Ashu: >So what's the fuss? >Why be uncomfortable with his views? >Could be saying the truth that's discomforting? I have same question to you! So what is the fuss? Why are you so uncomfortable people criticizing Paramendra? Only Paramendra has freedom of speech? Why saying the truth about Paramendra is discomforting to you? >That's because, in a democracy, the only way to counter 'bad speech' is by coming up >with better arguments and thoughts, and NOT by ridiculing those who hold >disagreeable or even distasteful or even "silly" views. I wish you tell this to Paramendra too. And shame on you for attacking Rahul Vai on personal level in front of the whole world. I did not even know he was a SLC topper! What he does or what he is now is none of your business! You simply attacked his private life that you have no business meddling with. > Rahul Vai, the members of the so-called English Brigade -- the >people you appear to hate so much -- will do very, very well in the real world >compared to you . . . because they produce, create and share information, knowledge >and ideas. And it's that production that the world values and NOT some quiet >consumption. Please someone tell me if I understood this statement correctly! Is Ashu saying a successful English writer will do very well in the real world compared to Rahul Vai or people like us, in general? What a joke! Where are English professors these days? They should be very successful producing, creating and sharing information, knowledge and ideas. Are they? Is he saying people can not express their views, share ideas and information in any language other than English? By the way, how did Ashu know Rahul Vai can not write in English?
