His comment comes at a time when the feminist movement in Pakistan has been gathering a lot of steam, and also ridicule from right-wing factions of society.

To quote the article,”So, those who do not want to allow people to revise their stand are unreasonable and illiberal, at least in this context.”
Rupa Subramanya’s piece is literally titled “I’m not the one who changed”. Nowhere in her article does she “revise” an iota of her (mostly unfounded and vituperative) opinions. Terrible lack of research on this author’s part.
I don’t know what is left and what’s makes us right.we are only the people in this world ; who have opinion and opinion makers.everything every time can’t be imposed on others.socalled liberals must have patience to listen and ponder over the others view also.
Never think that u only have all the wisdom of this universe.
I do think Apoorvanand has misread Shekhar Gupta’s article. Shekhar Gupta was warning Liberals not to believe their own slogans and their arguments shouted out within their own echo chambers. He was trying to get the self satisfied smirk off their faces. For the liberals might not realize it, but a significant minority of Indians have very different opinions from them, and to call these Indians names would be counterproductive. For it needs this same significant minority to ally with a few other groups to elect Modi back.
Why do I say that? For example, look at his asking the question regarding the Hindu Liberation theology. I presume he means the marriage of Hindu Theology and Marxist thought. But haven’t our myriad religious leaders – from Buddha to Nanak to Basava to Kabir do that in their own idiom and their own language. In fact, this hankering for a western model of thought is the very essence of the revolt of common Indians against Indian Liberalism!
Oh, Come on. When someone points the mirror at you, the so called liberals can’t take it. So much for liberalism, they can’t accept constructive criticism from people among their rank. Generally I disagree with Mr Gupta but he has a valid point here and it’s true whatever he said in that article. Liberals should learn to be ‘ liberals ‘ first and then sermonize
