Let me put it like this We live with people who read books by writers who opposed Nazi regime, stalinist Russia and many others who opposed cruel systems and even took the risk of getting prisoned. It is often seen in those malayalam literary magazines about books and people who were anti establishment, mostly latin american and african personalities. There is an acceptance to Primo Levi, Ngugu Wa Thiongo, Wole Soyinka, Rosa Luxemburg or Solzhenitsyn. politics happen only in those far away places, we forget to respond to whats happening in the places where we live.
In the same way, we call it 'Talibanism' asif India is very fair to it's minorities and women. Now, atleast the media picked up the Mangalore issue, as it affected middle class women there. Look at Kerala, the liberal communist 'non'taliban shithole we live. Chitralekha, a dalit autodriver is still being harassed by people in her village. After the supporters helped her to buy an auto, our progressive comrades put salt in the engine, and to add spice they went to her house and shouted and showed obscenities and threatened her. They were kind enough to file a case in her name as well. Look at the incidence of posters appeared on the wall of a woman, who participated in the night vigil against Chengara. Everyday torture is accepted well here, and we look for Talibans to name it . It is very well Indian, as all other everyday tortures Aryan On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 5:23 PM, NUAIMAN <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear, > Should we call what Sreerama sena has done to the pub going girls in > Mangalore as Talibanism? > Why cant we brand it as Sangparivarism or some other Indianism for that > matter. > > On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 2:40 PM, Gladson Dungdung <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Dear Anil, >> >> There are many models but at the moment the Taliban is the best. >> >> >> On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Anil M <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Dear Gladson >>> Only one model exists? >>> >>> On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:57 PM, Gladson Dungdung >>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> Dear Mr. Anil, >>>> >>>> Surely, It is Talibanization, as now the Taliban is the model for >>>> fundamentalization of the society in the name of religion. >>>> >>>> Thanks >>>> Gladson >>>> >>>> On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Anil M <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> "one can not jump after hearing this because the whole process of >>>>> Talibanization of the state is backed by the government of Karnataka." >>>>> >>>>> Is it necessary to use "Talibanization" to describe this kind of >>>>> vandalism?? >>>>> On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:42 PM, damodar prasad >>>>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> Another dimension of the social talibanizing process is the attack of >>>>>> Indepedent Media.
