Well, I am not sure. But a part of me died when I read the news/rumor. Hence the RIP message.

I loved the way he used Malcontents for sickulars.
T. V. Mohandas Pai on PM Modi's visit to Silicon Valley - The Hindu
Dang ! Double Dang !!
I m ROCKSTAR now !!
Now the real article .
I was in New York and California just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit. I have travelled often to the U.S. but never before has there been such excitement about any Indian leader’s visit as now. Both Americans and Indians were animatedly discussing the visit, there was an air of expectancy, and overall the mood about India was positive after a very long time. Of course, I am unaware about the American response to Jawaharlal Nehru’s visit many decades ago, but this visit of Mr. Modi was certainly special.
Mr. Modi made a splash in New York; even the taxi drivers were discussing his visit. Business leaders queued up for meetings and the Indian media covered the visit extensively. Well-known Indian television anchors were there, building up the excitement both in the U.S. and back home in India. Of course, Leftist academics and malcontents, both Indian and American, made their usual pitch, with vague accusations against Digital India. This time around, there was a strong counter from the right-of-centre group, and an uneasy calm prevailed in the war of words. The techies in Silicon Valley ignored the accusations, making it a non-event.
But the Prime Minister’s visit to Silicon Valley was the icing on the cake. There was a rapturous welcome from the largely techie crowd, both American and Indian. Many volunteers had been working hard for the visit, for they saw in Mr. Modi an answer to their long-standing prayer for a strong Indian leader who the world would respect. On the East Coast, the Pope made waves; on the West Coast, where technology is God, Prime Minister Modi rode the waves.
Microsoft’s Satya Nadella announced many initiatives, including using the white spaces in TV broadcasting to reach India’s six lakh villages, as well as more investments. He also announced Microsoft’s cloud services from data centres in India, a first from a multinational corporation. This will, one hopes, lead to a privacy law in India and the storage of private data here, protecting us from the prying eyes of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).
Facebook clearly stole the show with Mark Zuckerberg’s Town Hall meeting at the social media giant’s campus. It was an emotional show, with Mr. Modi breaking down when he spoke of the travails and sacrifices of his mother as she struggled to provide for the family. Many in the audience had tears in their eyes, as they witnessed India’s strongman holding back his tears, exposing his soft and human side to the world. Of course, the opposition back home made fun of his emotions, further losing the votes of the many Indian viewers who saw the event on television. Prime Minister Modi’s support base increased further.
Google showed off its technology to a tech-savvy leader, proudly led by Indian-born Sundar Pichai. The power of Google Earth was displayed, followed by a private session to which media had no access, and the Karl Mehta-led ‘Code for India’ hackathon, which built apps for India, stayed up the whole night. Prime Minister Modi was happy that everything was building up for his big show. Mr. Pichai announced Google’s adoption of 500 railway stations for high-speed, HD streaming Wifi, which will set a new standard for wireless in India and show up the pathetic service provided by Indian telcos.
Crowd connect
The night show in the 18,000-seater, packed stadium at the SAP Centre in San Jose was spectacular. The razzmatazz of the cultural shows whipped up emotions and then ‘the man’ arrived. He mesmerised the crowd, who roared in approval, telling us back here how much they loved him. He spoke to his audiences in India too, further increasing his approval ratings. No political leader in the recent past, globally, has matched Mr. Modi’s Valley visit and masterful performance.
Why was there this great interest in Mr. Modi in the Valley? Well, Americans, Indians, and techies saw in him a tech-savvy leader who was pro-business, decisive, articulate, charismatic and who exuded strength. They recognised that India was the last great, unconquered digital market after China and Prime Minister Modi’s Digital India project could empower 1.25 billion people in India digitally. And if this succeeded, there would be a new model to reach the three billion people across the world who are left out of the digital web in a low-cost manner.
They all wanted a piece of the action. So, Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Apple, who want to own the whole world digitally, saw in Mr. Modi the answer to their dreams. The India brand was at an all-time high, with the world slowly regaining its faith in India after the decline during the dying years of the United Progressive Alliance.
The techies were ecstatic, their stock was up, their prayers of a strong India likely to be answered. They could finally boast among Americans of a fast-growing, tech-strong economy, led by a leader who could finally make the future happen in India.
Why are Indians in India ecstatic about the visit? Well, the Indian brand has gone up tremendously in the U.S., and globally. Indians see in Mr. Modi a leader who can bring in growth and development, digitally empower every Indian, increase tech investment massively, improve the ease of doing business, reduce corruption, and get the dollars flowing in again — meaning more jobs and more investments soon.
Mr. Modi has seen the huge innovation engine in the Valley, the great start-up culture, the good infrastructure, the dynamic, ‘can-do’, optimistic, and liberal spirit and the impact that great universities can have on the economy. If he can use his experience to liberate Indian universities from the clutches of bureaucrats and regulators, and set them free to innovate, research and incubate great start-ups, India would certainly have benefited greatly from his visit.
Prime Minister Modi and Silicon Valley could change India forever, if he is able to deliver on his promise.

Amit Shah deploys Union Ministers : The Hindu - Mobile edition
It seems now BJP is firing it's all cylinders. But since women voters are equally important , I would like BJP to field Shushma as soon as she returns from US. Her being an exceptional orator was never in doubt but in these close neck to neck fight, it's about time that BJP unsheath representatives of every hue and cry. General VK Singh too can have tremendous impact on Bihari electorate.
I hope BJP learnt things or few from last Delhi elections.

Just going to leave this here:
1) where are all these protestors? I can see police outnumbering them 2-1
2) "Indians" sure are awfully pale looking in the US (by the way he is an American evangelical Christian "activist" who urged Police in the US to let him through their line "in the name of Jesus Christ" but God knows what his agenda actually is)
God, what pathetic interest group/NGO is funding these clowns I wonder? Follow the money.
Edit. earlier that day:
Anyone else see that chap with a great big smile on his face in the crowd? What's that on his head?
P.P.S, in San Jose with a few Gujaratis:

I understand. The man was a legend.
Nice discussion on the recent issues in Indo-Nepal ties.
Agree that in this case things should have been handled better, and also perception needs to be worked on. If you go through some Nepali newspapers. they make Pakistani ones seem tame in comparison. Even though, our own media acts very anti India at times, that needs to be fixed too.

How do such stupid people get to anchor Rajya Sabha TV?? & I though Only Sagarika could make such a stupid statement.
Okay to clear her doubts let me say this:-
Jungle Raj is
- When people are kidnapped or murdered, their relatives are threatened by goondas,MLAs & Policemen if they dare open their mouth regarding this;
- then they are beaten up & a few bones are broken & the womenfolk are assaulted or raped(in the worst case) by the afore-mentioned if they dare to open their mouth to the media & the world or create some tamasha/drama[i.e. protest rally]
[Don't worry about the kids,all the children in the house would have been shifted to boarding schools/relative's homes outside Bihar for their safety a long,long time back] - after which their belongings are taken(money,gold,car etc) away from them & extra threats are given;
- the mediawalas are beaten blue & black & told to get lost when they try to investigate into such incidents.
- The CM's only response is that they are from this or that caste & didn't vote for him so why should he help them? Or it would be some other shameless/ridiculous statement.
- No probe would be announced nor compensation provided to the family. & even if any compensation is given, corruption by babus & netas would take half of the intended amount. & to get the other half from the govt,(which remains). the family would have to pay a bribe.
Any probe announced would be a joke
Of course all of the above would only happen if Dabholkar, Pansare and Kalburgi were not Yadavs or Muslims.
Had they been Maha-Dalits or Upper Castes then multiply the brutality,intensity,threats & beatings of what I had written above by atleast two.

Imma regular RSTV watcher and arfa (ex-ndtv) is one of my fav anchors she has her personal biases (mostly due to religious reasons) but does well to hide it when on air
Also i think most of those rationalists named were murdered in Cong ruled states, all the more reason to reject Gatbhandan ,not to forget to noted the culprit was bought to book under current BJP regime, i posted the same in her facebook post and she blocked me
