Since I have already provided a strong riposte to the kind of ideological and political rubbish that is spewed by FTI's idiotic founder Sanjeev Sabhlok in the name of Capitalism, freedom and liberty, I will not spend more time in exposing more of the specifics of his buffoonery .
I long ago realized the futility of engaging in polemic and refutation exercises with a delusive character like him.
I even stopped following the FTI and the antics and acrobatics of SS till Arvind Iyer mentioned about his visit to India in an email.
I was not wrong in dismissing SS as a 'Liberal' hypocrite, who has ultimately cosied upto the Hindu sectarian buffoon, Baba Ramdev and is also trying to mend fences with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
Let's hear the pathetic and hollow apologies from SS about Ramdev:
"Swami Ramdev is merely spreading the best that is found in Indian systems. There is TOTAL integrity in his systems (which are operated entirely by Acharya Balakrishna, who is not a sanyasi but brahmachari)."
"I’ve satisfied myself entirely that Swami Ramdev is totally above board."
How?? SS has not cared to explain and has only made a vague promise to publish his findings about Ramdev.
I would have expressed more views about the hypocrisy of SS and his selfish politics of co-habitation with reactionaries like Baba Ramdev.
But the following comment on his own blog post better sums up the truth and reality of SS and FTI's political misadventure in India.

You say ‘sarkar should not do vyapar’ but wax eloquent about a ‘Sadhu’ doing vyapar and also trying to get into ‘satta’.
This is a shameful thing that you have done. The Indian tax payer wasted its money sending you for a PhD in Economics. Your mind is medieval and attitudes Manuvadi.
Your English is terrible. So is your Hindi. You are no Economist. No wonder the Australian Govt is keeping an idiot like you on retainer.
Shame on you!!!
Shelia would have meant that it is a wonder that a hack like Sanjeev Sabhlok is kept on the payroll of the Australian Govt. Maybe that was a typo from her.
But she is spot on about SS having no idea of how economics works and his medieval attitudes and sickening elitist biases. Also he is not only a Manuvadi, but also a closet Hindutva sympathizer.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteYou look like an Indian by name. I would like to know what is your opinion on India's future considering present govt.
It is still too early to form any opinion on what the incoming BJP govt. to be led by Narendra Modi. The track record of previous govts of BJP has been better than that of the Congress. But their model of development is not inclusive enough and they have a tendency of raking up divisive issues like Ram Temple and Hinduizing learning and education like the Christian Right in US. We will have to wait for a few more months
DeleteAap ke blog athva ID ke Hindi shirshak aur lipi se aisa ghyat hota hai ki shayad aap Hindi mein aapke vicharon kaa prachalan karte hain. Mujhe is Bhaasha mein kaafi ruchi hai lekin Angrezi jitna kaushaltaa nahin hain. Isi liye main apne vicharon or abhipraayon ki abhivyakti Angrezi mein karna ek behtar vikalp maantha hoon.
Agar aapko aitraz na ho toh aap apne us blog kaa link this tippani ke uttar mein de sakte hain jise mujhe aapke vicharon se parichit hone kaa avsar praapth hogaa. Dhanyavaad!
