Aye at first I thought his writing and speech was wtf, but it's actually not bad. He realises that his work can be indecipherable but he's justified that many times over. If you don't understand him or don't attempt to, then just don't bother watching/reading n leaving dumb comments
You guys are obviously morons. If nothing else, what gives that away is the way you have turned your ignorance and sense of intellectual inferiority and impotence into violence and insult against the guy who doesn't have your problem! Homi Bhabha is a brilliant man, you guys are ignorant bats. The happy fact is that tomorrow you are going to die, disintegrate and disappear, while he, his name and his ideas are going to stay for ages to come.
A brilliant con man. Quite possibly the greatest intellectual scam artist in the academy today. Behind that wall of pretentious nonsense, I can hear the laughter of a stunningly intelligent joker as he cashes his pay cheque at the bank.
The strange thing is how anybody in the audience manages to keep themselves from laughing. All the American students are, no doubt, sitting there, with an attentive expression on their faces, as if they were listening to an intelligent speech. In reality, Bhabha strings together random combinations of pseudo-academic jargo and lingo, maybe occasionally rising to make a meaningful but unfortunately vacuous point.
He sounds like a comedian doing an impression of a comedian doing an impression of an incomprehensible idiot. His fake English accent is hilarious. His brain has turned into post-modernist goo. And all that's left is an indian with an edwardian accent.
Though not sure if it's meaningless I must admit it's seeming less Compelling now that I've been told That Splitting's really really old I thought that it hadn't been 'Till Bhabha came upon the scene I took all his terms of art As proof that he was really smart Which, I guess, you'd have to be To change the world theoretically Not regarding any trifling sociopolitical point But how it's carved, right at the joints

Not for hairs
I can't help but feel that you're being unfairs
I must admit it's seeming less
Compelling now that I've been told
That Splitting's really really old
I thought that it hadn't been
'Till Bhabha came upon the scene
I took all his terms of art
As proof that he was really smart
Which, I guess, you'd have to be
To change the world theoretically
Not regarding any trifling sociopolitical point
But how it's carved, right at the joints
