Yes, in many cases, without realizing it. But so is true for many other societies.

Are you blind? Whats the title of the original article? Cant resist giving it an inflammatory twist, can you?

Confusing. Weren't you welcoming these guys as your brothers when the Ruskies were at your borders in the 70s? So have they outlived their utility?

The author's methods of research have been debunked universally many times over.

And isn't that true for every place?

Bilal, sorry to say, but here's the biased person in you speaking. For every western tourist that has been driven away by the dirt, poverty, cheats etc there have been 100 that have stayed and come back again and again. Most people are able to see beyond the negativity and look at the...

Of course, thats what I mentioned in my second-last sentence. Its the same people suffering on the both side. Take the Naxal case in Chattisgarh - Salwa Judum tribals fighting the Naxals.

It was a general comment. I was talking about the 'disturbed' areas in particular. Of course there are areas where tribals are better off.

It shouldnt, but I am afraid that might happen. The tribals are a trapped lot in the country's interiors. They are still very much dependent on the land and the land is all they have. When a big mining company comes in and acquires mining rights, often in collusion with the local govt., the...

Maybe it ain't your intention, but your post seems to be giving an unnecessary religious color to the incident. There's no apparent need for it as the issue seems to be of exploitation of tribal land for mining purposes by the mining mafia.

Scroll up and see who was the first to whine here!

Just because his name cropped up in the original piece - Dipankar Gupta is a noted sociologist from JNU, Delhi and regularly appears on news TV debates. He's the ones who first pointed out in a series of articles in the Economic Times that Modi's work in Gujarat is not as much an economic...

Good piece. And as rightly pointed out, relevant to both India and Pakistan; perhaps the whole sub-continent.

Thats where you could be wrong. In most cases, a smaller state can be better governed than a bigger one. Examples abound. You probably never heard about the demand for a separate Bundelkhand state.

When has that stopped one from gazing into the crystal ball? :)

This is just the work of one researcher. Lets wait and see if other bigger organizations can verify this.

My guess is Purvanchal and Central UP (Awadh?). Harit Pradesh is Jat and Muslim dominated so a combine of Ajit Singh's RJD and SP might align together. Dont know much about the dynamics of Bundelkhand.

Honestly, the BJP and Congress are the two sides of the same coin. Strip them of their electoral masks and they are no different. You need to go back and read stuff from before BJP's time to be able to say that. Gujarat was amongst the most developed states in India even before the BJP came to...

Not on a defense forum, man! Seriously!
