Dear Guptaji,

Varsha Bhosle is an acquired taste - it 
acquirable at all :-)

She has a fan following on the Net (as rediff 
loves to tout) that beats all others.
She writes opinion pieces that make you want to 
throttle her - which is a dream opinion writer 
for most newspapers that wish to sell 
advertising.

She evokes strong reactions and - from what 
little I have read of her - she relishes the 
negative reactions that she incites. She uses 
words like 'pinkos' which elude me as to 
meaning. It is very street-level and is probably 
something that someone from any of the  
Bombay or Dilli colleges will be able to tell 
you the meaning of. I would imagine that it 
is a case of 'generation gap' - and this time I
am in your boat :-)

If there is someone that she reminds me of - it is Tunku Varadarajan, http://opinionjournal.com/columnists/tvaradarajan/?id=95001616
who is the 'deputy editorial features editor of 
The Wall Street Journal'. Tunku is at least as 
aggravating - and invites criticism. 

Returning to Varsha, I don't think I have 
anything against her in terms of facts.
She appears to have done her homework. It would
probably take someone with a certain amount of 
free time to research what she is saying - and 
refute her.
