'Modi's India' isn't 'flirting' with fascism

[nair]

@Dillinger havent read the article yet, but nice to see you back..... where were u??

 

[Sky lord]

Mehdi Hasan is known for his hate towards Non-Muslims and was always an avid supporter of extremists outfits. I mean can you even imagine a journalist saying these things openly yet being labelled as "Secular and unbiased"

That's no escuse though. A Kapil Sibal or a Sashi Tharoor can explain away anything. They look nice, talk smoothly, Sashi Tharoor would have flirted with big- nose Nitisha. Ram Mahadev with his mockable accent and simple looks was not the man for this job.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

you know why was he booe'd? lemme tell you .. cuz he asked mehdi to control "his ISIS" first and then talk about RSS being extremists (which I agree to)..and booed by whom ? the majority Muslims present in the audience? lol.. BTW am sure he meant ISIS and not 'his ISIS' but thats how people in subcontinent speak.. but am not surprised that, that booing moment was your only consolation in that entire program,

Watch the program again bhai... He wasn't boo'd at that point..

And the majority was actually British -- with Indians and a few Muslims (particularly the guy who owned him in the end when he talked about "Pak Kashmir"..

People didn't understand what he is trying to say though. Like the " factoid" so glibly brought out by the host that 2000 people died in Gujarat. ram Mahadev corrected the figures, but he didn't give the guy grief that he provided deceitful figures in the first place. That should have been a take off point to actually explain to the international media how the spin on Gujarat was being created for political reasons in India...he could not do that. That would have made it easier to explain the connection in India between "rising intolerance" and the elections.

Nobody other than Indians understand the difference between the terms "Hindu culture " and " Hindu religion" he should have explained it. Muslims and Chrisitans in india practice caste when it comes to marriage, india is the only country in the world where churches are "grouped together" in a compound....so in South India you go to the church of the Virgin Mary and then move on to the the "main church"..... Does not happen anywhere else in the world....


Ad that lady was an anti national, they never did their homework and was out in a position of having to apologize to that lying toad!! Unbelievable!

The BJP s media management sucks ! They have no clue how to deal with sophisticated media Chanels.

It was proven within minutes the program started the data and even the quotes presented in the program were wrong... Ram Madhav had to correct it on more than two occasions to which Mehdi had to apologise right there. I think Arun jaitley would have been a better candidate for this interview.. or may be even Mr. Swamy

I request you to do the same...please watch it again

yes majority were British and no there were not a few muslims, it was filled with Muslims and Indians equally... the guy whom you claim to have owned him was not even answered (i hope you noticed that as well), and simply ignored b saying he was entitled to his position but for him, the area was Pak Occupied Kashmir.

Did you watch the program with Hina rabanni khar? Surprisingly , this guy hasan who is a Shia muslim himself was less worried by the killings of thousands of Shias in Pak than he was by "rising intolerance " in India. Sometimes I think what really bothers these people are not killings themselves but who is doing the killings.

yes I saw that. In fact the reason why I keep on saying Ram Madhav did a fair job is when I compare that interview of Hina Rabbani Khar where she kept on raising hands and accepting mistakes, this guy atleast had his answrs ready. But you are right, Mehdi seemed more worried about Akhand Bharat concept than Shia killing... lol

 

[Dalit]

LOL Ram Madhav the same nut job believing Pakistan and India will become one once again. There is no shortage of nut jobs these days.

No doubt that India has become a hub of intolerance where people from different faiths are rounded up and massacred for consuming beef. No doubt that sexual violence against women in India has become rampant under the watch of Modi. Can't deny these facts.

You know something is terribly wrong when an Indian lover like Salman Rushdie has to stand up and criticize Indian intolerance. That takes some doing.

Because Mehdi is Indian-origin.
You Indians whine about this "Ummah mentality" among Muslims but are at the same time complaining that Mehdi is more concerned about India (his home country) than Pakistani Muslims? You've spent too much time in the designated shitting streets, my friend. Get some fresh air inside your head so you can begin thinking straight.

 

[Hyperion]

Welcome back ma man and a very happy new year!

[Anuj Tagra]

I saw the entire interview.. trust me, Ram Madhav seemed a hard nut to crack for the entire length of the program... the answers from Ram Madhav were prompt and accurate. In fact Mehdi was under pressure when Ram Madhav started refuting his facts through the correct figures (the ones presented by Mehdi were incorrect)... in fact when the interview ended, Mehdi admitted on camera that Madhav's intevriew was a tough case. I wish Ram madhav was a little more fluent in english, at least the modern english that uses a lot of jargons. Good interview it was.

Exactly and that prof Gautam Sen was doing some great trolling of Nitasha Kaul.

you know why was he booe'd? lemme tell you .. cuz he asked mehdi to control "his ISIS" first and then talk about RSS being extremists (which I agree to)..and booed by whom ? the majority Muslims present in the audience? lol..

yeah Ram Madhav's english was poor and his weakness,he spoke like old indian people do,using your and mehdi tried to milk the moment like a rabid schoolboy,if he does it in a normal mehfil,he will be slapped into good behaviour.

India origin Muslim of pre 1947?

Then he is a 50-50,we dont if his family would have migrated to Pak or not?

when you as an anchor show biasness and focus more on a dead concept on paper than actual killing of human being then it doesnt matter whether you are from India or Pakistan or a Hindu or a Muslim, you are simply wrong. your job is to work as an advocate of the audience not bring your personal emotions into the interview. Please get out of the shit hole that live in to have such a mentality that an anchor should be concerned only about the matter relating to his country of origin and not to other issue like Shia killings. Please get that shitload out from your half working brain and then come and talk to me. Dont use profanity against me next time you quote me or else expect reply in the same lines.

No flirting, just making out and getting laid..

True, shashi tharoor would have owned mehdi hasan big time, if he was at it.

Bjp needs to rope in someone like tharoor in the party.

I think mehdi hasan purposefully called ram madhav, although there were more eligible speakers from bjp, thinking that ram would be a soft target.
But he was in for a good surprise.

And tell me, why would he discuss Shia killings in Pakistan with an Indian party leader? Why is it that whenever an Indian is confronted with a bitter pill of truth, instead of swallowing it down, they insist on vomiting it out while screaming whataboutisms?

India origin Muslim of pre 1947?

Then he is a 50-50,we dont if his family would have migrated to Pak or not?

He's stated that he is an Indian.

you hit the nail on the head. People mistake Madhav's hindi-colloqial English as politically incorrect statements. He was well informed and unfazed. The interviewer and much of the audience, used to sugar coated fluff for answers, did not know how to deal with this guy. I actually came out thinking he had truth on his side
