He just spoke his mind

I have always believed there are two kinds of people. One who can read between the lines and others who pretend they can read between the lines. I am sure I am not the former . But I did come across a write up from someone who I believe is the latter. In my sociology classes, I was taught about one sided accentuation of realities. And in his zeal to 'critique' Bhupendra Chaubey's tweets, that is precisely what the critic did. Now I must confess I am no fan of Mr Chaubey, but just like the critic I found him to be a neutral journalist. But unlike the critic, I did not change my opinion on the basis  of tweets which did not seem to conform to my opinions. For instance this is what Bhupendra Chaubey had to say on Yogi Adityanath's speech in the parliament which I not only found uncivilised but also blunt worthless rant.

Which brings me to what neutrality is. Is it going hammer and tongs at everyone, criticising anything and everything. Or is it being appreciative of everything, defending all and gaining everyone's acceptance. As Max Weber  observed, it is impossible to remain completely immune from your biases. So who is neutral then. If everyone is a prisoner of his biases, then no one can be neutral.Only those who are intentionally biased are the ones who are not neutral. For me, anyone who speaks his mind irrespective of whether he'll be considered biased, irrespective of what his positions in the past would have been, irrespective of what kind of people he has been associated with and most of all irrespective of whether he conforms to my views , is neutral. And that is what I think Bhupendra Chaubey has been.Atleast till now. He just spoke his mind. I hope he continues to do so..
