• Fake Swami Agnivesh

    He calls himself an Arya Samaji. However, nobody considers him as one. He uses that label to hoodwink the naive. This is what Wiki says: “He invited the wrath of the priests from the Puri Jagannath Temple after demanding the temple be open to non-Hindus. His remarks were termed by a representative of the temple as “purely [...]

  • Harsh Mander’s Babugiri

  • Wordsmith Javed Akthar & Actress Shabhana Azmi

    Updated: 2009-12-30 13:11:59
    Javed Akthar is soft poetry. Shabhana is violent prose.  Together they make a fantastic duo  in degrading Hinduism — quite fair for their Mommin background. And, of course, our mainstream media raves over the couple — giving them extra-soundbytes. My cliche: They rhyme well without reason.
