All Gujaratis are Blood Thirsty, says Ashis Nandi.

For those who have not read it on January 8th in Times of India., I reproduce the
excerpts of the article of this Mr. Ashis Nandi.

... The Hindus and the Muslims of the state — once bonded so conspicuously by
language, culture and commerce — have met the demands of both V D Savarkar and M A
Jinnah. They now face each other as two hostile nations.

...Gujarat has already disowned the Indian Constitution and the state apparatus
has adjusted to the change.

...The national leadership of the (Congress)party does not have the courage to
confront Modi over 2002, given its abominable record of 1984....

....The state has disowned Gandhi, too; Gandhian politics arouses derision in
middle-class Gujarat. ......Gandhians have made peace with their conscience by
withdrawing from the public domain. Gandhi himself has been given a saintly, Hindu
nationalist status and shelved. Even the Gujarati translations of his Complete
Works have been stealthily distorted to conform to the Hindu nationalist agenda.

.......Future generations will as gratefully acknowledge the sangh parivar's

contribution to the growth of radical Islam in India as this generation remembers
with gratitude the handsome contribution of Rajiv Gandhi and his cohorts to Sikh
militancy.

...The East Asian tigers (read Communuist China?)have all been maneaters most of
the time. Gujarat has now chosen to join the pack. Development in the state now
justifies amorality, abridgement of freedom, and collapse of social ethics

...Is there life after Modi? Is it possible to look beyond the 35 years of
rioting that began in 1969 and ended in 2002? Prima facie, the answer is "no". We
can only wait for a new generation that will, out of sheer self-interest and
tiredness, learn to live with each other.

...We have to wait...........ultimately Gujarati traditions will triumph over the

culture of the state's urban middle class.

...Recovering Gujarat from its urban middle class will not be easy. The class has
found in militant religious nationalism a new self- respect and a new virtual
identity as a martial community, the way Bengali babus, Maharashtrian Brahmins and
Kashmiri Muslims at different times have sought salvation in violence. In Gujarat
this class has smelt blood,

......for it (the affluent and middle class) does not have to do the killings but
can plan, finance and coordinate them with impunity. The actual killers are the
lowest of the low, mostly tribals and Dalits...(means, tribals and Dalits are
criminals, and they do not have their own judgement.)

.....The middle class controls the media and education, which have become hate
factories in recent times. And they receive spirited support from most non-
resident Indians who, at a safe distance from India, can afford to be more
nationalist, bloodthirsty, and irresponsible.

TOI comment:The writer is a political psycologist.

Now........this is what I have to say.

The TOI says that Mr. Ashis Nandi is a political "psychologist" (sic). If he is a
political "psychologist" then I am the Father of the Nation.

He says in all his sanity, (...and TOI has printed his article), quotes"Future
generations will as gratefully acknowledge the sangh parivar's contribution to the
growth of radical Islam in India as this generation remembers with gratitude the
handsome contribution of Rajiv Gandhi and his cohorts to Sikh militancy. "
Unquote.

Now, Now, this so called psychologist does not even know that Sikh Millitancy was
a product of the policies Indira Gandhi and not Rajiv Gandhi and his cohorts. I
fail to understand why no one from the Congress is rising against this very
irresponsible statement by our "political psycho....Mr. Ashis Nandi. He does not
even know our very recent political history.

Further, the under-current of his article, -which was defended by none other then
the Editor, Mr. Gautam Adhikari himself- is anti Hindu, and anti Gujaratis,
because Gujaratis have voted Mr. Modi to power,This Ashis has the audacity and
guts to doubt the very intelligence of the Gujarati Middle Class, and the people
of Gujarat. If Modi would have lost the election, the same Mr. Ashis
Psycho(logist) would have written that People of Gujarat has rejected a dictator,
an anti-Muslim fundamentalist and.....what not.

Look at his courage, He has the Insolent boldness and audacity to state publicly
in Times of India with the backing of Mr. Gautam Adhikari, Editor, Times of India,
that " Gujarat has already disowned the Indian Constitution and the state
apparatus has adjusted to the change. " He does not know that Gujarat is and will
remain pioneer in upholding Indian Constitution, unlike your Congress backed
Kashmir government whose FM is advocating a separate currency for Kashmir, or
Communist backed Maoists who advocate the philosophy of China and thinks that
power comes only through the barrel of the gun. oh...oh...I am so sorry, how would
he understand Chinese philosophy? He does not even know Indian history properly
and he is just a political "psychologist"

This man is writing, quote" Finally, Gujarat's spectacular development has

underwritten the de-civilising process. One of the worst-kept secrets of our times
is that dramatic development almost always has an authoritarian tail." Unquote.
Because Mr. Modi has won on development issue, he says, the dramatic development
is possible only in the countres ruled by dictators.....willl he produce one
example? is Pakistan a developed nation? Are countries of Africa developed? Are
China and America run by dictators?

Mr. Ashish Nandi leaves in fool's paradise, displaying his imprudent grit he says
that Gujarati Middle class has smelt blood, like Bengali babus, Maharashtrian
Brahmins and Kashmiri Muslims. He has equated the Gujarati Middle class with the
violent forces of West Bengal under CPM or Maharashtrians., He is saying that all
these people including Gujaratis are bloodthirsty and irresponsible. why? just
because Gujarat and Gujaratis have elected Mr. Modi as their CM. Not only he has
blasted the middle class for this, but he goes few steps further and says that
Gujarati middle class are planners and arrangers of murders which is being carried
out by Gujarati lower class and Dalits of Gujarat. will you accept this rubbish
and bull-sh*t? He is very best supporter of SoniaG's "Maut ke Saudagar" remark. I
think it is he who has written that, now most famous speach of SoniaG, which led
to the debacle of the Congress in Gujarat.

and look at his courage, in his enthusiasm to blame Gujaratis, he has not spared
even the NRIs. he says, " they receive spirited support from most non-resident
Indians who, at a safe distance from India, can afford to be more nationalist,
bloodthirsty, and irresponsible." Because, NRIs have 100% contribution towards the
development of Gujarat, he wants to spread this line of policy, which has the foul
smell of Goebbel-ism. Gujarat, Gujaratis and Mr. Modi and his government should be
prepared for the barrage of such false statements in the coming days via English
media, in general and Times of India in particular solely to spoil the image of
Gujarat internationally.

I think, Mr. Gautam Adhikari, the editor of the Times of India, believes every
word of this Ashis and he has formed a policy in Times of India to bash up Gujarat
and Gujarati people and Gujarati NRIs. I can say this because he has proclaimed
that He does not care if TOI looses "few readers". I hope, he has taken permission
from the owners of the company before giving this statement. If he continues with
this policy, then his company will be loosing all the revenue given to paper by
way of government and Gujarati corporate advertisers and few people who have
hijacked TOI might loose their jobs along with those "few readers"

Mercifully (for Ashish), no one reads TOI in Gujarat, except few migrants who have
gone there in search of better jobs, or Gujaratis who buy TOI but hardly read the
middle page.
As a citizen of this country, I can only condemn this so called political
psychologist and condemn his article, in it's entirety for his effort to isolate
Gujarat from the rest of the nation with active support from the Times of India's
editor Mr. Gautam Adhikari.

The writer is a self proclaimed "political philosophist."
