Dear Ranju, While agreeing with you on all, I cannot refrain myself from objecting to TVChandran's bad politics. I think you have also seen the movie. There are sufficient reasons and great hopes in our period to be alive and greatly kicking to oppose whatever we feel is injustice.
I am afraid, the TV chandran kind of cynicism which is continoulsy repeated even in his enw film is more inimical to our present changes than the few savrana academics turned subaltern theorists who have little impact outside their cofines. d.Prasad On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 9:18 AM, ranju radha <[email protected]> wrote: > yes damodar > in fact, of late i have been seeing fundamentalist caste Hindus quoting > Obama in order to argue for their casteist/communalist deeds. > > even see the TOI lead india campaign; > see how "equality" has been defined by Youth For Equality kind of modern > Ranveer Senas > TOI kinda being their mouthpieces > > obama has been reduced to a page3 icon. > Just like how the "subaltern" politics and academic discourse has been > cleverly diverted at the academic realm by the savarna Subaltern Studies > scholars, > > the concpt of Obama has alsobeen hijacked > > pity even our dreams are being hijacked!!! > > like the hero in a T V Chandran movie, why cant we commit suicide for the > shame of being alive!! > > On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 5:42 AM, damodar prasad <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> Indianobama- site says "Obama" is a concept and has Advani as one of the >> choice for PM post..
