November 1, 2016 this was exposed "Indian
Intellectuals" also known as "Award
Wapsi Gang" in series of tweets and ; the first tweet was about the
venue where it all started. Let's read that below tweet once again
In the past four decades, Malda turned from a
region producing raw Silk Yarn and mango to a clearing house for opium,
counterfeit currency and illegal arms. According to locals and police
officials, this is primarily because the Left, which ruled West Bengal for
three decades, largely ignored the district, seeing little Political Capital in
expending energy on a cluster of villages loyal to the Congress. “Over the
years, people got lured into producing drugs,” said West Bengal’s Food
Processing Minister Krishnendu Narayan Choudhury.
If nothing, the
Kaliachak attack has jolted awake the TMC Government and impelled Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee to destroy the region’s poppy
plantations. Opium farming is the engine of Malda's Economy.
Now just
replace word "MALDA" with "Indian Internation Center" and
"Indian Habitat Center". In the past 15-20 years, IIC &
IHC turned from a region known for bright Indian thinking brains to a center of
Power Brokers who have no idea of real India but have opinion on every subject.
“Over the years, these so called "Lutyens Mafia" got lured into
political circles & world media” giving opinion opium which happens to
be the engine of Break India group & Congress economy.
Today India International Center is nothing but Malda where Poppy plantation is at full swing and this Opium produced is traded to destabilize Narendra Modi Government.
Let me quote (Copy Paste) here an article written by Shefali Vaidya,
Which I would have titled as
"Ten must have Habits to become part of Lutyens Mafia Member"
1) Every time you come across an article, blog post or anything that has the word ‘Hindu’ in it, describe the post as ‘vile and disgusting’, regardless of the actual context. Express your hatred for Hinduism constantly and diligently, in ways that can be subtle or obvious depending upon the context. However, do not forget to mention in the same breath that you ‘respect’ Hindus.
2) Always ask, ‘But but but, what about 2002?’ in any TV panel discussion, even if the topic of discussion is about the sexual life of the Gorillas of upper Congo. Remember the Golden Rule. All communal riots are equal, but 2002 riots are more equal than others.
3) Write a blog about Modi. Make liberal use of words like ‘vile monster’, ‘butcher’,‘autocrat,’ ‘Nazi,’ ‘Hiter,’ ‘kristalnacht’ and ‘1933’. Attend anti-Modi seminars at the India International Centre and talk passionately about ‘Malnutrition in Gujarat’ over a laden plate of canapés and glasses of free champagne.
4) Occasionally, throw a scrap of carefully constructed praise at the ’tolerant spirit of secular Hindus’ and pander to their egos. This is very essential if you want to present yourself as a ‘liberal humanist’.
5) Learn to do nimble spiritual somersaults depending upon the context. Sometimes, you might refer to yourself as an agnostic, at other times, you can call yourself an atheist, but always mention that you are ‘spiritual, not religious’ – whatever that means!
6) Always shout from the rooftops that you are free from all caste prejudices, but never omit to mention the C word when needed. Carefully used, it can be an invaluable tool in a debate. It is a wonderful divisive technique that can be used again and again to drive a wedge among the Hindus.
8) When all else fails, throw the term ‘fascist communal Sanghi Intolerant Bigoted RSS supporter’ at your opponent’s face. You need not worry about the veracity of the charge. If you throw the term enough times at someone, chances are, it will stick. It is the Goebbels principle.
9) Invest in a suitable wardrobe. If you are a man, crumpled Fabindia Kurtas are a must. A french beard is very helpful. It establishes your ‘intellectual’ credentials automatically, even if your IQ can barely crawl to double digits. If you are a woman, you need to wear handloom sarees in earthy tones with mismatched granny blouses. Also, wear a bindi the size of a soup bowl and drown your eyes in copious amount of kohl. It helps if your hair is liberally streaked with grey.
10) When you find yourself unable to argue logically, and eventually, you WILL come to that point in almost every argument, announce loftily that you cannot talk with ‘rabid Internet Hindus’ because your ‘fragile liberal humanist’ soul is unable to deal with the pain of their ‘communal comments’.

"Indian International Center" & "Intolerance"
Real reason why there was spate of interviews about Intolerance by the artists/writers etc
Eye opener writer and literary critic from Nagercoil I learnt the meaning of “Power” when I visited Delhi in 1994 to receive my Sanskriti Samman Award and stayed for Two Days in India International Centre. I did have some familiarity with Information and Culture Ministries. However, IIC is the place where “Power” is served on a Gold Plate. many star hotels later. But I have never seen anywhere the luxury and comfort of IIC.
An B. Jeyamohan is one of the most influential contemporary, Tamil and Malayalam This is the translation of his article: "Intolerance" IIC is located in a peaceful and Luxurious Bungalow with Lawns, High Class Food and Drinks, quietly moving waiters, the butter English spoken without the upper lip moving, lipsticked women gracefully adjusting their hair, the elegant welcome given to the inner circle members with signs and hugs without making any noise! I have stayed in

IIC was established and funded by the Indian Government as an Independent Body to promote Arts and Free thinking. If my memory serves me right, Dr. Karan Singh was also its Head. I saw him in that evening.
I saw every intellectual that I had known through my reading of English language magazines. U R Ananthamurthy was staying there for almost four years almost as a permanent fixture. Girish Karnad was staying for a few days. Writers, journalists and thinkers such as Pritish Nandi, Makarant Parajpe, Shobha De were seen everywhere in the Centre.
It was true that I was overwhelmed that day. Arunmozhi (my wife) ran to Girish Karnad on spotting him and was thrilled to introduce herself to him. I was told that Nayantara Sehgal used to come there on daily basis to have a drink. I saw her that day too. I realized that the two other individuals who were given the award along with me, Rajdeep Sardesai and Anamika Haksar were regulars there.

They wear rough Kolkata kurtas and
Kolhapuri chappals. Wear small glasses. Women in pure white hair and khadi saris.
One of them, they said, was Kapila Vatsyayan. They said, Pupul Jayakar will
also come. Wherever you turn, there were literary talks and art
discussions.
That pomp kind of unnerved me. The ultra
high intellectualism seen there somewhat alienated me. Venkat Swaminathan, who
saw me the next day, immediately recognized my sense of discomfort. He said,
"Hey, three fourth of this crowd is just a perfect horde of crows (the
Tamil equivalent of psychophants). The snobs that make their living are draw their
power by licking the boots of power centers. Most of them are mere power
brokers. At best you may find one or two artists who you will really respect.
And they can't bear this atmosphere for too long and will just run away.
But these are the people who decide what is culture for this country. They can talk about every thing in the world for one hour in colorful English with the right number of jargons. But on the 61st minute, the color will start fading. Actually they don't know any thing in the real sense. Almost all are like the little boxes we find in attics which held hing a long time back", said Venkat Swaminathan.
Everyone will have four or five trusts in the name of Service Organizations or Cultural Organizations. They will be flying from one conference to the other. Once given accommodation in a government bungalow, they can never be removed from there. In Delhi alone this crowd has illegally occupied about 5,000 bungalows. There is another Power Center similar to this in Delhi which is called the JNU. It is the same story there too.
Can't the government get rid of them?", I asked. He said, "normally governments do not think in that line. Because this crowd has stuck itself from the time of Nehru. They support each other. Even if some IAS officials try, they will fall at the right feet and escape".
"There is one more thing added to it" said Venkat Swaminathan. "Not only were these people just parasites, they also derive great power by showing themselves as progressive leftists. Did you notice it?". I said "Yes" with an amazement.
They are known throughout the world through the numerous seminars they attend. They are highly networked. Journalists around the world seek their opinion on whatever happens in India. They are the people who gave a leftist mask to the Congress Government. If you look at it that way, the amount spent on them is quite low”, he said. They are the trolls sitting on the head of India and nobody can do anything to them. They decide what is art or culture or thought of India.
I have often been to IIC with my Malayalam journalist friends. For them, this is the place to pick rumors and convert them in to news. They know there are no secrets as the day wears out and the spirits rise higher and higher in the head.
But I can only pity those people who engage in to political debates based on the supposedly rare gems of wisdom dished out by these “intellectuals” through the middle pages of English newspapers. These intellectuals never actually know the real politics. They just shout on the basis of the superfluous knowledge and stand points, with the prime space enable by the network. That’s all.
Long time back when I wrote about this Circle, I had mentioned that Barkha Dutt is none but a power broker, my own friends fought with me for degrading a “progressive fighter”. Fortunately for me, within a few days, the brokering she did with Tata leaked out through the Nira Radia tapes. (Incidentally, what happened to that case, does any body know?). But even those stark revelations could not bring down Barkha Dutt from her exalted pedestal even for a month. That is the kind of power they have.
But now, for the first time in the history of independent India someone has dared to touch this power circle. Warnings were circulated at the lower level for the last about 6 months. Last week the Culture Ministry decided to send a notice to them. This, perhaps, is the reason for these intellectuals to suddenly flare up against “intolerance”.

For example, painter Jatin Das, father of actress Nandita Das is occupying a large Government Bungalow at one of the premium locations in Delhi free of cost for many years. Government has sent an eviction notice to him. This is the real reason for Nandita Das strongly speaking about intolerance in television channels and writing in English newspapers (all diligently carried by the network).
Even for a man as strong Modi, I think he has touched a wrong nerve. These elements are too powerful. They can destroy India through the media worldwide. They can create a picture that rivers of blood are flowing in India. They can make businessmen around the world to halt. They can wreck the Tourism Industry. The truth is there is no other Power Center like this in India.
