[Reader-list] Shame on IITs

[Prabhakar Singh]

Any discussion is meaningful as long as we are open minded and considerate to the opinions of the other side otherwise it takes a shape of fight and bitterness.Observance of these boundaries will help everybody.

Dear Ranjith,

You are obviously responding to me, though you haven't addressed me
directly. I really do not have the time for this, but the visceral
nature of your hatred is just too fascinating :)

2008/7/22 Ranjith Thankappan <ranjit_hcu at yahoo.co.in>:
> koolie is the word We respect, but not the word IIT dear.

Anyone is free to love or hate the IITs or anything else for any
reason. I did not, and do not propose to say anything defending or
opposing their position on the reservation issue, because (a) it is
far too complex for someone of your disposition, (b) I have not
studied it nearly as much as I needs to if I am to comment, and (c) I
don't have the time.

But please do not tell me that your use of the word koolie indicated
your respect for them. Such a claim is ridiculous, and shows that you
are being less than honest. No one is going to eat you on this list if
you stand by some politically incorrect or really retrograde
statement, as long as you can defend it with reason.

> bz it s an exclusivist agraharam which unashamedly resist the "winds of new world" enter its brahmincla fotrss.
> nothing will happen to this country if we shut down this agraharam.lol !!

Whatever "agraharam" means, they are not about to be shut down, as far
as I can see. So, you will probably have to live with a non-happening
India for a while. In that, you have my sympathies  :))

Best,

Tapas
