Relapse of dhimmitude

Tony Blair : Terrorism in J&K is a manifestation of global jihad (as opposed to being merely confined to regional dispute between India and land of pure)

Pakistan to India: Turn your cheek, morons

India to Pakistan: Why cheek goodsir! we are going to bend over.

Pakistan to India: Get the vaseline, bitch. On second thoughts we will do it the rough way.


PS. Does the title make one a " Saffronite Scum" . If it does, I am proud of being one.

I don't think so. I think you are right-wing, but far away from being saffronite scum.

Are you disappointed? Do you want to be branded as such? There is a lot of brand equity in that you know. ;-)

Look at Modi and Togadia. Absolute nobodies before 2002. Modi in fact used to be the 3rd or 4th choice, jointly with B P Singhal, to be BJP's tv-studio-man. Now being branded as saffronite scum has given the Modi brand so much equity that he is sure to be a major leader at the national level in a few years.

gaurav ( not "not sabnis" ) : then I think you should have qualified the word saffronite in your original post.

Moreover, ;-) is the trademark for oppressors, not saffronite scums :-))

Sabnis,

I am not any winged creature, I am a down to earth homo sapiens.
But yes I could do with some brand equity.

Seriously speaking as Frog pointed out, your article was not specifically about Modi or Togadia but about people who use pseudo -secularism as a pejorative.
I think even you will concede that is a rather broad category, not limited to VHP activists.

Hence your brush was too broad, methinks.

Just to add I am not in above category, for the reason that I think secularism in Indian context is highly overrated.

Regards

Yes, true, the brush was rather broad.

Sabnis,

Just to clarify I do not mind if the brush is broad for the simple reason that I too have been guilty of that in the past.

Logic ofcourse dictates that I use term in proper context and sense (i.e eschew broad brushes).

However all logic and no malice makes Gaurav a libertarian.

Just kidding ;-)

Regards
