It makes no sense to write posts against each other here. Just do what you want in the comments (and the author can moderate those).
We will recover from this. I just deleted several posts and I hope the authors will not start it up again 🙂
And Kabir, please, try to limit yourself to one post a day. Educational and informative ones are better than daily “RSS is coming” warnings 🙂

I would appreciate if my posts are recovered.
I had made reasonable comments on Sairaiv Kerala GST and then deteriorated to a flame war. Later Sairaiv deleted most of the comments. So I decided to make my comments into a post.
Anyway if the posts are not recoverable I can re post. I usually do my posts on Word and then post. So I have the original Word on my computer.
Incidentally this chap Sairaiv is quite the racist. Throws around the word sub human liberally. A word that was used by Americans to describe Slave. Same with Indian upper castes for lower castes and outcastes.
I warned that his use of this word could have repercussions for this Website. He just dismissed the warning and asked if he would be charged by ICJ and taken to the Hague. I said at the least Brown Pundits could be taken off the google news linking.
Anyway, I think Nivedita has since removed comments with term. I have save a screenshot of one such comment.
Clearly a thinly veiled threat against BP by the Sri Lankan India hater. It would be a shame if Omar / Razib /XTM give into such blatant blackmail.
Just out of curiosity, search for the word “jew” in the comment section, you will see more than a hundred anti-semitic posts by our friend sbarr here.
Not to mention all the Dalit cosplay he engages in. (He’s not, but often insists so as to insert caste into an argument)

Everyone on this site needs to understand one thing. sbkurram cosplays as a sudra or dalit but his Vellalar community is the most elite, landowning caste in Tamil society and have a long record of brutal oppression of the dalits and adivasis. Don’t be fooled by his fake claims about his late wife looking like an adivasi. Tamils are generally dark-skinned.
You are not a lower caste, you sub-human scum (cry more). You are from the elite Vellalar caste which has been oppressive towards the real sudras and Dalits for centuries. All your ancestral wealth is a result of that systemic oppression. If you had an iota of decency, you would give it all away to the actual Dalits as penance for all that oppression.
I correctly identified you as sub-human given your demonstrated behavior of throwing racist bile and saying things no human with a double digit IQ would do. I stand by my assessment. It has nothing to do with your ethnicity or skin color, just your behaviour.
We need some basic ground rules for BP. There is never any excuse to call anyone “subhuman”. Please desist from this behavior.
No, i will not. I was too kind to that racist sub-human POS who poured racist bile on 1.4 billion Indians with no provocation whatsoever. If you want to have ground rules, start with ensuring authors don’t say unhinged racist shit. But that would mean you would personally be constrained in your comments.
To repeat Sb is a person of sub-human IQ and attitude as demonstrated amply by his behavior here. Nothing to do with his skin color or ethnicity which I had no idea about when I made those comments.
I am advocating for ground rules where no one can be attacked on the basis of race, religion, caste or national origin. You seem to be the only person who has a problem with that.
Indians are not a “race”. Racially, I am exactly the same as any North Indian.
I have repeatedly said I do not approve of sbarrkum’s comments. You seem to really struggle with reading comprehension.
Anyway, continue making a fool of yourself. Razib will be hearing from sbarrkum regarding your behavior.
And to repeat, Sb is not even from a community who were oppressed by the upper castes. His caste, Vellalars, is literally at the apex of Tamil Hindu society. It is his community which has been oppressing he real sudras and Dalits for centuries.
For him to cook up imaginary victimhood while having benefitted immensely from being the oppressor caste is totally sub-human behavior.
That is irrelevant to the fact that no human being should refer to another human being as “subhuman”. That should be an absolute red line.
Anyway, I’m done litigating this with you. Sbarrkum will be complaining to Razib.
It is totally relevant. I am not gonna let you forget your indecent, uncouth and uncivilized behavior of assuming my caste and accusing me of being a casteist in calling Sb sub-human. An act so terrible that you had to be shamed into apologizing to me repeatedly.
Sbarrkum can go and complain to the UN or ICJ. Doesn’t matter. He is sub-human.
//no human being should refer to another human being as “subhuman”//
How does this rule apply here? Sb is demontrably sub-human. Please apply your weak, tiny brain so that you don’t end up with such silly logical fallacies.
Keep digging a hole for yourself.
I think you don’t understand how blogs work. The blog admin (in this case Razib and Omar) can ban you and block your comments if they feel it is warranted.
The drama on BP over the past week revolves around you. At this point, it’s clear you are the problem–not anyone else here.
It’s not too much to ask you to stop calling another BP author “subhuman”. Yet you insist on misbehaving.
.
don’t be hyperbolic.
Kabir / Sb also you guys need to behave
There is nothing hyperbolic about stating that I will die on the hill of calling a person sub-human if he racially abuses 1.4bn people. But you own the blog, your call.
I think let’s start with a clean slate.
I don’t think this is a productive discussion.
Racism is bad; so is calling people sub-human
Then we are at an impasse. I not only think calling a racist as sub-human is not bad, i believe it is a moral imperative. I will keep doing so. . If that is not in consonance with the standards you have for the blog…..well, as I said, that’s a hill i am willing to die on.
calm – this is a blog, there is nothing existential here.
people do need to get a grip..
I also do not agree in dehumanising anyone, even if their views are beyond the pale. that is the slippery slope..
.
I edited ur post as I don’t want to be lectured on how to moderate
Can you share Razib’s contact? I want to complain against your singing.
The correct place to complain is the UN Human Rights Commission for human rights violation.
Since you are not trained in Hindustani classical music, your opinion is neither here nor there.
“Educational” and “Informative” is in the eye of the beholder. Thomas Blom Hansen is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the RSS.
As for daily “RSS is coming” warnings, I will continue to post against Hindutva. Please apply this same standard to the anti Pakistan postings that also occur quite frequently.
Why don’t you link to the last “anti-pakistan” posting. I cannot remember one in recent history.
Even the ones you do will all be written by xtm, the blog admin. I challenge you to find a non-xtm post.
Here you go:
https://www.brownpundits.com/2025/11/13/pak-journalist-blames-munir-for-india-and-pak-blasts/
This is from last week. That certainly qualifies as “recent history”.
It is absolutely unacceptable to accuse the Field Marshal of orchestrating the recent suicide bombing in Islamabad. This is beyond despicable.
Hahahaha, thats your friend. You invited him to this platform and said he refused to come because it was a Hindutva hotbed. He posted that after I left, I missed it.
But thanks for highlighting, it’s very amusing.
That’s not my friend. My friend’s name is Manav Kapur. This is Manav Sachdeva.
Get your facts straight.
Fair enough, you kept harping on about a Manav and this was the only Manav I see on the site, going to take your word for it.
Anyway, fact is neither Nivedita nor I ever post about Pakistan and we are the main reason you keep insisting this is a hindu rw playground.
Once again pyrrhic victory Kabir, there are hardly any anti-pakistan posts contrary to your claim.
Why don’t you post about Pakistan more? I hardly see any from you either, seem quite fixated on India.
There was a thread from “Recovering News Junkie” (previously known as “Daves”) which basically accused Pakistan of the Red Fort Bombing. I deleted that thread. Then I was told that deletion of threads is not allowed.
Anyway, I have a perfect right to post about what I want. I choose to focus on Hindutva since Hindutvadis are my ideological enemies.
You will recall that I have posted about Hindustani classical music. That didn’t get traction on this site as what tends to drive engagement is geopolitics.
I don’t need to justify myself to you further. I am just putting these facts on the record.
Also, if you truly care about what I have to say on Pakistan and are not just being rhetorical:
https://kabiraltaf.substack.com/p/the-assassination-of-salman-taseer
I also posted recently on BP about the 27th Amendment to the Pakistani Constitution. The post is called “Killing the Constitution”
https://www.brownpundits.com/2025/11/12/killing-the-constitution/
For the record, I posted about the 27th Amendment to Pakistan’s Constitution just last week
https://www.brownpundits.com/2025/11/12/killing-the-constitution/
That is if you really care and were not just being disingenuous.
I will read it in a bit. Does it have any useful take beyond the news? I’m quite up to date on the news. Nevertheless I’ll give it a chance and let you know.
Feel free to delete that comment.
The point was that I am quite capable of criticizing Pakistan when I feel the criticism is warranted. The fact that I choose not to do so on a forum where most people are already hostile to Pakistan is a different matter.
On my Substack, I have a piece about Pakistan’s blasphemy laws (originally written immediately post the assassination of Governor Taseer)
https://kabiraltaf.substack.com/p/the-assassination-of-salman-taseer
For the record, I can only delete comments on my own threads.
Oh, I feel like such a klutz, I genuinely thought you had written an article and was going to free up some time to read it.
Turns out it was just a snippet from Dawn.
Kabir, why don’t you take some time and genuinely write an article, theres little worth in all this posturing. We know you can write and you have immense pride in your english. Get off shitposting and write something worthwhile.
The other article about Pakistan was 14 years ago. Don’t you think it is high time for a new one?
(I hope our PM is not responsible for distracting you so)
I have nothing to add on the 27th Amendment other than what has already been covered in DAWN. I’m not a lawyer.
The point I was making is that I am critical of Pakistan when the criticism is warranted–whether on the Blasphemy Law or on democratic regression.
As I have explained repeatedly, BP is a forum where the majority of people are already hostile to Pakistan. I’m not going to give you attack lines. You are more than capable of finding them on your own (hopefully).
I could turn the question around on you: Why don’t you write articles criticizing Hindutva?
See how ridiculous that sounds?
What attack lines? I never write about Pakistan. You misunderstand again, write about anything, in fact write about all the positives you find in Pakistan, we rarely get to hear about them. That would be a worthwhile voice.
Let’s not get into telling each other what to write.
I’m not really interested in doing PR for Pakistan.
Kabir drop this exchange now please..
I don’t want the back and forth please.. contribute positively
This post discusses a published piece written by a Pakistani journalist in exile. This is considered “anti-Pakistan”?
And you deleted my thread because you chose to interpret a simple comment about ‘looming dogs of war’ post a terror incident, as an accusation.
Your agenda, as well as credibility is not at all as obfuscated as you think it is.
I am so done with this toxicity. Instead of meaningful discussions, this slugfest is such a collossal waste of time.
yes Kabir is overreacting but don’t be hyperbolic. if BP is toxic don’t patronise it
I have attempted to move myself, and BP towards more ‘light than heat’. Its because I cared enough to try. Still do. I am not ‘threatening to leave’. Or boycott. *shrug*
I know it sucks to be the policeman, but please don’t blame the victims, or at least the ‘non offenders’.
Apologies RNJ – I was wrong.
Also I’ve made you a policeman; ur editor now 🙂
I think it is inappropriate to insinuate that the Field Marshal orchestrated a suicide bombing in Islamabad–especially in the absence of evidence.
Anyway, you are free to post your own threads. I don’t have the ability to delete them. But I am very clear about the types of comments that I will not allow on my threads.
Kabir calm please
I’m perfectly calm. I was just calling this to your attention.
In the absence of evidence, to make such an accusation is inflammatory.
I won’t belabor this point any further.
[…] X.T.M on Authors, please dont post against each other […]
