Deconstructing deconstructing

Deconstructing Modi (Via rediff).

Mind boggles at such stupidity. The article is so pathetic that the writes makes no pretense of embellishing this tripe with political buzzwords so as to obscure its purpose. The purpose is clear, to do a particularly absurd Marc Antony on Narendra Modi. Unfortunately it is not even amusing.

"To Modi's critics -- and there are lots and lots -- Israel's endorsement of Modi cannot come as a surprise. Israel is a military industrial state, pogroms, anti-Muslim;[What is she smoking - ed] Modi is… (geddit? geddit?!). But for those of us who are uncomfortable with labels like pseudo-secular, communal, secularist, and so on, it is galling to admit that Modi represents a challenge. He needs to be deconstructed to be understood fully in context."

I do not object to that. Media and journalists are free to criticize and flog Narendra Modi, what infuriates me is that these guardians of public conscience do not have honesty to admit their convictions, instead of that they take shelter behind smokescreen of truth and higher calling.

Indian public more than anything should be wary of these pimps foot soldiers of journalism.
