Evil Abhi,

LOL.. are you the real “abhi”?..

Dude this is what I read from the blog..

As I kept talking on the phone with my mom I realized what was driving my opposition to her support, albeit lukewarm, of the protesting doctors and students. I wanted revenge. I wanted revenge for all the ignorant comments I had heard about “Untouchables” on my trips to India. I wanted revenge against all the people that think being part of the Brahmin-caste actually means something, or is worth mentioning in casual conversation.

Now figure out what it means and tell me if my comment was wrong..

Why do you think “revenge principle” is wrong??.. Not volunteering for Abhi, he was mentioning the casual remarks he hears about Dalits by his family members and wants revenge.. Sounds logical to me.. In the same vein, Modi’s revenge if he hears the constant taunts by Muslims on Ghazni’s sack of Somnath sounds logical too..

Soon the school children of Bakersfield and Santa Cruz-Watsonville will be trembling at the textbooks after we shame them into recognising the pinnacle of our glory. I am personally tracking the movements of elements of the Left Wing Cabal to their secret meeting place where they plot the destruction of Hindu civilisation. Doniger, Chaterjee, PseudoSecular Mutiny, Roy, Pankaj Mishra, all of them meet there in between offering dua to Jesus and Allah and machinate for the destruction of Hindus everywhere. Room rented by Pakistan ISI.

I am making a band of braves, led by MoorNam, myself, and the other great true Indian Americans of like mind to burst into their cabal meeting and threaten them with our saffron balls. So it shall be spoken:

“Don’t twist our scrotum anymore, evil cabal! We have Infosys and 8% growth rate and nuclear weapons! We’re the best minority in America and win Spelling Bees! The game’s over for you Leftist Cabal! Stop hypnotising the American Indian youth to marry Abrahamics and negroes! Don’t tickle our balls anymore, we have Hindu Pride!”

So it shall be. Hindu Pride will be restored. The Muslim’s crimes against our collective persecuted ass will be avenged. Until we decide to avenge it again.

And we are also the most tolerant.

Hail Mogambo! etc etc etc
