From Amitabh Bachchan to Gen. Bipin Rawat, from Arundhati Roy to Sri Sri, these unlovely individuals infest every aspect of the luckless nation’s life.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
“Kashmir has never been an integral part of India. It is a historical fact. Even the Indian Government has accepted this.”
When She says this, i don’t think its incorrect to put her in the list.
Who gave you the right to write an article and who approved it to be published? Sick!
Haven’t you made yourself notorious!!!? Next time you write sensibly I will still remember that you came from thrash. Thankfully for u our legal system allows you to get away with such outrageous stuff. Just read through the comments…it’s unanimously against you dude
Why? Because it hurts your precious feelings? Its sad that a large percentage of Indians are too willing to be offended by every small thing however not serious.
I also don’t agree the inclusion of Amitabh Bachchan and Gen Rawat in the list. This man, Tunku Varadrajan, is he some kind of moral locator of humans in India, while he savours the preposterous and swanky American diet in Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Am sure he doesn’t know anything of India and has written something what he heard from some old grandpa’s idyllic siesta deprived squabble.
Tunku bhai, in my native language there is a saying- U can get famous if you build a temple and u can get popular if you throw rubbish at it. (I have actually putting it midestly). I used to ask my mother, why would people throw rubbish when they can do something good. As I grow up, I understand that adult brain is much sluggish to understand this. It is possible to become a human once born one. At the least, use brains. Next time you feel the call to write something, then please give it a read when u are sober. Why is the Print acting as a dustbin. If we collect garbage without knowing how to recycle it and use it for something good, we stink. (No intellectual or standard talks are applicable here. So I have used this informal language.)
Tunku?
Who is this guy?
And who asked him to give his opinions?
If you are in a mood to irritate, why cant you stick to irritating the people at your home? Why do people like you have to come out and irritate the public with unasked UN-valuable opinions.
Arundhati Roy is a good woman. She deserves more attention than she is getting.
Wonder who allows the publishing of such juvenile posts…. pathetic and smacks of ignorance. It’s misleading the nation
Who so ever says that Constitutionally the Army is subordinate to the Civilian Government ???? Indian Constitution is a System of Checks and Balances wherein The Defence Services are NOT supposed to report to the Politicians… its A-Political and The PRESIDENT of INDIA is their SUPREME COMMANDER and NOT the PM or the RM. Its the President’s prerogative to Command the Defence Services NOT the Politicians and it is through the Defence Services that the President keeps a Check on the correct & proper functioning of the Politicians. The Min of Defence is ONLY an Administrative Channel to facilitate the Administrative Requirements of the Defence Services as is the case of the Law Ministry in the JUDICIARY of India…. the PM or the Law Minister have no say in the functioning of the Judiciary…. In fact the functioning and role of the President itself has been subverted in India by selling the idea propagated by this gentleman….. this perspective needs to set right….. come on General do it….
I don’t agree, there is more to all of them n in a riot of colours that is india’s mindscape there is place for you n me n all of them. Definitely the likes of mani shankar, geelani n arnab could tone down a bit as they live in influential spaces n self discipline themselves please
Tunku should have added (his brother ?) Siddharth Vardharajan on this list as a journalist who professes to run an independent publication, but is completely aligned to an ideology that says absolutely nothing is good about Modi or BJP. He is the sophisticated version of Arnab Goswami, but has chosen the escape route of giving away his Indian citizenship and has become an US citizen, so that if going gets tough, he has a Plan B.
Your obsesssion with The Wire and SV never ceases to amaze. “Tunku should have added….” Tunku has the column here not you. If you have a long list of Indians you can do without, publish it in the comments section.
What amazed me is that this kind of article, myopic as it’s view maybe, does not bemoan the fellow Indian to list his own list of ‘people we can do without’. Kudos to the author. Keep writing.
India can do without “theprint” as well. To say that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar doesn’t understand Syria reduces the article and the author to a joke. And for your information, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar did not say that India will become Syria if the dispute isn’t resolved. He said that there will be a Syria-like situation if a court ruling favors any one community over the other. It is common-sense, really.
One will not comment on the names included and excluded from this list. A country as large and diverse as India would surely be incomplete without many who set the teeth of quite a few on edge. However, entirely without malice, it can safely be said that Arnab Goswami is not the most consequential journalist in India. Many colleagues in the profession would wonder whether he still belongs to the tribe.
I want to ask Mr TUNKU VARADARAJAN that and I quote “what’s your height?”. Assuming him to be an average Indian male, He replies “ I am 5’8’’. Me “ I have never seen a pile of shit so high”.
We could also do without such self-righteous commentators from America who love to pontificate on India from their ivory towers It was fun reading the piece though even though I disagreed with some of the names.
Dnt know about them.. but after reading this surely india can do better without media like u.. shame
You are sick! You hv got Arundhati in the list!! Where’s the Print’s editor?

I’m sure he must be losing sleep looking at the comments section. Comments and uninformed opinions matter.
Really? And what qualifies you to decide?? Leave the Big B out of your pretentious little so-called column.

Add your name from 1 to 5. Then the rest. Also I don’t agree with name of Amitabh, Gen Bipin Rawat & Sri sri. Also you forgot Raul vincy, owais

You forgot to mention your paymasters….Raul Vinci, Sonia Maino…Etc…..Sick of you bootlicker type so called columnists
Congratulations, this is the worst article I’ve ever come across.
And Print actually sponsored this. Hilarious!
Tunku?
Who is this guy?
And who asked him to give his opinions?

Arundhati Roy is a good woman. She deserves more attention than she is getting.
You add yourself in to the list Mr Tunku. By the way you need to change your name. It is funny.
Really? Stanford is not giving you enough job?
Fully agree with all the above comments. Wish Shekhar Gupta and The Print be the first first in this list
A grammatically correct commentary with face firmly away from the mirror. Some inclusions like AB, COAS, etc are really surprising
Brilliantly put!
I don’t agree with inclusion of Amitabh Bachchan and Gen Bipin Rawat in the list.
Exactly…talk about vendettas.
And what about you, sir? I think India will go on chugging happily in the absence of one Mr. Tunku Varadarajan.
Well said!
You missed one more person:
Tunku V.

A fantastic read, especially at a time when most journalism is unfunny and agenda-driven.
If you want funny…read Boris Johnson’s column.

Poorly educated bhakts are everywhere nowadays.
Leave the Army and the Chief out of it, and don’t speak in the mannerism of a political party who forgot our Field Marshall.

Please..may i have your autograph?!
Why did you miss the entire RSS Cabal led by NAMO..this list is not even hilarious
Sir, You are too good to be real ! Are you real ?
Nope..he’s a nightmare.
What about Subramanium Swamy? You have missed him in the list.
What about mr Modi Shah Jeitly etc?
We could also do without such self-righteous commentators from America who love to pontificate on India from their ivory towers It was fun reading the piece though even though I disagreed with some of the names.
True
I think India can do well without the Print as well.
No one is forcing you to read.
What About Rahul Gandhi?
What about YOU??!
Add TUNKU VARADARAJAN also in this list
Exactly boss!
Really? And what qualifies you to decide?? Leave the Big B out of your pretentious little so-called column.
