Who will save us from Terminological Terrorism?

When I was in college in the seventies during every winter the migratory birds in academia used to come to India from Europe/USA during Dec/Jan and impart wisdom to the lowly Indians. The white variety is the most preferred but the Indians in phoren institutions were also fine. The talk used to be on “American Economic models”/ “European Economic systems”   and “Indian Economic problems”. India was sold to Indians as a problem. That is the initiation for me into terminological terrorism.  Next came the most bizarre identification of our abysmal economic growth of the sixties and seventies as “Hindu rate of growth”. The Marxian economist Raj Krishna is the originator of this spurious and dangerous title since the economic growth rate during that period can better be called “ Nehruvian growth rate” since it was the direct result of the policies of Nehru and his advisors who wanted to usher in a “ Socialistic Pattern of society”

Rajeev Srinivasan on the fuss about “Hindu terrorists”

The recent fuss about alleged “Hindu terrorists” has entertained me hugely because all the usual suspects played their expected roles to perfection. The pseudo-secular media had a field day insinuating that Hindu terrorism is as major a problem in India as is Mohammedan and Christist terrorism. The UPA forgot its axiom that “terrorism has no religion”, and joyously crowed about “Hindu terrorists”. The BJP was apoplectic in its attempts to distance itself from the alleged “Hindu terrorists”.
