This article is extremely anti-intellectual, dangerous and hurtful to extremely brilliant scholars who strongly believe in fukularism. It should, therefore, be banned.

On his view of anti-liberalization:

******
Let’s come to the growth versus development debate then (which should not be a debate at all, but you and that Gujarati have got into it). You have said that a focus on growth helps the “already-privileged”. In fact, if your own life is any indication at all, the “already-privileged” have it good any way, growth or bust. You created a world record when you became professor and head of the department of economics in Jadavpur University at the age of 23 (may be Robert Mugabe anointed a grandson as vice-chancellor of some university in Zimbabwe at the age of 18, I wouldn’t know). You weren’t even a Phd then. But you were from the aristocratic Brahmo Samaj clique. P.C. Mahalanobis, czar of the Indian planned economy and another Brahmo, was your father’s friend and was impressed with you, and there you were, airdropped from a masters degree in Cambridge onto the throne. India was stuck in the Hindu rate of growth, but that didn’t hamper your career, did it? One can only hope that this extreme nepotism shaped your ideas when you grew older. But I have never heard you say that you were privileged in any way.

Guruvu-gaaru, supporting bans on things you don't like seems to make you think others must be like you too. In the spirit of aprastuta prasangam, let me ask you this: did you support a ban on exhibiting MF Hussain's work?

Your trick won't work. How about reading the following and deciding which is a more important problem - corruption or Modi:

Actually, corruption is an outcome. The real problem is in the fukularistic mindset. Unfortunately, fukularism has become much more sikular under CONregime. Extremely brilliant scholars know what is fashionable. So, they ignore the real sikular problems and concentrate on self-deprecation. Akbar, Aurangazeb and Vadra ji zindabad. Banana republic jai ho.
