    Sandy Hook rage over Megyn Kelly's Alex Jones interview

    Oh yes I watch Dave Rubin quite a lot. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons he left TYT was the way Cenk handled the entire issue with Sam Harris, who for my money is one of the sanest voices in the world. The liberal movement has clearly bifurcated between classical liberals (people like...

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    I assume that you do not advocate any of them. Then why do you resign yourself to any/all of them so lightly? We have gone along this path for 70 years now, where we have secular laws while the public at large chooses to base is existence in ideas that are hundreds, if not thousands of years...

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    My friend, you have hit upon the nerve of the issue. Very well articulated, I must say. I have an issue with all bad ideas, be they religious or otherwise. It's not that I disagree with your prognosis that the "believer" is as much a danger to me or my principles as anyone else. But I don't see...

    Price of Rice Highest after Liberation.

    Ooh...that is a lot. Must be hurting the common man.

    Sandy Hook rage over Megyn Kelly's Alex Jones interview

    Denying a platform to Alex Jones or for that matter anyone in his position serves no purpose. It is the same as trying to deny a platform to Rush Limbaugh. Their fan following is on radio shows and podcasts, and mainstream media cannot affect that in any way. OTOH, it makes sense to engage...

    ‘Declare India a Hindu Rashtra’

    Existentialism is not useless, it does serve the purpose of opening a dialogue with positivism and essentialism. Personally, I am not a big fan of deciphering my own views in terms of philosophy, but if pushed on the subject, I would settle for utilitarian consequentialism. As for Humanism, I...

    ‘Declare India a Hindu Rashtra’

    UCC is a charade. It is a political move that will backfire. Let me give you the background. Before I went to law school, I was also a supporter of UCC. Then we were taught our course in personal laws. Ever since, neither I, nor anyone else who knows the law on it, has an opinion on UCC. The...

    Woman mercilessly thrashed in Rajasthan's Nagaur district, Forced to say Jai Shree Ram.

    Aha! So you finally figured out did you?! The clue, as you rightly guessed, was always in my name. Jacob is a name used by those who cannot be taken seriously, as you so brilliantly deduced. As for your amazing achievement of figuring out the secularist agenda, there is a special reward for...

    ‘Declare India a Hindu Rashtra’

    True that. This is bifurcating the world along some really problematic lines. The real developments are taking place in science and technology. AI, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, energy, new forms of computing, etc. While the power available at the disposal of those who control these is...

    Woman mercilessly thrashed in Rajasthan's Nagaur district, Forced to say Jai Shree Ram.

    My my! Guy who likes to see women get beaten by goons also knows big words such as "fifth columnist"?! Where did you learn that word from? Mein Kampf or your neighborhood Shakha? Jokes aside, it is you who is the fifth columnist in our country. People who have blindly handed over the keys to a...

    Narendra Modi government finally manages to break the Swiss bank black money vault

    Smileys and more smileys. Your political agenda will be IGNORED.

    Dalit woman beaten by upper caste Brahmin

    Touche. Let us not get into these invader/local theories. Ethnic cleansing is bad, no matter where it has happened. The ethnic cuisine in Tibet, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia are not suitable for the Han diet. And yet, their numbers steadily grow...

    Price of Rice Highest after Liberation.

    Are these articles talking about inflation-adjusted prices? Otherwise it makes no sense.

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    Yes, but there must be at least a few things that one can hold forth as artifacts worth defending, since you surely seem okay with all possible consequences. Adversarial relations coupled with demographic shift is a recipe for conflict. So one must at least know what you are willing to fight...

    Narendra Modi government finally manages to break the Swiss bank black money vault

    Aah...you are back. How many days before your ban is lifted? Don't worry, I will IGNORE your other IDs as well.

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    I don't want to engage you in a long-winded discussion on issues that will have no conclusion either way. I am sure neither of us have the patience and fortitude for that. However, just out of curiosity, can you mention a few aspects of civilization (as it currently stands) that are exclusively...

    Narendra Modi government finally manages to break the Swiss bank black money vault

    1) If they have no jurisdiction outside India then on what basis did Natwarlal and Co. make those grand claims about return of black money within specified time frame? 2) The previous government did not ask for blanket immunity from its other misdeeds based on its specialization in fighting...

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    Dharmic people (term used by you) is different than Dharmic religion. Only the extreme fundamentalist would argue that religion is the ONLY identity a human has. It would be onerous to put the burden of proof on you to explain how religious mumbo-jumbo is supposed to protect a nation in the...

    Perpetually abroad, Modi loses sight of the grassroots mauled by demonetization

    The part highlighted by you clearly shows that Muslim personal law can be voluntarily applied in UK. You are welcome to want abolition of caste while working on something else instead. And as for the point about declaring victory, it was not meant for you, it was meant for the poster you...

    Narendra Modi government finally manages to break the Swiss bank black money vault

    Not only Natwarlal, they are also Mungerilal, with his haseen sapne. A cursory look at tax haven't will tell you that prospective lists make ZERO sense. The money will be long gone and there will be no names. Secondly, the government even botched up the P-notes reform. Despite all the noise...
