Crookbond Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 This was Nehru's reply in parliament after the loss of land in war with China, “Not a blade of grass grows in Aksai Chin; loss of Indian Territory to China is a loss too little.†Not sure how would you categorize this statement of intellectual, factually he would be right but as a Prime Minister of the country he shouldn't have said this IMO. :facepalm: Are you like kidding me? An intellectual is not always right, he CAN be wrong. He's a human not GOD. It doesn't make him any less intellectual; just that he doesn't have his finest moments.
Crookbond Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Almost all the indian "intellelectuals" sprouted non-sense and involved in corruption. There's a red line and that is xenophobia is a HARD RED line.
Detonator Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 There's a red line and that is xenophobia is a HARD RED line. Mere statements are extremely thin red lines. You can't even see sometimes.

I am not denying whether Nehru was intellectual or not, he would have been surely but since till this day I do not have any exact definiton of who is to categorise where so I am asking questions? My point was what he said about Aksai Chin was factually , scientifically correct. Right? Which makes him intellectually correct also but somehow that whole statement did not fit into his roles and responsibility. You also agree that what he said was somehow not correct. So does the intellectual thinking can be compromised on the basis of protocols and Roles? Does this make it tougher for politicians to be classified in this category? Is it easier for writers & scientists or those people who are not answerable to anyone in their proffesional life?

The Outsider Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Not many arguments germinate around right wing economists. IMO, the question is still open as to what path the Indian economy should take (given the sheer population and problems there will probably have to be a balance). It is the fact that right wing economics ties in with right wing Hindutva, that I have a problem with. Right wing Hindutva can prove nothing about their delusional beliefs but want it to be studied as an alternate 'theory', not even understanding what a theory means from a scientific perspective. The kind of lunatics these guys have been able to get into influential positions of the education system is downright worrisome. If these idiots are not booted out soon, Hindustan will become a domain of khaki chadhi, white shirt, carrying a lathi/sword. A disgusting future to look forward to.
