Ironic? Well, M & E were Westerners in my recall.

M & E lived in an age when the Europeans were revolutionary.  That's a
long time ago.  :->

So anyhow, Praful Bidwai on the attacks on Romila Thapar.

McCarthyism's Indian rebirth

May 13, 2003
<snip>
Pro-Hindutva non-resident Indians in North America are
among those spearheading this campaign of intolerance,
especially on email circuits. Driven by their
long-distance or 'Green Card' hyper-nationalism, they
take extremely illiberal positions. They target
individuals and assassinate their character, abuse
them, and try to intimidate them. Among their targets
are journalists, including myself.

Just as non-resident Indians can be a problem, non-resident Iraqis,
Iranians, and so on can be a problem, too, being a bit player in the
epic of an empire.  Watch out for the Chalabi tribe!
