Jaswant Singh Book on Jinnah

Some of the reactions to JS's 'research' are just too wild - wildest being JS's own reactions. The two reactions that have stood out in my mind have been

Here JS, a former foreign minister , supposedly a deep-research-type, also supposedly familiar with diplomatese, goes on to compare BJP with KKK. So what is KKK known for ? Having chintan-baithak and expelling people from political parties ? This stmt is like saying my-dad-is-like-hitler. Most people around the world think hitler was a jew-hater while people in India think hitler was a strict disciplinarian.

Such stmts from normal folks is ok but when it comes from JS, with the host of senior positions he has held in the past - i dont know. To me it seems like he has gone senile.

The other wild reaction that is probably the most hilarious is when people accuse JS-expulsion as "anti democratic". I seriously do not understand what is so anti-democratic about this ? The man has gone senile - he likes to throw nataks on national TV - the hell with the party and you want the party to have a scholarly debate with him ? There is something totally wrong with this picture.
