So many of these "intellectuals" are locked in a war with Modi and I find not many are asking why? And no, I don't think it is ideological differences.
I think it is because these "intellectuals" had gotten so used to being "the establishment" but when Modi came in and put an end to their decades of patronage and quid pro quo status quo, kicked them out of their government bungalows in Delhi and stopped taking them on all expenses paid foriegn trips they are spitting their dummies out.
Compounding this is an oppostion beaten so badly that they are backed into a corner and coming out fighting- a most dangeorus beast indeed that will use any oppurtunity to demean the GoI. What did we see a few weeks ago? Senior Congress members in PAKISTAN sharing a stage with a LEADER who actively planned India's destruction, waged proxy (and actual) war on it and its people. It's funny how that spectacle didn't receive even 1% of the attention of the "tricolour scandel".
What a sick state of affairs.

+ This is the same "patriotic" Burkha Dutt who is such a " life-long admirer of our military" that she has been getting members of it killed since 1999? In Kargil she conducted live coverage of military operations and revealed the movement of military formations to the whole world and did the exact same thing in 26/11 that got at least 1 NSG operator killed.
Yet another hypocrite who claims to be the moral authority of the world because they get a camara pointed at them for a living or have their thoughts printed.
