Dear Priyanka, We are truly proud of your achievements as an actor, singer an d model. We are prouder of your outburst against Donald Trump, the controversial US Presidential candidate who could very well 'Make America Hate Again'! You were spot on when you said: "I just think you can't put a ban on anyone; Generalising a type of people is really primitive." Insightful words Indeed! As a matter of fact, I too have been a staunch critic of Trump and his politics of hate. However, at this point I must dare point out that this phenomenon of bigotry is not confined to the American shores alone. All across the globe, terrorists and fascists have sprung to power and formed governments just by selling Hate to the local populace. We have seen it happen in Egypt, Turkey, Gaza, Russia, Syria, Afghanistan and even in some European countries! Social media and the collaborative conventional media (or bazaaru media) rather than curtailing this menace, have contributed to i...

(A fictional Shakespearean speech by Amit Shah, Narendra Modi’s Mark Anthony - conceptualisation and translation by Vivek Pereira) Fiends, Minorities and other second-class citizens, lend me your ears (or we’ll chop them right off and take them during the next riots, anyways). I come to praise NaMo not to bury him. The evil that men do lives after us. Goodness was never in my bones. So it is with NaMo. The noble Uma Bharati had once called Modi ‘Vinash Purush’ and he responded with “Et tu, Uma” and then took the help of the RSS to vanquish her. For NaMo is an honourable man…if you do not count his role in the 2002 riots and its subsequent cover-up, Snoopgate, various fake encounters, corrupt crony capitalistic dealings with Adani-Ambani, his disdainful treatment of senior leaders like Jaswant Singh, Advani, etc. The next to wound him grievously was Smriti Irani, the saas-cum-bahu who announced that she would go on a fast unto death - in line with Ekta Kapoor’s ‘Acche Sanskaar’ ...

I don't know which is worse Nazi Germany or Narendra Modi's Gujarat. And yet we all turn a blind eye to the situation. But doesn't Modi win elections? Yes, but Hitler too won elections. Wait a minute... Narendra Modi has improved Gujarat a lot in terms of development...it achieves more than 10% growth. Well, the Nazis virtually transformed Germany into a global superpower with technology and infrastructure far ahead of their times. If only they had used it for better goals. Their missile technology was far superior to those of their foes. In terms of employment, the Nazis drastically reduced the unemployment problem in Germany. And, by the way, as per Vaghela's claim the average growth rate enjoyed by Gujarat from 1980 to 2000 (in the Pre-Modi era) was 16-20% and it has in fact come down in the past decade!!! But doesn't Narendra Modi claim to be secular and he recently went on a Sadbhavna fast for communal harmony. ha ha ha..Modi and secular..you're joking, r...
