Appeal for public safety
Dear Dr. Ramadoss,
While I applaud your decision to ban smoking in public places , I am shocked that you have ignored an even more serious hazard against public safety. Please, for God's sake get a restraining order against Archana Puran Singh laughing in public place. I am traumatized. Amma Malange.
Watch the video. You will die before it ends. The torture starts at 1 minute mark.
Not really a puzzle
Q. What is the height of optimism.
A. Goldie Behl giving open ending to Drona , supposedly for sequel. You can all ROTFLMAO now.
PS. I was thinking of going to Welcome to Sajjanpur , but thanks to goat lover , I am not going to go near it.
Meaningful cinema ! What will I even do with it. I want escape, at escape velocity no less.
PPS. Ritwik would have called it reverse snobbery, and he would have been right.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant
I was going to write on conversion controversy but DataNazi beat me to it . I agree with him. Conversions, if through coercion, can be dealt with existing laws, there is no reason to enact a new law for this. As far as inducement is concerned, while dishonest and despicable to the core, it should not be illegal.
Problem is, we Hindus lack intellectual leadership to grasp much less tackle any long term challenges. First, let's call conversion for what it is, a depravity not only against Hindus but also against the converted. It therefore is important that this threat be countered. Since legal aid is out of question, what can be done. Since I intend this to be brief, following can be done for starters.
1. Close the tap. Indians have a right to practice their religion in India, this right doesn't extend to the foreigners trying to save us heathen Hindoos from horrible sin of idolatry. DataNazi asks for public audit. I say fuck it. Go for full ban. Double quick.
2. Do the fieldwork. Missionaries may have money, but we have the numbers. We should (and that includes me) should contribute in whatever way we can.
3. Own the narrative. They say that they have a right nay duty to save our heathen posteriors. Well then we too have a right to show these missionaries and evangelicals for what they are. They are nothing more than a bunch of bigoted freaks who worship a petty tyrant of a god, and who intend to destroy our civilization, who wage a war of cultural annihilation, who are eager instruments of cultural imperialism against this land of eternal faith. They are wolves under the skin of lamb. They speak of Lord but work for serpent. They speak in the forked tongue. Make Hindus aware of the indoctrination that goes in these convents schools.
3. Begin long march for institutions, do it now. This is a minor tweak on Gramsci . We already own the cultural institutions. However we must also become competitive in media and education. I hope the reason is obvious, we have to ensure our channel of communication, ability to stake a position in public discourse without depending on the journalists, priest of secular altar, and ability to foster a school of thought based on cultural nationalism. Since the existing sec-lib establishment will not allow cultural nationalists to gain a foothold we must strive to work under the radar and use advance technology (FM, cable etc see this post by Yossarian, our Hindutva fascist mole in INI) as well as the grass root to create such institutions, in other words by pass the gatekeepers of social narrative.
As I said earlier in a related context, Kalki is not coming , we must become our own Kalkis. We must strive for the light ourselves, we must find the truth by ourselves., we must achieve immortality on our own.
PS. Please read what Prasannaji has written .

Public Enemies
Usually I have a high tolerance limit for the lies and distortions put forward by dhimmi media, mostly because I rarely read or view it, but the way it has gone out of way to obfuscate the menace of terrorism is a low even I didn't imagine it could stoop to.
Instead of having discussion on political and policy response to terrorism, it is publishing nonsensical platitudes on peace by Tibetan monks*. As if all that terrorists are waiting for chants of Om Shantih Om before laying down the arms and becoming Sufis.
This, however, is nothing compared to what it is doing regarding Muslims, instead of investigating indoctrination and radicalization of the Muslims, it is busy grievance mongering, fanning the narrative of Muslim victim hood and persecution by vast Hindutva fascists cabal. I hope everyone realizes that terrorism more than law and order problem has to do with narrative and perception. So not only our dhimmi media is perverting the discourse, they are also providing terror merchants with raw material for propaganda.
How long before IM starts simply pointing to our dhimmi media (henceforth referred to as ODM) for their justification. Let's be clear about this, media is not just acting against Sangh Parivar like they do always, or even Hindus like they do almost always. They are actively working against integrity of India and livers of her citizens. And make no mistake, they are not doing it for Muslims. They are doing it for victims, because if there is one thing more than anything which our secular liberal establishment needs for survival, it is a victim.
ODM must be stopped. It is not a watchdog, never have been, it is a Napoleon's dog.
* No offense to Tibetan monks, but we don't need any lesson in self preservation from them.
PS. I am not much of a conspiracy nut but how long before governments in Orissa and Karnataka are dismissed. Also how long before some or all branches of Sangh Parivar are banned.
Financial meltdown
Respected Ma'am asked me about it. Well, I have no idea how it happened, in fact the question is little surprising , as I have never shown any interest in markets. At most I can link to GB and Rohit* who have written on it.
If I understand what both wrote correctly, the crash could have been a result of greed and stupidity on a massive scale, (as Alan Greenspan put it irrational exuberance ), or a result of well intentioned but unsound policy decisions by US Congress. I will be on the safe side and split the difference. Pox on both the houses !
Of course I still wait for Ritwik to come forward and educate the people, like only he can do, as Ravikiran is busy with an impending important delivery.
* There is something wrong when people have to go to RTDM and street car for serious stuff. It is not that GB and Rohit are not intelligent, it is just that they are known for humor and (unintended) goat humor.
Update : Just a minor revision. I think original sin has been committed by US govt. in that by setting up implicit guarantee behind Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae it distorted the market by encouraging the lenders to make bad loans. This was compounded by irrational exuberance of The Wall Street, and, well we have a disaster at hand don't we.

Post on misc.
In case some of you were wondering, I am still very much alive. The hiatus is due to a combination of falling sick, deadline and vacations. Anyhow few points in no particular order.
1. This is disappointing. Ritwik returns after a long long time, to blog about eminent douche bag ! I mean what is wrong with him. For one I was expecting that he will comment on the ongoing financial meltdown. Instead this is what he writes about. Sad, even considering that he is in all probability jobless, but since we all are going to be jobless anyway, the least he can do is to enlighten the ignorant.
2. On this post , I agree and disagree. Agree in that while lawyers do have a right to refuse to take up a case, it should be done by the individual lawyers considering the merit of case and not adopted by bar association as a general rule for any particular category of cases. Every accused deserve a fair chance of representation for the judiciary to function and for preventing state from harassing citizens.
However I strongly disagree with Rohit when he says that Indian judiciary is fair. It is not within any sensible definition. Now it is true judge are by and large impartial, but long procedural delays and loopholes for all practical purposes deny any fairness to citizen. I believe that how the citizens view any organ of state is a good measure of its success. Well, I don't think that anyone will really object if I say that Indian judiciary doesn't inspire any confidence as a deliverer of justice. People will do anything to avoid going to court. It is easy to feel complacent about existence of institutions, however Indian judiciary has failed in fairness by the most important measure namely delivery.
