”

Why both Meta and I think Prime Minister Modi is very naive and over-ambitious about the AI Revolution

India’s Democracy is prosthetic not orthopaedic … Why ?

“Wearing down” Hinduism in a cultural war of attrition

In India’s politics today, the questions being posed to Hindus by anti-Hindus and Woke-Secular Hindus are becoming more and more aggressive and disrespectful. The sophistry and sophistication of their arguments is getting better, shriller and more taunting than ever before. It makes it increasingly difficult and awkward for faithful Hindus to counter effectively or adequately,Continue reading ““Wearing down” Hinduism in a cultural war of attrition”

M/s Hindenburg, A.L.Basham & Dalrymple and India’s colonial “wonder” hangover

For some bizarre and unfathomable reason, you know, reading the article above ⬆️ took me back on memory lane to my school days . In my history lessons for Class 8 we had a text book which had 2 chapters which we were made to study very thoroughly by our class-teacher (BTW, I studied inContinue reading “M/s Hindenburg, A.L.Basham & Dalrymple and India’s colonial “wonder” hangover”
