As always, the Sunday HT columns of Manas and Indrajit were “good journalism” and well-worth a read; while the Sunday ToI STANK of the nasty odour of MENDACITY – beginning with swaminathan aiyar’s “learned opinion” that the Indian Railways ought to be “depoliticised” by converting it into an Independent Corporation, “as has worked successfully in telecom”!
This “veteran journalist” ought to know that “politics” in the Indian Railways begins-and-ends with their own Trade Unions – which is why they are one of the world’s biggest employers – which is also why the Indian Railways has almost nothing left over the “invest” after paying its wage bill: The biggest item in its “operating costs.”
Never heard of the Good Word “PRIVATISATION”? Which ought to be done to MTNL and BSNL, too. And to Air India, SAIL, GAIL, ONGC – the entire FUCKIN’ LOT!
PRIVATISATION – now, that’s what I call “depoliticisation”!
See, I do NOT “speak with a forked tongue.”
The other “palefaces” on the SToI - one another CONgress-hack, one a BJP-hack, and the third a COMPLEAT IDIOT if there ever was one, on whom more later – well, these “party hacks” are whining about the current “tension” on the Line of Control – yet, the BEST opinion on this was surely the Jug Suraiya & Neelabh CARTOON in the same paper, which showed a Paki politician and one of ours arguing over “who started it” – and then, the next frame shows the Grave of the Unknown Soldier, the caption reading: “Whoever starts it, it’s always our job to finish it!” And to finish it DEAD, if I may add.
Neelabh’s “Rapesutra” cartoon is equally good – as is the Sunday HT cartoon on the “Line of Control.”
And, yes, today’s SToI Interview is with Nawaz Sharif – so wee the sheeple are supposed to “think” that DEMOCRATIC POLITICS both here-there-and-everywhere is The Solution!
Obama – he’s quitting Af-Pak by SPRING – that is, in a few months!
On LOCAL INTERNAL ENEMIES – an Assistant Commissioner of the Mumbai Police has been found guilty of KILLING a poor, innocent and enterprising FRUIT-VENDOR in a RAID!
And it is very much the Same Story throughout the length-and-breadth of this vast sub-continent, where ALL POLICING is URBAN! And PREDATORY on the POOREST!
Stopping honest people from trading is actually nothing but ENCOURAGING CRIME and CRIMINALITY!
Similarly, from MANIPUR, where Martial Law has been in place since 1958 – there is a snippet in the noose about an Association of the Families of Victims of Extra-Judicial Executions that has now approached the Supreme Court seeking JUSTICE!
The Enemy is really The Democratic Legislation that authorises UNLAW – The Armed Forces Special Powers Act of 1958.
Yet, in all this NOISE and “sabre-rattling” between the MERCENARY Armed Forces of India and Pakistan – the one and true “barometer of PUBLIC OPINION” I could detect is the admission by the Union Law Minister – another socialist lawyer-politician – to the effect that “The People today view The Law to be IMPOTENT” – after which he, true-to-his-tribe, offers The Ultimate Solution: And that is – of course! – a Whole New Bureaucracy! – a New All-India Judicial Service!
I say: Depoliticise The Law – and WIPE OUT DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIONISM!
Let THE ETERNAL LAW prevail:
The Inviolability of Property & Contracts –and the Protection of TORTS in place of these Predatory COPS!
JUSTICE-for-ALL – and an ex ante Justice, that too, with all “consensual trades” LIBERATED.
NO legal disputes between Private Parties.
And NO legal fuck-ups with The Law either.
ZERO LITIGATION.
These Eternal Laws should also – most importantly! – apply to Money & Banking – to International IMPORT Trade, International INWARD Investments, and to International INWARD Travel as well – which successfully DEPOLITICISES more-or-less everything.
And then, a New Republicanism – which will “naturally” occur all along our Twin Coastline – a New Republicanism based on the Principle that Property Arises from LIBERTY – and that THERE ARE NO “POLITICAL RIGHTS”!
Thus, the Good Americans of 1776 were IN ERROR with their “Bill of Rights” – which is why their much-vaunted “right to pursue HAPPINESS” has been “legislatively restricted” to caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol – and everything else CRIMINALISED!
Born to Be Jailed! – that’s the USSA today, as I wrote.
Take their “right to keep and bear arms.” It has also been legislatively restricted – but the Legal Fact – as opposed to “Legal Fiction” – is that any Good American who approaches a Gun Shop and asks for a Gun because he has this “right to bear arms” – well, the Gun Shop Owner is NOT “legally obliged” to give him a gun!
Hence, their Parliament can-and-does keep on passing “reasonable restrictions” upon this “political right” – while their State Personnel are themselves Bristling with Weapons, and using them LAWLESSLY, that too – even in Far Away Places – like Afghanistan!
LIBERAL CONSTITUTIONALISM – LIBERAL DEMOCRACY – and everything else that goes with these – like CONSTITUTIONAL SUPREME COURTS – have ALL FAILED – THERE!
So, what about HERE?
I say: CLAIM ALL YOUR LIBERTIES!
Property – by “homesteading” – ARMS – to protect yourself and all that is yours – and then, to trade freely across land-and-sea. And to engage in any-and-every “consensual trade” – especially including those with FOREIGNERS!
Let me now say a few words in UTTER CONTEMPT for this “Open Letter to the Indian Change” by this COMPLEAT IDIOT chetan bhagat, published in today’s SToI – in which the caption reads, “Don’t deride those who tell women to cover up”!
This “popular novelist” is an IGNORAMUS! He knows NOTHING about ANYTHING pertaining to Law, Economics, or even Politics. His entire column is RUBBISH!
As for me: A Man of Fixed & Unchangeable Principles – foremost of these being The Inviolability of Property – I believe all women (as well as all men) are The Sole Proprietors of their Own Bodies – and are Perfectly Free to do whatever-the-FUCK they wish to do with their own properties on PRIVATE PROPETIES where these are PERMITTED by their Rightful Owners – such as:
To conclude – some words on Macaulay – given the fact that more-heat-than-light is being generated with regard to a recently published biography of this “Whig politician” whom many WRONGLY CREDIT for bringing education in the English language to India.
The FACT is that – a century BEFORE Macaulay – it was Raja Ram Mohun Roy who argued for the same – which is why he is remembered as “The Father of Modern India.” Below are his published words arguing AGAINST Sanskrit education, and arguing for Western knowledge instead:
[See that post from which this has been taken.]
Great Indians like Raja Ram Mohun Roy “reformed Hinduism” – and it is his “Brahmo Samaj” in Calcutta that inspired the “Prarthana Samaj” of Bombay – and, much later, the “Arya Samaj” of the Punjab.
The Brahmo Samaj is what “created” the Tagores – which is why Rabindranath – who came much later – was entirely “homeschooled”!
Raja Ram Mohun Roy – he knew Persian and Arabic as well as English – he appreciated Islam as well as Christianity – and among his innumerable published works are his Precepts of Jesus.
The “interaction” between the Advanced West and Moribund India that occurred in Calcutta of the Honourable Company in those early years thus proceed in TWO DIRECTIONS – and both of these entirely “voluntary”:
First, of Indians studying Western sciences, Law and Political Economy in the English language. And then,
Second, of Western Scholars studying India’s Heritage in the classical languages of India. This is how Indian History was first STUDIED – and how Indian Archaeology was BORN. And even how Ancient Hindu Philosophy came out of the Brahmin straitjacket.
This is how a New Civilisation was BORN in the Indian cities of the Honourable Company – a New Civilisation that was KILLED by all the NATIONALIST-SOCIALISM of the CONgress – which went about systematically deriding anything-and-everything Western, to the extent of destroying education in the English language – to the extent of sub-dividing the territory into “linguistic states” that were all “created” by The Evil Nehru from the Centre in 1956 – immediately “aped” in Sri Lanka, thereby CAUSING the LTTE right then – while also CAUSING Telegu, Tamil and even Marathi CHAUVINISM – and all of these Great Evils finally CULMINATING in the BJP’s “Hindutva”:
DECIVILISATION – in many-more-ways-than-one!
Sadly, Raja Ram Mohun Roy died fairly young – in Bristol – where his body still lies buried. But the very FACT that he sailed all the way there – to SEE THE WEST! – what else? – speaks VOLUMES – while also reflecting extremely poorly on these NATIONALIST CLOWNS like gandhi and nehru – both LAWYERS “educated” in LONDON!
There is NEVER any “clash of civilizations” as that MORON samuel huntington “famously” opined.
CIVILISATIONS always “interact” – and much “learning” transpires – in ALL directions – with each civilization learning from all the others – if they remain OPEN SOCIETIES – powered by INDIVIDUALISM – if their cities are COSMOPOLITAN CATALLAXIES – simply because PIONEERING INDIVIDUALS in this interaction adopt-and-adapt – and then go on to influence others – thereby offering the rest with these Pioneering Moderns on the one side – and these reactionary ORTHODOX on the other.
LIBERTY! – is what allows all this vital progress to occur “naturally” as well as “voluntarily.”
A Closed Society – is precisely what brought DOWN CHINA in the past.
The Japanese in 1850 – their “response” to the “challenge” of the Modern West was SOMETHING ELSE.
Yet, let us TODAY not imbibe any of the Wrong Lessons from the West – like Liberal Democracy, Liberal Constitutionalism, Legislationism, Socialism, and Mainstream Economics!
Now, ROCK-n-ROLL – that’s a Very Good Western Thing! – if you ask ME!
And a Good BEER is Even Better!
While WE can offer them a GOOD CHILLUM!
West-meets-East – and there is ALL-ROUND-PROGRESS!

The Owners of a Private Nudist Beach.
The Owners of a Private Nightclub such as the proposed Moulin Bleu coming up in one of our New Republics, with French collaboration, of course!
The Owners of a Private Film Studio where blue movies are SHOT!
And then, the Private Film Theatres where these are exhibited – with “Rights to Admission Reserved” by the very same Private Proprietors.
To conclude – some words on Macaulay – given the fact that more-heat-than-light is being generated with regard to a recently published biography of this “Whig politician” whom many WRONGLY CREDIT for bringing education in the English language to India.
The FACT is that – a century BEFORE Macaulay – it was Raja Ram Mohun Roy who argued for the same – which is why he is remembered as “The Father of Modern India.” Below are his published words arguing AGAINST Sanskrit education, and arguing for Western knowledge instead:
The establishment of a new Sangscrit School in Calcutta evinces the laudable desire of government to improve the Natives of India by Education – a blessing for which they must ever be grateful; and every well-wisher of the human race must be desirous that the efforts made to promote it should be guided by the most enlightened principles, so that the stream of intelligence may flow in the most useful channels.
When this Seminary of learning was proposed, we understood that the Government in England had ordered a considerable sum of money to be annually devoted to the instruction of its Indian Subjects. We were filled with sanguine hopes that this sum would be laid out in employing European Gentlemen of talent and education to instruct the Natives of India in Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Anatomy, and other useful Sciences, which the Natives of Europe have carried to a degree of perfection that has raised them above the inhabitants of other parts of the world.
While we looked forward with pleasing hope to the dawn of knowledge to the rising generation, our hearts were filled with mingled feelings of delight and gratitude; we already offered up thanks to Providence for inspiring the most generous and enlightened Nations of the West with the glorious ambition of planting in Asia the Arts and Sciences of modern Europe.
We find that the Government are establishing a Sangscrit school under Hindoo pandits to impart such knowledge as is already current in India. This seminary (similar in character to those which existed in Europe before the time of Lord Bacon) can only be expected to load the minds of youth with grammatical niceties and metaphysical distinctions of little or no practicable use to the possessors or to society. The pupils will there acquire what was known two thousand years ago, with the addition of vain and empty subtleties since then produced by speculative men, such as is already commonly taught in all parts of India…
