In my defense, I would say that I am not obsessed with Nehru at all. If you look at my website--it has about thousands of posts, out of these the posts devoted to Nehru are 4 or 5. <br /><br />When I start writing on a topic, I usually write a series of articles -- I have done the same thing when I was pursuing the Western philosophers. I have written more than 100 articles on Aristotle, and perhaps the same number of Plato. Many on Kant. <br /><br />These days the my focus is on Indian history -- and in this history Nehru, et al, have played a major role and so I have to present my views on them. But I am certainly not obsessed with them. I simply despise most of them. :-) <br /><br />I am quite disappointed with the present crop of leaders as well.

First, the bad things out:
> &quo...Dear Anoop:<br /><br />First, the bad things out:<br /><br />> "secularism had deteriorated into pseudo-secularism, which was suppressing Hindu religion and culture"<br /><br />I imagine you in those days while wearing bell-bottom pants and the "bachchan hair-cut" in place for your own crown were dancing in the streets crying out loud in utter exhilaration: "yaa deshaache kalyaaNa karee, naangar-dhaaree shet_karee!"<br /><br />Your later life might be regarded as a testimony to your passions back then. Also of your friends.<br /><br />[Yes, even back then, I was taken a bit aback, but watching it from a bit afar. I didn't have any passion about it, or, for that matter, against it. Back then. I still don't. Not even against it. Then, or now.]<br /><br />Now for the better things:<br /><br />Why to take an extemporaneous write-up for a mere editorial of a mere 7- or 1-day value, as if it were a prominent piece of history to be recalled and put to use towards achieving the end of the much predicted c. 2057 event much desired by many?<br /><br />Best part:<br /><br />Come on, Atanu, Anoop, why explain everything about the pre-late-1970's India in terms of Nehru alone the way the idiotic generation of officers and gentlemen near about retirement in those days did? Why not focus on your param-param-param-pujya etc. "guru-jee", "sheT-jee", "bhaT-jee", their utterly bad [freaked out, actually] write-ups / talk-downs, and their permanent foreign / foreign residency aspirations? even if only to be fulfilled through their own children but strictly by not others'? [Note, I still am not talking of the rest of Indians.]<br /><br />High time, dude, you got over with your Nehru et al. obsession. *I* read your blog too.<br /><br />I wish you premises better than mere "Hindu", "Hindu", "Hindu", with equal number or preferably more number of "Nehru", "Nehru", "Nehru" (with the couplings to "Gandhi", "Gandhi", "Gandhi" et al. also thrown in for good measure, to make it a complex coupled system, even if you obviously don't know a good starting point for the latter).<br /><br />Get back to your senses, in short, Atanu, Anoop, et al. Awake, Arise, ... [I am sure you can complete it.]<br /><br />Best,<br />--Ajit<br />Ajit R. Jadhavhttps://ajitjadhav.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
