Chief minister Mr Buddhadev Bhattacharya welcomes Professor Noam Chomsky and his wife at Science City auditorium, Kolkata, on Tuesday. — The Statesman NOT A PRETTY SIGHT: The parking place outside Vardaan market also serves as a garbage dump.-The Statesman. ???? ---- What he doesn’t tell his audience is that Afghanistan has been facing drought for the last three years, And what the statesman doesn't tell their audience was the plans for handling that drought, well documented in lesser killing application circles. But the Chomsky-red-neck joke was also good, not that it has much meaning in India, more of an angloamerican 2-party, traditional,historical thing.??? Ilmarinen What about this indian superior prize winner in economics?? that smart guy??

I am not anti-Chomsky, because he does have some valid points. However, I think Professor Noam Chomsky, linguist and social thinker should be rephrased as Professor Noam Chomsky, jingoist and social thinker. Since he's a linguist, I think he'd appreciate my definition.

Carl: You don't understand Kolkata (Calcutta), which is in West Bengal, a state with many decades of democratically elected communist governments. Chomsky will fit right in there. Similarly, Kerela in southern India has had communist parties in power. I think there was a recent discussion of multi-party democracies. India has multiple parties. Some are based on linguistic lines, some on religious grounds, other on caste lines, others on ideological grounds, and others purely on the charisma of individual leaders. Democracy does not have to be "You are with us or you are against us." Arun Here is another example - the communist party has strong roots in >>I wouldn't think that India would be feeling particularly proud of associating an obvious idiot (obvious that is, in the aftermath of the WTC and the celebrating crowds in Kabul) with an honorary degree from one of their better universities. >>
