[mukto-mona] Re: M J Akbar sacked

WRT: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/47272

By giving some examples and at the same time attacking me Kamdar cannot
disprove the well established fact that Akbar is a great journalist. He
is now 57. Look at his achievements. Both Khushwant Sing and Kamdar
have mentioned them. His achievements are great although all of them
may not be noble. Noble or not---that is mostly a political decision.

> --SC

What "well established facts" are you talking about, Subimal? That YOU
insist that Akbar is "a great journalist?" Just because you say so? How
many of Akbar's "achievements" can YOU list? I haven't seen any in all
of your posts on this subject.

Then again, which "achievements" of Akbar's have I mentioned? That he
ran Sunday into the ground? Only a sycophant could consider that an
achievement. Or, is Akbar's being 57 an achievement? And then we are
treated to the statement that his achievements, as you call them, "may
not be noble", whatever that means, with the qualification that "that
is mostly a political decision."

Profound, indeed, if stringing words together and hoping to derive
meaning from them is what profundity derives from.

BTW, thanks for not singing Khushwant Sing(sic)'s praises this time.
Just to remind you, he was the man who suppressed the story of the
Nagarwala case when he did have an insider's knowledge of the very
murky goings on during one of the worst moments in India's history as
an independent nation. And, if you don't remember, let me also remind
you that he lost a libel suit brought against him by MAneka Gandhi when
he acted as Indira Gandhi's attack dog and wrote a particularly
defamatory piece about her, one that I still have in my personal
archives in India.

Take it from me - I have nothing personal against you. I don't get
"wounded", as you put it, too, nor do I need to "attack" you. But I do have a need to call nonsense for what it is, especially when it is fobbed off as fact. You are welcome to have whatever opinions you want to have. If you do insist that your opinions are gospel truth, then there will be questions asked. And I would not be the only one asking them.
