This piece by Aravind Adiga appeared in yesterday's Times of India Op-Ed.
I will wait for those of you who haven't read it, to march over and read Adiga's thoughts on Kannadigas and Karnataka.
Done?
Now, let's get down to some rumination.
Were you able to draw any parallel between Adiga's article and clarion calls of the fiery Raj Thackeray?
This post is not aimed at the merits/de-merits of the sons of the soil movement.
We are here only to take note and be more aware of the manipulation of public opinion that the Times of India regularly indulges in.
For a group that takes immense pride in its ultra secular credentials, how this piece snaked through the Op-Ed is anybody's guess.
A Cadbury treat to anyone who points out the real reason :-)

Chetan Bhagat is one of the few people who are consistently stupid. At least when they write.
This article in the Sunday TOI proves my point.
Now, Aishwarya's resume reads Actress, and there is absolutely no doubt about her acting skills – they are absent.
So yes, she is wooden, plastic and an ice maiden.
Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan, Dhirubhai Ambani – all rose from the bourgeois. I don't know anyone who is jealous of them.
And, don't even get me started on Shashi Tharoor.
Anyway, this isn't a rant. Stupidity of such an order, on the Op-Ed pages, provides much laughter on weekends.
Go Bhagat Go !
