Champions of Asia search for pace

Well I don’t follow the intricate details Afghanistan for years but is was a refreshing read. Thoroughly enjoyed reading and specially the line “Generals, who apparently outnumber tanks in the top-heavy British army, have declared every year as the “decisive year” in Afghanistan since 2003″ brought a chuckle .

Halloween’s is non-Christian, more of a pagan festival if you look into Wiki. The original Christians, or the ones who believe in their Saints, or the ones who accept Mother Mary in their worships, do not celebrate Halloween’s as a spiritual event. They celebrate November 2nd of every year to remember the Departed ones, which is known as All Souls’ Day. Halloween is totally American.

Ridiculous article,on one hand it says that corruption will not affect congress in any election but on other hand ,it says that BJP will lose in punjab because of corruption,it’s becoming hard now a days to find a single unbiased article on the BJP, Andhra pradesh is the sole reason for the success of congress at the centre, After the death of YSR,there is dearth of leadership in AP,congress will be decimated here,the so called political pundits will eat a humble pie after the election results.

Congress wins the war on corruption. They made the Lokpal Bill. Whether it is approved or rejected is another story.

Congress leader has filled up the roll of British! British were successful in dividing and rule, took over the whole nation. The congress divide the nation by religion, cast, creed, tribes, and what not and that is very reason they survived. BJP is losing the ground as they are not aggressive enough. Look the debate in the parliament, how congress leaders were acting aggressively, using the privileged of the house they were abusing the opposition in house and out side of the house. Sonia Gandhi was smiling, looking at the debate may be thinking that how her chosen bulldogs are out to grip the bone booty so they stay in her grace!

bjp has lost the bus due to their wavering attitude,they think they are smart,while public is smarter,their indecisive attitude is costing them in image.nobody in country who do not like congress can put their money on a dull horse like bjp.they do not have one pm while there are dozens aspiring.mmsingh and rahul are sure bet,which nobody can deny.beside all policies of bjp are dicy,their followers do not know which direction their party is drifting.their perty states are alice in wonderland.their followes cannot name the cms of these states and where are these states on indian map,all in all things look gloomy,and bjp is in dreams of negative votes for congress which is not going to happen for the simple reason,congress is in power has lot of funds at its disposal and also capable of collecting at last minute which bjp will lack.all in all thing do not seem to be running right for them at the time.they will have to wake up from slumber.

IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT MAHA BRASHAT MAHA CORRUPT CONGRESS HAD UNLEASHED MEDIA BOOTLICKERS TO PUT FORWARD NONSENSE ARTICLES LIKE THIS WHICH TELLS US THAT CORRUPTION CHARGES WILL NOT UNDERMINE VOTES OF CONGRESS BUT BJP VOTES WILL BE DEFINITELY UNDERMINED SO IT WILL LOOSE PUNJAB , UTTARKHAND etc., HOW STRANGE ”’KUTARAK ” CAN BE . CONGRESS , IF IT WINS INSPITE SUCH A MINDBOGGLING CORRUPTION CHARGES INCOMPETENCY ALL ROUND , IT WILL JUST SHOWS HOW MINDBOGGLING FOOLISH OUR VOTERS ARE . IF HISTORY OF VOTES IS SEEN IN RIGHT PERSPECTIVE BY US , HOW CONGRESS CAN WIN AFTER OUR HUMILIATING DEFEAT IN NEFA BECAUSE OF INCOMPETENT HANDLING BY NEHRU OF CHINA BORDER WHERE WE LOST 45,000 Km. OF BORDER AREA TO CHINA , HOW CAN CONGRESS WIN AFTER MORE FOOLISH HANDLING BY NEHRU OF KASHMIR ATTACK BY PAK LED KABAYALIS IN OCT.’1947 RESULTING IN ALMOST HALF OF KASHMIR NAMED ”’AZAD KASHMIR”” TO PAKISTAN , HOW CONGRESS CAN WIN IN MADHYA PARDESH IN FEB.’1985 STATE ELECTION AFTER A DISASTER IN BHOPAL GAS BY MISHANDLING OF GAS LEAK , IN WHICH MORE THAN 20,000 PERSONS PERISHED BECAUSE OF LEAK OF A POISNOUS GAS . IF SHEKHAR GUPTA TALKS OF CONGRESS WIN IN LAST 5 STATE ASSEMBLIES LIKE OF ASSAM etc., THIS IS WHAT WE DEDUCE FROM MEDIA WHO INSTEAD OF ARTICULATING RIGHT PICTURE OF DEMON CONGRESS IS STILL TRYING TO BOOTLICKS THE CONGRESS FOR SOME UNDERHAND BENEFITS BY HT , NBT , TOI etc. FOR THEIR EVER EXPANDING EMPIRE AT THE COST OF COMMON MEN.

What will be the Anna’s effect?

[Reply]

Yes congress will be succesful in Manipur and Goa and that will be the glory.
Congress supporters have already started putting excuses for loss in UP. The fact is that UP is make or break for UPA. if in UP congress doesn’t come at even second position, Rahul’s image will be dented beyong repair. This poll is semifinal for loksabha poll in 2014 and not winning in any major state (UK, Punjab and UP) should make UPA realise that their days are over.

[Reply]

My opinion is that the government actually made an earnest effort in bringing a functional lokpal. However the 2 faced opposition is getting the effort scuttled. Also than, WHY has Anna not spoken a word against BJP for voting against the Lokpal? When Team Anna spoke corruption we trusted you Now that your choosing side’s we feel cheated!!

Actually feel that the article has some very sound analysis to it and in my view absolutely credible!!!!

[Reply]

what do you think now after gov failed miserably in Rajya sabha. We knew congress is not interested in the lokpal thats why they didn’t agree to amend it as per suggestion of other parties. What happened to the spirit of parliamentry democracy?

[Reply]

Im an indian and i hate aussies and black.they are racist *****.i don’t know whether you can call me a racist. but i don’t give a damn.

[Reply]

OWW Mr Metaman , Though i agree with the Thread starter on most accounts . . i seriously see a racist tinge in YOUR so called “Non racist” remarks. Racism in India is of a different type all together. You have to understand the Indian Caste system to understand Indians being Racist. At some long, hell long past point of Indian History Caste System came into being, The word Caste originated from the Portuguese word Castus which means “color” Indian word for it is “VARNA” also meaning the same, COLOR. This system came into being with a view of protecting the Aryan race from being diluted and freaking change due to constant Inter racial forced marriages and breeding.Among Aryans the purest being “brahmins” then “kshatriyas” and then “vaishyas” the fourth sect being the “shudras” who were not Aryans, but prisoners of war rather, probably since the time Modern Aryans established control over Indian subcontinent. This though, might seem outrageous and primitive to most non Indians but just put yourself in our shoes, time travel a few thousand years back and bloody Imagine your Nation,Tribe or race under attack, where your women are being raped by Intruding more powerful or least a rival race that wants to establish it’s control. I guess i do need to elaborate what happens when a nation is captured by a foreign race, still i would elaborate since most posters and the thread starter seems ignorant on this account. Well . . apart from gross genocide, large scale rapes take place which hardly make it to the history books (imagine your children reading about their ancestors being rapes and killed). With India having a history of colonial subjugation don’t you lot find it justified for Indian (Aryan) people to prohibit or influence their new generation to NOT intermarriage with the races that subjugated them in the past (Whites and Arabs, Turks etc) ? Imagine your great grad son or daughter looking no way near how YOU look . . . if i am not OK with it then yes, i am happy and content being called an Indian Racist male.

Now a few Answers to the the Article writer’s questions and allegations :-

1) You, along with all whites being charged more money by shopkeepers, beggars etc is because you are freaking “whites” who are thought to be having hell lot of money than average Indian person(true or not now). They assume you have enough money to spare and also that you have no idea about how much you should pay a product you purchase in India or the amount you should give a beggar. They are by all accounts cheating you lot and not being RACIST.

2) About us thinking, you white girls are easy or lose is not our fault either, blame your Media which has “n” number of movies depicting such a culture.

THUS . . . If a thousand year of subjugation, rape and violence has changed us a to being RACIST (by you lot’s assessment), then hell yes, I am happy that we have. If you go by the word of mouth and not History books which are always written by the victorious, you will discover The slaughter of Indian HINDUS to be many folds greater than that of the JEWS, what happened to the Jews happened in an era when the world was much more global than when HINDU massacre took place.

You’re 100% right. I’m Indian and a quarter German and I live in America and to tell you the truth it all depends on how your parents raise you. My parents just want me to study! As all kids I hated black People first cause they talk weird and intimidated me almost all the time and they barely study and then I made some friends who were black and then I learned my prejudgements are stupid and invalid and not all black people are ghetto even though most are in America. But yah I have at least attempted to make black friends where I live there’s a few of them so I have 2 black friends and the rest 280 of then are white but at least I’m not racist as much as normal Indians. =D

This is the major point to concern. There are so many holes in Indian System. I am completely agree with your point. Our leading organizations have the employees who have educated from such a universities that has no recognition in the world. If our IITs or IIMs passed out are there in this organisation then the face of the India would be something else. Our students are using their talent to serve other countries. If our brilliant mind and talented product live here only, we would not need to export technical things. How to stop these guys that they do not leave their country who has made them in such a position that they are serving others.

Chappell has already been vindicated when he boasted before the Indian tour of Australia that he can demystify the great Indian batting.

If we look at ourselves, we can call Indian as a sub human civilization at best.
Compare Indian population and the Nobel prize winner.
Compare Indian population and Olympics gold medals.
Indian yearly population growth is equal the total population of Australia.

There are so many facts to prove that Chappell is absolutely right.
The problem is not only with what we are taught by parents but it is one aspect of problem. Indian enlightenment never happened and all we gained was due to Western rule. Hindu revivalism also happened due to British rule otherwise Indians would have continued with Sati and child sacrifice.

It is time for Indians to change their mentality if they want to be the actual super power that they dream about.

This is a widespread problem in the subcontinent. I think it emanates from a culture that does not give space to dissent. An authoritarian mindset which focuses on conformity, the straight and narrow approach. Produces boring people, lacking wit.

[Reply]

I dont agree. The british rule prodeced more independent thinkers than independent india. CV raman, Tagore, MK Gandhi, … even Amartya sen was mostly educated in British India’s legacy.

Stop blaming Macauley!!
