Barkha Dutt slams Arnab Goswami, says 'ashamed to be from same industry as him'

[Joe Shearer]

I am sure this debate is going to be more exciting in coming days but let nationalistic view shall prevail eternally over a devil disguised as unbiased intellectually honest journalist....

It depends on what you define as 'nationalist' view. There is a bare-faced attempt by religious right-wingers who inherit the contemptible neutrality of their intellectual ancestors during the freedom struggle to now represent themselves as nationalists, when they are nothing but Hindu bigots bent on dividing the country. They are not 'nationalist', they are anti-national. And Arnab and his brand of McCarthyism is not nationalism either.

I wish the negative rating had similar rules as well.... Lol

What I have come to consider as best practice, partly based on feedback criticising some of my ratings, is that it is best not given during a conversation in which one is involved. I have now started reporting all comments directed at me, and not rating that post.

It is to be given on some grossly outrageous comment, either an insult to a country, a race or a religion, or a caste, or a gender or any other group of humans in general, or an insult to an individual not a member of the forum which goes beyond criticism of policies or views to a personal level. I have in the past also given it for a huge and seemingly deliberate mis-statement of a factual position, although if that had been a uniform reason, then thousands of Pakistani, Chinese, Bangladeshi and Indian posts might be affected.

These are my own interpretation of best practices, and I have seen some very different negative ratings given, mainly by two Pakistani moderators, which do not match these criteria.

Some of my own older ratings don't match these criteria. This is what I intend to practise going forward, and have been doing in the very recent past.

5 min of digging will give an idea about this gentleman

Modi PM of India?

Over our dead bodies.

So, now so far how many times Modi has tried to kill you

You no know truth if truth kick you in road middle. Minorities 15%, cannot win elections. Enough majority hating BJP, you looking, you finding.

Now go back to class.

Sir, we should keep an eye on those who wants to have monopoly on minority votes, and then keep an eye on those who wants to create divide among Hindus for votes, as well

Modi is a terrorist & murderer of thousands of innocent people. The UN should send it's troops on "Kill or Capture" mission for this terrorist.

Thanks God now sane Indians have started to realize this fact & they are rejecting this terrorist.

Sane Indians realised this fact years ago, long before others did. My son-in-law has been working with Harsh Mander, to give you an example, for five years now, and there are those who fought for a full investigation even as the first reports came out.

I am sure your son in law has served great for this country and have earned a lot of money as well

Modi may be at the helm, but he has no brains, only a 56" chest. How are we better off?

By far your predictions have proven your intellectual capability, sir. I just hope you know the difference between knowledge and intelligence.



To all those Barkha hating, fear mongers, minority haters, Hindu bigots, low IQ common citizens of this country don't dare to destroy the sickular fabric of this country.

Not once. That is not the point.

I am ashamed and embarrassed to have this non-performer and anti-Indian as our Prime Minister, and am really depressed that we are represented by him.

Sir, we should keep an eye on those who wants to have monopoly on minority votes, and then keep an eye on those who wants to create divide among Hindus for votes, as well

Both are anti-democratic. What is your point?

I am sure your son in law has served great for this country and have earned a lot of money as well

I think he has contributed to our intellectual capital.

What have you done, to gibe at him? What is your contribution, besides vicious little posts on PDF?

Incidentally, he has earned no money at all for all this work.

By far your predictions have proven your intellectual capability, sir. I just hope you know the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

My predictions about Modi's acceptability to a minority of the country, and its translation into a parliamentary majority, have been wrong.

That does not in any apparent way impugn either my knowledge or my intelligence.

To all those Barkha hating, fear mongers, minority haters, Hindu bigots, low IQ common citizens of this country don't dare to destroy the sickular fabric of this country.

You continue to be what you are, one of the leading lights of the minority-hating scum. Nothing that you have reported so gleefully about me takes away anything from your own tawdry record.

You may, or may not, have noticed the perceptible sharp drop in noise from your bhakt lobby, not just in PDF, but all over. They are now more and more concentrated on character assassination, as they realise that there is nothing else left.

Your administration and your political caucus has proved to be ineffective in most departments, whether finance, defence or external affairs; it has proved divisive in home affairs and in education; it has dragged its bloated self from one defeat to another in the elections, saving the vote in Assam: if you do not know, or do not wish to know what that was due to you, enjoy your dreams while you may; your attempts at horse-trading have been so laughable and inept that the whole country is laughing at what happened to Amit Shah in Uttarakhand and in Arunachal Pradesh.

And you think with this mock display of superficial respect capping the toxic waste below, you have scored points? Keep thinking that, and ask any citizen of any other country, since you do not think your fellow-citizens opinions matter, what they think of you.

You are an isolated minority in your own country, and a laughing stock internally, and you have the effrontery to attack those who point this out. Good. Just like your bragging and your arrogance came to its natural end with the lack of performance, these feeble attempts at justifying the people you so foolishly backed will come back to haunt. you.

As for my record, I have stood out against the misguided opinions of Indians, and also of Pakistanis, Chinese and Bangladeshis. Ask around a bit, if you can stand to be proved to be an ***, and hear for yourself. That is because I don't need the applause of the gallery; I hew to the moral line I have chosen for myself, and care little for the mockery of the canaille. I say this with amusement at your thinking that you have anything to contribute to the forum or to your faction by your personal attacks. They only add to the good reputation of those you attack; it is a good thing to be disliked or to be disparaged by the likes of you.

I just hope you know the difference between knowledge and intelligence.

It's the hatred.
It's always the hatred that makes even the most knowledgeable people look like idiots.

The "intellectual" section has not been able to digest the rise of Modi & BJP. Oh, they pretend it's not personal. We know the truth though.

Anyone remember the fear psychosis this section tried to spread about Modi coming to power and how he would destroy everything...blah blah blah..

Now that it has not happened and along with it the RW increasing it's presence is something these fellas can digest.

That's why it's important to challenge them with facts.

Finance: Inflation way down from Congee levels. Every indicator is positive
Defence: Anyone with even single brain cell would know what was done in last 2 years
External affairs: Again, some of the best 2 years in our history.
Energy: First time since independence with surplus electricity.
Infrastructure: More Highways built in last 2 years than probably 10 years before that
Home: Decisive when it comes to security. After a long time Pakistan is afraid to have their monthly cross border target practise on Indians

Even retards can see the work. Since these "intellectuals" can't, then it's not their knowledge that is the issue. It's their personal bias and deep rooted hatred. These fellows are seething in anger at the rise of BJP & RSS.

They keep asking themselves..."How dare they come to power?"

For them, this fact is indigestible and therein lies the root cause of their bigotry, hatred and racist taunts towards Hindutva.
These people are wolves in sheep clothing. Pretend to be all mellow but they are in fact the most racist & bigoted people in the world.

Sigh. What a gasbag.

Speaking about Barkha. Of course.

Seriously i don't think your self satisfactory rhetoric has any end.

 

[HAIDER]

ashamed she belong's from my country

Why ashamed ..............this is the beauty of South Asia.....freedom of speech...... Otherwise North Korea doors are open.....moderator need to be decent and polite to conduct the debate.

 

[DesiGuy1403]

Why shamed ..............this is the beauty of South Asia.....freedom of speech...... Otherwise North Korea doors are open.

Even the person who you quoted has the freedom of speech to say what he wants.
Or do you think Barkha is the only person in India who must have freedom of speech?

He has freedom, but he can not label Barkha ....against his profession. Otherwise , soon tv channel will be political parties spokesman ....

 

[DesiGuy1403]

That sentence is contradictory.
If Barkha has freedom to peddle her nonsense, this person certainly has the right to say what wants about Barkha.

That's how freedom of speech works....You know both parties having freedom to express freely without any fear..

He can not target the person directly , but her thoughts can be challenged , not a person labelled something. If he is not agree with Barkha thought or has some personal issues, then don t invite her.

 

[Soumitra]

He never named Barkha or her channel. He said pseudo liberals who take Pakistani line.

On the other hand Barkha named him and his channel in the blog post and opinion piece

O well......listening this guy is waist of time....

 

[adil_minhas]

Did anyone notice that Barkha's show is in a slot earlier to Arnab?

The way I see it, it's the strategy of a woman who realizes she has lost the viewership head to head and is looking for second place.

If watching Arnab is a waste of time, then a significant majority of India's educated middle class is wasting it's time.

Should be music to India's foes.

Do you think Indian viewers has time to see contest between the two.....or its fight for rating .
