Traitors And Anti-nationals In India!

[Guest]

I have a question for the resident experts.


Why is it that you have to be an anti national intellectual to be an intellectual ? Leave alone the Arundhathi Roy types , who pander to the self-loathing and guilt of yuppy Americans to make them feel like they are involved in a bigger cause even though they rape mother earth every day by driving a Humvee to the mall <!--emo&:furious--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/furious.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='furious.gif' /><!--endemo--> and they are far deeper even though they have to go and get regular botox injections .

Even in India , you do not find many nationalistic intellectuals. Immediately they are marginalized as extremists. When did indian media confuse nationalism and secularism? How does the media benefit by this pseudo secular stance?

I am a secular hindu and have no problem with other religions as long as they keep the interests of our country ahead of any irredentist extra national affiliations. When I say that , I become an extremist.


any comments?
