Why we Indians need Joe here

[vsdoc]

I agree with your analysis. Differing, unique and unpopular views are the gems of the forum. They may represent the views of a minority or a fringe group but they bring with them much needed critical thinking and objective resolution of problems. Joe has as much defended India as others so I don't get the hatred towards him from Indians themselves.

The problem is that controversial or even disparate views are often treated with suspicion and at times outright hatred. No one sees these figures claims as a method to improve oneself. There needs to be a change of approach, the Arundhati Roys and Nadeem F Paracha's if we do not agree with them at least we can respect the unique thought they bring to society.

I am very aggressively involved myself in speaking for the rights of my people both pashtuns and lucknowis but that does not mean I hate anyone. Same is true for Joe. Cut him some slack people. His views are welcome anywhere. He is a wise sagacious old dude who has seen and witnessed more than a lot of us combined.

Arundhati Roy is a bitch.

A hot one though.

How is Joe Shearer different from Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury

We know how much fan following they have got

The Communist Bengalis have NO RIGHT to preach to the rest of the country
after having RUINED Bengal and making it ungovernable

I have very little in agreement with Joe's current strident and intolerant world view greatly divorced from the younger generations.

That does not mean I do not like to hear him or use the opportunity to disagree with him.

And no, I was never brought up to abuse a man 20 years my senior.

Even if he acted like a prick.

Agree. She's haggard now.

Too much drugs or brown nosing the Islamists.

Age is immaterial and is no grounds for hate or respect on here in an anonymous forum, One should treat every one here with equal respect.

Impressions ought to be formed for the merit in their arguments. Joe has that going for him - even if I don't agree with most of what he says.

The real issue of your contention. You'd still bone her, although I don't know why.

The question is how long do you refrain from replying or remain unaffected
Once you start engaging with him ; you INVARIABLY get provoked

It is best to avoid him JUST like most Indians Avoid watching
SItaram Yechury and Prakash Karat when they are on TV

That is just too crass man.

I was thinking more of some wine and some good Hindutva bhajans. While I listen to her read from one of her books.

Me dressed in a saffron lungi of course.

She sadly lost her compass.

Honestly I only avoid Rajcreep Sardesai.

His wife I wonder idly about.

She sadly lost her compass.

I think she has quite enough compasses. All pointing in one direction.

Oh, it is all forgiven because they are Old School. Our Parsi bawa here believes himself to be the ruling caste nobility looking down his imperious nose on the low caste Indians as thugs on hire. Hence his condescending love for Shiv Sena. But one should not forget he is an Old School and has the right just like Old Joe.

Wear A saffron T shirt with a saffron bandana and Take a selfie with her

Two things will then happen

You will become famous all over India and she will stop lecturing us hereafter
