Obummer!!

Thank you for the kind words, winningnow! However, I wish I had more readership and more critiques in the form of comments. I still don't know how much of it was found to be convincing by people. Nobody has agreed or disagreed with anything!

Btw, was it you who left the remark on my blog by signing as 'losing now'?

Thanks, that's a great favor! I have followed Aruna Roy's interviews on TV, as also her compatriot Nikhil Dey's. In fact, I made a reference to Nikhil Dey's position in my post.

"For completely different reasons, and in completely different ways, you could say that the Maoists and the Jan Lokpal Bill have one thing in common — they both seek the overthrow of the Indian State. One working from the bottom up, by means of an armed struggle, waged by a largely adivasi army, made up of the poorest of the poor. The other, from the top down, by means of a bloodless *hian coup, led by a freshly minted saint, and an army of largely urban, and certainly better off people. (In this one, the Government collaborates by doing everything it possibly can to overthrow itself.)"
