Subject: [India Thinkers Net] Re-Manufacturing history - November13, 2003






From: I. K. Shukla


This refers to Ram Puniyani's essay Manufacturing History.
What he  calls the Toilet theory of conversion, I will like to
call the Toilet Trail of  Hindutwa. It seeks to transcend history,
and it trashes history like a   rogue gone mad. Myth-making
a major enterprise, the oxygen, of  fascistic  communalism,
it cannot breathe without it. Thus it makes for the
wildest forays of fancy into a no man's land of fudge and
falsehood.
