    A Few Q's (Hinduism)

    1. Can a westerner (White, English, Middle-Class American) convert to Hinduism? Yes, Why not? 2. How would a beginner, with no idea of it, begin to study it for better understanding? (For me, the most confusing part is the terms used in Hinduism that appear to be based off of another...

    Is Libertarianism Compatible with Democracy?

    Monopolies or Oligarchies can never and have never existed without covert or overt government support. A truly free market cannot produce them.

    Is Libertarianism Compatible with Democracy?

    Define 'democracy'. Does a democratically elected government have the right to take away Right to free speech? Right to property is equally fundamental and should be constitutionally protected. A brute majority has no right to use their vote to confuscate and redustribute my hard-earned money.

    HAHA talk of socialism giving anyone 'roots to stand on' is laughable. Anyways no need to start an argument when the country is still celeberating. People are distributing sweets to random strangers on the roads.LOL!

    Are you happy the BJP and Modi won the Indian elections?

    Fun fact- The votes polled by Modi in this election is more than the total number of people who voted in the last US, UK and German elections combined. What a decisive mandate!

    Are you happy the BJP and Modi won the Indian elections?

    Traditional Right-Left dichotomies don't apply to Indian politics.Do re-read post no.3 where I set it out pretty clearly . The Indian Right supports equal treatment of all individuals regardless of all religious groups. The 'Left' beleives that secularism requires preferential treatment of...

    Congratulations PM Designate Modi

    The Congress is history now.They were fighting an election after having delivered double digit inflation, sub-5% growth and large scake unemployment against a leader who delivered double digit GDP growth for straight twelve years in his state and has a Putin-like public persona. On topbof it the...

    Congratulations PM Designate Modi

    Too many complex questions in one tweet. BjP(And Modi) is Right Wing on economics, center-left on social policy. Sikh-Hindu dynamics and political history are too long to go into here.Suffice to say Modi did well in Punjab too, though it was the only northern state he did not sweep.

    Congratulations PM Designate Modi

    Yes, but Modi's caste is a genuinely backward and numerically (and thus electorally) insignificant caste that was added on merit rather than for political reasons.

    Relations with the West will be the fine after some public humiliation for the USA. They refused to interact in any official capacity with the elected leader of a province of 60 million people for over a decade.Then finallyduring the election campaign the US Ambassador tried to meet him and was...
