Freedom of Speech

I just love this site called DesiCritics. You know, they have a very nice comments policy ‘Personal Attacks not Allowed’ :) But they will allow a bunch of people generalize, brand, advise and attack people from one state :) Check this!

And up north one misguided stupid pundit thinks that, generalizing and calling madras chicks as ugly is ‘Freedom of speech’

So Freedom of Speech = Generalizing and abusing people from one state?

Interesting bunch of jokers, I say ;)

Link via Ravages

P.S. I am not generalizing. I am making a personal attack!
P.P.S. I am not going to link the Rascal who wrote about Madras chicks. If you post it in comments, I will delete it! If you are interested blog search in google for that term or better, goto the place that supposedly is the one stop shop for best in blogosphere :P

    What happened to our tolerance,respect for each other and diversity ?

    Here’s what I posted there:
    Kishore, why do you stubbornly resist reason?What xenophobia? Are Hindi-speakers being dot-busted in Tamil nadu? Victimised? Riots against non-tamils in TN? Have you heard of it ever? Riots against tamils in Banglaore? Sounds familiar, doesnt it? Papa, please dont preach.
    As for Hindi, why dont you understand that not speaking/learning Hindi is not treason – it is a fundamental right for me not to speak Hindi. Hindi is not special. It is just one of the languages. No, No, there is nothing called the national language? Hell, if it were, have you ever thought why should tamils oppose such imposition? A language should become national on its own steam – not through force or implication that those whod ont speak it are anti-national. For crying’s sake, understand that. Good luck with reason and logic in the future, man.
    I think you better do that imposition – might ingrain some basic facts in your mind.

    Prabhu, You call them a bunch of Jokers. Okay. You must be a fool if you believed none will find out your subtle digs at Kannadigas whenever possible! Please include yourself in that list.
    Watta pseudo!! Now i don’t want to call you a tamil racist and make you famous a la Shilpa :-)

    seriously .I don’t understand what gripe you had..I am a Tamil too..lived and brought up in chennai ..But I didn’t find anything wrong with Kishore’s article..In fact I find it amazing that you and few others have a problem with..within the realms of my understanding..it was a simple objective analysis..and honeslty you are attributing far too much to it..

    P.S – this is not a personal attack..i read your blog regualarly..but I felt a need to comment on this because I think you are getting a bit carried away ..A la Jade goody style…

    and as far as the other post (madras chick…) it is in general an obnoxious post..wehter it attacks people from one region or not..its not worth a read

    Anonymous,
    I am sure Tamil, Kannada and Hindi are very important languages. Please learn all of them. Just that, if you choose to communicate in English, you should learn English as well.

  7. Zero says:

    Anon, not that I find Kishore’s post interesting, but Prabhu, I think, is primarily referring to the second comment on that post.

  8. Anu (Anon) says:

    Nilu, you are right, I need to learn English if I choose to communicate in English. :-) I am sorry about the miserable spellings and horrible punctuations.

    Zero, and others..all I was trying to say was it is such reactions, (whether it is anupallavi’s comment or prabhu’s blog)that make a mountain of a molehill..but I think JustAtravellingSoldier’s comment was better worded..

  9. Prabhu says:

    Vatsan,
    :)

    JAT,
    True!

    raj,
    Makes sense!

    Guru,
    Wrong number!

    Anon(anu),
    Ok! As zero said I was talking about the comments. Not about the post. People were preaching on what tamilians should be doing with remarks like ‘Live and let live’. Well, I find such statements unnecessary and stupid!

    Nilu,
    :)

  10. I says:

    But when you link to him, your post appears in ‘links to this post’ and you get more hits.

  11. guru says:

    Prabhu, When a cat closes it eyes it thinks the whole world is dark! Can’t you cook up a better response? Mard Bano Yaar! You don’t even realise your site is searchable :-)
    Ignorance is a bliss. They say!

  12. Prabhu says:

    I,
    :) )

    guru,
    Really? My site is searchable. Gasp! I am really afraid now. Oh no! What do I do?

    The weird thing was that author never understood where he went wrong with he insulted a whole section of women. It was sort of like that study which said Indian men have tiny dicks. Sure they did not mean all men in India ;-)

  14. madrasfella says:

    everybody knows how north indians will dominate given an oppurtunity. for them amitabh is the best actor and lata mangeshkar is the best singer(as though sivaji ganesan and p susheela are novice).

    its lack of understanding on the core issue has made the author write like this. hope he does homework before posting

    btw, comparison of tamil with hindi is absurd. sanskrit and tamil are the parents of all indian languages.
