			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">Here is one of the reasons  &#8220;why you shouldn&#8217;t trust Indian media&#8221;:</p>
<p align="justify">The news was simple to understand &#8220;Taslima Nasrin heckled by God&#8217;s own warriors in one of the God&#8217;s own check post Hyderabad&#8221;. Just another event God wanted them to do.</p>
<p align="justify">I read all the news items in Google taking a cue from <a href="http://barbarindians.blogspot.com/2007/08/secularism-collides-with-reality-falls.html">barberindian</a> , for the same.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Local politics behind attack on Taslima</em>&#8221; &#8211; Hindustan Times<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen attacked in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; NDTV<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima heckled in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Economic Times<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima heckled in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; The Statesman<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen, Poet, Attacked in India: Men Attack Her; Other &#8230;</em>&#8221; &#8211; The Moderate Voice<br />
&#8220;<em>Assault on Taslima Nasreen</em>&#8221; &#8211; Central Chronicle<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Attacked In Hyderabad, Journalists Protest</em>&#8221; &#8211; Newspost<br />
&#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen attacked in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Zee news<br />
&#8220;<em>Andhra MLAs, 20 MIM activists manhandle Taslima Nasreen</em>&#8221; &#8211; Daily news</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">and our own Desicritics:</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;<em>Taslima Nasreen Attacked by MLAs in Hyderabad</em>&#8221; &#8211; Desicritics</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">If you want news items from international media</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Muslim Protesters Attack Bangladeshi Author in India</em>&#8221; &#8211; Voice of America<br />
&#8220;<em>Muslim group in India threatens to behead Bangladeshi author</em>&#8221; &#8211; EarthTimes</p></blockquote>
<p align="justify">See any difference ? <span id="more-375"></span>If you still dint get it, read any Indian news item on this topic. It will be written &#8220;Taslima a renowned writer from Bangladesh&#8230; blah blah was <em><strong>allegedly</strong> </em>heckled<em> </em>by <strong>people belonging to one community</strong>.. &#8220;</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Morals of the story</strong> :</p>
<ul>
<li>Indian media does not give you news, they give rumours and gossips.</li>
<li>No one  including  left, right, middle,  women rights organizations , secularists, online petition makers; I_dont_have_to_work_to_do people ( Shabana Ajmi , Arundati Roy ) etc etc., seems to be bothered by this. This is <strong>secularism </strong></li>
<li>Taslima or Dalai lama, welcome to India, we give you freedom to breath and eat dal-chaval. If you do anything more you will be <strong>allegedly beaten to death!<br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>update:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2"><strong><a href="http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=90746">Hyderabad, August 11</a>: </strong> The Hyderabad police have registered a case against controversial Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen, who was recently attacked by workers of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) in Hyderabad, for allegedly creating ill-feeling among communities.</font></p></blockquote>
<p>Moral of the this story : <strong>&#8220;Ulta chor kotwal ko date &#8220;</strong></p>

</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">Before a bullfight, people will hit the bull on the head with bags of sand – for a long time and violently – to deprive the bull of his senses, according to <em>The Washington Post</em>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">Former bullfighters admit that bulls are intentionally debilitated with beatings to the kidneys and heavy weights hung around their necks for weeks before the fight, according to <em>The Animals’ Voice</em>.<span id="more-365"></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">Most of the time, bulls go into the arena blinded by the light because they are kept in darkness for 48 hours before the confrontation, according to the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">Mexican bullfighting also includes novillada, or baby bullfights. Baby bulls, some no more than a few weeks old, are brought into arenas where they are stabbed to death by spectators, many of whom are children. These bloodbaths end with spectators’ cutting off the ears and tail of the often still conscious calf lying in his own blood.</p>

</ul>

<p>And here is one of the local versions -  from Madurai. These methods may not be as cruel as it is mentioned above. But bull fight can never be bull friendly , wot say ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">       Some time back Srik asked me “Whats the difference between a Kerala communist and other communists? Well, Kerala communism is a philosophy by itself. It is “take policies as time changes and completely forget where they started”. In my opinion it is a complete hypocrisy. Infact, communism in India has lost its meaning. If Karl Marks was alive today, he would have definitely taken rat poison.<br />
      For example, there was “Anti Coke Pepsi” campaign few months back. Kerala assembly discussed it for length and finally decided to ban those products. Next day none of the college campuses had Coke and Pepsi but Sprite, Seven-up, Mirinda, Fanta …were available. A curious journalist asked one of the ministers “Why two products alone, why not ban all the products which are proved to have chemicals”. Minister happily said, “Oops &#8230; In assembly we did not discuss other drinks at all &#8230; he he”.<br />
Another instance is where they have done blunder in <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/left-democratic-front/">their party name itself</a> (my previous post).
</p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-341"></span>Coming to the point of me being called a Kerala communist when I was a kid, was because of the way I used to argue. Here is an instance I remember –</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">“Hey mom, Bro is eating curd”<br />
“So???”<br />
“Why am I was not served curd for lunch”<br />
“Alright &#8230; take how much ever you want”<br />
“Gee..!! You know I don’t eat curd”<br />
“I know that &#8230; that is why I did not serve you”<br />
“But why did you give it to him, all are equal isn’t it”<br />
“You don’t eat, I did not give it to you. Your brother eats, so he is eating”<br />
“There is no equality in this house, if all are equal how come some are served more??”<br />
Soon after my statement there was political oppression on me.<br />
Now when I look back, I feel it’s kinda cute. Thatz me!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">When was the last time you exclaimed &#8220;Oh my god&#8221; in public ? and which god was it ? You don&#8217;t now ?? well , you better know it. Some one might sit on your neck and prove your exclaim is very offensive to him. Also it would be politically and theologically incorrect and big time violation of his rule he has read.</p>
<p>Here is a guys who went on proving the <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/06/24/my-shit-is-better-than-your-shit/">same stuff</a> all over again. To mention some:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="justify"> God came and told me &#8220;I am god. If any other gods come and claim that they are also gods, its wrong. please note down there is no god other than me&#8221;. Now there if there are any , that is  a violation.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">  God said that he doesn&#8217;t have a face , if any other gods claim to have face thats again violation, since my god said so.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>so on , you ll find many such logical reasoning in this video.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify">There are several Jokes on Adam and Eve, the first prophets. This political joke is my favorite among them. I read many versions of it , with Russians , Egyptians and Indians also. Pakistani version is very apt for the context. No offense .. but truth <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify">A German, a Frenchman, an Englishman, and an Pakistani went to an Art museum and were spending some time in front of the painting of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. After observing the painting for a while an intrigued observer asked the four men where they thought Adam and Eve&#8217;s origins could be from.</p>
<p align="justify"> The German said: &#8220;Look at the perfection of their bodies. She with her slender and well-formed figure and he with that athletic body and bulging muscles. There is no doubt they must be of German origin.&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">Immediately the Frenchman reacts! &#8220;C&#8217;est Impossible! One can clearly see the eroticism that is exuding from both figures&#8230; She so feminine? He so masculine&#8230; And both so aware of the impending temptation&#8230; They must be French!&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify"> Shaking his head in disagreement, the Englishman comments: &#8220;Oh No, Chaps it can&#8217;t be! Note the serenity on their faces, their delicate pose, the sobriety in their gestures. They could only be English.&#8221;<span id="more-333"></span></p>
<p align="justify"> After a few more seconds of contemplation, the Pakistani exclaims: &#8220;I do NOT agree with ANY of your theories! Look closer, they do not have clothes, they do not have shoes, and they do not even have shelter. All they have is ONE apple to eat and to top it all off it is prohibited, there is fatwa on it! They don&#8217;t protest and they STILL think they are in Paradise!?? Clearly, these two can only be Pakistanis!!!&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And this is latest controversy on Adam and Eve, the first prophets &#8211; A Pakistani version. This cartoon was published in a Pakistani Magazine some time back. As expected  there was a fatwa on the editors. And Guess what was the complaint ? Cartoonist painted the couple &#8220;naked&#8221;. Guess I need to read holy books again , these guys questioning my memory <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>To my dear future wife,</p>
<p align="justify">        I don&#8217;t care how do you look. I don&#8217;t give a damn about how much do you weigh. These are all immaterial in a proper Indian arranged marriage/remarriage ( with Indian culture incorporated in it). What i am asking is you to follow proper culture and customs &#8211; which is the same tradition which we celebrated from years.</p>
<p align="justify">      If you still dint understand, forward this to your dad. tell him these are the things he needs to take care.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="justify"> I am a post graduate in a world class institute and currently working in a reputed multinational. My current market rate is min of 25 Lack rupees. Just for you i am relaxing the rates. Let be in dollars and just 22 Lacks.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">I don&#8217;t like two wheelers, they are unsafe and inefficient with me and you ( two hundred KGs ) on it. Ask your dad Ford. (By ask i mean insist )</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">I estimate you can always carry minimum of 5 to 6 kg of gold. its just for a day ( the day you are getting married ). (Please refer the example picture ) Later I shall decide what to do with it. I am a good investor , and I bet the best in horse race.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">I would like to have ( need ) a grand party for me and my friends. We take &#8220;teacher&#8217;s&#8221; and &#8220;Vat69&#8243;. See i am making it cheaper, I dint ask for Jack Danial&#8217;s <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="justify">There are several other requests , I shall let you know as and when it comes to my mind. But beware I have five Lt of kerosene ready, I wont hesitate to use it as all Indian cultured dudes have done.<span id="more-329"></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">Example: This is picture to illustrate how much dowry you can bring to me. After looking at this I felt I should be following Indian culture of taking dowry and throwing all ethics to a pit. good luck.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="left">           When the movie &#8216;Pirates of Caribbean&#8217; came to theatre here(I am a hardcore fab of Jonny Depp), I bought tickets, watched that crap, ate pop-corn and came back. I am also planning to watch Sreck 3. If I like it, I&#8217;ll applaud and write a blog entry. If not walk out in the middle of the movie and drive back home.<br />
Watch a movie, laugh/cry, watch again/quit in middle then forget about it, that&#8217;s all&#8230; Life is to enjoy&#8230;so simple &#8230; I thought, So far.<br />
Now, let me introduce some of Rajni&#8217;s fans, to whom watching movies is not as simple as it to me (buy tickets, eat popcorn etc). They cry, they laugh, they go hysteric, they get new hair cut, they get tattooed &#8230; pierced etc, etc.</p>
<p>Have a look at couple of extreme worshipers of Shivaji
</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://bachodi.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/sivaji1.jpg" alt="sivaji1.jpg" /></p>
<p>I live in Chennai and life seems so different from last one week. Having Rajani movies in your town is not all that simple. This phenomenon is observed on such a large scale, the entire state seems mesmerized.</p>
<p><span id="more-325"></span><br />
Here Prathibha Patil to be the next president of India is just another news but this news is not as important as &#8216;Shivaji&#8217;!</p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://bachodi.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/sivaji2.jpg" alt="sivaji2.jpg" /></p>
<p>PETA PETA where are you ???</p>
<p><a href="http://bachodi.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/sivaji2.jpg" title="sivaji2.jpg"></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The story Ramayana* is his entire life journey starting from his innocent youth, his mastery over skills in winning Sita, his role as dutiful and obedient son to adhere to his father’s words while aware of the flagitious intensions of his step mother. He gives up all the worldly richness and sets away to spend 14 years in jungle. </span><span></span>Sita being his wife accompanies him followed by Laxman, Ram’s younger brother.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">They spend quite an adventurous and romantic** life in the forest. Sita finds her world in her husband Ram and experiences an unspelled love for him. Everything works fine when one day, Sita gets abducted by Ravana while Ram is away to fulfill one of her impossible wishes. Ram does everything possible to get back his love. He gathers a huge army, builds a bridge across an ocean, does all that he could. Finally, he succeeds to kill Ravana and gets her back. </span><span></span>With this they complete 14 years of stay in jungle and they return to their kingdom after which they should have lived happily ever after.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">But the story takes turmoil instead, Ram’s story ends here and Sita’s story begins. This happens when a subject of Ram&#8217;s kingdom whispers &#8220;how could Ram trust Sita, who been with Ravana for so long&#8221;. Ram wants a test now, Agni-Pareeksha &#8211; A test to check purity of a woman, by entering into fire. Exactly this part of the story becomes hard to digest. This is where so many questions arise and is left unanswered.</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Did it serve right for a person like Ram ‘the so called God’ to come down to such a cruel act? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Is he setting example for all men or rather his followers to commit such an act?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Or is he doing right by following well set example from his predecessors?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Ram must have done justice to his kingdom? But why not to his wife? Had he really loved her he wouldn’t have banished her at such a crucial moment.</span><span id="more-301"></span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Did it serve her right to undergo another painful punishment after she had been a victim and had already suffered years of pain in the evil’s custody?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Why anywhere in the whole epic Sita does not have any views? Why didn’t she refuse when they were to leave for jungle (her sister Urmila does that)? Why didn’t she not ask back &#8220;why should I jump into fire?” “Don’t you trust me?”</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">We often come across people stating ‘Ram jaisa pati mila hai’. Can we really consider Ram as an ‘example for perfection’?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">If these questions are answered they can be called as Sitayana. It should contain the entire possible thing Sita would have had in mind, but not presented in Ramayana. <a href="http://blog.ninapaley.com/">Nina Paley</a> an Indian born professional animation moviemaker is releasing <a href="http://www.ninapaley.com/Sitayana/">Santayana</a>. She says: </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">&#8220;We never really know why Rama banishes Sita. Common interpretations resemble rationalizations and apologies: Rama &#8220;had to&#8221; abuse Sita to maintain the traditional order of his kingdom, in which the opinion of the lowliest man ranked higher than the life of any woman. As literature, Rama&#8217;s behavior towards Sita makes no sense&#8230;except it&#8217;s so realistic. It is the Ramayana&#8217;s ambiguities that make it so compelling.&#8221; </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I strongly feel, movie is going to make some level of controversy and protest. If you are planning to participate, please make sure you have answers to all the questions Ms. Paley is asking.<br />
Some clips of the movie have already reached youTube reservoir. I have posted two of them.</span></p>

</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">* Ramayana – the most popular mythological epic dwells around Ram –ninth incarnation of Lord Vishnu as believed by most of the Hindus. Ram is another name for a ‘perfect man’ and is symbolized for loyalty, respect, courage, justice and unbound love.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">** Their romantic story in forest is only next best to Kalidasa&#8217;s Shakuntala. They sit watching &#8220;Kaumauda&#8221; near lake cheek to cheek whole night long with &#8220;rAtrirEva vyamsIt&#8221; (a great literary work in Sanskrit).</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal">I feel we have lost a definition of word “insult”. We are dying to find an insult in something and we are waiting for it to happen. Take our National anthem; you translate it – Insult! Instrumental? – Insult! Sung for more than 52 seconds? – Insult! Less? – Insult! Lower/higher pitch – Insult!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the time I don’t get what exactly is an insult. If Mandira is wearing this is an insult, then why not those thousands tri-color clad fans acting crazy is an insult. Why those thousands of plastic tri-colors in dustbins on next day to Aug 15, is not an insult. I want to know very badly why it is insult if mandira does it, and why it is not when this <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/who-the-hell-is-this-goddess/">woman does it</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal">she was in a saree — designed by Puneet Nanda of designer label Satya Paul — that had flags of all countries in the World Cup.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> By the time the showers had done their two bits, Bedi was back on air with a different saree. But the damage was already done. Puneet Nanda had to apologise. “<strong>I didn’t think our flag would end up near Bedi’s foot.</strong> I am sorry,” he told</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/198/476334285_d776aedd84.jpg" class="flickr-photo" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">The controversy comes at a time when Akal Takht, the highest body of Sikh religious affairs, accepted the apology of Bedi pertaining to the use of a Sikh religious symbol on her body as a tattoo                           &#8211; <a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1093522">DNA</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><span id="more-296"></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Puneet Nanda tells. “I didn’t think our flag would end up near Bedi’s foot. I am sorry,” In other words that would be “I am sorry that we insulted ours, alas  &#8230; It should’ve been theirs”. Just imagine what would have happened if Indian and Pakistan flags just interchanged(they are currently in lucky spot). I guess Musharraf would have tested his next missile EOD</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>          In India believers have some undefined dislike towards animal products into places of worship. They are not allowed into temples and places of worships. I really don’t buy the idea of we all started as vegetarians and animal lovers, but I feel they are introduced into the religion to convince the followers to show god loves animals too.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">Major three or four religions in India want its followers to be vegetarians. Most of the followers successfully convince their gods, that they will be <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2006/09/13/vegetarians/">vegetarians on specific days</a> of the week (Fridays Lakshmi, Saturdays Vishnu etc).I saw so many of them while ordering in a hotel “<em>two Rotis<span> </span>&#8230; and then<span> </span>&#8230;hmm… today what ..??Tuesday&#8230; alright &#8230; Butter chicken!</em>”<span>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span></span>People don’t enter temples if they had taken any non-veg that day, and most of them can’t explain why?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">These all confusing rules, people made them and the same people find loopholes not to follow them, Then why to have them at all. Why restrict only to temples.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">There are some more of them</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kerosene </strong>are not supposed be used in any of places of worships. They are considered to be animal product, came into form by tones of animals and plants died billions of years ago.</li>
<li><strong>Sugar </strong>is not used in any of the Hindu religious ceremonies. The reason is sugar is prepared from Jaggery, and while doing it they polish jaggery with some animal product (I guess it is leather). So any sweet is cooked is using Jaggery directly.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">I have listed certain things which are missing in those rules.</p>
<ul>
<li>All gods and goddesses wear <strong>silk</strong>. All Shwethambaras and Peethambaras presented to gods are silk, which are results of boiling thousands of silkworms. Similarly <strong>honey</strong>, which is obtained killing or burning thousands of honeybees.<span id="more-251"></span></li>
<li>Worships are accompanied with <strong>drums</strong>, which of course cannot be made of plastic. One priest explained me (proudly) drums (and similar) have leather of camel (lizard leather for small ones) and sting instruments have horse skin (stings made out of that).</li>
<li>Krishna idols have <strong>feathers</strong> on his head. Idols have Hamsa-thulika-thalpa (bed made out of feathers of a swan), and Chamara (Fans). <span></span>I am sure no peacock or swan volunteer and donate its feathers, it I supposed to be bought from a hunter</li>
</ul>
<p>I see similar so many things, which <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/the-weak-the-god-and-sacrifice/">animal loving</a> people are forgot to mention in the books.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Two things to conclude.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">We were never vegetarians originally. Sacrifice wouldn’t have had a meaning otherwise. Neither were we animal lovers (remember Ashwa-medha-yaga?). Every now and then priests get bored they create something like this ,  “vegetarians only”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following Friday Vegetarianism religiously is just hypocrisy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Nobody needs to teach Indian hypocrisy and stereotyping; it’s a gift in their blood. We love to laugh at another person’s mole on his nose, while we are standing in a pit full of cow dung. South Indians disliking north Indians, North Indians don’t like south Indians and both together dislike north-east Indians. In fact North-east Indians itself is new usage, for the rest of India they are just &#8220;Chinkis&#8221;. It’s not racist, just sense of humor.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One more thing common among all of them is “my daddy<span> </span>&#8230; Strooongest!!!’. We have the best culture, language, community and nature; we are best analyzers, psychologists and of course rest of them live in a fish pond. Those people don’t like Mohanlal to be hero in this age are O.K with Rishi Kapur dancing with girl of his grand daughter’s age. We are O.K with Salman Khan’s pink trouser but Vijaykanth’s yellow shirt is so funny.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One of the most general and popular “happy to be ignorant” story is about a place called Madras in India. People live there are madarassis. For south Indians it is one metropolitan city which is now named as Chennai. But unfortunately for north Indians it is a wide unexplored area comes in south to Maharashtra and Orissa. (For north east Indians it does not matter. Geographically south India has four different states and six to seven different languages, for north Indians it is just madras. The rest of the India thinks whole madras speaks one language Tamil and they survive with Idly Sambar Vada.<span> </span>We made a big deal when Celebrity big brother’s sister did not learn Shilpa’s name isn’t it?</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Knowing Hindi is one more misconception around. People worried why rest of the world not bothered learn Hindi. Well why should they? States are organized as linguistic regions. Every state has its own language; they are official and national language as Hindi. Why complain people over there don’t understand my language?</p>
<p class="NormalArial"><span id="more-248"></span><br />
This kind of assumptions and misconceptions works other way round also. Kashmiri’s don’t love India, Bengali’s don’t take bath, Assamee’s are extremists etc. Generally this or any of such issues are fought in mails and posts. One starts and there will be avalanche of mails/comments, cause it’s easy to write offending mails/posts.
</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">This post ( <a href="http://batrasden.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/this-is-indian-racism/">This is Indian Racism</a>) I can mention here is a person who is pissed off with the terrorism panic in Bangalore. People of North Indian origin is asked to register details in nearby police station (to be sure he has no records) and this guy goes Fs ad Bs. There was an analysis and it was found any of south Indians did not participate in freedom fights.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Now my message to those living out in their ponds like the frogs who never knew what it is like being outside….</p>
<p class="NormalArial">You guys ever knew how a war is fought (65, 71, Kargil )? None from South Indian community was ever engaged in Struggle for Freedom</p>
<p class="NormalArial">The stupids of North India fight for India, die for India and u guys say they all are terrorists and you are different coz they are Northies. huh!!! Thanklessness Personified!!!! God forbid, if anything like Tsunami occurs again, from North Indian people’s side, nothing will change. These Pseudo Indians will ask for Rice from North Indians. And then we North Indians will donate it and don’t worry we will not poison it then.</p>
<p class="NormalArial">Grow up you South Indians…I wish u cud…</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Update: all Fs and Bs are deleted in his post.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">Strange analyses and may be it <span></span>explains lot of things. Biharis getting kicked in Assam can be argued right back since Battle of Plassy ( seventeen hundreds I guess ), don’t ask me connection . And of course why marathi’s hate kannadiga’s in belagam ( currently Belagavi I guess ) is because kannadiga’s did not fight for Shivaji against Aurangazeb five hundred years back. May be they did but that is not a point.</p>
<p align="justify" class="NormalArial">One mails also I want to mention here. Some techie living in Chennai, has lot of complaints. Some of them may be valid, the others I tried to answer here (and send him a link to this post ) <span></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><span style="color:red;"></span><em>Language &#8211; Tamil, Tamil and Tamil. Even if they know Hindi, they dont speak up.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">Aren’t there any place where India where Hindi Hindi and only Hindi , or Bengali Bengali and only Bengali ? When you are not learning a local language when you are living in it , why are you expecting them to learn a language which is rarely used in their town. and about &#8220;even if they know Hindi they dont speak is highly exaggerated. There are some proud , conservative people but they are exceptional cases. Why would an auto driver or a cigarette shop owner ( Most of the time you interact with only these ) does not talk to you in Hindi ( even if he knows ) . There is life he has and he needs to earn to live.</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><span></span><em>Food &#8211; Idly, sambhar, rice, dosa, vada, pongal We have to cook our food ourselves (unbelievable naa). “Even dogs eat curd rice ,”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span></span><em>Once we saw a girl in the food court, she was looking and acting like a north Indian. My friend became exited and planned to talk to her, but just then we noticed her breakfast and then &#8220;dil ke armaan aansuon mein beh gaye&#8221;, she was having pongal. (disguise!!)</em></p></blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">What about places where only roti, naan, alu parantha? Dude what will you do if you go to Italy ? eat pizza / pasta or complain that you don’t get Tanduri items</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>We asked an auto driver, &#8220;Hindi aati hai&#8221;?. He replied in Hindi &#8220;Hindi nahi aati&#8221;.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify">At least that. If a tamilian comes to Delhi or Mumbai and asks &#8220;Tamil terima ?/kannada barutta &#8221; will he reply as &#8221; teriyad/gottila &#8221; . He will say &#8221; go to hell / bhad me jao &#8221; isn’t it ?</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>The most common suffix here is &#8216;a&#8217;, e.g. straight &#8211; straighta <span></span>2 cup tea &#8211; 2 cupa tea</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Local language influence. Have you ever defined &#8220;Istyle &#8221; and &#8220;Iskool &#8220;</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial"><em>When there is a &#8216;t&#8217; in any name, they add &#8216;h&#8217; to it. jayant &#8211; jayanth <span></span>bharat &#8211; bharath . Here is a culture of adding mystical alphabets after ones&#8217;s name, like Mahesh R, Sandeep T etc.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="NormalArial">Why do always people think their language is best and according to UNICODE standards ? Does people here write &#8221; athal &#8221; for &#8221; atal bihari &#8220;. I have written about it here as <a href="http://bachodi.wordpress.com/2007/02/03/whats-wrong-with-your-name/">What’s wrong with your name</a></p>
<p class="NormalArial">Some more of them I don’t want to answer(and which also doesn’t need one ).</p>
<blockquote>

They are above every one, you, me, law and the nation&#8230; yes nations. Generally &#8220;they&#8221; are called to be &#8220;jagadguru&#8221;, or “shree shree shree…”  (&#8220;amma&#8221; or &#8220;Mata&#8221; for females) i.e. gurus of the world (universe to be specific).</p>
<p>Check out these photos. This lady is a goddess (oh no  &#8230; not one more). And she wants national flag below her legs. &#8220;Mothers&#8217; are above nation you know.</p>
