ravishingravi Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Actually he did ask the right questions. 2002, divisive, BJP in fighting, autocratic, publicity etc. but all too sugar coated.

scorpio90 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Bibek Debroy has some mighty interesting thing to say about the pimtellectual class and its trepidations in lootyens dilli right now... http://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/policypuzzles/entry/intellectual-trepidation-and-tremor On how the system works: There is a nomenklatura within the intellectual segment too. You are either in, or out. If you are out, you are ostracized and sidelined. You may not be physically beaten up, but the intolerance is no less insidious. Intellectuals who are breathing fire and brimstone against imminent intolerance are contemporary. Therefore, I will give you my personal experience, which is hardly history. The story-line is simple. I used to work in a research institute. One particular piece of research was found to be politically unpalatable and I was told any subsequent publications would have to be politically vetted. I found this to be unacceptable and resigned. The rest of the nitty-gritty doesn’t matter, since this blog isn’t about that either. It is about the consequences. The direct consequences on me are fairly obvious. First, there were government commissions/task forces I was a member of. I was either politely asked to quit, or terms weren’t renewed. Second, I wasn’t made a member of any fresh ones. Third, government projects that were in “final” stages of negotiation, no longer materialized. Academia today is somewhat different from Shenoy’s era. Unlike then, there are a plethora of research institutes, not necessarily “government” and these are a bit more “tolerant”. Had academia been traditional colleges/universities, in all probability, I might not have found a job and like Shenoy, would have gone off abroad. Indeed, there is an esteemed research institute in India. It offered me a job, but conditional on my not writing for the newspapers. Obviously, I didn’t accept it and obviously, it isn’t the one I work in now. Thus, there were the negatives. And I was excluded from the positive spillovers of government patronage. Let’s not deny, there is plenty of that, in multifarious ways. ON what his fellow intellectuals did in response: The reaction of academic/intellectual friends/acquaintances was even more interesting. They divided themselves into three categories: (a) very limited few who defended me in the sense of standing up for intellectual freedom; (b) the majority, who pretended the incident hadn’t occurred; and © quite a few, to whom, I became persona non grata. Weren’t (b) and © bothered about “intolerance”? You could argue that this intolerance was an internal matter for one particular research institute and why should they stick their noses into it? I don’t find this argument terrible plausible. In my experience, intellectuals do stick their noses into everything under the sun. You could argue that (b) and © should legitimately be worried about more weighty national matters of intolerance. Why bother about a minor bit of trivia concerning one individual? Perhaps. But one is then buying the argument that stands on intolerance are subjective and not based on principles. They are a function of perception and what I regard as important. For that intellectual segment, I read it quite differently. All this talk of intolerance is bosh, bunkum and balderdash. As I have said, they have benefited from a network of government patronage. Post-16 May, that structure of government patronage is likely to change. That explains the intellectual trepidation and tremor.
Raghav_12 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Aap ki Adalat with Modi If it was AAP ki adalat, shouldn't it have been Kejriwal grilling this guy?

scorpio90 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Continuing about the pimplectual class: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/politics/celebrity-tamil-novelist-supports-narendra-modi-gets-threat/ Popular Tamil novelist R N Joe D’Cruz finds himself “facing threats” and “hate mails” after he expressed his support for BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, hailing his Gujarat regime as “a visionary government”. There had been a lot of opposition, threat and blackmail after he posted his pro-Modi views a few days ago on Facebook, Joe, a Sahitya Akademi award recipient and a champion of the cause of fishermen, told PTI. On the reaction in literary circles, he alleged “certain people blackmail. Others threaten that my literary work that are currently getting translated will be in trouble. For instance, a translation of ‘Aazhi Soozh Ulagu,’ which is under the process of publication in English will be halted, they say. Some have sent hate mails that shower abuses.”
