Gandhi in The Handmaid’s Tale

#1171 by behram1

[So what is happening in South India between Tamil Nadus and Sri Lanka. Oh, yes....these damn Pakistanis, once again.]

So the Tamils in Sri Lanka are Buddhists? What are you smoking Behram Sahib?

FYI, the Tamils in Sri Lanka are either Hindus or Christians (and may be a sprinkling of Muslims too), but never Buddhists.

There are so many holes in your other posts too that I`m tempted to respond to them, but then, you seem so convinced of your arguments that it is pointless to point it out to someone who actually believes in them in the first place.

Respectfully submitted,

Re#1175

For those who don`t know

``KK`` stands for Kumbh-Karan. For information regarding that legendary individual, kindly refer to Tulsidas` Ramcharitmanas. In the chowk world, s/he is called ``chowk-staff`` (occasionally referred as ``chowk-stuff``.)

Re#1173 Kaalchakra

Looks like my ``absence`` from this site seems to have deprived me of a few interesting goings-on. Also looks like KK has finally become arisen (or is that aroused (there is no implied reference to any body organs, however (Uie, Allah! (Tauba, Tauba!!!!)))).

For now, however, it is probably the ``nice`` thing to do to watch and enjoy (I feel compelled to respect KK`s maryada). Because of certain unknown reasons, I feel a LITTLE tired.

Sincerely,
BeeJay.

Dear Mr. Kaalchakra,

Who were you gracing with your visit for this evening? And what was on the menu?

Humbly, respectfully, and obediently submitted and lapped up,

Behrambhai

You are worrying too much about the yester-year thoughts of Indians and about the backwardness of their icon Gandhi.

Please take a break. Really.

Love and regards

Dear mohar11:

By the Grace of Ahura Mazda I have done fine wherever I have been
[Of course you do - your anti-gandhi ``performance`` here has been spectacular - you kicked some serious gandhi-lover a$$es - so you will be just fine in pakiland.....] Remember to love the truth and only the absolute truth which resides only in you.

Thank you for the compliment.

Respectfully submitted,

Re: # 1164

Dear Ranger:

Your name is really powerful. Let me see if your intellect is as powerful.

[About Gandhi - whether he slept with his grand-daughters or not , whether he hated niggers/women/untouchables is based on hearsay and debatable , but frankly immaterial] and this is all the article is all about.

[and as a sin pales in comparison to his treacherous act of blackmailing the free Indian nation into giving away 1/3rd of its treasury to Pakistan by threatening to fast unto death , at a time when an India was engaged in a crucial war with Pakistan over Kashmir.] Okay, then you should consider yourself as a ``Gandhi hater``. Do you? Or you are just too much passionate to think straight right now?

[The reason 1 million soldiers are stationed in Kashmir is to prevent the 5 million Kashmiri muslims to give in to their innate Islamic fundamentalist terrorist inclinations which saw them ethnically cleanse or chase away the entire hindu kufr populations away from the valley , which they did in 1989-91. Also , the 2000 odd hardcore terrorists are not scattered all over the valley , mingling with the local populace. So the only way to deal with such a situation is to have a significantly large army- classic military strategy...something US has not done in Iraq and is consequently suffering.] Is this what you consider as a highly efficient army? To put one (1) million to get 2000. Wow! What a genius you are, Ranger.

[If all the terrorists get together in one place and attack as a conventional force, we wont need more than a couple of thousand soldiers to finish them off.] Yes, and you might just one, if all of them come to you and bow their head to be slughtered. You are just so genius. Unbelieveable.

[You only display your ignorance and foolishness with your ridiculous claims about Indian soldiers fighting buddhists and so on.] So what is happening in South India between Tamil Nadus and Sri Lanka. Oh, yes....these damn Pakistanis, once again.

[Needless to say , India has faced insurgent movements through out its independent history , and won everytime. Unlike Pakistan which lost half of its country , India hasn`t lost an inch so far.] Yes, you are correct, it was the insurgency when you grabbed Muslim Hyderabad. It was the insurgency when you grabbed newly independent Goa. And all along you remained a democracy. And also a society full of non-violent philosophy.

What a load of hog wash? Yesteryear thoughts. Get off your high horse, Ranger, and see the reality. India should act mature on its own, if it wants to be, or even if it is. Your response just shows how despicable India is like it has always been.

Kindly think before you ink,

Dear Behram1

It`s ok. Everyone has a bad day. You will feel better tomorrow.

You forgot to extend your respect to me this time :(

Re: # 1163

Dear kaalchakra:

That is exactly what I have been thinking all along. What sort of humans are we?

[All this anger, this `Nagaland and Bangladesh,` this `Hindoos and Buddhists,` this `Kashmiris and (their?) namak harami,` this `religious India and undivided India, all undoubtedly delightful talk.... just because that poor old fellow Gandhi was not good to women? :)]

And that is all the writer was talking about.

You figure out the personality that has developed since partition. And that could be your next article.

Thank you for your contribution.

I remain humbled by your thoughts,

Behram B. Atashband

``What is a most respected Parsi from our great neighboring country gonna do about it?``

Well, he can talk.

Also...democracy means honoring the aspiration of the numerical majority. As long as the majority of the people of India want India to hold on to Kashmir and Nagaland and so on , India will continue to do so , using brute force or otherwise , shamelessly and even proudly and at the same time annouce our democratic ans secular credentials at the top of our voice to anybody who cares to listen.

So what is an effete neutred paris from pakistan gonna do about it ?

Re: # 1158

Dear Netizen:

It seems that once again, our Karma is working. I started laughing when I read [now the burden falls on you to prove that, not on me to disprove it.] Respectfully, how am I suppose to prove anything when this whole article on this site was unable to do that? We are in the peanut gallery section remember. We provide comments to the article. Not dissertation on life`s philosophy.

[so go ahead and start your argument. thats what i have been waiting for since yesterday.] And you still did not get it! What makes you so sure that another 24 hours will make any difference? You really believe in miracles that somehow your intellect will function differently. I don`t.

[but somehow the topic got digressed when you started calling him anti-jew and ``with no integrity because satyagraha won`t work against hitler``.] I never said that he was anti-jew. That is your interpretation. I did however call him anti-women, which you have not, as of yet disproved.

[lets see how much dirt we can get on this guy] Even dirt should be valuable for such hates which I have already confessed that I do not have for anybody.

[you keep posting i will reply tommorrow] Why, you have no work to do. You work on promoting Gandhi`s values instead of your employer`s. Now that is what is called a hard working Indian.

Netizen, thank you for your contribution, and please keep the conversation going forward.

Again I will continue to promote harmony and love and would respectfully submit,

Behram B. Atashband

Dear harimau:

[Would that include the Hindus and the Sikhs or just the Muslim vermin?]

First those human killers (read Indian solders) must learn to respect human life. Obviosly you don`t.
