These IIT & IIM degree holders settled in the US often support aggressive Hindutva, hate Muslims, support Trump & Modi, and lord over other Indians in the US.
What many commentators seem to have overlooked the fact that constructing national majorities is no longer just an arithmetical formula consisting of seat-by-seat verdicts.
Modi had promised a leaner bureaucracy under his mantra of ‘minimum government, maximum governance’. Since 2014, vacancies have declined from 1,291 to 782.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Idiotic article! In fact, IITians are one among the very few people who work hard to earn their respect instead of bootlicking like many others. Throwing mud at everyone makes you look like a loser more than anything else. If educated people can’t find opportunities here (Oh! isn’t India a great place to do business?) they have every right to find opportunities elsewhere. No one has time to wait for a good governance
No stats to back the claims. “I estimate” seriously. Please have some sense of responsibility, being a reputed journalist and coming up with shit like this, you should be ashamed. And as Kutta Ketkar pointed out IITians won’t be affected. TCS, Infosys would be most affected
Why not? In a country where cast and creed are the main criteria for speedy career growth irrespective of the financial background, such article doesn’t make any impact. Students with merit will go to NZ, Australia insyesd. Who csn stop? Politics will keep Indian economy in “developing” stage for next 100 yeats.
May be point of view put here by Mr Ketkar is reflected in attitude of some of the NRI’s, which I think are member of same society who supports rhetoric of Hindu Muslim,Ram mandir, Reservation or Kashmir issue back in India. Being an upper caste NRI and having opportunity to interact with lots of NRIs, I have felt, baises about the fore said issues are not because they have become NRI, rather it is something they have carried along before they became NRI. Interestingly painting NRI’s as Modi and Trump supporters is similar of calling likes of Mr Ketakar a congress supporter. You can not judge political inclinations of some one by mere fact of “if someone has attended a particular seminar or rally”. Importantly I feel NRI’s are more informed, specially H1B visa types, than an “average intellectual” back home. They certainly have a better sense of politics of India and around the world. You need not have to prove that you are a liberal, who in desperate time can support a right winger. And not all NRI’s are fan of Modi.
Very responsible statement from an NRI: All Hindu upper-caste NRIs are Modi fan.And No They don’t carry it from back-home.The NRIS who have been settled in US/Canada for 40 years are more strong Modi Supporters.
Based on your assumption, I can safely say, it is your notion talking. Those who know me personally, know how big I am a Modi fan. Hence, your statement “All Hindu upper-caste NRIs are Modi fan” fall in the same category of biases as of Mr. Ketkar. (without any empirical evidence).
” All Hindu upper-caste NRIs are Modi fan. ” … this is the exact sweeping generalization that Sansidha was talking about
The number of generalised attributions to IIT and IIM grads this article makes, without presenting even one shred of evidence, is just mind boggling!!!
Thats what the new journalism is all about.. especially the ‘Gandhi Family’ dynasty c**k suckers ** .. no need to present any sort of evidence .. just keep throwing mud and tarnish name of the people .. for them, supporting Trump or Modi is in itself a crime.. he is talking there are no muslims in IITs/IIMs .. I am pretty sure he wanted to add “anti Dalit” there.. but there are just way too many Dalit students in IITs to add “anti Dalit” which will be glaringly obvious in this “tarnish” journalism.. this guy is a Gandhi family psychopant since eons and enjoyed all the Lutyens Delhi Benefits & Comforts that comes from being in Gandhi family good looks .. and he hates people who is trying to make on their own without sucking up to Congressi First family.. and this guy is the same guy who keeps talking fake news, twisted narratives and “all media” being pro modi whereas almost all the news ( print and video) media with exception of Zee news is anti Modi .. this guy and Vinod Dua deserve special praise in twisting narratives, tarnish journalism, sweeping generalizations and “Pot calling Kettle black ” cribbing

I feel that people coming to US from second or third tier colleges are more aggressive right wing than NRIs coming from top colleges.
then i read the name of author..

one request Karthik .. stop calling him “reputed” journalist.. he is a most abusive and disreputed journalist
No IITians will be affected by this particular move, in fact the ones most affected are Infosys employees
