I am shocked, shocked ...

to find that Maoists don't take bourgeoisie democracy seriously , instead using it as a stepping stone for people's democracy. I mean who could have thunk that Maoists will do such a thing, after all they gave their word.

You know what is not shocking, well the studied silence of the cocktail swishing circuit which not so long was agog with dawn of democracy  and secularism in the erstwhile Hindu Kingdom. I realize I have said this many times but the clique of cosmopolitan flotsam is so beholden to the glory of democracy and secularism that it steadfastly refuses to acknowledge any interference of reality, and is perfectly willing to take India to slow but sure journey of civilizational death in the process.
