Indian conservatives ...Thank you for your response. Indian conservatives are not conservatives in any sense of the word. They are really reactionaries pretending to be more than that. Fully concur that the consequence is a tailspin instead of the balance you note. We are in a vicious circle, alas, and real conservatives are too few to even yell stop at this awful parade of horriblesPrimary Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140741949208891119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9237907.post-63648252451190146672014-03-09T06:40:05.708-07:002014-03-09T06:40:05.708-07:00Been a long time since I read a thoughtful post on...Been a long time since I read a thoughtful post on conservative thought. But then, are our visible conservatives truly conservative, or opportunists playing to a conservative gallery that does get a tangy kick from questioning norms? The answer is important, because like a human needs spontaneity to head into the new as well as caution to do it with due deliberation - if at all needed, so does a country. Perhaps such a hijack of conservatism leaves us without roots that would keep us secure in our identity. And perhaps that is the additional profit.<br /><br />I am surrounded and up to my ears with conservatives, and I am a natural anarchist. Yet, I see their value as they see mine. It is a symbiosis. New impetus needs stability to take off from, and stability needs enough momentum to keep it balanced.<br /><br />Perhaps this obfuscation of the normalcy of conservatism into something rigid and intolerant does more damage than apparent at first sight. It throws the whole synergy into a tailspin. Vidyuthttp://aamjanata.comnoreply@blogger.com
