So, it is NOT that he himself was not a product of dynastic succession and that he only promoted his daughter and other relatives in his time.
After Emirnath, the bitter truth about Mamallahpuram
June 28, 2018
By now, thanks to Times of India to many other secular, liberal media outlets – we all know that Amarnath was indeed founded by a devout Turkic Emir, who out of sheer generosity and enormous goodwill, built the whole mountain range (in what is now known as Pahalgam area, in Anantnag district, Jammu & Kashmir) braving the bitter cold and against all odds, and thereby getting even with Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb.

Ramachandra Guha’s usual selective amnesia, ‘democratic credentials’ of Nehru and venerable Dharampal – some notes
June 26, 2018
Full disclosure: In my opinion 1) The scholarship of Prof Guha is nonexistent in general and if at all it is there, is very partisan and skillfully obfuscatory – of course, this is based on years of reading and observing him 2) Jawaharlal Nehru was a bunch of contradictions & not a democrat – in spite of what his blind hagiographers talk about in breathtakingly glowing terms 3) Dharampal as a historian, scholar and as a human being with incredible integrity, was far, far above the men of straw such as Prof Guha (I am fortunate that I was able to associate with Dharampal at some point of time – and I have also discussed with him about the incidents involving his ‘letter to all members of parliament‘ that happened in 1962; one of my nostalgic posts about my encounters with Dharampal – in Tamil)

Young Turks(!) Vs Young Indians – some notes
March 12, 2018
Let us please understand one thing. ‘India Today Group’ is also a scumbag media house, but it is not SO bad as the ‘The Hindu,’ NDTV and ‘Times of India’ kind of whorehouses. But it is bad enough. Sorry. Read the rest of this entry »
A case for shutting down TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences)
February 27, 2018
Enough is enough. If you really care for quality in Indian education, have a reasonable sense of fairness and basic ethics – would you please publicize this post?
I know this is a shameless request, but how I hate the enjoyment of mediocrity and dastardly thieving of taxpayers’ money – especially by the so called ‘social science’ and therefore ‘socially aware(!)’ students, whose jolly-good life is getting subsidized by the Indian Nation and Parents..
If you have not read this excellent and erudite rebuttal of Vairamuthu (=this yet-another-know-it-all-from-Tamil-filmi-‘cult’ural-scene) so far – please go read it first. Read the rest of this entry »
vairamuthu as well as the book used by him to deride andal are both bunkum, sorry to spoil the fun…
January 12, 2018
Poet(sic) Vairamuthu – in the grand tradition of the Tamil filmi nonsense – is a hilarious clown and ignorant buffoon at best, but as usual has a ‘mASS’ following. Read the rest of this entry »
grand ma’am shabana azmi – some book excerpts
December 1, 2017
When the grand dame of filmi protests makes facile statements about secularism, women’s rights and lefts, it is important that certain other facets of her character are also brought out.
May grand ma’am Shabana Azmi be the mother of a THOUSAND protests!
