Which discussion ?
After this diatribe of a paragraph, there is no mention of Elst and no further discussion of his crimes in the rest of the post.
As for mainstream media, Elst is never discussed there.
So which discussion is imbalanced ?
Unless this diatribe is the ‘discussion’, which, if so, is definitely ‘imbalanced’, but, not by BJP’s proximity or Elst’s ideas, as alleged here, instead, by the lack of supporting reaons for the aspersions the author casts on Elst and his ‘anti-islamist’ readers.

Maybe a second look is in order, on this.

But, this is the 21st century. Allegedly there is no more colonialism and India is “free.” (well except for the outsourcing which gave thousands of Indian citizens a false sense of financial security – that is a sort of colonialism and slavery – I mean why pay an American $10 per hour when you can pay an Indian 50 cents per hour?). So, with the old reasons to say that India has no culture of her own out of the way, why are people still pushing the Dravidian Invasion and some still pushing the Aryian Invasion. I don’t understand the purpose. The evidence for a highly developed India that is purely Indian is overwhelming. Why is it necessary to believe the contrary? What can the west hope to gain?

Do white skinned people have some deep psychological sense of inferiority (after all we are a minority)? If someone has an answer to why the west keeps trying to promote the idea of savage India please enlighten me. Sometimes I get the feeling that there is an agenda running somewhere in the world that non of us are aware of.
