Nirmala Deshpande - A Truly Great Soul

Nkg,

I never said that AS lobbied for it. It is just that Nobel guys were looking at a welfare economist to cover their faces after the LTCM fiasco.

(And what is this Mohammed Asadi folk?)

He is none other than our beloved Hazrat Masadi of chowk.com fame.

Majumdar,

Nehru was a democrat but not a Stalinist. We in India use these terms very loosely - perhaps to sund like analysts.

If JNU is anathema then u'd find LSE to be equally loathesome. U dont kow how REDD the campus of LSE is. JNU's supposed to be modelled on JNU and it's just living to its creed.

Have pride and call urself a saffronite. Stop pretending like a soft liberal. Be true to urself.

Pl dont say that Nobel Committe is like a govt office in Calcutta where u can influence a person or a group of ppl to award Nobel.

OMG, u r far dangerous than Kaalachakra.

VRV,

(Nehru was a democrat)

Maybe you can explain the sacking of the Left govt in Kerala (1959?). Or the death of SP Mukherjee in govt custody.

(but not a Stalinist.)

Stalinist (almost) in economic policies.

(Stop pretending like a soft liberal.)

When did I say that I was a liberaloon? I am a (slightly) right of centre Hindoo. And the Sanghis with their mindless opposition to kanjarpana and cow slaughter are no more closer to my heart than the Gandhians are.

Regards

Majumdar,

Can you enlarge on the motives, of the Stalinist historians, to play up the sectarian discrimination? To my knowledge they were more interested in propounding the efficacy of state owned/controlled businesses...

VRV,

Henry Kissinger got the Nobel because he was a great human being, right?

And isnt it quite curious how VS Naipaul got the Nobel in 2001 a month or two after 9/11. Maybe it was just a coincidence?

Vengy,

(Can you enlarge on the motives, of the Stalinist historians, to play up the sectarian discrimination?)

Yes, the Stalinists needed to discredit the one thing that prevented India from going Red- Hindooism.

Regards

Enough debate...
Couple of drops of tears for Nirmala-didi. She had done quite a good job to reduce hiostility without causing any trouble to anybody...All Gandhians are not as bad/hyppocrete as Gandhi

Majumdar,

How would sectarian clash truths fecilitate Red-Hinduism?

Nkg,

(Couple of drops of tears for Nirmala-didi.)

Yes.

(All Gandhians are not as bad/hyppocrete as Gandhi )

Yes, again.

Regards

Vengy,

The Stalinists needed to discredit Hindooism so that Hindoos wud turn to Stalinism. That is why they had to show up Hindooism's faults - some true (casteism, misogyny) some false (sectarianism)

Majumder...
VSN was awarded with Man Booker prize ( UK) as early as 1971. You can not bring islamic angle at that time ( UK, USA were big supporter of islamists in Kashmir and Pakistan)...

Re: # 204

Majumdar Dada,

That is preposterous...LOL...

Nkg,

Man Booker is Man Booker, Nobel is Nobel.

Regards

(That is preposterous...LOL... )

Nope. That is Stalinism for you.
