This thing about Swaraj needs to come to a head. I've been debating offline with an Arvind Kejrwal "supporter" who is surprised that I don't "get" it that Swaraj is a great idea. Here's an extract from my response Swaraj is a total non-starter without clarification […]

Why Shantanu Bhagwat is 100 times better than Arvind Kejriwal
For those who are smitten by the half-baked socialist Arvind Kejriwal (who simply refuses to listen to any sensible idea), here is a leader who is 100 times better. Shantanu, in this video, is explaining why ALL government schools and colleges in India should be privatised. […]
Sonia Gandhi, your party is SUPER corrupt. That’s fact, not propaganda.
Sonia Gandhi is pretending innocence: "Our detractors and the opposition are bent upon spreading disinformation on political, moral and policy issues". She is the third person I've come across in the last two days to use the word dharma in a seriously misguided sense: "we are proud of our commitment to the interest of the […]

This education system is China's real secret weapon. While India goes down the path of the worst possible education system, China has moved to the TOP of the world. That's enough said. […]
Sri Aurobindo – the vocal opponent of socialism
Most people think of Sri Aurobindo as a great spiritual and literary master. Few realise that he was, in line with Vivekananda and most Indian philosophers, a great proponent of liberty and – in Sri Aurobindo's case – a direct opponent of socialism. Had Sri Aurobindo lived, Nehru's plans of socialism would have been still-born […]
Ambanis, the masters of political bribery, but it is the system that encouraged them
On many occasions I've written about the Ambanis' being kings of bribery. For instance I wrote (in comparison with Narayana Murthy): Not one IT billionaire of India (or even millionaire) has behaved differently to non-IT billionaires of India who have BENEFITED from corruption . From your ACTIONS (NOT TALK please!!) I simply can't distinguish you […]
