Leftist whites carrying on "white mans burden"

If there is something shrill ,unappealing and off putting about behavior and culture of a minority organization agitating for any specific demand or even dangerously generic such as "change" , it is usually a white leftist meat golem behind them. White leftists have this burning desire to control other peoples lives, not just their fellow white but also minorities. They wish to inform them how to dress, eat,drink,sleep for their own good. Increasingly they have been speaking out against Africans because the latter dared to undermine gay organizations. Now it is not desirable that gays or any other people be discriminated and jailed ,however that is their business. All this agitation for gay rights in Africa is not all that different from when the deep state temporarily made common cause with feminists and other human rights groups to "liberate" Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2012, they were nearly successful in getting Obama to intervene in Uganda due to the Christian...

Balaji Viswanath and Gated Community Patriotism

Recently on Quora I saw a rather old question regarding the failing infrastructure of India why the government is unable to do the required maintenance and upgrades to the bridges, roads or for that matter provide reliable electricty and water supply. Balaji Vishwanath's answer was something that quite puzzling. Now he is a very intelligent and accomplished individual. He has his own robotics company , a graduate of IIT and some elite institution in U.S which I forget. He claims to have inspired by the film Swades to have return to India in order to build and develop his motherland. The story seems a bit filmy for my taste but I am a rather cynical bastard I suppose compared to the easily sentimentally swayed Indian anyway. So it is not outside the realm of possibility. This of course has earned him legions of Indian fans and he is one of the most popular writers on Quora(may have been the most popular at one point). So this is not some random crank we are dealing with bu...

Something very off about Gabriella Burnel

Apparently there is an attractive British woman who majored in Sanskrit and has a lot of YouTube videos of her singing Sanskrit hymns(poorly) and making bland generic statements about Sanskrit. And shockingly she has a very large following with Indians praising her to the skies. By shocking of course i mean- totally expected. I have no idea when this disease of Western approval will go into remission.Anyway what really bothers me about her and frankly gives me the creeps is the way this woman talks. She talks like someone who has been in a cult. Her eyes also indicate the same. There is something very unsettling about her. Add to this her terrible Sanskrit pronunciation and lame statements about Hinduism and Sanskrit and the situation now becomes even more bizarre. To be fair, she did study Sanskrit at Oxford and her pronunication is pretty good for a Westerner but it is still worse than that of an average Hindu ,never mind a pandit.  It is shameful how far so many Hindus are wil...
