DesiPundit

The Hindu, famous for writing “fair and balanced” editorials, is eupeptic about the Maoist victory in Nepal. The newspaper, sounding like a Maoist mouthpiece, has published an etiquette guide for the world and Swarnasrikrishnan takes Siddharth Varadarajan to task for his Op-Ed piece.

He opens his rant with the usual “Oh-there-is-a-stampede-for-Maoists” in his article, where the surveys predicting the Maoists defeat were all bogus and commissioned by the “Who-else-but” the US. While he minces no words in deriding the Indian Government because it thought the Maoists will not win the elections, despite getting “field reports” about the ground swell of support for the Maoists. As can be expected, Maoist leaders are “Statesmen”- I thought that word was for people who had been Statesmen for a long career in politics and have proved themselves through their sheer character- somehow, yesterday’s killers[The same who were accused of murders and forced child soldiers by Amnesty] become a “Statesman” today, just because they secretly warned India and not air their opinions in Public.
