The Tyson Who Didn't Fight Lewis

Dilip is my ex-collegemate and acqaintance. We are all proud of the work he is doing: factual, down-to-earth, challenging those who would intimidate us with slogans and rhetoric of the left or right.

BTW, my guess is that ``people`` like Urstruly (isn`t it cute how these fanatics love critics from OTHER countries? But are always ready to threaten death to their own?) would be in the class Dilip would right about, if he were writing about Paksistan.

Way to go; Indian women..

harish_hyd:
Beneath this thin facade of pain and disenchantment, there lies a deep hatred for anything Hindu.

aah there you go...that`s tolerance for you!

Sobia #5 you write ``aaaah..this board should be interesting. I can just see jay, arjun, hxn and the likes foaming at the mouth. ;) ``

You got that one right, sister. :-) Urstruly performs the kick-off with expressions of delight...brother harish rushes like a fire brigade to explain how D`souza twists facts...poor jay (#13) struggles to put a positive spin to the matter...

In the meantime, a well written description of mob violence, useless police, and the bravery of the women who stood up to them is doomed to be buried under the usual deluge of the same set of accusations and accusations by the same set of interactors on chowk.

I want to read about the meeting.

And this the kind of behavior that India should start dealing with before they start accusing Pakistan of laxity/intolerance.

Is this THE D`Souza Sahib?

Good piece of writing, but i fail to see any point in this kind of articles. As a person living in Gujarat I have first hand experience of what happened during that forgettable period. There is no way any one can rationalize the outcome! VHP indeed is a hate filled senseless organisation with which any remotely sensible person can barely associate himself with. It was rather unfortunate- and I blame extremely weak governance- that this was the only way the general population could vent out.

Anyhow my point is...this is the India we are talking about here, and whatever D` souza experinced might have been note worthy but definately not quite significant in my opinion. Only thing this article does is, it suggests that there is something seriously flawed with the situation but fails to reagrd the larger context.

Ok, where is the other stocky fella, Arjun? Is he looking into his suitcase for the t-shirt with Paki flag yet or not? We must credit Mr. D`souza for writing this article though - at least it has made Arjun take leave from his hindu religious nut slave driver employers for a change. Vacation is good.

Jay

I have a better suggestion for you. Use the scroll bar and go to the top of this page where the title of this article is; you will see an icon that says ``Print``; hit it. Print out the article and replies and then stomp on it. And that goes for other closet hindu religious nuts on this board as well.

Good one. Police must have been looking to `keep the peace`, and persuading the women was easier than fighting the men.

Any comments on the forcible shutdown of the state by CPM yesterday in Kerala?

Shobia, urstruly,

I am in fact proud of people like dsouza who write articles like this and these are the corrective mechanisms. Grim potrayal of the dowry deaths have led to several legislative changes, the latest is that if any woman dies with in 7 years of marriage due to untantural causes, the inlaws are to be charged with murder and investigated. The implementation of course in ststes like bihar is far way off, but in many other states the effect is spectacular, now with the wives black mailing the husbands with suicide threats.
Having said that now show me one article in a pak news paper asking to honour abdus salam. Show me one article which says that killers of Samia Sarwar were not charged because it is legal to kill in pakistan. Show me one article which says that numerous hindu temples were demolished in pakistan in response to babri masjid.

Learn from chowk, the ideas that I post about pakistan you will never ever see in pak publications. If you believe in self correcting pakistan, If you believe that the pak professor who said that parents of mohammed could not heve been born muslims was not worth the death meted out to him by the pak legal system, read my posts, frame it, and read it every day.

d`SOUZA...well i must acknowledge the effort of christian missionary even if u r not a part of that...all these guys from st anthony,st peter,st paul, la salle and the gals from sacred heart jesus n marry convent and all other good schools must rem the contribution of christianity towards shaping their self...
religion....i dont know why but i feel even if i raised a hand towards any of them, he is going to greet me with a warm response but willl turn me down whenevr the chance becmoes his.....cud anyone justify?

Ref Urstruly #1

[What kind of mother would name his son harimau - ugghh.]

Certainly, a mother who would NOT name her son Ali (Eunuch).

Thanks for asking.

Ref Urstruly #1

[I can bet my sweet smelling, wheatish brown sooraj bansi ass.....]

Sweet smelling.... would that be before or after you were sodomized by Ali1?

Suraj bansi.... I didn`t know there were any Suraj bansis in Saudi Arabia or Central Asia. Maybe you are a descendant of Alexander. Yeah, that is it.

Ah, here comes another of the likes of Praful Bidwai, Kuldip Nayar, Pankaj Mishra, and Arundhati Roy, the so-called secular humanists. I have followed Dilip`s columns religiously on rediff over the past year or so and observed that he has excellent story-writing abilities with this unique knack of twisting facts to make aggressors look like victims and vice-versa. And although he claims to be a software professional, I strongly suspect he could be a lawyer. Beneath this thin facade of pain and disenchantment, there lies a deep hatred for anything Hindu. This incident could be real, but also could be fiction, given Dilip`s abundant talents and penchant for espousing causes that always portray Muslims and Christians as victims but never as the aggressors. I have never heard him speak against Christian missionaries inspite of the large-scale havoc they have wreaked throughout India by aggressively proselytizing to `harvest more souls`, as the pope put it. I have seen him write against majority communalism with missionary zeal, but never seen him deplore minority communalism. And although I do not condone the VHP hate-mongers who deserve to be sent to Guantanamo Bay, I dare say people like Dilip are equally, if not more responsible.
