I’ve nominated Popagandhi for Indiblog of the Year.
Yes, Indiblog of the Year is hardly a huge honour for someone who’s nominated for Best Asian Blog at the Bloggies. Yes, she is Chinese by ethnicity and Singaporean by nationality. And she does not live in India. On the other hand, she’s more Indian than most Indians, and writes better about traveling in India than most Indians I’ve seen.
If she is not nominated to the final list, I will take it as proof of the disgusting racist and homophobic mentality of the jurors. And their hypocrisy too. After all they are the ones who complain on their blogs about Indians being racist and hostile to representation.
It is in your power to prevent this happening. Lobby the jurors and demand that they vote for Popagandhi. Mail Confused and Shivam and ask them if they are ready to put their ballot where their blogposts are. Threaten to burn Patrix’s effigy if he does not push Popagandhi up the lists. Or if you want to go Gandhigiri style and send Neha roses, you can do that too. The important point is that Popagandhi wins.
For great justice!
Why no roses for me? 😛
Frankly, I have never seen this blog before-will look into it.
“She”?
You’ve ignored the sexism, you patriarchal pig.
Well changing the rules is a lengthy process and needs all kinds of permission and licenses from various authorities. OTOH for a decent bride (to the organizer) rules could be bent like Beckham 😉
I spit on the filthy license permit regime. Twenty tons of washed silk shall land up at the authorities’ house tomorrow.
Please send a picture of my effigy being burnt. I would like to put that on my resume 🙂
Debashishda,

What will bhabijee think!
Hi Aadisht, she may or may not have been nominated (what contest was that again?), but I have added her to my blogroll. Thanks for a great link!
