Just middle class opinions in general. But we can't help being half-baked due to what we consume. To get to the root of any matter one must look for multiple channels of information - half of the time it's opinions masquerading as information. This whole notion of 'one true source' work out aagadhu, except for the readers of 'The Hindu' :-). I think his insights are deeply valuable in many cases being grounded in local concerns and knowledge. About his analysis of Abrahamic religions, I agree - he does a very good job. Again like you say, that doesn't mean one should agree with everything he says. Come to think of it he is quite normal - a complicated cocktail of opinions, prejuidices, etc. It's up to us to filter out the crap. To summarize, (sirippai adakki kollavum), if I were to become the Prime Minister, I might have Gurumurthy as one of my advisors despite severe disagreements with lots of his opinions. :-D Bossu,

That does not mean I support BJP or Sangh Parivar. Adhu vera matter. - As you already acknowledged, his insight on economic issues are pretty original. - More than restricting himself to criticizing everybody which most intellectuals do, he is proposing a framework, however flawed that might be. That takes him a notch above those who indulge in empty criticism.

He once made a very good observation about the rise of previously backward castes in businesses in TN. He travels extensively and many of his views are formed with first hand opinion - not something that you can say about lots of otherlike Cho. But he too often succumbs to the tempatation to be Mr.Know-All, who after brief visits to America can pass irritating snap judgements on lack of family values in the US etc. Like most Madras mamas he suffers from the TON (Tip of the Nose) syndrome - that's about as far his horizon extends. He has been an RSS member for a very long time and his pro-North-indian brahmin prejuidices are clear enough to any reader. While he has carried on a crusade against Reliance, he is uncomfortably close to lots of business groups like the Bajajs, and to politicans like Sharad Pawar. He can talk till the cows go home about agriculture, but he can't get his friend Sharad Pawar to do anything about farmer suicides in Maharashtra. Perhaps therein lies the limitations of people like Gurumurthy. One shouldn't read talking heads with a view to becoming his/her disciple or fanboy. Inga Konjam, Anga Konjam ... our half baked middle class opinions are also like Chaat items. I agree his take on economics is refreshing - he looks at it from a cultural perspective as well.
