@unequal_power I had a long running exchange on Twitter where I pointed out that exactly same criteria he uses to “infer” Boses alleged islamophilia wd apply to SPM and Savarkar. I asked him why he never brought up that side of his idol. He had deleted his tweets as I found out yesterday.
@unequal_power Sarvesh carefully ignores the writings or communications of Bose that problematises his thesis, he never ever highlights the acts/statements of SPM/Savarkar in HMS that shows their continuing “blindness” by his own standards. I find it rather insidious and not insightful.
@unequal_power At the end of the day, his statement was he “infers” abt Boses “motivation” - which of course he doesn’t repeat for his idol. He has to infer because he can’t show Bose showed the fundamental criteria to identify a mullah “ally”:
@unequal_power one who knowingly empowers and forwards Islam’s political, social, military and religious agenda towards ultimate Islamic victory over the non Muslim. One who defers and bows to Muslim clerics and honours them or their religious sites/icons wd be an obvious feature for example.
@unequal_power Sarvesh applied his criteria selectively, based on whether the subject is his favourite or hated, and passes of his speculations as truth as if he really could prove he got inside Bose’s head. I understand the sources of appreciation of Sarvesh, but no, I find his claims dubious.
