Chindu has taken to Obama in a very curious fashion. Unlike his predecessor who was rubbished in every turn, Obama has been given plaudits in various aspects but given much grief on his foreign policy. A lot of it has to do with Chindu's ideology of pseudo secularism and blindly following the opinions of Left parties.
One such example is Obama's strategy towards Afghanistan which is rubbished by M.K Bhadra Kumar a former diplomat. MKBK takes Obama to the cleaners.
Do you think Obama did not know the upcoming elections in Afghanistan and how crucial it is to ensure that Karzai is not perceived as a US stooge? Or that the Taliban will be strengthened if a strong leader was not elected in Afghanistan?
Obama has proved to be quite effective in dealing with both Zardari and Karzai with his tactics of public admonishment which shuts up the Islamic hardliners and increases the perception locally that they are independent leaders while privately providing arms and money.
But then again MKBK is an Indian diplomat and his thinking proves why India has been so poor in its foreign relations in the last few decades.

In today's news- Sonia Mu Ka divorce imminent and more
In many family oriented Indian movies the child is often the fulcrum between its parents getting together or moving away. Apparently in Indian politics the same apply. Rahul's overtures to the Left parties about a post poll alliance (which exposes the secular parties stance) appears to have not gone well with the DMK which had decided not to canvass for the Congress candidates. Now Sonia has decided to avoid rallies in TN. The spin given to this is,
A few weeks ago, Central and State intelligence agencies had perceived a threat to the VVIP from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Laskhar-e-Taiba and some sympathisers of Tamil Eelam.
Zardari in another bombastic statement states,
Democracies have never gone to war. No Pakistani democratic government has gone to war with India. We’ve always wanted peace.
What about Kargil Mr. Zardari? Terrorism in Kashmir? All instances of war.
Elsewhere in the country, the accused killers of AP CM YSR were sentenced to life imprisonment. Not spit on the grave of Y.S.Raja Reddy, but as per people with the inside story the a-hole deserved what he got.
In the Editorials Psycho Sidd rants about India's intervention against the Maoist Nepal government. I can see his blind faith towards his ideology but some of his rationale is hilarious, for example,
He remained firmly opposed to the democratisation of the army and did his best to scuttle integration.
The primary view of the Nepal Army chief was to ensure qualified persons joined the army. But Left wing writers like Sidd would want every goon with the sickle and hammer logo to be automatically inducted.

Omissions by chindu
Chindu categorized this magnanimity as a non-event. No blaring front-page articles or thumping editorials.
The Pioneer > Online Edition : >> PM’s concert in ‘Q’ major
Despite all this evidence, Mr Singh’s Government unlocked Quattrocchi’s UK accounts and enabled him to lay his hands on this ill-gotten wealth. Thereafter, it deliberately goofed up the extradition process when he was arrested in Argentina and now, just before it demits office, it has got Interpol to withdraw the ‘Red Corner Notice’.

In today's news-Chindu laments Prachanda's exit, LiC vs. DMK, Omar Abdullah and sanity, Madrasas in Pak
The conflict between the Army Chief and the PM of Nepal Mr.Prachanda took an unexpected turn with Prachanda's resignation after the President decided keeping the Army Chief was in the nation's interests. You may ask why is this important?
Nepal is the world's only Hindu nation prevents the Chinese mongrels from knocking on India's northern borders.
LiC in his policy of sucking up to his Chinese masters denounces the actions of the Army Chief:
In defiance of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the army chief pushed ahead with inducting thousands of new recruits, unilaterally extended the tenure of eight senior generals, and withdrew the army from the National Games on account of the PLA’s participation. No democracy can tolerate such insubordination from its army chief. Worse, General Katawal lobbied for support with foreign countries and there was even talk of a coup d’etat.
How can the rag tag PLA a Maoist militia be integrated into a standing army fully is inexplicable.
LiC probably under pressure from his Commie masters has taken the sword against the DMK. After weeks of silence when the DMK flouted every rule under the Election rulebook (Including nominating Azhagiri the Frankenstein) Chindu decides to take the offensive shouting hoarse about the changes in bus fares, bribery in Madurai and other issues.
Madurai, where M.K. Azhagiri, son of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, is contesting on the DMK ticket, is witness to money power and muscle power undermining the democratic process. Ruling partymen have been distributing money to voters and attacking political opponents who objected to their ways.
If the DMK in some machination gets to be part of the next Central Government where the Left is absent, expect swift retribution on LiC.
Chindu often has interviews with odd politicians who have contributed little to the country. One such example is Omar Abdullah, a separatist by heart, a scoundrel by example. In the foreword to the interview Chindu writer Shujaat Bukhari wrote,
While campaigning for his candidates, the NC chief talks about his dreams of making Jammu and Kashmir a model State. Targeting the People’s Democratic Party, his arch rival, is the focal point of his campaign.
Nice! Problem is there is not one response which explains those dreams. Neither is the fight against the PDP explained. Ridiculous waste of newsreel is what I think.
Chindu finally gives the problem of Islamic terror madrasas some space in an article by Sabrina Tavernise 'For many Pakistani children, madrasas fill a void' This is the scary part as Amritsar is less than few hundred kilometers from Lahore and people like Mulayam Singh Yadav want to open up the borders.
Request from CBCNN team: There is new section called Swine of the Week where we target the most ridiculous quote of the week on the Chindu. Please feel free to post your thoughts on who should be this week's Swine. Also please nominate the writer of a 'secular' story for the Jackass of the week.

Full confidence in chindu
When SIT charged the fringe NGO brigade, which is a darling of chindu, of cooking up macabre tales of killings, N.Ram got a big slap on his face. He went dumb. He locked himself up in a dark room, crying insolently over the fate of his stormtroopers. He came out after a few days although he was not fully cured of his recurring foot-in-the mouth disease.
Setalvad in dock for 'cooking up killings'- Politics/Nation-News-The Economic Times
The Narendra Modi baiters among NGOs on Monday suffered a major setback when a Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team (SIT) charged a leading activist, Teesta Setalvad, with adding morbidity into the post-Godhra riots in Gujarat by “cooking up macabre tales of killings”.
SIT headed by former CBI director R K Raghavan said “many incidents were cooked up, false witnesses were tutored to give evidence about imaginary incidents, and false charges levelled against the then Ahmedabad police chief P C Pandey”.
Sit report, which was submitted before a bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam, said there was no truth in some of the major allegations levelled by NGOs. According to the report, the untruths included:
A pregnant Muslim woman Kausar Banu was gangraped by a mob, who then with sharp weapons gouged out the foetus;
Dumping of dead bodies into a well by rioters at Narora Patiya; and n Police botching up investigation into the killing of British nationals who were on a visit to Gujarat.
SIT also said the charge that Mr Pandey was helping mob that attacked the Gulbarga Society was untrue. “The truth was that he was helping hospitalisation of riot victims and making arrangement of police bandobast,” senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi said.
Mr Rohatgi also told the court that 22 witnesses, who had submitted identical affidavits before various courts relating to riot incidents, were questioned by SIT. “It was found that they were tutored. The affidavits were handed over to them by Ms Setalvad. They had not actually witnessed the riot,” the counsel said.
Now N.Ram comes out thundering that courts do not trust Modi. But we all trust N.Ram to selectively choose events and interpret them according his chosen prism.
The Liar-in-Chief thinks he could mislead the readers for ever. He has lost the confidence of the readers. It is only a matter of time before the readers make their displeasure known in the only language that he understands.
Meanwhile, the main culprti in the entire episode, whom N.Ram is so desparately trying to defend, is lecturing against muslim communalism.
Kerala online - News - Teesta Setalvad slams both fronts
The LDF had forfeited its moral authority to combat communalism by associating with the PDP, she said, adding that minority communalism was in no way less dangerous than majority communalism, because minority communalism would always add fuel to majority communalism.
Ironic that Teesta does not apply the above sound bites to the Godhra events.

The sad case of surrogate mothers in China
In many countries across the world, thanks to the miracles of modern science, couples who are incapable of bearing children often use surrogate mothers to have their babies. Apparently this is becoming common in China too with the rising affluence among its young rich. However unlike most countries China holds an iron fist when it comes to birth of children and I was surprised to read the draconian measures being taken to control their birth,
In the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, three young surrogate first-time mothers were discovered by authorities hiding in a communal flat. Soon afterwards, district family planning and security officers broke into the flat, bundled them into a van and drove them to a district hospital where they were manhandled into a maternity ward, the mothers recounted to Reuters. "I was crying 'I don't want to do this'," said a young woman called Xiao Hong, who was pregnant with four-month-old twins. "But they still dragged me in and injected my belly with a needle," the 20-year-old told Reuters. ... Another of the surrogates, who said she'd come from a village in Sichuan province, recounted how officers made her take pills then surgically removed her three-month-old fetus while she was unconscious.
Again I don't have statistics currently about how widespread the crackdown on these cases, but hopefully will be able to provide some soon.
Very sad but I'm sure something like this will not be reported in the Chindu which publishes only the happy tales of the Chinese.

In today's news - PI quits China, Chindu bashes India again and more
Apparently Ms. Pallavi Aiyar, once a fave of LiC and CBCNN for diametrically opposite reasons, is leaving Beijing to head to Brussels.
These were people who had eaten bitterness and survived through dint of sheer will and endurance.
Apparently still she refuses to acknowledge the iron fist of communism ruling China after years of living there.
Denying India's history
Dr.Murli Manohar Joshi of the BJP lead a team to draft the BJP's manifesto where he quoted some facts about Indian history. Chindu in its eagerness to disprove that India had some civilized history asked for comments from "eminent historians" whose names were not mentioned. Here are some nuggets,
About India's agricultural prowess,
Famine was common and is mentioned in Indian texts. We do not have to go looking for certificates of merit from foreign visitors. References are made to anavrishti and ativrishti and locusts as the cause.
About India losing its pride after foreign (read Islamic) invasions
India lost its pride when it became a British colony and not before that. Colonial domination was more deeply destructive than any other had been before it.
Really could you please then explain why millions were slaughtered just to quench the anger of Islamic despots?
About Charaka and Susruta famed Indian physicians of yore,
India had no practice of plastic surgery until modern times. Nor did India know about vaccines.
About ancient India's health care system with hospitals built by kings,
This was probably the treatment given to sick monks in monasteries.
Do you really believe that Vikramaditya, Chandragupta, Akbar, RajaRaja Chola, KrishnaDeva Raya and the Rajputs did not build a single hospital?
Give me a break.
Another set of articles is Chindu's support of Mallika Sarabhai against L.K. Advani.
Ms. Sarabhai on Gujarat,
She lamented the silence and complicity that enabled the massacre, and spoke of her own sense of guilt. “For letting myself become part of that silence. For trusting incorrectly. For letting everyday inanities dull myself to the genocide being planned and executed”. This earned her a great amount of credibility and admiration, more so because she did not waver despite a battery of harassment mounted by the State government.
I'm sure the pinkos will be queuing up to vote for you.
And who's her main supporter? Another CBCNN fave Krisha Iyer the jackal himself,
For this reason, Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer, himself one of the most credible moral voices among living Indians, notes that since Mallika “waged a spirited and consistent struggle on various fronts — judicial, social, cultural, political — against the forces of communalism and majoritarian extremism in the State”, he feels confident that if elected she will “uphold the secular and democratic principles as enshrined in our Constitution”.
Lastly an article about a book fair in Abu Dhabi, which Chindu claims is progressive and
has been growing by leaps and bounds and now presents, for the interested publisher, a window to the world of books and reading in Arab countries.
They have not cared to elaborate which countries they mean? I'm sure its not Saudi Arabia, Iran or Iraq. Perhaps Syria or maybe the gigantic Dubai is the likely reference. While it is good to see some influx of modern literature and thoughts into the Arab world a lot of references to the fair itself exposes the control by the powers-be exerted on the fair like the absence of alcohol, women forced wear hijabs etc.

Political rhetoric explained
MIT/Harvard professor Steven Pinker explains Political rhetoric. According to him, the art of political rhetoric (empty slogans such as "change")constitutes conveying in keywords such as "secularism" "saffron" etc. that your audience can easily understand but which are seemingly benign; Kinsley's definition of gaffe; spindoctoring--"unsavory way to frame opponent's position" e.g., how if you talk of anti-terrorism laws it's meant at targeting minorities; and connotation, reducing certain words to swear words (Hindutva, rather Hindu). Pinker is Chomsky's student, so you can be confident that what you're watching/hearing is coming from secularists' highest authority.
PS- If possible, please peruse Michael Kinsley's book: 'Please don't Remain Calm.' A collection of his columns. He's liberal, but reading quality writers like him is akin to consuming an apple a day: helps wean yourself of 'secular' media and saves your bp.

Why is the bogey of Gujarat riots still being raised?
This blog has time and again pointed out the inconsistencies by the various writers of Chindu. They fall into several categories from the wacko insane (Krishna I) to hyper secular (Malini P) to the blind dogmatic(LiC) to the high school suck up(Khare and others). Siddharth Varadarajan belongs to a different category by himself. A very shrewd manipulator of facts without evidence and presenting them as opinions, Sidd knows fully well that Chindu will give him deniability in any case. His recent article, Where silence prevails, justice will not is a prime example.
His main motive is to tarnish all Hindus in general and Narendra Modi and the BJP in particular for the Gujarat riots and he will go to any extent to do that. For example he claims the Gujarat riots were created as a response for Kashmiri Pandits,
Sanjay Tickoo, a young Pandit from Srinagar, told me. “Riots were organised in Gujarat in our name. But tell me, what do the poor Muslims of Gujarat have to do with our plight?”,
Where exactly is the evidence to that? Siddarth provides no evidence just leaves the statement hanging as if it is fact. This is pathetic journalism. Moving on, another example is the statement of Sri Sri Ravishankar providing an analogy between the camps for the Kashmiri Pandits and the Sri Lankan Tamil refugees.
But Mr.Varadarajan ever the secular pinko apologist states,
But I must also confess to feeling bad that Sri Sri, who is one of India’s most influential godmen, missed an opportunity to prick our conscience by also remembering the callousness of the Indian authorities towards other internally displaced persons like the Muslims of Gujarat or the Christians in the Kandhamal district of Orissa.
Again this stretches the truth significantly, unlike the Pandits who were evicted in their entirety, the minorities in Orissa and Gujarat for the most part have returned back and the state Governments have given evidence supporting their return. There are certain cases where camps are created for the poorest or for people whose homes were totally destroyed.
That doesn't mean that everyone affected by the Gujarat and Kandhamal riots is out on the streets as Sidd would want us to believe.
The entire article is filled with such crap and pseudo secular bullshit that it makes reading it only raise any sane person's blood pressure.
Someone once mentioned that Siddarth Varadarajan scans this blog from time to time. If he is reading this, we here would like him to provide some real facts than just manipulating news and providing analysis to his convenience without any backing.

Waste Bengal
Bengal was the richest province in our country. Bengalis elected communists once. Ever since, the communists have been electing themselves. What a costly mistake it has been for Bengal.
Bengal has been turned into waste land through communist reforms against feudalism. Then the communists sat on top as the feudal lords. Old order restored. Poverty magnified.
The Pioneer > Online Edition : >> Left exposed in waste Bengal
West Bengal has the highest rate of hunger in rural households among major Indian States.
The figure for all of India is 2.5 per cent, for Bihar it is 3.2 per cent and for Orissa it is 5.9 per cent. In West Bengal, however, 11.7 per cent of rural households go hungry every night.
The Congress document also says “14 of West Bengal's 18 districts … are among the 100 poorest districts in India”. The single “poorest district in India” is Murshidabad ... where 56 per cent of the people live in abject poverty”.
In Purulia, there are pockets of armed rebellion against feudalism and tribal oppression by CPI(M) party bosses.

Electoral ways
Raises a lot of questions, isnt it.
The Hindu : Front Page : Out of sight, out of mind
It’s not that NRIs are prohibited from voting per se, says Vayalar Ravi, Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs. It’s just that the RPA does not allow them to use postal ballots. Plus, allowing them to vote in absentia would prove too cumbersome. “What electoral control can there be?” Mr. Ravi asks. “It’s not possible.” While the NRIs argue that this disenfranchises an estimated 20 million people, Mr. Ravi says the task of collecting ballots of such a magnitude is daunting.
The Hindu : Front Page : All for a single voter
The Election Commission on Thursday created history by deploying its men and machinery just to collect one vote, that too in the polling station set up in the Gir forest of Gujarat, sanctuary for the Asiatic lion.

Media has turned into a bimbo
This is what happens when a bunch of losers and crooks take up journalism as a career option. Media has overtaken politics as the dirtiest profession.
The Pioneer > Online Edition : >> Media evades real issues
Has the obsession of pseudo-secular parties to grab the largest chunk of Muslim votes pushed issues of national interest to the background? Why isn’t the media even trying to get the reaction of the leaders of the Muslim community to the rise of the Taliban in Pakistan? This indeed is a sad phase for our democracy.

By 1940, India was a drain on Britain
Economics was the primary reason Britain left India. Gandhi, you said?
Losing Hope, Glory and Assets - WSJ.com
Still, it is not wrong for Mr. Clarke to assign the blame for imperial collapse to wartime commitments. And money had a great deal to do with it. The war, Mr. Clarke notes, "left India a creditor on a vast scale, with Britain owing it huge sums in the form of the sterling balances." This fact meant that London actually owed New Delhi some £1.3 billion pounds (or $5.2 billion in 1945 dollars). The empire had conferred many benefits on Britain, but by the 1940s its administration and defense were a net drain on London.
