Brilliant piece. It makes me sad that Indians, one of the most talented races on the planet, have been kept in such poverty and squalor by these elite selfish thugs who have been running our country for so many decades.

The headline used is telling. "Intolerance has always existed" suggests that someone is making excuses for it being present now. What Bibek Debroy said was this - "In the intellectual circuit there has always been that intolerance. Let's not pretend otherwise."

It's not that we are witnessing the death throes of intellectualism.

It's just that we are witnessing a certain lean of intellectualism being dragged off their coseted pedestals kicking and screaming in feigned outrage.

I am reminded of France.

Of Russia.

We are having our revolution.

What he is describing is more than just "intolerance" which is a fairly mild world. It was more like the pushing of state sponsored propaganda and complete black out of alternative viewpoints. You tow the Nehruvian socialist line or else you'll never work again - much more than just tame bigotry, it's active snuffing out of alternative view points.

Yeah. Take the case of Gajendra Chauhan & the FTII. No one has made the case that this guy is some sort of an evil monster, the best they can come up with is that he is not the most competent or that he lacks the necessary qualifications (whatever that might be) to head the institute. And what do they do to protest the appointment of this "incompetent & unqualified" chap? They appeal to that great standard bearer of those virtues....Rahul Gandhi...!

Tells you quite a bit of what is happening now.

Reminds me of the Deen Dayal Upadhyay blood donation drive-Bakrid issue. Let's see if there is any outrage.

Shahrukh ko notice mila he

Shah Rukh comments came after ED notice: Lekhi - India News Analysis Opinions on Niti Central - Bold and Right

Lekhi also termed “illiterate” all who have spoken out and returned awards over claims of “growing intolerance” in the country and said they were “patronised (sic)” under Congress’s tenure.”

I want the world to know that he (Shah Rukh) received an ED notice on October 26 and India became intolerant on the 1st or 2nd of November,” Lekhi said on the sidelines of an event here.”

Congress will still survive in punjab, Kerala, Bengal. Possibly in Maharashtra too.

it is dying in bengal. It will be either third or fourth.

Why not ? After all the CM said he eats beef. Diwali means nothing.

To be honest, the more I see things play out here in our country, the more I am convinced that we are in a war for the soul of India.

This is not a war against the minorities.

This is not even a war against one minority.

This is a war to control and run India. Versus to protect one's sanctified turf as the hordes roll in.

This is a war to make sure that the large majority never coalesces into one to prevent that from happening.

This is a war where small special interest hitherto pampered groups will get into bed with each other for that return to status quo.

We saw it playing out in Delhi. We are seeing it play out in Bihar. It will play out in West Bengal as well.

It is just a coincidental byproduct, and not the real crux, that this war also has Hindu lovers and Hindu haters pitted against each other. As a natural gravitation to two teams.

But that's not what the fight is all about. Because the fight is not about India, but the fight for control of India. And the defense of one's turf against the barbarians as they roll in.

Its not going to be sterile or bloodless. The barbarians are armed, educated, articulate, well connected, prosperous and very well fed. On cake and wine alike.

Cheers, Doc

In kerala it's still alive due to weak BJP and demographics .

I hope it will be finished in Punjab , K'taka and M'rashtra by a decades time if any suitable alternative opposition arises .
