For me, his artificial accent and almost Gora attire is funny. I am surprised that he is taken seriously.
Dont want to go OT. But check the lineage of Karan Thapar. Cant get any more shitty then this:
Remember the brutal Jaliyanwallah Bagh massacre, the monstrous act of General Dyer? Even the arch-imperialist Winston Churchill condemned it as a “monstrous event, an event which stood in singular and sinister isolation”. But, General Dyer and Michael O’Dwyer (who was subsequently shot by Udham Singh) had admirers in Bharat as well. The prominent name in the list was none other than Dewan Bahadur Kunj Behari Thapar of Lahore.
Karan Thapar belongs to the Thapar clan, which was among the elite of undivided Punjab and then New Delhi, with connections to the Nehru-Gandhi family for decades. Karan Thapar’s paternal grandfather was Diwan Bahadur Kunj Behari Thapar. He belonged to a section of the Punjabi elite that came into new wealth as commission agents for the colonial British Indian Army.
Kunj Behari Thapar was also one of four people, including Umar Hayat Khan, Chaudhary Gajjan Singh and Rai Bahadur Lal Chand, who donated Rs 1.75 lakh to the fund of Punjab governor Sir Michael O’Dwyer — the man who backed the actions of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. For his loyalty to the British, Karan Thapar’s grand father, Kunj Behari Thapar was also awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1920.
Karan Thapar’s mother is Bimla Bashiram, sister of Gautam Sahgal, whose wife Nayantara Sahgal was the daughter of Vijayalakshmi Pandit and niece of Jawaharlal Nehru. Thus, Karan Thapar’s aunt is Nayantara Sahgal (now infamous for being the first of the award wapsi gang). Nayantara Sahgal got divorced from Gautam Sahgal in 1967. But the relations between the Thapar family and the Nehru dynasty still remains strong today.
Due to the family connection, Chacha Nehru, against advice by General Thimaya, promoted Karan Thapar’s father, General Pran Nath Thapar as Chief of Army Staff of the Indian Army ahead of two generals that were senior to him. Thapar took over in 1961 and served until 19 November 1962. He was the only Indian Army chief in history to lose a war, against China in 1962, forcing him to resign in disgrace in November that year. Anyone that was disgraced in such a fashion would have been relegated to the dustbin of history. However, due to his Nehru family connection, he was allowed to serve as the Indian ambassador to Afghanistan from 1964 until 1969.
Karan Thapar’s cousin, Romila_Thapar worked as Professor of Ancient Indian History at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Known for her extreme left-leaning views, she has derided Hinduism at every given opportunity under the premise of “exposing ancient truths”. She is an advocate of whitewashing the horrors of Islamic invasions and the Mughal rule in India. She proposed to dismiss the fact that India had a Golden age has always downplayed the achievements of the great Indian kingdoms: Maurya, Gupta, Chalukya, Rashtrakutas, Cholas, Chandelas, Vijayanagar kingdoms, etc as they hurt her disgust for anything that can give rise to national pride in Indians. She wants to de-emphasize such portions of history in the name of opposing Hindutva etc, as if she is some kind of final judgment on what is counted as history and what is not.
Karan Thapar’s other cousin, Romesh Thapar (born in Lahore) was a famous loony liberal writer and commentator and belonged to the Communist party of India. As is typical of Indian communists, he lived a comfortable life in his upmarket flat (in the Breach Candy neighborhood in Mumbai), but churned out pages and pages of communist material for magazines. Always proud of calling himself a friend of freedom, he vigorously applauded the discipline and efficiency of family chum Indira Gandhi’s emergency period of dictatorship and appreciated that many communist agendas, such as forcible and irreversible birth control operations to limit population growth, were enforced. He died in 1987.
Karan Thapar was a classmate of Benazir Bhutto at Oxford University and maintained very cordial relations with her until her death and still maintains a close relationship with her husband, Asif Ali Zardari.
In 2017, Karan Thapar wrote an article named "The mysterious of Mr. Jadhav" in regard to death sentence given to Mr Kulbhushan Yadav, an alleged Indian spy who was imprisoned in Pakistan. This article embarrassed India Internationally. But Mr. Thapar, a self-serving, life-long admirer of Pakistan has never been one to shy away from embarrassing India in any way he can so as to build up his profile as a great Jeremy Paxman-like figure.
Karan Thapar is just another sickular icon from a typical loony liberal family, whose members have all succeeded and lived a life of luxury thanks to their family connections.
