Oh! The Poor Terrorist!

For once that I thought something decent came out of much relived Sagarika Ghose reading through her latest blog on Mamata Banerjee's thumping victory in the recent Bengal polls. But she gave it all away in the end with the usual apologies offered by the left intelligentsia to cover up the belligerence of Islamic terrorists and the maoists. Sample this

"But it's the plebian grassroots leaders who have the power to ensure that we do not become Pakistan where the rich control politics and the poor blow themselves up out of desperation, either as Maoists or jihadists."

Its true that India and Pakistan have remained feudal to a great extent, in many ways more so is Pakistan. Its also possible that the poor would be the most vulnerable to such propaganda. But does that take away from recognizing the essential goals of the two totalitarian ideologies Maoism and Islam? The Fort Hood Incident as well the failed Times square bombing has shred this vile proposition of poverty breeds terrorism to pieces. Its an undisputed fact that the real support for the naxal movement is coming from Champagne liberals like Arundati Roy, Rahul Bose et all. The anti-national protests at the Center for Left wing studies a.k.a JNU also stand testimony to this. With such glaring evidence in front how hard is it for the Media moghuls to see through the real agenda of two most dangerous ideologies?
