Having read this article, what I fail to understand is why Zizek is less in focus than the( 'bad'?) 'people' who brought Zizek to Kochi. Perhaps this would suggest many a hidden subtext unique to the nature and culture of political debates taking place in Kerala. The fourth estate in general seem

In spite of whatever Zizek has said, he hasn't given the rationale of his ranking Gandhi higher in violence. It looks that a comparison between Hitler and Gandhi is ok, both having justified the states' ways of coercing the poorest people to serve the elite without grumbling.. but giving away the
