In between these reports there is an op-ed piece by Shashi Tharoor and an
editorial. Tharoor, on March 6, in an op-ed piece titled âIndia\\\'s Past
Becomes a Weapon,â says âThe Hindu zealots who chanted insultingly
triumphalist slogans helped incite the worst elements on the Muslim side,
who set fire to a railway carriage carrying temple campaigners; in turn, Hind mobs have torched Muslim homes and killed innocents.â If Tharoor\\\'s rationale is extended and applied elsewhere, we can then say that the VHP and BJP people can be incited to burn down the offices of newspapers andmagazines and the homes of activists who continuously caricature the Sanghand its leaders as fascists.
Tharoor is an ideological brother of Sen, Azmi, and their ilk. Here is an interesting article from Rajeev Shrinivasan.

Riot
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155970645...glance&n=283155
In this novel about an American murdered during hindu-muslim riot he throws in the his opinions on the Ayodhya conflict. As usual hindus get the biggest share of the blame.
By the way, he is even known to have said that \\\"Hindus needed to validate their lord Ram through the Ayodhya movement\\\", when the truth is that Ayodhya movement resonated because Lord Ram is held in high respect by Hindus.
The Great Indian novel
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155970194...5Fencoding=UTF8
Here he juxtaposes Mahabharata with the Indian independence struggle. This is a hit piece that degrades hinduism with parallels that exist only in his delusional mind. In this contrived clap trap Karna = Jinnah, Bhishma = Gandhi (with a penchant for enemas). Such is the disgraceful record of this imbecile.
He uses his writings and position as a platform for his anti-hindu venom. His opinions are not backed by any rational arguments, but the reader is asked to accept them just because of his authority. Can you imagine what this guy will do as a Seceratary General. First request to India : Ban the \\\"fascist\\\" RSS. Second Request: Decalre all hindu activits criminals. Third: Give the Kashmir to Pakistan. I would rather see a Gadafi or Chirac become the Seceratary General that the likes of Tharoor.
I don\\\'t think that there is any danger of this Tharoor guy becoming UN SG because America pays 25% of UN\\\\\\\'s bills and I doubt they will put a known leftist in that post especially with GWOT. But then again they put Ghali in there before pulling the plug on him. This raises an intersting question for the \\\"Matter of Pride\\\" people, why would they be proud if a bigot gets nominated or elected to some international post? Knee-jerk national reflex?
