eesh !!

 

[vsdoc]

It was astonishing to find out what Doc did. Thank you, Doc, I owe you.

Even more astonishing to find out how many people responded to the threat, and what they said. It was eery to read people tackle some of the obnoxious. I can't repay this.

Was far less an education for me as it evidently was for you.

Cheers, Doc

@fatman17 you were always the sharp cookie in the pack sir.

[Joe Shearer]

Whoa!! 57 likes in your post and 24 pages of discussion....!!

I declare 26th October "The @Joe Shearer Day"!!

Not at all appropriate.

26th October was the day Kashmir acceded to India.
It's also my daughter's birthday.

You won't like this - I teach at NALSAR University of Law, in Shamirpet. Just got back from a consultancy meeting in Madhapur.

Happy belated birthday to your daughter.

@scorpionx since that thread got deleted...

Can not watch the video, but from what i can assume from the comments, this is absolute submission before communal forces. What worries me most is, Bengal for the last few decades has slowly lost a pool of civil servants who were the last reminiscent of a generation who knew the intricacies of codes and conducts of a government, its duties and manners in which it should act, and those who had sufficient firmness to stand up against a decision by the government which they could feel to be inappropriate and imprudent for public interest.

Police has become a mere armed wing of the ruling party (a product of communist therapy), neither capable of controlling a small public agitation nor conducting a proper investigation where the prime accused belong to the ruling party. How can we expect them to grow enough spine to control a riot if it breaks out? They know they can not, so they will put every effort to make it sure that the possibility of a tensed situation does not arise at all.

Law & order should always be above all political consideration and religious identity, bring bias and prejudice into it, and it will polarize the society further and give rise to communal clashes..as evident in the growing number of communal clashes in Bengal under the TMC rule. Besides, entities like RSS and its cousins are reactionary forces that grow when the government fails to maintain an unbiased attitude towards all communities for some narrow political gain.

Deny it or not, terms like "Sickular" or "Pseudo-secular" are often used because what we have in India is a flawed and twisted version of secularism, while there is enough outrage against the right-wing bigotry, there is barely any condemnation against the opposite side of the same bigotry and bias shown by the so called 'secular' political forces. And why only Mamata, almost all political parties do this kind of communal politics. Recently Karnataka government decided to withdraw all cases against the radical Islamic organizations like PFI, the same organization who are accused of chopping off the hands of one writer, and where is the outrage here?

Cabinet decides to withdraw cases against PFI, KFD cadre

Karnataka to drop 175 cases against PFI, BJP cries foul | The Indian Express

And I am not sure whether it is perceived as uncool, or the elite 'intellectual' class think that they will be looked down upon by their peers, but there is a general apathy and avoidance to speak against the bigotry of minority communities or the political bias shown by the 'secular' political parties...we can see some examples here in this forum only, and such attitude is not exactly helping in upholding the secular credentials of the nation. People need to be unbiased and learn to call a spade a spade.

@LaBong As mentioned earlier, that place is somewhere near Siliguri, I don't remember the name of the place and don't feel the need to call her to find out just for my forum posts, and I don't doubt the authenticity of her story as she lives there. However, it is needless to say that whether you trust or distrust the authenticity of that information is absolutely your choice.

Why is the previous thread deleted?

@Joe Shearer judging from the response here, I'm thinking you should run for the next elections! Thanks @vsdoc for this much needed thread.
I have known Joe on this forum for almost 4 years now. We don't see eye to eye on a number of matters and we naturally feel that the other person is too defensive of his point when it comes to the national policy but I have the greatest respect for Joe because he is a rare kind of poster.
He backs his arguments up with cold hard facts, he is articulate and clear. A respectful poster and a fine gentlemen, he is among the first people who come to mind when I try to think of the people who I can have a meaningful discussions with on regional issues.
It is a sad state to see many Indians, his own kin, bully and attack him like this, a man much superior to them in age and experience and especially one who has contributed directly to their nation's development as a regional power. The Hindutva brigade in particular takes a particular dislike to him because he is not afraid to point out that India is deviating from its historical secularism, a point of pride for many and also a point that I am not entitled to speak about so I shall stop at that.

On a lighter note Joe, you once offered me to come to India and take up a teaching position. If things get any worse, I'll be waiting for your message and I'm sure there is no shortage of universities who would not want a man of your caliber to take the reigns of their Humanities and Social Sciences Departments!

Touche! His relative unpopularity is a badge of honor in my opinion.
