BJP’s defeat is seldom analyzed deeply

Dalit
By Soroor Ahmed, TwoCircles.net, When the Bharatiya Janata Party performed badly in the August 21 by-polls in Bihar––it could win only four out of 10 seats––it was attributed to the coming together of RJD, JD(U) and Congress. But how will the BJP explain losing three out of nine seats in prime minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat, three out of four in Rajasthan and eight out of 11 in Uttar Pradesh. After all the BJP-led alliance had won 124 out of 131 Lok Sabha seats in these three states in the parliamentary election held in May 2014.

The new Pathans

Dalit
Folklore in northern India goes something like this. A Brahmin, with his sacred threat ceremoniously held over his ear, was standing on the side of the road and answering the call of nature.

The Pathan said: Pandit, how dare you pee while facing the west, where is our Ka'aba. Don't you know we pray our Namaz facing west towards our Holy Ka'aba? You are insulting our Holy Masjid.
