Why we Indians need Joe here

[Gibbs]

And why may I ask are you living in the west? A surfeit of democracy in your little island nation of origin?
Please - don't pretend to be so superior, we have seen you with your pants down more than once and It wasn't a pretty sight.

Where i live is of my choice.. An Indian trying to lecture on democracy and the freedom of speech to somebody from the west is the height of comedy..

 

[vsdoc]

Well if that was the genuine intention it has worked on the contrary.. Basically the thread has turned in to taking personal digs at an individual.. Mostly negative, That narrative you mentioned making to the fore and one that you seem to share with that majority here

And hardly or never was that narrative discussed

Lol.. Ok.. An Indian lecturing a person living in the West about Democracy and freedom of speech.. Whats next ?

You seem to be new and I do not really know you or have read too much about or of you or your politics.

You do however seem to be laboring under the illusion that I owe you an explanation.

Kindly take this post as a terminal attempt to disabuse you of the same.

Cheers, Doc

Not really.. My opinion on a international forum.. You can choose to ignore my opinion, Your prerogative, I wont loose sleep over it

Yeah sure, and your running for your life from Sri Lanka and pretending "free choice" is also the height of comedy - give it a rest and stop with the lecturing.

This is a silly argument, let it rest !

I wish I had thought of that !!!

Never too late.

Just whip it out and crank up the revs.

Lol.. Again it's my individual choice where i live.. You smugly asked me to "watch and learn" Indian democracy and freedom of speech at work ? Watch and lean What ? Whats height of comedy is the absurdity of your delusions

Are you talking here about ancient history ?

Joe - followers of Jospeh(Yousuf) who migrated to Egypt

A group of Asiatic peoples (perhaps the future Hyksos) depicted entering Egypt c.1900 BC from the tomb of a 12th dynasty official Khnumhotep II under pharaoh Senusret II at Beni Hasan

Yes yes.

I think it has to do with experience and association - You and I are of a similar age and perhaps we don't carry the weight of the inglorious past of RSS - to us RSS means something different than what it means to Joe.

RSS has no inglorious past. Did not have in the past. Does not have now. Give it a try. In case of any irregularities noted, tag me and inform about the shakha and the karyakarta/s.

I created the thread as a reaction to what I felt was disrespectful hounding of an Indian, at a personal level, because his views were at odds with a certain narrative within India.

It is not a political thread. Even if it might have morphed into one.

Who said anything about Joe leaving? Not me.

This is a public forum. The platform is provided by the management. We participate here freely on our own Internet connections per the rules laid down by the management.

No need to justify.

Everyone gets one chance.

Its the second the spinning puts a kaboosh on.

I am seeing way too much ganging up and hitting out at Joe guys.

I am reminded of the Moto GP race yesterday (and the past few)where the puppies are ganging upand snapping at the withers of the aging lion.

Why is Joe important for us?

He very articulately expresses the view of the far left. Of the liberal. The once communist. The atheist. The secular (no prefix attached). The religion hater. The Modi hater. The Hindu right wing hater.

We have no other like him who also happens to be a Hindu.

More importantly, for me, he's old school.

And we have no Indian babajee his age.

The Pakistanis have a few.

We have exactly zero left (Ray long gone) who can talk to them as a generational equal. And be taken seriously.

So please be respectful.

If he's old enough to be my dad, he's old enough to be most of your dadoo.

I detest greatly those low lifes who abuse him. A physical distaste.

Cheers, Doc

So what you are saying is that without RAVAN we would not have Ramayan.

Hence we should all Love and Respect Ravan ?

Is that how the logic goes ?

After all Ravan had 10 Heads. Rich and Pompous. What more is required to command Respect, Right ?

No man.

In the words of Raadhe Maa ... mai to pure hun.

It just reignited 8 pages back and now a lot of non entities are coming in with unsolicited vishesh tipni.

Yes yes.

No need to justify.

When its about security of the nation both internal and external then its done by the Indian Military and Paramilitary.

And in case of any real war , we will see millions of volunteers from all corners.

So what you are saying is that without RAVAN we would not have Ramayan.

Both Lord Rama and Ravana belongs to ancient Indian tribes and during that era , there use to be divine powers and here we are talking about some thousands of centuries.

Lake Rakshastal aka Ravan kund is near Kailash ManSavorar .

Wow! Good memory!!
Reminds me of somebody
Anybody who speaks in favour of Hinduism is not anti-Muslim or against any other religion.....atleast I am not. But then few like to jump into conclusions.
Btw it was not just me who was labelled hintuvawadi terrorist apologist, the gang included @SpArK @MilSpec and you too.

I must say that somebody had a good sense of humour. Lolz

The funny part is I am least interested in religion.

If you are free some time next week?
I am going to Karnool today.

For some reason, I just saw this post. I am in Hyderabad/on campus the entire time from 4/xi to 11/xi, with engagements on 6/xi, 10/xi and 11/xi. On Friday the 6th, it's lunch. Could we meet afterwards?
