Truer words were never spoken

I don’t bother ‘engaging’ with him, because yes it is pointless. But the occasional push-back, calling out of silliness or ridiculing his …wild-eyed assertions? Yes, I think that’s fair play.

See, I don’t think nutty comments are worthy of ‘complaints’. But the occasional call-out or refuting should be fine.

Its when you try to somehow coddle rabid extremism and ‘normalize’ it, that becomes an issue.

that’s……..something even hardcore Pakistan patriots would hesitate to assert. 🙂

It isn’t though.

Nothing is permanent but change.

Q is both deliberately provocative but is also so sure he’s absolutely correct that there’s really no point engaging with him.

To be fair to both BB and RNJ, it takes two to tango. BB was the one to have requested the ceasefire with EK and Q.

I don’t think Kabir is the target of everyone’s ire because of literature etc. Most of us can’t reconcile the widely divergent views he espouses depending on the topic under discussion.
Of course it’s in nobody’s interest to constantly fight about topics where there is never going to be agreement. I’ve had my fair share of disagreement with him but both of us have simply arrived at a mutual ceasefire of sorts and can still engage cordially on other topics of interest.

Q and EK are consistent in their outlook across the board.

India doesn’t have one race
India doesn’t have one langauge
India doesn’t have one religion
India isn’t a common state until the British.

It’s as much of an ‘organic’ country as ‘Europe’ or ‘Africa’. Probably at the same level of Pakistan.

Since Indians are very wary of these facts, they tend to define themselves now as one ‘civilization’ but they aren’t even one civilization.

well Mythology became reality pretty quickly.

India seems a very well-defined and organic nation.

we of course disagree with your historical analysis and Romilla Thapar is a left-liberal
