There are two types of Indian Liberals
1) Elite English Liberals and
2) Regional Liberals

Basically are really Very NICE people so 10 tweet thread on them...
1) Indian Liberals believes in curious mixture of half truth and half lies. They fail to recognize that the idea of liberty they are cherishing is can not exist in abstraction. A success-full free society will always in a large measure be a tradition bound society.
2) Indian liberals however are nice people, they read the right kind of authors (Noam Chomsky for ex) and quote them adoringly, they pontificate over the fate of secularism and make the right kind of noise (rise of fascism), hang their heads in shame when Babari demolition but.
they keep mum over spread of Islamic Terror, Nice People, they go into rapture over the plays by hater of hindu society. Their fav. weapon is argumentum ad hominen, - a fallacy in which the arguer rather than the argument is attacked.
3) for them muslims are being sterotpyed by media (but if they know a bit of islam, they would come to know they there is no sterotyping) for them Hindu Society is most iniquitous, unjust and unfair in the world.
4) They are such nice people that they will never challenge castist canards like Lalu and Mayawati, and if someone else will do , for them, they are just A hindu fundamentalist. You may argue, they won't: They will shout and you will be shouted down.
5) Once the high priests of secular-liberal inquisition brand you as communal, fascist or anti-poor, there is no way to challenge that. For them abuse is the argument.
For them government is always under the evil influence of global capitalism, such nice people they are.
6) If you want to know what chic is , just have a lok at Arundhati Roy's recent writing. The latest intellectual fads, fashionable phraseology, high sounding rhetoric, sexy philanthropy, magnificent gibberish, high humbug-- you will find everything there except little substance.
7) Nietzsche once wrote, "I want to say in 10 sentences what other say in 10 volumes--and what they do not say", in this respect nice people like Roy are antithesis of Nietzsche. Here is one example of miss Nice Madam.
8) The real prob with intellectuals like Roy is that they are too lazy to use common sense. Slothfully they reach out for the available leftist explanations and slogans otherwise they have seen that slum dwellers for whom her heart bleeds, are not as helpless as she is showing.
9) The intellectual Absence in academia of Indian Right has just aggravates the matter. For instead of effectively countering the Left's hidden agenda. We Indian RW on many issues just echo the political philosophy of left (ex economics), many a time we are incomprehensible.
10) Not surprisingly, such nice people gets a free hand to set the agenda and conduct public discourse as per its own caprices and fades, and the motto of "high living and no thinking" gaining ground, the tyranny of decibels will feel no threat to its regime, unless we woke up.
