Looking for a Pulitzer?
Barkha Dutt promotes a movie, made in the U.S., for Indian-Americans living in the U.S., on NDTV. The characters, according to one reviewer, might have Indian-sounding names and they might look Indian..but the movie isn't about Indians. Nor about India. So why is it being shown in Indian homes, you ask? That's okay, I guess, most of the Indian television media sounds like it's just come visiting anyway (recall how Barkha feels that caste isn't so very important in India)...covering the daily disaster that's India - and 'analysing' with as much knowledge as any short duration visitor can gather. And would leave as soon as the Pulitzers are announced ..to collect them.
Pratap Bhanu Mehta, who bruits around the 'knowledge' that OBCs are 'oppressors' without offering any 'substantive proof', tells CNN-IBN that there is no 'substantive proof' that Pakistan is involved in 'terrorist activities' in India. Another 'knowledgeable visitor' ? Is he lobbying to become a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department?

if you can, try and get the latest issue of The Little Magazine. It is completely on reservation...
good morning, mad hat..
Hey, I am back after long time.
You should not even comment about India's electronic media these days. Those who even oppose reservation will agree to me on this. I have seen the coverage of this particular CNN-IBN on the Mumbai blast and it was shameless.
Their devil advocate called Karan Thapar, he should first take a course on how to interview people ? I don't understand why does someone even agree to be interviewed by him.
Anyway, I am travelling the next week and will be regular after that.
keep up the good work.
pro-reservations,
i'm very glad you're back.. missed your contribution here.. thanks !
Does anyone know the site to get good OBC grooms ?
Mera future to barbaad hai mere bacho ka future to secure kar lu !!!
No need to marry raisha. Just get screwed and get pregnant by an OBC guy. Your children's future will be secure.
Pratap bhanu mehta, shekhar gupta and arun shourie are casteist guys of the highest order.
If they were in our place than they would have rubbished merit and called for caste based reservations.
They are hungry for power and pelf.
