Who is this fool who criticises Anna Hajare for his just praise of Narendra Modi? Modi is mong the few noncorrupt chief ministers and is completely clean. The result - true development of Gujrat and corruption free Gujrat.Contrast this with corrupt journalists who do not know objective reporting who are blind towards Islamic fanaticism and are more corrupt than politicians

Corruption free gujarat ?

Perhaps M/s. Transparency International - which ranked Gujarat 17th among Indian states in terms of 'corruption perception index' (Kerala no. 1 or least corrupt for five years in a row) - needs to abandon its statistical methods of analysis and just report what many middle class Indian supporters of N.Modi say about 'corruption-free' Gujarat !

All that still does not get Gujarat any rank higher than 17th among Indian states in terms of lack of corruption !!

The Anna's movement just lack the support of our masses. Anna's flippant, arrogant, nonsensical utterance make it look as if he is mere pawn in the whole scheme of things..

She should be kicked out to her destined land, Puckistan, lock, stock and barrel. This bloodyBitch Arundirty Roy is known for earning cheap limelight when it comes to any issues.

Pakistan and Pakistanis crowd the consciousness of North Indians only.

To most people in the south, Pakistan and news about Pakistan are about as interesting as 'rancid butter on stale bread' !

Pakistan is physically as well as mentally so distant from southerners in general that the constant din about that country made by many northerners is seen with disdain or even mild amusement !

Centuries of ravage stemming from invasion after invasion after invasion might have battered the northerners' collective psyche in such horrid a fashion that they have to be constantly hyper-sensitive to any news/developments (real or imagined) about Pakistan !!

Perhaps that is the sole reason why some ignoramuses even relate Arundhati Roy's sayings to Pakistan !

To you it may seem so, but fact is that disgraced nation Puckistan is loathed by the whole of India from South to North to East.

All culprits think alike

You see her always on the wrong side.

There is a need to ask all the NGOs and social activists declare their assets.This needs to be further investigated.

The other day Narmada Bachao aandolan activist spoke in similar tone.

Both of these are suspects of swallowing huge amounts of donations to their NGO trusts.

Now this woman has stopped writing books, since she might have found the social activity is much more lucrative.

What about all the national assets that have been looted by corporates such as Tatas, Ambanis, Mittals, Birlas, etc. ??

What about the fact that the much touted 'liberalisation, globalisation' etc. that have resulted in loot of the echequer (in the form of corporate tax cuts) that outweigh their contribution to the economy perhaps a hundred to one times ?

All that loot is never to be remembered and alleged NGOs' 'donations' are to be discovered instead ??

Sikh massacre of 1984, under the nose of Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.. their inaction. Rajiv's notorious comment: the ground will shake.... and the Emergency crimes by the Durga PM of India.. does this all precede Narendra Modi.

First things first.. Let the investigations begin from the times of Emetrgency. We will give a posthumous chargesheet to the guilty if they are not in this world right now. People want to know the truth, whether it is Narendra Modi, Quattrocci, Gandhi or Patel.

forgot to mention about Sonia's honoring of Tytler and some other wicked in the form of party tickets only a few months ago. That raises a question: whose blood is thicker?

Arundhati has no clear thinking, only rage against Everything!
by Neo Indian on May 01, 2011 07:42 PM  | Hide replies

She is like a child, crying herself hoarse in self righteousness. She rushes to every social cause to indulge in breast-beating with the mourners.
The issue is that Arundhati wants "equality". But she doesnt even know what it really means in our socio-human context.
Equality is a myth created by humans and its meaning keeps changing with time. There can never be an ideal equal situation for it also means that every human will have to be the same without any difference in physical and mental make up.
If she is indulgent in picking holes in the spontaneous support shown by the middle class to Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement, she could extend the same to the paid stone-throwers groups of Kashmir, which she was actively supporting. Maybe her equality criteria are only for others and not for herself.
The problem is Arundhati herself. She gets too personal in social issues and too social in personal issues. She is also the best example of the exception making the rule.
Her irresponsible tirades against the government and the country leave her and everyone with a bad taste in the mouth.

Get real Arundhati and stop blaming everyone.
Do you have a solution to reversing things or do you just want time to stand still such that tribals can be sympathised with and viewed as in a zoo, from a snooty "english-educated" standpoint and simultaneously placed on a pedestal for their removed and nature-woven way of life.

Arundhati’s skepticism about the efficacy of the Lokpal bill, if it ever comes about, and becomes the law of the land is eminently sensible. The targeting of the younger Bhusan may have been rightly diagnosed by her as an attempt to whittle down the proposed bill. One can add here the spectacle of packing the committee with those very foot soldiers of the UPA and minions of the mighty corporate lobby, who have stonewalled the revelation of the names of the Swiss banks accounts holders and made such absurd pleas that the 2-G Spectrum scam resulted in no loss to the public treasury.
However, her perception that law is a hand maiden to the rich and powerful is an old saw and she need not have driven the point so hard. I am of the opinion that she is a perennial nay-sayer, which is her political rhetoric and chosen path to belong to a group. She certainly does not always know what she is talking about. If she really wants to know what "communal fascism" is, then rather than making a scapegoat of Narendra Modi, the eternal temptation of communal secularists, let her preach to the stone - throwers of Kashmir about the persecution and expulsion of the minority population from the valley or go around Bangladesh asking how it is that, without an exchange of populations, the Hindu population there dropped from 35% to the present 7% or less .
In choosing her examples carefully enough so as not to hurt her crowd, she leaves much that is releva

What makes you think that she was talking about 'arithmetic equality' at all ??

Do you know the difference between 'equality' and 'equity' ??

Had a chance to speak alongside Arundhati Roy some year's ,but obviously there has been a sea change in her approach and thought ," If you cant be a part of the solution then you shouldnt be a part of the Problem " that's what i feel she should be doing ,More than the Person lets look at the issue and i think she is making a valid Point ,we have merely scratched the surface with the announcement of the Lok pal ,but it's efficacy only time will tell

Just want to add every NGO organisation usually starts in a small way and that too from their home state.

Wonder what Arundati Roy has done to eradicate at least a small portion of the alchohol problem in and around waynad. I believe she is somehow connected to kerala.

Or is that there is not much media attention there for all the widows, which is also not a media savvy event and neither for this lady.
