ELM's obsession with "activists" in Gujarat

Becoming a "social scientist" or an "activist" is the latest job opportunity for the jhola-bindi types in gujarat.

Which gives them the authority to spout tripe like this:

The Gujarat Freedom of Religion Act is in its essence a communal legislation. It is communal not because it views all religions except Hinduism with suspicion, which it does. It is communal because it does not understand the true nature of faith, belief and a deep religious quest. It is suspicious of faith itself.

Retards like this need to be Shift-deleted, but the ELM gives hinduphobes plenty of room to sound "intellectual".

PS. What exactly IS a "social scientist" anyway? Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Anthropologist? Epidemiologist? Statistician?
Don't the humanties types say social stuff is too complex to be at the mercy of "linear and reductionist" scientists? Does that make "social scientist" an oxy-moron?

Are these scientists ( whatever that means) at all ? Or is it that their masters like Amartya Sen are reductionists, using limited relational mechanics to confuse these social "scientist" /jehadis ?

Did that arrogant idiot Amartya Sen ever mention history is not science ? Worse - What science he has to myriad of assumptions or 'self evidents' which he has used in his books.(See below on his brand of equality and non-veg)

But right now they would earn a lot more because of their contacts and the money they spend through govt.

News on Amartya Sen from Business India: He has done a kolkata group: That is a "communal" organization, with invitation cross communal members from JNU. This is also called the Harvard equity something...They have taken gigantic enterprises to cook foods for the thousands of children...a scary thought - The state is entrusted to be responsible for feeding the kids. and someday they create health hazards.

Amartya Sen's kolkatta gang has requested ManMadam to give cooked food instead of the packaged food. ( I don't like Amartya Sen's argument in one of his papers that equality may be requiring feeding non-veg to every body... This cooked food must be deviously doing that ).

More thoughts on the mass feeding: We did whatever we did by eating from our home. It may make sense for Amartya Sen to collect huge statistics and publish another news paper... but these giant exercises of state of Harvard equity groups feeding the kids is somehow an uncomfortable thought.

Shouldn't there be basic freedom to choose food, from whom to eat, and courtesy to have the heart and humility in the food offered ? Therefore food offered for equity ( even if they have an Harvard name) doesn't sound good. Isn't it sacry to have these govt sponsored massive food programmes for people who can't afford their kids to English medium schools ? These billion dollar industry created by the sens, at some places dwarfs the local economy, people look at the massive enterprise of food distribution !


When state takes upon itself to feed the kids, one scary thought is what more a socialist state can take on itself to experiment on its subjects ? Whatever, they are producing a lot of statistics... Sens will write few more papers in it to impress the Americans or British.
