In introducing the Bloomberg article titled “Righteous Hate Returns to India”, available at:
http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-11-09/righteous-hate-returns-to-india?hootPostID=f9cf8a05146c86abffbb24d0b560d02f

Adam Roberts, the India correspondent of The Economist, tweeted:
 
@ARobertsjourno
Pankaj Mishra warns some pols exploiting violence/ religious intolerance for own ends
(Now watch for fulminations)
6:47 PM - 9 Nov 2014
 
The fulminations started very soon after the tweet, and they are available at:

Except that they came from unexpected quarters.
 
Rupa Subramanya @rupasubramanya
@ARobertsjourno You've got to be joking.The fulminations are from PM. And evidently the point of a pc like this is to watch the fulminations
 
--------------------
 
Adam Roberts @ARobertsjourno
@rupasubramanya yes, I suspect he's well aware of the rage he'll provoke
 
--------------------
 
Nanda Kumar S @NandaKumarSasi
@ARobertsjourno No Mr. Roberts. Now people who know Mr. Mishra won't even open the article
 
--------------------
 
Rupa Subramanya @rupasubramanya
@ARobertsjourno That's a low bar for journalistic writing. Crap in someone's mailbox paraphrasing Willy D will also provoke fulminations.
 
--------------------
 
Nanda Kumar S @NandaKumarSasi
@ARobertsjourno Mr. Mishra writes for his western masters. So you are an apt reader. It conforms to your biases! So enjoy!
 
--------------------
 
Sadanand Dhume @dhume
@ARobertsjourno You find this argument reasonable and even-handed?
 
--------------------
 
Vivek Dehejia @vdehejia
@ARobertsjourno Not rage as much as bemusement at this point. Mishra is doing a terrific job shredding his own reputation.  @rupasubramanya

@vdehejia Prof, there is no repercussion for recycling same material over and over again. Cushy job he has! @ARobertsjourno @rupasubramanya

@AtheistHindoo @vdehejia @ARobertsjourno @rupasubramanya sepoys have done a great job in fooling the west.narrative on streets is different

Mihir Sharma @mihirssharma
@dhume @ARobertsjourno reasonable perhaps not - which surprises me not at all, given it is PM. But even-handedness? Not sure what you mean
 
--------------------
 
Sadanand Dhume @dhume
@mihirssharma I mean it as a synonym for balanced, as opposed to somewhat unhinged. @ARobertsjourno
 
--------------------
 
Sabina Y @SabinaYRahman
@dhume @mihirssharma @ARobertsjourno "balance" only in writing pieces we cry over it, outside there is none these days btw
 
--------------------
 
Rahul @RahulxC
@mihirssharma @dhume @ARobertsjourno He mentioned 2002 riots without mentioning Godhra massacre. Perhaps that is the balance Dhume seeks.

@dhume somewhat? Understatement!  @mihirssharma @ARobertsjourno

Lutyenskar @lutyenskar
@vdehejia Well said. About time Pankaj Mishra takes a U turn and joins the Modi camp.  @ARobertsjourno @rupasubramanya
