Agnostic. Fiercely secular. Hate bigots! No insults, abuse or patronising. FoE is freedom not to engage with bigots & idiots. Boost not an endorsement.
@aayeff that is so true.
@aayeff to me whenever i see vijaynagar/angkor-wat/pyramid... i think they are built to show, when people come to see/pray, business is devloped, taxes are collected which serves king/govt and people off course people/citizens are the last to gain...
People coming together means information/ideas exchanged...
N so... n so

One set of fresh violence doesn't justify another historical violence. When one advances an instance of violence committed earlier to explain the fresh one, what does it mean?

Its means, they approve punishing a random set of innocents to avenge the violence against another set of innocents. This specious argument is based entirely by identifying the groups by their religion or caste or whatever.

That's not justice! That's medieval revenge! Savage!

I object to the lady uprooting the Hindu Terrorist Flag of the RSS from BHU.

In fact we need more! We need Hindu Terrorist Bhagwas flying over every pothole, every garbage dump, every rape survivor should hold it, every murder victim should also have it, every brothel too!

Do this and see how fast the Hindu Terrorist BJP RSS will either solve the issue or remove flags!

Have you wondered why most places of religious pilgrimage are also good tourist/ vacation spots?
We are witnessing a very dark period. The utter collapse of all important institutions of a democracy. These institutions are created by enabling provisions in the Constitution. Now these institutions seem to work precisely against those very objectives. Bad times all around.
Today would've been Salim Ali's birthday, so happy birthday Mr Ali, and thank you for the definitive book on identifying Indian birds, which I love and use a lot. (I especially like his descriptions!)

To me, the argument that India has always been tolerant and fair to all peoples at all times, is not just harmless naivete but is utterly bogus. It also prevents us from understanding the social mechanisms that allow even ":good" people to turn evil. That is important today.
Friends, in the context of #Ayodhya I am revisting a remarkable book by Milton Mayer: They Thought They Were Free, The Germans 1933-45. Published for the first time in 1995, it is an account of 10 ordinary Germans (a tailor, teacher, policeman, etc), all Nazi party members, through those years. It chronicles the story of these Germans could be moved to acquiesce, allow, condone and then actually participate in the horrors of Nazi Germany. To me it holds lessons and warnings for my own country
