Shekhar Gupta on Mumbai Blasts

There was once a time when Hypertree felt that the only clear thinkers in India were members of the CPI-M politburo. But then it came to know of some other stellar emotively logical thinkers like this and this, and it had to admit that the hegemonistic world outside the CPI-M politburo was not all madness.

It is thus gladdened to see yet another clear thinker emerge out of the depressive swamp that is the hegemonistic English newspaper columnists (other than our comrades in The Hindu of course).

Shekhar Gupta in this interesting article avers that casteist and classist struggles as well as righteous Islamic self-defence against the hegemonist upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus, are the underlying causes of the recent bomb blasts in Mumbai. Hypertree is always in solidarity with the oppressed and those facing injustice, and cannot fail to grasp the progressive message of Gupta: that it is the upper class upper caste Gujarati Hindus who were behind the blasts and who bombed themselves so as to cast aspersions on Islamic extremists and Pakistan.

Also, in the article he observes that the most “stunning” aspect of the Indian response was the lack of riots. As Hypertree keeps telling its readers, we Indians are barbarians and lie in wait for the next bomb blast so that we can start killing each other and if we do not do this it is very stunning. Hypertree was so stunned, it had to apply Vico turmeric anti stunning cream to its forehead.

Actually Hypertree is not just stunned, it is also glad. For if the lack of riots was the most stunning thing to Gupta, what was not the most stunning were the moral and progressive actions of this government of bravely not acting at all in response to the attacks. It shows that the Gandhian tradition of cutting off ones balls is still running strong as to not be stunning, inspite of the best efforts of the hegemonist communalists.
