nov 14th, 2008

i know salil tripathi slightly, and he is a good little pseudo-sec

even these guys are finding poisonous christist-communists like vijay prashad a bit much. this is good. i think the christist-communists are overplaying their hand a wee bit.

Sonal Shah should be judged by her resume and her deeds
Here, There, Everywhere | Salil Tripathi

I have not met Sonal Shah. A member of President-elect Barack Obama's
transition board, Shah is a director at Google's philanthropic arm,
where she has funded right-to-information campaigns in India and
elsewhere. But, overnight, people who call themselves progressive have
turned her into a hate figure. US-based organizations such as the
Coalition Against Genocide (which campaigned successfully to deny a
visa for Narendra Modi, the Gujarat chief minister) have protested
against her appointment.To link Shah, a member of Barack Obama's
transition board, with the Gujarat riots is preposterous
