The Rs. 20-lakh car offer

Every elected member declares his asset, whether he has car or not.

In case they dont have car, let them buy Comfortable Jeeps on Loan from Govt at 1% interest from his own salary, he can take his jeep anywhere but govt will pay only for diesel for this much per month as allowance.

When he/she already has a car declared in his affidavit of election, the govt will pay him the standard depreciation as per Income Tax law at the end of his tenure + Allowance for diesel.

Why to give them car , boss ? It will affect their self -respect.. !

I woke up early this morning. At 3am. Couldn’t sleep so I turned to my iPad for comfort. Tried to watch some shows, but, fortuitously enough, none of the links were working. So I decided to read one of the iBooks in my collection. Great Expectations.
That poor wretched boy, born into that wretched life, so confused, so scared and so hungry all the time… that poor prisoner who escaped into the freezing cold, with chains on his legs and dressed in rags with nothing to keep him warm, no food nor drink…
When it turned light, I looked outside to a beautiful wintry morning sky, able to appreciate its beauty cos I was warm, inside an insulated house, cocooned in a blanket and a cup of hot tea in my hand. Counting my blessings came easy today.

Hope you feel better.

I am becoming this person who is not affected with murder, rapes, kidnappings etc. We wait for murders to our page 1 now, so yes, journalism makes you cynical (and emotionless). As for Indian men, they have some serious anger management issues and they are the reason behind most of our page-ones. The big-bloated ego’s are good-for-nothing.

I sum how wonder, am I doing any good by editing all this **** each day or just getting more cynical each day?

After buying a couple of unreadable books from bookshops in a hurry, just based on blurb and cover without reading some pages, I wish we could randomly open a page of the book and read when buying online. On the other hand I did not have the reviews at my finger tips.

Nooooooooooooooooh, Don’t please.

Well said – Indian leaders and leadership is full of BS – nothing moves em. If India wants to be respected as a Leader it needs to take care of its own dirty laundry. Take lesson from israel and US – clinical attacks are the way forward, provided leaders understand the word “Clinical”

And what when you turn a blind eye toward activities Jihadists aka Pakis? Gandhism will not stand up against rabid dogs. The only solution is to cull them …all

Love for your eye will leave you blind and the other guy with sight. Sounds fun? Take your Gandhian logic somewhere else. Won’t apply these days.

It is the task of the Government to respond. And if you have a Government, consisting of lawyers and politicians with unpatriotic attitude, ridden with Himalayan corruption led by not an original person from the land who would have some nationalistic feelings, this is to be expected. It is a tragedy that such a Govt is ruling for 10 years with the help of corrupt people and parties coming to power by hook or by crook. Still there are parties like SP who believes that organizations like SIMI is not a bad organization. When we have half of the voters BPL, what can a democracy do in this land.

Unless there is regeneration of the nation through intense education including moral and ethical according to the teachings and message of Swami Vivekananda, there is not very much of of a quick improvement of the present situation.

Bull Shit. Tell this to the Americans and Israelis. They will tell you how they got Osama to the hell where he belongs. That is the only language these animals will understand. Grow up you are dealing with barbarians who deserve no mercy.

[Reply]

Not only USA, even China and Israel silently knock off high value enemies in other countries that attack their countries. Chanakya neeti also favours such covert operations; but present day Indian leaders are so timid.

if only some follow what ever you say, then it is the non-violent who would go blind while the rogues will rule the world.

Vir, covert action against who? Pakistan military? Isn’t that a war?

[Reply]

whenever thereis a fight between 2 children in the class they may beat each other, but they will never go ask their parent’s permission for retaliation this is
simple ,let our goverment not complicate matters when pakistan has dared to
kill our fouji naujawan , we shall not keep quite no waiting,,let’s not think of consquence,it is this conquence that is creating fear in our leader’s mind not
prompting for action, enough is enough Pakistan should be taught a bloody
lesson of their life.

Stop all trade with Pak and close the Bagga Border. No more cricket matches with Pak.

Good analysis, Mr. Sanghvi. It is so sad that no humiliation, no matter how severe, stirs our leaders. Even the public would protest for a few days and then get back to focusing on their own interests. Nationalistic fervor is all but dead..woh kehtey hain na..”khoon paani ho gaya hai”. You are absolutely right about them only huffing and puffing..it is really very sad and unfortunate. Some of the comments (here) on using Gandhian approach are the most ridiculous ..they have their heads stuck in sand for the past 6 decades. How many eyes do they have to sacrifice before they become totally blind..more than two? ..there was the parliament attack, several bombings in cities, attack on Akshardhaam, 26/11, and on and on… Kab tak saho ge?

[Reply]

It was an epic failure of India to let Pakistan acquire nuclear weapons. It could have stopped it by hook and crook. I believe the fault lies with so called foreign policy experts. And now that we have been caught between the rock and hard place, we are still playing a defensive game. What is needed is a policy to further break up Pakistan. Obviously it is a country which is created on Hindu hate instead of other factors like nationalism that is common with other countries. So it will be foolish to expect a change in attitude of people from across the border.

[Reply]

This all started in 1989 when 10 lakh kashmiri Hindus were forced to flee the valley their homes burnt so that they can not come back spine less Indian Govt and Indian Army watched and did nothing India will pay a heavy price for this mistake at that time it was ISI strategy

1 make kashmir 100% Muslim area
2 Bring terror to streets of India from Kashmir
3 bleed India to death till it diintegrates

India has been lucky because of 9/11 USA and Nato landed in Afghnistan this kept ISI and Pak army busy now USA is withdrawing means attntion will be on Kashmir now
we Indians ( hindus) are weak and clumsy pakistan is ruthless as a nation they will definitley hurt and bleed India

This is first time Vir Singvi wrote something that makes some sense.

[Reply]

What an immature article , jingoistic to its roots to say the least . In this recent border incident it was first india who killed a pakistani soldier and remember sanghvi, india is not USA

[Reply]

India acted once in 1971 and diveded you in to two it is time for India to act again Balochistan and Khybar pakhtoon are fighting for freedom India will free them

[Reply]

Well said. Thank you for writing this article. What we need is not full scale war but retaliation enough to take out the terrorists hiding withing Pakistan territory. That will silence them enough. Or so called leaders need to see the movie ‘Munich’ and take a lesson.

[Reply]

i remember making a comment when first this new broke out that india is going to act all angry and then that’ll be it, and as you can see nothing happaned…typical indian. btw, i am an indian.

[Reply]

How bout India send its own drones over the border, drop some ordinance and keep quiet about it…. They’ll think its American drones and not bother….

[Reply]

ONLY FULL SCALE WAR CAN ENSURE LONG TERM PEACE.EUROPE HAS NOT GONE ON WAR SINCE 1945.DONOT ALLOW INDIANS TO BE HUMILIATED BY KAYANIS OR HAFIJS ETC.HOW MANY HEADS MUST BE CUT BEFORE INDIAN GOVT REALIZES THEY ARE OUR BOYS.HOW JUMPY WAS SALMAN KHURSHID WHEN HIS WIFE WAS CHARGED WITH SOME CORRUPTION CHARGES BY KEJRIWAL.IT WAS ONLY A CORRUPTION CHARGE.

[Reply]

Wow and this is call a journalism. But will India. Govt. listen as they do not have a balls and when you have mafia and criminals in control of a country, the people will play a price. It’s a shame to be an Indian since indeed we have become a banana republic.

Only Hari Singh Nalwa and Ranjit Singh can kick their a**…….these dhotiwalas have no balls……..Hari Singh conquered Kabul and Ranjit Singh had Lahore as his capital and Jagjit Singh Arora kicked their a** and created Bangladesh…….

O Gandhi Kay chalay……go and preach this to pakis…..

For a butcher class it makes no difference to behead a human or an animal. It took forever to hang 26/11 culprit. That is the state of our country and its politicians who are weak and are only concerned about their “ghotals” and political seat.What will it take for this impotent government to wake up

[Reply]

Best things is to hire someone in Pakistan to end the fugitives in Pakistan. there should be enough persons to do the job or money. It has to be an international tender. If America can do it why not we?

[Reply]

sadly, beheading as a form of adding insult to injury is not unprecedented in the Indo-Pak conflict. In fact old timers would remember the Gurkha regiment as the prime culprits in this regard. I met a Bengali Colonel Saheb who had received a Maha Veer Chakra after he beheaded a couple of Pakistanis. So, rather than lamenting he transgression of the Geneva treaty, we should condider who should be beheaded on their side. The Colonel of the Regiment of the Baloch regiment? The CO of the 29 Baloch battalion? His children? Those would all be valid targets. The only aim would be to inflict severe and unacceptable damage, to prevent recurrence of such an incident.

What is the role of Islam in this?

[Reply]

Very sensible and balanced article by Vir “Radia Gate” Sanghvi for a change. Hes right, no point in empty chestthumping, actions speak louder than words. If we could have our own Seals taking out and beheading Hafiz Saeed, video record it, and later broadcast it. Imagine the message it will send to all enemies of India, including Pakistan. The keyword here is IF….
