FTI's idiotic founder Sanjeev Sabhlok

Sanjeev Sabhlok's sudden love affair with Baba Ramdev

Since I have already provided a strong riposte to the kind of  ideological and political rubbish that is spewed by FTI's idiotic founder Sanjeev Sabhlok in the name of Capitalism, freedom and liberty, I will not spend more time in exposing more of  the specifics of Sanjeev Sabhlok's buffoonery.

I long ago realized the futility of engaging in polemic and refutation exercises with a delusive character like him.

I even stopped following the FTI and the antics and acrobatics of Sanjeev Sabhlok till Arvind Iyer mentioned about his visit to India in an email.

I was not wrong in dismissing Sanjeev Sabhlok as a 'Liberal' hypocrite, who has ultimately cosied upto the Hindu sectarian buffoon, Baba Ramdev and is also trying to mend fences with Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)

Let's hear the pathetic and hollow apologies from SanjeevSabhlok about Ramdev:

"Swami Ramdev is merely spreading the best that is found in Indian systems. There is TOTAL integrity in his systems (which are operated entirely by Acharya Balakrishna, who is not a sanyasi but brahmachari)."

"I've satisfied myself entirely that Swami Ramdev is totally above board."

How?? Sanjeev Sabhlok has not cared to explain and has only made a vague promise to publish his findings about Ramdev.

I would have expressed more views about the hypocrisy of Sanjeev Sabhlok and his selfish politics of co-habitation with reactionaries like Baba Ramdev.

But the following comment on his own blog post better sums up the truth and reality of Sanjeev Sabhlok and FTI's political misadventure in India.

sheila says: December 29, 2012 at 10:52 am You say 'sarkar should not do vyapar' but wax eloquent about a 'Sadhu' doing vyapar and also trying to get into 'satta'.

This is a shameful thing that you have done. The Indian tax payer wasted its money sending you for a PhD in Economics. Your mind is medieval and attitudes Manuvadi.

Your English is terrible. So is your Hindi. Sanjeev Sabhlok you are no Economist. No wonder the Australian Govt is keeping an idiot like you on retainer. Shame on you!!!

Shelia would have meant that it  is a wonder that a hack like Sanjeev Sabhlok is kept on the payroll of the Australian Govt. Maybe that was a typo from her.

But she is spot on about Sanjeev Sabhlok having no idea of how economics works and Sanjeev Sabhlok's medieval attitudes and sickening elitist biases. Also Sanjeev Sabhlok is not only a Manuvadi, but also a closet Hindutva sympathizer.
