I am a lazy guy, not even 2 out of 10 posts which i want to write make into my blog, but i do get some energy and responsibility to blog once in a while and the credit goes to Arun Shourie.
Just because "The Only Fatherland" of these theoreticians has collapsed, just because that collapse has taken the theory down with it does not mean that they have been rendered harmless. Their claims are hollowed, they have nothing to say, but they still control large parts of our academia and a very large part of media, certainly the media in English. Therefore, at every opportunity they must be confronted with what has become known about the regimes they had held up to us as exemplars. They must be confronted with and requested to explain what they were writing till just six years ago. The lie they repeat should not be shrugged off just because it is the same old lie: it must be nailed with evidence - each time, and as many times as it is repeated. As must every half-truth by which they seek to once again inveigle us into looking away.
