The Right to be Wrong

After a few days of stalking the inter-web, a middle-aged person decided to speak up about a phenomenon. The phenomenon of "militant" methods of convincing. The phenomenon of increasing sightings of logical fallacy examples, in the wild. An arbitrarily long list of fallacies was drawn up with some dense language pasted for company. Under the able guidance of a more culturally clued-in friend examples were teased out of Bollywood.

No Disrespect Meant #04 – Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?

In this fourth and final post of the No-Disrespect-Meant series, we finish (for now) the ill-advised adventure in perspective which started from the insidious chromatic racism of the Indian sub-continent. Do read up the others, if you could please. This works independently in a way, as it is much more direct than its elder siblings! We complete this unscientific and academically suspect analysis of the current forms of a few of the deities heading the Indian pantheon,especially the splendorous calendar art versions. At the end we leave you with an altered look at some well-known feats of skill which may or may not be memories of (not so improbable) genocide. Please note the weasel words used in the excerpt, to assuage any hurt feelings.

No Disrespect Meant #03 – Let’s Go Crazy

The adventure continues, in this third installment in a series of four posts. Do read up the others, if you could please. This works as a standalone as well, though the least "standalone-ish" of the four! We try to analyze the amalgamation of leading deities of one culture into the pantheon of another. This is supported by an ill-advised, and most probably erroneous, interpretation of the names and words. These may still be true in a particular iteration of the "multiverse". May be even in the one we are currently inhabiting! Oh. and we look into the extant calendar art forms of the Indian sub-continent. Just a teaser for the next post!

No Disrespect Meant #02 – I Heard It Through The Grapevine

We continue the exploration started in this post, second in a series of four. Do read up the others, if you could please. Though this works as a standalone as well, kind of! We tackle a particularly controversial theory, namely the migration of a tribe into the sub-continent. Instead of dwelling on this migration, we introduce an even more controversial theory, namely of amalgamation of leading deities of one pantheon into the mental shrines of another culture.

No Disrespect Meant #01 – When I am feeling blue…
