nyt's review of the mao book that kristof also wrote about.
now when will we get similar books laying out the gory secrets of india's own deified monsters? of course i must not name names but you know who i am talking about :-)
actually the information is out there but we've been fed with so much disinformation that the mythology has overtaken the truth. mythology has become truth through continuous propaganda.
and truth has been turned into mythology, for which worthies get honorary phds from oxbridge.

Yes. It's high time we learn the truth about some of those 'leaders'. To begin with, someone who was the first prime minister of India. I still did not name names...

it is shocking to see congress leaders of old being compared to mao. it belittles the genocide carried out by Mao .
if at all Congress is a collection of failed ideas, ideas that they sold for long without any opposition.
they sold the ideas for long because the right wingers were( and are) courting (or imitating)Hitler's Nazi Party, trying to imitate the hate for jews with hate for muslims .
Please dont blame your failure to Congress's success in selling bad ideas.
if at all learn from them about how to be organized.
'Shocked' Anon is a good example of the brainwashed masses in India and it shows that literacy is not the same as education. Genocide comes in many forms, including impoverishment which is slow starvation. The British killed 30 million Indians through famines. India's Congress 'leaders' committed a crime against humanity by preventing Indians from prospering. They condemned half a billion people to poverty. This is genocide. Mao was more straightforward and murdered people instantly. India's 'leaders' killed people inch by inch. They also colluded in the genocides of Tibetans and Kashmiri Pundits. They were/are true monsters.
Mitra,
By making comparisions with Hitler/Nazi you have shown your true colour.
I regret my wasting time on you that day.

Had found this in a blog somewhere else and didn't understand it then, but now it's becoming clear.
Godwin's Law
I agree with secon Anon. Genocide can come in many ways. The fact that can not be denied is that the fundamental problems the country is facing today are a direct legacy of Nehru and Gandhi. In his defence, Gandhi was an idealist. But Nehru was outrightly foolish and communal. I also agree the BJP has not done any good to Hindus. And it's not because of 'ideological fanatism' of RSS, but because of lack of it.

Hitler's approach to tackle the minority(jew) problem was to eliminate them physically(by killing or deporting). This is a valid approach
Racist mitrrrr.. is back to his farting ways again. mitra, go get your daily supply of nordic genes through your rear-end.
why should anyone have a problem if RSS is compared with the Nazi party. both are right wingers with compatible philosophies. it is hilarious when the blogger compares marxism to fundamentalist islam. marxism is left wing and not compatible with right wing fundamentalism. compare marxism with the soviet communism or chinese maoism.
anyway the words dont matter, extreme right or extreme left doesnt matter. both live to kill.
UCC anyone? How come "right wingers" are the only one's asking for it?
If RSS was Nazi, how come Muslims and Christians could still rule the country -by proxy or otherwise. The fact that people like Syed Sahabuddin, Sabhana Azmi, Arundati Roy and a host of Hindu-bashers are not only living but enjoying power and celebrity should be proof enough that RSS is not a fundamentalist organization. If RSS is communal as is being accussed day in and day out, by now all the minorities in India would have either been converted or killed -- which is exactly what happened in Pakistan and Bangladesh. But, I wouldn't trust Kuldip Nayyars, Kushwant Singhs and Sabhana Azmi's to have little brain to understand simple facts like these.

Also, regretfully, there is no answer to their menace as far as I can see, except making ourselves stronger, and believing in ourselves and our culture, our religion.
Well said DarkStorm. This exactly what Aurobindo advocated. He said something like, 'Let Hindus make themselves strong by organizing into groups, and the muslim problem will be tackled automatically.'
This is what a host of the much hated RSS, BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal etc are trying to do.
UCC is being demanded by the "right wingers" because it will serve them to undercut the left.
a very good example, is the republicans in the US always demanding that judges should interpret the constitution in its original meaning( the so called constructionists). do you think right wing christian fundamentalists care a hoot about the constitution?
they want it interpreted "orginally" because it serves their self interest, which is to undercut minority programs and affirmative action and whole lot of things.
actually demand for UCC is directly incompatible with the demand for a hindu state, but no one bothers to think of that.but both of that the demands are that of RSS/BJP. can anyone tell me why so ?( my short answer, the hindu state demand is to attract the illiterate hindu fundamentalists( like the babri masjid destroyers), the UCC is to attaract the learned secular hindus( like many readersof this blog).
There is a difference between Hindu state and Hindu country, you idiot.
India is already a Hindu country and the RSS-BJP want to keep it that way. They dont want a Hindu state a la Pakland, Iran, Saudi etc.
Hey Mitra - why do you post your crap on this blog? There are enough blogs for communists, idiots and people who would sell there mother to keep you suitably occupied.
'Illegitimi non carborundum'- Don't let the bastards gring you down.
