It is hard to tell what exactly the Indian air strike achieved inside Pakistan. There does not seem to have been much information forthcoming from the Indian government which suggests it was George W Bush described Clintons strikes against Osama in 1998-hitting a camel in the butt Never mind that ,what is worse the Indian Air Force in its bravado blundered into an ambush and got downed with a pilot captured by the enemy I dont know who to blame -Modi or the incompetant military which gives him counsel. I can understand Modi's rush to jaction, he has to maintain his reputation of a hawk with elections so close right before the terrorist attacks martyring 40 soldiers. But just because he can , it doesnt mean it shouldnt. Is there any planning or intelligence when comes to military operations. It seems the Indian military doesnt do any training for a mission but simply ahem wings it. The most sorry spectacle of which was the 26/11 fiasco where the NSG actually had to gather comma...

I speak of Kamala Harris, Senator from California who is half Jamaican ,half Tamil and a complete hack and incompetent. She got a break in politics by sleeping with the mayor of San Francisco, he was 60, she was 29. He admitted as much recently Then we have Tulsi Gabbard, an American convert to Hinduism. A war veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. Probably the most formidable of the lot. Her foreign policy instincts are sound. But American public are least interested in her loony socialist schemes in a bull economy. Then we have Elizabeth Warren, a blond blue eyed woman whiter than the cream of milk from a cow in a Norway January who claims to have Indian(casino, not 711 or rather feather not dot) heritage. She beclowned herself by taking a DNA test and revealing that she had only 1/1024th Indian blood. The Indian media will go into hysterics celebrating Kamala Harris.And the feminist will quickly ignore or rationalize Senator Harris sleeping her way to the top. Problem is Kamala id...

While I may sound like a secularist for referring to Hindutvadis as fascist, one has to keep in mind that I find Indian society in general irrespective of political ideology, religion , class or caste to be quite fascist as in hardly any of them respect free speech , easily create mobs ,incite riots and destruction of property, refer to politicians as brothers, uncles and mothers and so on By Western standards this is very much a fascist mindset. However in singling out Hindutvadis in this instance is their distaste for diversity. Fascists dont care for diversity as it gets in the way of their agenda. While I admire Savarkar, there are many things he didnt give a lot of thought to such as his declaration of "One nation,one religion, one language". Sure the nation is India, the religion is Hinduism , but which language was it that he had in mind. We have seen how Hindi is a no go for most Indians not from the Hindi belt. Regarding Hinduism we have to ask which Hinduism ...

Aamir Khan has become a target for Hindutvadis after his diatribe against the current administration with regard to its record on Muslims. While it was a tad hysterical (he is after all a Bollywood actor), I suppose the Modi's record of dealing with minorities isnt exactly sparkling. But then we have this situation going on in China One million Muslims are being held right now in Chinese internment camps, according to estimates cited by the UN and U.S. officials. Former inmates—most of whom are Uighurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority—have told reporters that over the course of an indoctrination process lasting several months, they were forced to renounce Islam, criticize their own Islamic beliefs and those of fellow inmates, and recite Communist Party propaganda songs for hours each day. There are media reports of inmates being forced to eat pork and drink alcohol, which are forbidden to Muslims, as well as reports of torture and death. It is hard to believe that one...

To be fair, the captain looks pretty strong for his age and seems to move around with ease. That said his claims about ease in lifting weights is bullshit Just look at his awful form in the link(the videos are after the two cancelled Youtube videos embedded links) Any weaklings can move around heavy weights in a jerky uncontrolled motion depending on momentum to do the actual work. The tough part is to remain steady and have a controlled, mindful and smooth form and motion. The captain fails in all fronts. The very fact that his devotees cant see this and admires him for these videos proves that they even more physically useless than him

I find it amazing that the pundit class dont care for their namesake ethnic group Kashmiri Pandits but are shedding copious amount of tears for some people they have barely heard a minute ago. Kashmiri Pundits are displaced from their own land and are internal refugees in their own country. How about rehabilitating them first? But then that would not earn Girish Karnad and company applause of the smart set abroad. Amazing things about Indian leftists - for all their anti American /anti imperialist chanting they are quite eager for a pat on the head from the whites But then Hindutvadis are the same. Perhaps the country may unite around this sentiment of degrading ourselves in front of foreigners. Hari Om Vande Mataram

Rajeev Srinivasan is a noted and accomplished writer on Innovation and technology given his impressive background from IIT Madras and Silicon Valley. He is also quite anti American, a heavy breathing hyper patriot with overflowing love for Bharatmata and has been spewing venom against any thing American since the mid 1990s. Also he has been residing in San Francisco since then and shows no sign of leaving. But that is too easy , lets leave that for now. What is interesting was defense of Lakireddy Balireddy in early 2000. A respected entrepreneur in Berkeley(a restauranteur and the largest land owner in the area apart from the University of California) who was convicted of raping and killing an underage girl who kept under lock and chain in an apartment where she suffered untold number of horrors. Mr. Srinivasans first and immediate response was to chastise those Indian Americans who condemned Balireddy as sellouts who wish to grovel to the white man. Even as Lakiredd...
