Native justice



The people of India have once again demonstrated their native wisdom in the recently concluded elections to five state assemblies. The DMK and the Left parties have been roundly defeated in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.

The Congress has won in Assam and Kerala while being ousted in Puducherry by a party rebel who teamed up with Jayalalithaa.

Now look at the balance the electorate struck by rewarding development and good administration while unequivocally rejecting sleaze and insensitive governance. If rampant corruption and family autocracy cost Karunanidhi his job, Tarun Gogoi’s hat trick was a trophy for running an efficient and inclusive albeit somewhat corrupt regime.

Puducherry’s Rangaswamy marginalized his mother party because he’s the people’s man— strong, upright and incorruptible. A CM next-door who has breakfast, lunch and dinner served to him by his electorate. They are his kin for he’s a bachelor without a family of his own.

Identical antecedents helped V S Achutanandan take the CPM-led LDF tantalizingly close to victory. In the end, the Marxists, who started as underdogs as the party in power in the state known for discarding incumbents, saved face if not the government in Kerala. It also meant that the verdict wasn’t unequivocal for the Congress in the 100% literate State where corruption swung votes besides a Hindu backlash against the UDF that had the Muslim League as a major stakeholder.

But the electoral takeaway that mattered the most in my perception was that the Left was battered but not blown off the political scene. Communist interventions on policy issues have always helped. One can disagree with them. But one cannot ignore what they say, be it probity in public life, foreign policy, economic reforms, agrarian questions and social issues.

The Left in fact is more richly endowed ideologically than the Congress to fight the religious right wing. West Bengal is a state divided by the Partition. But it has an unmatched record of communal harmony under the Left’s rule spanning three decades. Other states pale in comparison.

A stint in the Opposition would afford the Left, notably the CPI-M, time to reflect on its failures rooted in organizational aberrations and the leadership’s refusal to keep pace with the aspirations of a youthful India. Left now with only Tripura, they might have to wait longer to regain power in Bengal. But that isn’t so in Kerala where some quick correctives can return them earlier than expected —- maybe ever before the precariously placed UDF completes the assigned five years.

The results have also denied Prime Minister Manmohan Singh the excuse he had for failing to act on time against the DMK’s A Raja. The voters have right-sized the Dravidian party, affording the PM the chance to take sleaze balls to the cleaners. If he doesn’t, he’d be seen as complicit.

    Mamata’s magic worked wonders in West Bengal.

    But what was that magic,really?

    Was it Singur that really decided the fate of Communist’s rule ? Can it the most singular factor that really threw communists out ?

    Rallies have come and gone. But they have not impacted the whole populace so much that a Govt. of 34 years could be overthrown just like that !

    What really convinced the people of West Bengal that Mamata could really deliver a different West Bengal?

    I am not convinced that Mamata even has a good team that can deliver a brilliant governance.

    People could not really be blind to all these inadequecies ?

    Or, Mamata’s brand equity really soared when Ratan Tata had to leave Singur after his face off with Mamata ?

    That suddenly she started looking invincible?

    What was that magic potion Mamata prepared in a jiffy?

    There is no doubt that Ratan TaTa would have brought development, prosperity and a few thousand jobs to West Bengal.

    But what Mamta was offering was a promise to and some record of standing up for the small man.

    That, in my view, is what won Mamta the elections.

    I am genuinely confused about the Land acquisition act . Allowing a factory to be set up in place of farms- the govt says- we have given compensation. Who decides if it is enough? How much is enough? A farmer who has 30 acres- how much does he earn by farming and how much by way of selling the land and employment in the factory.
    Does anyone know ? And yet ppl die in the violence that followed- is anyone agitating for this law to be amended and updated. Last week ppl died in NOIDA.

    There is definitely an economic valuation system that defines the value of land to be taken over.

    Earlier a proper survey was done, barren and unproductive land was identified for industrialisation.

    And it was done more of consensual approach.

    The farmers knew it was a barren land. They also hoped to benefit from the industrialisation.

    So there was less of problem.

    I guess it all started after Mukesh Ambani began his huge SEZ in Haryana.

    Hold your breath.

    It was not Mukesh Ambani’s that started this problem.

    Mukesh had a great plan for Janjhar. He submitted a detailed plan and got the Govt. acquire land for SEZ.

    The problem started when others decided to become Mukesh Ambani overnight.

    People colluding with political masters quickly drafted shoddy land acquisition policies and blindly started acquiring lands.

    Infact, I was surprised to see so many plans for SEZ came up within one week’s time as if people have been planning for years.

    But that’s not true.

    Everybody thought SEZ to be the next gold rush.

    So there was a blind mad rush.

    Then bribing low level officials and getting favorable report about which tranch of land could be acquired was not difficult at all. The political bosses relied on these reports. They were also enamoured by the big investment that was supposed to flow into their states. So everybody joined the great barat for that piece of fun and great SEZ gold rush.

    So for all this mess, though we tend to blame the big politicians, I guess it was the greedy entrepreneurs and unscrupulous Govt. officials, local political leaders were the real culprits.

    If the big political parties are getting flak for this, then they deserve that too.

    Now, the other side too is getting greedy.

    The farmers swayed by the local politicians are joining these agitations, because they think it’s a good proposition to agitate for for few days and get a better bargain. The local leaders make money for both creating agitation and then trying to negotiate and help subside the agitation. This is like DDA Junior Engineers in Delhi making money first allowing the illegal construction and then make more money by threatening to demolish the illegal constructions.

    So your argument -” who decides how much compensation is right ?” is based more on sentimental reasons.

    Earlier, the Govt. used to do a proper survey and look for barren, unproductive land before taking over.

    Now, that everybody wants to become billionaire and launch great IPO’s, the reports are manufactured in 5 star A/C rooms by consultants while bureaucrats wine and dine at the businessman’s courtesy.

    Then “arti” is sent to the political bosses to sign the file.

    We are a great “jugad” country. We think we are the only smart people to manipulate the system. We don’t realise there are thousands who are also trying to manipulate the system. So suddenly it was happening in all states!

    And now it has become a National issue.

    Exactly – and the people of West Bengal have given a fitting reply to the CPM – and now is the turn of the UPians to teach a lesson to the BSP.
    However, when it comes to endowment lands, especially the Wakf lands of Andhra Pradesh, the Congress and the corrupt MIM over there have divided 55000 crores of land amongst their politicians to the detriment of endowment and purposes of public good. That is why Jagan Mohan Reddy was able to win with a mind-blowing majority in Cuddapah – the Cong & TDP candidates lost their deposits over there. So, when the Congress holds another election in AP next time, it is sure to lose – and there goes the dream of annointing Rahul Gandhi as the next PM.

    In India, our leaders surprise us. Modi, the one with a possible stain of post Godhra riots hanging over him, delivers on governance. Who wrote that script?
    Chandra babu Naidu, who was 10 years ago the IT savvy darling CM of all, who was going to give H’bad preeminence over B’lore, forgot about the farmers, till the souls of the thousands of suicidal farmers, destroyed him at the box office.
    Mamta, Jaya- again my gut feeling says will be hopeless- may well surprise us, but I am not holding my breath.
    Communists ensured no communal riots in 30 years, but I would say that their religion also indirectly gave birth to the naxalites, and their violence could well be described as a riot of sorts.

    I have lived in Bengal for a long time, at some point of my life. CPM has been strong in rural areas, farmers and among minorities but used to lose electione consistently in urban areas. Even when communits won 80% of the seats, there vote share was like 55% and TC/Congress at about 45%.

    Mamata Bannerjee, cultivated and broke into the CPM vote bank among farmers and Muslims.

    Now communists are known in Bengal for their arrogance and corruption, which normally increases with every year you are in power. This time, there was no splitting of votes between Congress and Trinamool Congress. In fact, If BJP had not fielded its candidates, the communists would have won about 20 seats, instead of the 50 they won.

    Mamota Bannerjee, has also won over some converts by her personal austerity, determination and courage. She lives in a small 2 room house , without a proper roof. She takes care of her aged mother and even when she was railway minister, she refused official residence and continued to live in her cramped house. As chief minister too, she is going to refuse official residence and would continue to work from her 2 room accomodation under a large tree.

    It remains to be seen , what quality of governance she gives WB, where people have high hopes and deserve better than the propogandist, self-righteous communists.

The rich and the influential don’t as they are any way ingratiated with the powers that be. The effort should be to clean the political system, to make it more accountable, rather than reject it lock, stock and barrel.

    Mrs Jayalalitha is a good administrator and she will dow ell for Tamil Nadu. she will hound the Karunanidhis, and take the state to higher levels of economic development ( with all his corruption, Karunanidhi fostered a good central-state-private collaboration).

    Had the Marxists organized slightly better, the Marxists under the leadership of Achuthanandan would have won in Kerala. Youngsters were captivated by his simple, austere lifestyle as well as Mr clean image. They lost many seats only by 200 and 300 votes. Rahul Gandhi ridiculed his age, to which he coined Rahul’s “amul babies” for the candidates hand picked by him. Most of his Amul babies he selected for Kerala,, Tamil NAdu, West Bngal lost the election.

    Jagan reddy won Cudappa byelection by a majority of 5 lakks. The congress party lost iys deposit. In this particular case, Congress is better thamn Jagan. Jagan is a corrupt sob who will sell the country. Andhra is for a rude shock – he will destroy Congress and the State there.

    Mamta may do well for West Bengal. She will bring an inclusive development. Austere lifestyle in itself need not necessarily translate into a good government, but it is apowerful attracter of committed and idealistic youngsters,a s Anna , Achuthanadan etc have shown. There is a yearning in the country for clean leaders, let us hope Mamta will do well for the Bengalis. She will have to be pragmatic; industrialists like Tata are not evil, and will be willing to work with her to bring high paying jobs

    Rather than moving to centre, I think the political parties (may be except India) are moving to extreme positions, both on economics and social aspects. The anti Burquah etc (which i think is good legislation) movemnets in Western liberal political parties, the anti-bailout stand of merkel and german parties, the ascendency of extreme right (tea party) in US republican party, the rightward movement by Cameron cutting off state schemes etc indicate a polarised extreme left/extreme right scenario. In this world, may be India has a higher growth opportunity by parties following a centrist, maximum people benefit strategy. West bengal does not have anywhere else to go except up (Marxists have screwed that place royally), Tamil Nadu will continue its economic and industrial progress (Tamil Nadus growth is not widely discussed like Gujrats, in mamny economic metrics Tamil Nadu is significantly better than Gujrat), and the governments in other states (and centre) are sufficiently worried that they will pursue developmental oriented policies and not micky mouse appeasing policies.

    Also it is the safest state for working women , and corruption is far far less than in tamilnadu, and there have not been a major riot in30 yrs.

    Don’t get two swept away with this austerity thing of Mamata. Before this Lalu Yadav kept harping that he lived in a chaprasi’s quarters. but in the end made money in fodder and railways and governed like a moron, putting Bihar behind each state of India. his so called successes in the Railways too was a self blown trumpet.

    THe plus point with Mamta is that she is unmarried and won’t foist a dynasty culure something which Chacha Nehru started and most politcal parties– except BJP and communists — follow. :D

    Now I am sure, Prabhat and Vinodji will furnish a list of BJP MP’s who foisted their children into politics. But then they would never be able to match it with parties like Congress, DMK, Samajwadi, RLD, Biju JD, Chautala etc etc– parties which are basically promoting fuedal dynasites who believe that it is their inherited right to promote single families. :D

    Hope mamta grabs this opportunity. Her perfomance as the rail Ministry has been bad. Except for painting the exterior of the trains in a manner which would mostly delight the aestheticlly challenged, she has little to show.

    Maybe she has to revise her economics. Shee needs capital and not Das Capital. She needs to call in all industrialists and create a huge program for employment. Like I explained ealrier, the West Bengal i saw had mostly very small landholdings. just an acre per person or so. ZMust have gone worse now. You cant grow food surplus on this beyond your own need. and you can’t make a living out of it.

    Maybe she needs to remember that Narendra Modi stole the nano from her Bengal :D

    Learn from him. And also close down the border. Alrady WB is full of bangladeshis. Either Bangladesh should merge with India or close its borders.

    Landholdings in Bengal – an acre per person ! You are mistaken. It would be 1/8th or even 1/16 acre a person.

    Only good thing about Bengal is that people in general are not very demanding. They are usually happy and live within their means. Give them Rabindra Sangeet, Football and Politics to discuss, they don’t need anything else to live for the day.

    Work ? A big no no.

    During communist days, most of the industries moved out and settled down in Gaziabad-Sahibabad belt.

    If Mamata can swing the new generation and create a new work culture in the state, then the industrialisation effort may pick up.

Also his arrogance was breathtaking,all he needed was go ahead with his factory which was fully built. The contentious bit had nothing to do with TATA directly. It was meant to be a hub for suppliers of components for the car. Mamata had offered an alternate site only 15 minutes away, but no for that parsee , who probably cannot speak a single word of hindi, never watched a hindi movie or listened to hindi songs only that patch will do.The sodding farmers can stuff it. He should have been reminded, that the site where TISCO stands today was suggested by a bengali geologist ,for its iron ore.

    Dear Vinod Sharma ji

    First you must be complimented for analysing very clinically and impartially the recent election results of five states. In Kerala, even in defeat, the former CM has made LDF as the winner. A slender majority of one seat is so fragile that you never know when the arithmatic changes during the term of the assembly. The loss in Puducherry is clear indication of the GOP being arrogant with the people at the grass root level. The loss of DMK is no surprise. I am sure corruption or no corruption, the AIDMK had to replace DMK as a matter of convention, which is being watched from the last many elections when neither DMK or AIDMK had consecutive victories at polls.
    Well, I am not surprised at the loss of communists in W. Bengal. Besides other political reasons,there must have been a fatigue factor with the comrades after 34 years of continuous rule. They needed a pause to reflect on their policies. May be this pause help them to regroup and become wiser with times.
    Yes. Assam like MP, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh has won because of clean governance. and all round development.
    You wouldd agree that Mr. Rahul Gandhi proved a damp squib and non performer in these elections. His jibes at Kerala CM of being overage has indeed boomeranged on him. The same logic could have been applied to our PM as well as to the former CM of TN. At least he has earned the permanent nickname of Amul Baby in return. He proved a disaster in Bihar and now in Kerala. I hope the GOP reviews its approach towards Jaganmohan Reddy if it is to survive in AP and the results of Puducherry are not repeated in AP.
    Is n’t it an irony that the congress party which used to rule BIhar, TN and W. Bengal on its own majority has been decimated in these states and has to depend on the generosity of regional
    parties in these states? The Amul Baby may not be able to deliver as hyped by the media and the party
    Well, this review of the election results come from an ordinary common man like me and is quite representative of the views of academicians and professionals which I often interact with.
    Any comments!!!

    ~~~ :D :D ~!~ WHY CPM HAD TO LOSE– GOOD RIDDANCE ~ ! ~ :D :D ~~~

    In the late ninties, when I spent a few months in Kolkatta, I used to be perplexed. As a Punjabi from Delhi, I would find it strange that while most Bengalis I met were so eloqount, so talented and creative and yet the piles of rubbish on the roads, and the lack of economic opportunity for the youth told a different story.

    And then slowly I figured out. West Bengal was a full joint family in which the patriach was the stern looking Jyoti Basu !! :D And most people in this family were convinced that there are larger global forces of exploitation who have plotted to keep the people of the third world chained to poverty…

    There was always talk of Chandan Basu and friends netting huge contracts thru the family network. I would find it strange that the CPM bosses always advised all the youth of the country to shun capitalism, yet their own children followed free enterprise and crony capitalism…

    Well life was not bad in Calcutta if you had money in your pocket. Puja shuja, rangmanch etc etc. You could even talk to and date girls without their brothers and fathers wanting to shoot you :D

    But since so many poor people were hanging around everywhere, you always felt that something was SURELY VERY WRONG… Unfortunately the international press too had somehow tarred Calcutta as the city of slums.

    Moving out of the city with Bengali friends, I was always told that the land reforms program of the Left front had ensured that nobody was poor. Was it true? But it was fairly obvious that the CPM had little to offer besides land reforms. Nothing to educated youth who migrated to Delhi, Mumbai and rest of India.

    AND THAT IS WHAT HAS CRUCIFIED CPM FINALLY. NObody believes thier claptrap of global exploitation. Thier joint family patriach is dead. The youth of Bengal have seen Bengalaru speed past Bengal…. :D

What comes across in all these encounters is the Tatas love for India and thier basic living, certainly of JRD and his Dad. beta thodey badey ho jao phir badi baatein karna.

    I think an interesting dimension is developing in the political scene. It is good, as well as bad. Looks like each state is deciding what is the ebst for it – regional party, congress, BJP etc – and mostly regional parties are winning. Regional parties know the issues much better, candidates are not imposed from “New Delhi”, and people more and more identify with the local/regional parties. This may also sharpen the states rights vs centre’s rights and responsibilities.

    Congress and BJP will have to rethink their roles. They will have to focus on the centre, with a coalition of regional parties. Looks like no single party on its own can win the centre any more. Congress thinks it can! The right strategy for BJP will be to identify centre right regional parties, develop electoral plans early on, and contest parliament as a coalition of centre right parties. Rahul Gandhi is a nobody, hence all the more the need for a well-respected leader to lead BJP. They may want to draft a non-politician like Dr Abdul Kalam.

    1. I think one should not read too much into Jagan Reddy’s victory, Cuddapah being the family bastion. Of course, he may cause some problems for the Congress, but he may not hold sway over whole of Andhra Pradesh.

    2. Regarding 2014 elections, first they are three years away and that is a very long time in politics.

    Second, people would like to know what are the alternatives.

    The experiments in the past with the third front have been a disaster and the people are aware of it, it is a dead idea.

    That leaves the NDA, with certain critical mass in numbers, but way off the magic number of 273. How does it get there? For years political commentators have been suggesting to the BJP to put its house in order, but the problem is that the BJP has been deaf (or rather chosen to be so) to these well meaning homilies. The suggestions and the reasons as to why BJP does not wish to listen are too well known to be repeated here.

    Currently, the only silver lining I see in the BJP is Sushma Swaraj. To me it seems, that she has realised that the politics of confrontation for the sake of it does not pay dividends. The question is how many others in the BJP feel the same way. Though, I may be wrong on this.count .

    (Dr.) B.N.Anand Reply:

    Hello Mr. Vijay Kumar

    Yes, Dawood’s brother lives in Mumbai and like the fugitive on the most wanted list submitted to Pakistan has been found by a journalist(TOI) to be living in Thane (Mumbai). He has been on bail for a long time and no trial even when a charge sheet has been submitted against him in the court. A big embarrassment for the country. While we are hunting him in Pakistan , he is living in Thane.
    So we should not be surprised if one fine day we find that Dawood has been found living in Mumbai too. Like OBL had been living in Pakistan and US was hunting for him in Afghanistan.

    Such blunders not only bring big embarrassment to the people of the country but also expose the incompetency of our security system.. But is Mr. Chidambram bothered? I fear not when he says that he did not draw the list of the most wanted people submitted to Pakistan.

    Glamourisation of wealth is not limited to Brahmins. It’s across the board.

    Domination of Brahmins for a long time led to rise of lower caste in TN and Bihar.

    Upper caste acquired high positions in society because of their early education. Once the lower caste children have access to education, they will also come up in life. It may take some time, but it will happen.

    The society is aware of this disparity and efforts are already on to bring people in lower strata up.

    I always tell people around me to be a doer. Prove instead of cribbing.

    A peon who started with me Rs 400/ pm as salary, today earns more than Rs35,000/- a month elsewhere. That’s what simple empowerment can do to the people.

    There are many people who would vouch for the transformation in their lives because of similar empowerment.

    Jinnah’s brand of politics is emerging again in India especially Assam and Kerala…Get ready for few more Islamic separatist movements in next decade…

    http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Muslims-voting-along-community-lines-worrying/articleshow/8404114.cms
    NEW DELHI: With Muslims polarizing in favour of religious outfits in Assam and Kerala elections, a key author of Sachar report has sounded the alarm that mainstream parties have to step in to check the “unfortunate” trend.

    The community’s gravitation towards Badruddin Ajmal’s All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in Assam and Muslim League in Kerala was so complete that the parties notched up their highest tallies, emerging key players in state assemblies. All India United Democratic Front is even eyeing the lead opposition’s slot.

    Abusaleh Shariff, who was part of the Sachar panel which ranked Muslims at par with dalits in backwardness, called the electoral development “unfortunate”. He said the community veered towards religious parties owing to lack of representation in mainstream platforms. “This makes them vulnerable to religious rhetoric,” he said.

    The Muslims-for-Muslim-parties trend raised eyebrows because it happened in states where demographics make religious politics a sustainable enterprise. Assam has 30% of the community while Kerala has around 25%. That they are concentrated in select districts makes them crucial to winnability and appealing to leaders who want to launch religious platforms.

    Shariff said, “We want Muslims to go to normal schools and not madrassas, but now the same is happening in politics. They have to be part of mainstream parties and the latter too have to be more inclusive — give them tickets and pay attention to their welfare agenda to check the unfortunate drift.” He said there could not be room for religion in public place.

    While the secular credentials of Congress and Left traditionally polled a chunk of community votes, the 2011 results surprised observers to ask if it was a trend.

    West Bengal, however, bucked the wave with Trinamool Congress raking in the community’s backing. The West Bengal result is seen as welcome relief.

    The political class, however, feels that too much focus on Kerala and Assam could be misleading because the potential is higher among mainstream parties to have broad-based support.

    Bihar, too, has high Muslim population but Nitish Kumar’s success last year in singlehandedly weaning them away from Lalu Prasad is seen as evidence of this belief. “Mamata Banerjee follows the same strategy. It is healthy,” a leader said.

    The community’s gravitation towards Badruddin Ajmal’s AIUDF in Assam and Muslim League in Kerala was so complete that the parties notched up their highest tallies, emerging key players in state assemblies.

    how could bengal, with all its education be so poor???? Answer that honestly. And don’t say the British… :D

    The British left 63 yrs back and left back a glorrious city. It is just a serivile mentality which discouraged entrepreneurship which hammered down Bengal. In the Calcutta which I hung around, everybody was looking for a job! nobdoy ever wanted to start his won thing and become an employer.

    Everyone wanted to protest against global forces and unequality. Nobody was creative enough to create conditions for equality.

    kicking the CPM, which had an inferiority complex as compared to China, Burma, Vietnam, Romania etc etc, just because those guys were communist is the first step,

    The real issue is regenerating entreneurship in Bengalis!! Well you have Prannoy Roy as a model. but he needed DElhi to succeed, And Subroto Roy needed Lucknow.

Then the nobel prize changed all that . Every bengalee wanted to become a poet or a novelist. As to economic decline , there are multiple factors which i have dealt with in some detail in zia’s blog (sometimes in april). The refugee influx totalling some one crore just post independence , started the chain reaction. Despite all this keep in mind in GDP terms bengal is above tamilnadu and gujrat.

    Loved to tickle u a bit as i did to all my Bengali friends in Calcutta.

    Its laudable that the there was no Shiv Sena in Bengal. But then you had the CPM who litelrally chopped the hands of the opposition in rural Bengal. :D

    Before that the Naxals who caused so much violence in Bengal in the seventies killed all who opposed them. So don’t say violence does not exist in ‘hamra Bangla.’ Only thing is that violence was on class lines and not religious.

    If the CPM have decimated the land holdings to 1/16 an acre or 1/2 an acre it my have removed some rural unequality BUT IT HAS ALSO GIVEN AN EQUALITY of POVERTY.

    I own a 2 acre piece of farmland. The maximum yield you can get from 2 acres is Rs 40,000/- per year after deducting input costs. So 1/2 acre will not yield anything beyond just food for yourself.

    The trouble is Shan, Bengalis were given an inferiority complex by the communists and another one by the brown sahibs like Nirad Choudhari :D The Communists told them that “we are nothing as compared to China’ and Nirad CHoudhari clones, revered as he was in Calcutta reminded them that “look at me… I am more cultured than all Indians and even the British honor me …” :D :D

    As for myself, I am a structural and environmental engineer from India’s premier engineering institution. Some of my best guides and professors were Bongs. And my day starts with a song by Kishore Kumar Ganguli and ends with a CD of S D Burman. :D

    And yes, when I call my Bong friends over in Delhi, we seldom get down to fisticuffs though they rile me over the Punjabi culture of Delhi and I remind them of my Calcutta days.

    But in the end, let us re-generate Bengali enterprise. That only will re-generate Bengal….

When satyajit ray was offered a standard class ticket by the cannes organisers , to attend cannes, the declined the offer , as other directors were offered 1st class. Not only that, he stopped screening his films in cannes, didn’t make any dent in his reputation.
    BY the way a certain Narendra nath Dutta (aka swami Vivekanada) said the whites should come and sit under the feet of hindus to learn spirituality. Inferiority complex indeed.

    I know in India there are security concerns- about chini getting into securirty imp sectors like teklecom. Most chinese are nice, but who are the bosses behind, what are their motives, how are they linked to the commies- these are imp concerns.
    In Pak and Africa- there are some dissenting voices- how good are chinese for their economies. Pak is being blooded with cheap chinese exports- there is a big traed deficit. But the Pakis are taught this slogan from birth-friendship with China- himalaya se ooncha, Pacific se gehra.#

    period 14 people have worked for me and out of those 11 have left. Now I have 3 girls working
    since last 2 years. Their is still lot of poverty in China – salaries are not that high almost
    at par with India but they work more than Indian workers in India. I really have no problem

    As it is religion is still not openly preached in CHina because of the communists. SO why should they let a fundmantalist state influence its people ?

    The China- Pak relationship may shine. But at people to people I doubt it. And this is where we can put in the wedge.

    The Chinese youngsters are the exact opposite of what the CPM and communist fans would want you to believe. They are indepndent and without siblings and not too much parental control. They like dating and dancing and want high fashion and gadgets. And consumer goods.

    They need a liberal democarcy and maybe some religion in their lives.

    Nothing in common with the indoctrication Pakistani culture teaches its youth through madrassas and fake history.

    Yes, two non-democracies around us may have ganged up. But Pakistanis also know deep inside that Chinese will never allow Zakir Naik, Zaid Hamid or Hafeez Saeed or their clones to enter CHina.

    it is for us to build up a people to people contact with CHina. It is probably easier since they are NOT Communist in any manner…

    Glad to explain. There was this proposal by a company called Vedanta to mine for bauxite in Niyamgiri mountain which was resisted by the tribals who were supported by many including Arundati Roy. To crush the movement, the govt became very heavy handed which gave an opportunity for the maoists to creep in.
    My own feeling is that in these ugly situations, sometimes one has to wait till the tribals are ready for the development otherwise there is bloodshed. Arundati wrote an impassioned article titled LEAVE THE BAUXITE IN THE MOUNTAIN which I sometimes quote as a metaphor for similar situations.

    mountain of bauxatie is in orrisa(2trillion dollars) which brhmnst wants to rob with the help of multinational.though they get only six cents they take110 dollars.only for six cents we have converted their area into p[olice state and killing tribals has become religious dcuty of every hindu.so anuradhati roy has begged goverment to leave this treasur to sons of soil.
    as compare to hinduism islam is is thousand time tolerant.see how yedurappa is selling indian ores to world while people of area are destitute.

    brhmnst thinks that it is better to be with robber tha to be pick pocket.

    1 .I charge you Mr Vinod Sharma , Political Editor ,HT with spreading lies and half-truths , distorting the statements and attempting to hurt the reputation as a man of reasonable intelligence of Mr Rahul Gandhi Hon’ble MP . I charge you with reporting that whereas his statement was that the heap of ashes was 70 ft in diameter , duly measured by a certified tape , to 70 ft high heap of bones. That you have spread lies that he said 74 people have died, nothing to speak of the mass rape and torture.. It is evident that you wish to cause deep harm to his reputation and lower his esteem in the eyes of the people What native justice is this ?
    In fact BJP is turning out to be his true friend. Atleast they have better assessed his mental abilities and have advised that Mr Rahul Gandhi MP should restrict himself to reading from pre-written texts like his Mom.
    2.Mr Vinod Sharma of the HT Political Bureau asked the PM sir what do you have to say about the gaffe made in preparing the list of terrorists. , as it has brought deep embarrassment and shame to the country. It has also deeply undermined the credibility of India’s diplomatic moves to take Pakistan to task.
    The innocent PM of India – “ Mainu ki pata , Main to Madam naal puchan vaste gaya si”.
    3. The Hon’ble Governor of Karnataka now says Yedurrappa enjoys massive majority and works hard for atleast 17-18 hours ( for the welfare of Karnataka.)

    It is not easy to remain away from this blog for long. Here is a part of a song, which sums up the feelings better than mere words:

    तुम क्या जानो, तुम्हारी याद में
    हम कितना रोए – २
    रैन गुज़ारी तारे गिन, गिन – २
    चैन से जब तुम सोये
    हम कितना रोए

    कितने बादल घिरे गगन में,
    घिरके फिर ना बरसे,
    प्यास बुझा कर दिल ही दिल में
    कितना तड़पे तरसे
    दर्द हमारा दिल जाने या – २
    नैना खोये, खोये
    हम कितना रोये

    Vijay Kumar,

    This time Shri Vinod Sharma has written a blog, which, though topical, has common place homilies and shallow analysis. While, for example he has said, in passing, the Hindus voting en-bloc for their enemy, CPM in Kerala, he has studiously avoided mentioning communalisation of the democratic poll process by the Muslims and Christians, which was the main reason for the uncharacteristic voting by the Hindus. The fact is that our secular press has consistently misled the country about this Muslim League being the inheritor of the two nation theory of the original ML, which succeeded in partitioning the country. In carving out a Muslim Majority district of Malappuram, this successor ML had a mini-partition gifted to them by an obliging CPM in the sixties.

    Similarly, Vinodji is understandably silent on why the Muslims of WB deserted the CPM. He has shown characteristic lack of insight into this aspect. Muslims are said to have become angry at the way CPM behaved in the case of the murder of Rizvan-ur Rehman. If one murder of a middle class Muslim, totally unrelated to the so called Hindu fundamentalism, can help bring down a party that has stood solidly with the Muslims of the whole country, you can imagine the communal mindset of the Muslim community! Why has Vinodji not even touched this aspect of the West Bengal elections?

    in nandigram most of the land which was supposed to be taken was muslim land.this was heniopus crime they tried but failed.thanksgod.then one stupid tasleema nasreen.

    now muslims have given their head to MAA KALI.they have jumped from fry pan to fire.

    May I return the compliment sir for your equally predictable and prejudiced obervations. It was not just the Rizvan case that alienated the Muslims from the Left. The Lalgarh episode in which the CPM cadres tried to take back the area from Maoists, hit many Muslims. That really was the turning point for the community which — as per the Sachar report — has remained on the lowest rung of develoopment and opportunity in the southern parts of the State. The Marxists have to be lauded however for not permtting any communal conflagaration during their long rule.

    Vinodji,

    You are wrong here. If in 34 years of the golden rule of the communists the Muslims remained on the lowest rung of the social ladder, who do you think is responsible? The Muslims themselves.

    If it was not because of Rizvan-ur Rehman, Why didn’t they throw the Left out in the last 34 years? Please don’t try to support the Muslims of WB by blaming the Left and also don’t blame the Left for the failure of the Muslim society to rise economically and socially in the whgole of the country, Sir.

    If at all the Left deserve any credit it is for their steadfast adherence to equality in the downward slide of the state during their long rule.

    @Vinod Sharma, The same muslims are responsible for returning CPM year after year, particularly in calcutta. Though it is possible the land reform may have benefitted some rural muslims. The problem with the quom , their one and only priority in life is THE RELIGION.
    CPM being the greatest hypocrite on planet earth , pandered to these sentiments. Thus madrassah enveloping the landscape , shout as loud as possible on babri masjid demolition , yet maintain stony silence on all the carnages including godhra , mumbai , and even 9/11.
    Yet all the CPM top runk are casteist hindu bramhin to the core. take subhas chakraborti, the chances of finding a non bramhin in the family through marriage is like finding karan johar in carnal embrace with a WOMAN.Also the large cache of arms being discovered every day from CPM leaders house/pond , as the police is no under no constraints.

    No body points out, muslim maasse’s proclivity to shun modern education. They find it easy to go for artisan’s jobs. Without modern education, how they can be integrated in modern economy. Muslims, who have joined mainstream by virtue of modern education, have risen in every field in India. Even Hindus , who have not joined modern education are lagging behind. Fortunately, hindus have become aware of importance of education and you can find millions of so called underprivilaged hindus, are now steadily, rising in life. You can not deny this. Every govrernment should try to integrate muslims in modern education and not resort to short cut of freebies and political , sham, adjustment. let every Indian, come up, with best he/she can offer to society.

    SHAN this is absolute rubbish.muslims were voting for cpm only and only because they stopped the riots.ur father was in bjp so u are still effected with their propaganda.which is always based on lies.provocating the muslims and inciting hindus is the only skill they have.they have nothing positive to offer to hindus.usually they are banias hence blood suckers of their community and others.SO THEY WILL SAY WE SHOULD BE UNITED AS MUSLIMS ARE UNITED.WHICH IS AGIN BULLSHIT.IN UP MUSLIMS ARE VOTING TO EVERYBODY.IN BIHAR THEY VOTED NITISH AND LALLOO BOTH.
    this election also large chunk of muslim votes has gone to cpm.in 3000 years old history they done nothing positive for indians.buhdhdist did but they were annihilated.they frauds like satya sai baba,now sai baba and millions of others suck the money.and divert hatred towards.how india can progress under them.
    when youth i was secretary of district unit of S.F.i started hating them after nandigram &lalgarh episode.it is not because there were more muslims but because they tried to steal the land of poors on throw away price and tried to sell them at higher price to tatas

    all over the world muslims are fighting muslims.99%of alqaida `leaders were areested and given to america by pakistan.hence ur argument that muslims are united quom is wrong.never repeat it.and think it over.

    While UDF won Kerala by two seat majority, the real winner was VS Achuthanandan, the outgoing leftist CM. He campaigned on an anti-corruption, anti-women molestation platform; the youngsters were all for him. He would have won comfortably but for the initial wranglings in the Marxist leadership about giving him a seat.

    Malappuram, the Maarxist “gift” to Muslims in the sixties, had four more assembly seats – thanks to the population growth in that district (overall Kerala had an increase of 6 seats, the other two also being in high Muslim percentage districts). All the 16 seats in Malappuram were won by Muslim League, the partner of Congress. Muslim league won 20 seats of the 24 they contested (all together there are 36 Muslim MLAs in the new assembly)

    Kerala Congress, predominantly a Christian party (formed in the sixties when the then home minister PT Chacko was dismissed from the ministry and congress party for having an extra maritakl relationship with one Padmaja) won fewer seats than they won in the last election. They and their splinter parties won only 11 seats.

    Congress will have to appease Muslim League big time – there is a rumour that E Ahmed, their state minister in the cabinet, will be madea full rank cabinet minister.

    Kerala will be a beachhead for extremist Muslims like Kashmir, if the stupid congress govt does not deal with it in a “manly” way.

    keraal with so many colleges and universities, did not need a campus of Aligarh . Aligarh opened a satellite campus in Malappuram last year.

    Kunjali Kutty, the Muslim league senior minister in UDF (and probably the dy CM), was involved in the “ice cream parlour case” – one in which many women were involved in high end prostitution, and two were killed. The outgoing CM Achuthanandan fought the elections on these issues. While gracefully accepting the verdict of the electorate, he stated that Congress should eb careful that they do not appoint tainted politicians as ministers – to which the congress leaders reacted that they can appoint anybody they want. And lo and behold, Kunjalikuuty is taken a s a senior minister. I give UDF 90 days, they will collapse.

    Masking yourself with multiple faces proves nothing but your weakness in representing yourself. It won’t achieve you any good rather exposes the multifaceted character who is on weak grounds. You can still present yourself with justified arguments by keeping intact your real identity – if you claim to be tajender (which by any stretch of my memory is not a muslim name) how can you defend muslims??

    Why ?

    1) Dynastic succession is sick. It leads to destruction of democracy and birth of Mubaraks and karunanidhi clans. etc etc. Mediamen who want posts and money thru favours may encourage it, but then they are being bad to the country.

    2) After his comments on Lashkar and now in Bhatta Parsaul, Rahul has shown he is a duffer who cannot read the situation.

    3) he should rather become a Minister in the current cabinet and prove his mettle rather than be propelled by idiots like Digvinash and suddenly become a PM.

The congress party is finding hard to defend his claim that large scale rapes took place. While the village women say that police indeed used filthy language but hardly touched any one.
    Well, if someone asks you why you are obsessed with Rahul, I shall say that instead the press is obsessed with him for promoting him as a build up to be future PM of the country. But Rahul is hardly cooperating with these efforts of the media.

    I know this area of western UP well as I have designed some buildings herre and also worked out the technology required for river cleaning. This area is populated by hotheads and now pretty well off people who are gujars and Yadavs. In case there was an actual rape they would have burnt the whole place over and over again.

    yes mayawait has been unfair in the sense villagers get 850 rupees per metre as compensation which is the HIGHEST in India. They also get a residential plot in compensation which ensures they remain well off. ALL this had been worked out by Rajnath Singh who was probably the best Chief Minister UP ever had. Greater Noida flourished under him.

    But nobody will acknowledge that especially the media.

    Anyway the problem is that the villagers got 33 lakhs per acre , Mayawati’s BSP govt is making about one crore an acre in kickbacks and the builder sells the land for 5 crores per acre.

    SO there is some heartburn, especially as compensation plots are yet to be given…

    Cut out the Government loot and give the same to the farmer… everyone is happy.

    About the Bhatta Parsaul face-off between the Congress and the BSP, to me , it appears to be complicit. I see some merit in the view that BSP had allowed not just Rahul Gandhi( said to have reached on a motorcycle) but also Digvijay Singh and Rita Bhaugana Joshi in there , whereas no other leader could reach there. BSP would like the Opposition votes to get divided between the Congress and the SP and BJP. At the same time , I also am surprised by the way Rahul Gandhi’s local guardians in Bhatta Parsaul handled his campaign . Such stupidity. I sometimes think that his L Guardians appear to be wanting to push him into a pit.

    An Arab national was interviewed by US embassy for visa.

    Arab”Abdul Aziz”
    Consul, “Sex”
    Arab” Every Day”
    Consul : “I mean Male Or Female”
    Arab : “Doesnot matter ,sometimes camels also
    Consul : ” Holy Cow!”

    @ Mr Vinod Sharma,
    I am curious if Mr Sharma is still trying to maintain that the fake doctored cd , attributed to a conversation with Mr Bhushan and A singh etc, is a real one ??

    Is there a apology in the works ?

    I am sure, Mr Sharma has seen this letter from Mr Bhushan.

    http://outlookindia.com/article.aspx?271902

    From 4th May onwards, I have written various letters to the special cell of the Delhi Police, the Home Minister and the Prime Minister, for giving me a copy of the report of the CFSL Chandigarh, which has declared the CD, purportedly containing a conversation between me, Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh, to be a fabricated CD, with the conversation being a cut and paste job.

    It is indeed suspicious that the report of CFSL (CBI) Delhi, declaring the conversation in the CD to be authentic, was promptly released, while the report given by CFSL Chandigarh is being kept under wraps.

    Since the director of CFSL (CBI) Delhi is an ad-hoc appointee, whose confirmation as director is yet to be decided by the appointment committee, which has both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister on it, it was easy for influential congress leaders to pressure it to do an unpardonable job of declaring the CD, which was an obvious fabrication, to be an authentic one

    Since the CFSL (CBI) Delhi gives hundreds of reports even year in criminal cases, it was necessary to take action against the scientists. including the ad-hoc director who has signed the report. in order to salvage the reputation of CFSL (CBI) Delhi.

    Every knowledgeable person in India has known that for the last four decades, the Congress has been systematically compromising every independent institution in the country and making them the handmaidens of the party to suit its interests.

    Whether it is the governors or the CBI, or the enforcement directorate or the income tax department or the CVC, all their heads are carefully chosen to suit the Congress party’s interests. This can be seen in the way the previous CVC. who was removed by the Supreme court. was chosen by the Prime Minister and the Home minister, or the way in which the CBI is behaving in the two corruption cases against Mayawati (The Taj corridor case and the disproportionate assets case). in which the CB1 has filed charge- sheets, by changing their stance from time to time, whenever the Congress party needs the help of Mayawati.

    The Congress had degraded independent institutions to such an extent that. in 1977, when I became Law minister, the then chief election commissioner, who was appointed during the congress government’s tenure, came to pay a courtesy call in my office, and I was truly shocked. when he quietly suggested to me that whenever I wanted something to be done by the election commission, I should quietly speak to him.

    Even the Chief Justice of India, M.H. Beg, was chosen by superseding the great judge H.R. Khanna. who attained worldwide fame for his dissent in the Habeas Corpus case during emergency. M.H. Beg had of course ingratiated himself to the Congress by deciding (of course wrongly) Indira Gandhi’s election petition in a blatantly unfair manner, where he decided upon points without even allowing the counsel to address the court on them.

    The latest instance of the flagrant misuse of the Governor’s of fice by the Congress is H.R. Bhardwaj’s latest report to the centre, recommending President’s rule in Karnataka.

    Being now totally convinced that even with a very honest and well meaning Prime Minister, the Congress government is not going to stop its misuse of all institutions that were meant to be independent, I have decided not to have any further correspondence either with the Prime Minister or the Home minister, but to raise these issues only in the People’s Court, where the ultimate sovereignty resides in a Republic.

    Ultimately it is only the people and the Supreme Court which the Congress government will have to face.

    It is only under the very strict monitoring by the Supreme Court, that the CBI, the ED and the IT department have been compelled to do their job, on account of which a former cabinet minister, top bureaucrats, and corporate honchos find themselves in Tihar jail.

    It is for this reason that I am opening a line directly w ith the people of India to tell them how low the influential congress leaders are stooping and why they need to be checked by the people, so that we can again have an India with independent institutions performing their duty in accordance with law and India emerging in the world as a top country wedded to the rule of law.

    While some sections of the media might have compromised their independence, a vast section of the media did not do so. Even some of those in the former category realized their mistakes and redeemed themselves in connection with the fabricated CD.

    I am hopeful that the Indian media would continue to perform its role of a watchdog against wrong doings and continue to serve the people of India.

    very soon they will come at par.dont be sad otherwise u will be sick.now **** boys from good family are also performing extremely well.last month i met with NOKIA CHIEF of middle east who is pakistani.
    chinese are different jewish boys are getting lazy no more like before.
    indian students are good but practical life they are caught in scams and frauds.especially doctors who have become robbers especially in india.one sharma from kanpur is serving 30 or 40 years of jail with 20 million dollar fine in usa.in india he will get away with his money power.

    shenoy jee,

    India’s Brahmin PM Nehru provoked a war with China and at least 1 lakh Indian soldiers died (1962) but not 1 Chinese soldier was killed. But the rulers were not at all perturbed. They will be worried only if their jatwalas are killed. All those who died in the Himalayan holocaust were our people (SC/ST/BCs Muslims/Sikhs/Christians).

    The Brahminical logic is that all these fellows died because they were destined to die. They fought for their motherland and died. As India is not their motherland, they are not expected to die and hence they are not bothered about what happens to India. This is the great Brahminical logic.

    Please note: If there is a war tomorrow with the nuclear Pakistan, the rulers will not bothered because those who die will not be their people. It is this hate-mongering policy of the Brahminists that has made India hated by all its neighbours.

    There million clues why tajinder is a pakistani and that too a dirty, vile type. I have often seen that pakistanis, fed on Pak army/isi/rightwing propoganda start talking about brahmanism, caste system etc because Indians don’t talk like that. What surprises me is that these guys , while they hate Indians, have no qualms about assuming Indian identity and names.

    The only problem I see is that he posts so much trash and tries to reduce the blog into a garbage , where in he finds himself comfortable !

    trying to convince a jinnah-bigot-pakistani about anything is like

    2. trying to convince a Pakistani that they did not exterminate all minorities ( Hindu sikhs from 22% to 1 % )
    3. trying to convince that Pak did not kill millions of bengali muslims in East Pakistan
    4. trying to convince that Pak is not a begger state depending on foreign aid to just make its loan payments
    5. trying to convince a pakistani that Jinnah , Aurngzeb, Ghori, Ghazni etc were religious bigots who killed and plundered

    the list goes on and on.

    Of course there are a many sane Pakistanis but they do not go around assuming fake Indian identities and mouthing absurdities like Brahmanism , Jews etc.

    In fact, trying to compare India and Pakistan today, given how different the political history of the countries has been in last 65 years, is self-proclaimed act of IDOCY.
    One is a butcher-state , the other among the greatest secular-democracies in the world.

    The kind of language tajinder user comes out of the educational-***-mental insititutions of the Islamic republic of Pakistan. The more he speaks we get a view at the history and education written by Jinnah;s muslim league.

    No body points out, muslim maasse’s proclivity to shun modern education. They find it easy to go for artisan’s jobs. Without modern education, how they can be integrated in modern economy. Muslims, who have joined mainstream by virtue of modern education, have risen in every field in India

    PANKAJ education has made so expensive that it is out of reach of muslims.only rich can have good education.second or third class education without resevation can not bring job.so they prefer to be artisan.always exploited by banias and threatened by rss gundaas.

    Education is not expensive. If you have willingness, you will definitely find a way. if children of people in similar economic standard can go to school, i am sure muslim children can also go to school. Muslims, particularly in lower class, tend to have large number of children and then do not care to bring them up properly.

    I know a muslim family ( a postman ) who had 14 children ! I always wondered how he was going to raise the children properly ! But the gentleman was not really bothered. Whenever I asked him about this, he would say Allah would take care !

    I was looking forward to great discussions on Communists, their future in India, mamata magic, Jaya’s turn-around in this particular blog post. Even Karuna’s future political plans would have made a great discussion. What impact can kanimozhi’s jail have on the overall political scenario? Will people develop cold feet before agreeing to be part of big time scam or political deviations? Dwelling upon these issues would have made great discussion here.

    I guess people just do not want to leave their comfort zone and discuss the possibilities in life.

    She knows how to handle the media, is a good speaker in English and Tamil and reasonably well in all South Indian langiuages (I think she speaks Hindi too).

    There is enormous support for her from the women in TN, she can and will use this to develop into an all India womens support.

    Karunannidhi and his family enterprise are done. “One who lives by the sword dies by the sword”. Although there is a probability that Maran can reemerge – he is smart unlike Karuna’s sons from all the wives – Stalin, Alagiri et al.

    Part of the corruption charges were manufactured by Karunanidhi (their feud go back in time when MG Ramachandran broke away from DMK), and the other parts mainly done by her cohorts (she does not have any “family”).

    Shan, whatever you say or think about Karunannidhi or Jayalalitha, both have done great good for Tamil Nadu aam admi, in terms of development, both economic and social — sorry to say unlike anybody hs done for West bengal in the last three decades.

    There are various positive underlying currentsfor Jaya – 1) She is very very tough, decisive 2) She has real grass-roots support – she is considered “amma” (mother) by a large number of people in Tamil Nadu 3) being an actress, she knows how to use the TV medium 4) She is a methodical, analytical, “long term” person – she didnt fold her party and merge with Congress or otehr bigger parties when her party had a humiliating defeat 10 years ago — she proclaimed at that time that she will become an allIndia party 5) She has womens support 6) She is very pragmatic, developmental oriented 6) She knows how/when to use power.

    May be we are all betetr off if we have a central cabinet with Jaya, Modi, Chandrababu Naidu , etc

    Dear Friends,

    Ravi was almost forced out of this blog due to your sustained demand, before Prabhat took him under his wings for a course in rehabilitation as for a drug addict. Now, this Tur-d has become such a nuisance and a source of constant irritation that it has become impossible for decent bloggers to keep our cool and not resort to cheap vulgar language, which is exactly what he wants us to do.

    I am therefore calling upon all of you to launch another campaign to throw this SCUM out.

    If you are proud that you are a Bengali, that you are not an ‘internet Hindu’, I have no dispute with those statements.

    But, about your ‘Bangla renaissance’ let me quote a joke.

    Mahatma Gandhi was once asked by a gora journalist what he thought of western culture, to which Mahatma Gandhi replied, “It is a good idea”.

    Lastly honesty, as accepted universally, is thpoe best policy, but brutality, practised by the Bengali Reds for half a century, is bad for the health of everybody, particularly its victims.

    @Shenoy, I will blown away by your intellectual brilliance, and your joke is the joke of the century. However let me give you some FACTS about gandhi.
    At age 60 , when he had an involuntary orgasm , he went potty , for he had this moronic beleif , that if you could suppress your sexual desires , the energy will be channeled into acheiving higher things. this is the time he started sleeping with two young girls on his both sides.
    Another one , which gives an insight of future economic trajectory of india,
    When womenfolk from birla household came to visit gandhi , the first thing he said “Beti log hamare liye kuch nahi layi ho” .A wad of cash was duly placed infront of his feet.
    Not difficult to predict the share of the pie that birlas would receive post independence.
    As for Bengal renaissance , I just need to say “Do not cast pearls…..”

    I wish to understand how India can integrate better from your viewpoint. Frankly at times, many hindus feel that Muslims have some greater love for Pakistan than India.

    This may be a generational thing as the previosu generation had seen the divission of the country on religious lines.

    i dont think that way. I employ many Muslims and even have a Muslim tenant. I know that there is really no differnce in thinking. Yet somewhere I feel at times, some Muslims tend to gravitate towards parites who are fighting for the Ummah rrather than fighting poverty, illiteracy and ignorance as i exists today in India.

    On the other hand politcal parties like the COngress want to isolate Muslilms from rest of India by tailoring their rhetoric on religious lines.

    DEAR SHENOY DO U AGREE THATBrahminical rulers, like their Jewish cousins, are experts in propaganda which made the gullibles in the West to believe that India is the “land soaked in spiritualism”, that the people are so god-fearing that they do not kill even an ant. Their biggest gas balloon is Gandhi whose “saintly appearance” deceived the whole world.

    Such a “great land of spiritualism”, with 330 million gods, is buried under mountains of corruption and destroying every wing of the society. Its very pillars of “Hindu spiritualism” are shielding and defending the corrupt rascals.

    “KHATRI SICK” IN SCAM ?
    When the World Bank nominee, the “Khatri Sick” PM’s name figured in the country’s most famous and the largest financial scam, (telecom), he rushed to the notorious Puttaparti Satya Sai Baba, hailed as the very incarnation of god, though the same god could not cure the hundred and one diseases he is suffering from.

    Brahminical “spiritual” leaders in hundreds have gone to US, UK and other Western countries to fool the godless Christians and doing brisk business selling their bogus yoga, a big humbug.

    TIRUPATI RECEIVES TAINTED MONEY
    Suresh Kalmadi, a Madhwa Brahmin from Karnataka, is fully protected by the Udupi swamis and their butter thief god Krishna. Harshad Mehta, Ketan Desai, Ramalinga Raju, Ambanis, all of them are highly spiritual fellows — whatever that may mean.

    Bangalore’s Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and the Udupi Pejawara Swami are the gurus for all these thieves.

    The Tirupati temple, the richest in India, is receiving all this stolen money. Yet, neither the presiding god nor its priests rejected this filthy stuff. Reports say the money stolen in all these scams are deposited with these Hindu swamis and temples for safe- keeping.

    just noticed that tajender has been upset that Doc mishraji said we should payn US Blackwater agency 25 miilion dollars to take out dawood. He has stated that modi and advani go free- his stance on both dawood and modi will inflame everyone

    bade paaji when imf chief can be caught and sent to jail.why not advani.when on 6th december he was leading rowdy brigade to demolish our historical monument 14 poors were burnt alive in front of him ,why he should not go to jail and pay like normal indian in same conditions.everything is on video.
    same modi,ehsaan jafferi made 200 calls to advani modi etc before he was burnt alive by gundaas alongwith 69 others sheltering in his house.,including a parsee boy.ABHEE TU JEEVIT HAI WAS THE ARESPONSE OF MODI.he was found using his home minister to run money extraction bussines and using state police in this crime.where in the world people like them will be allowed to run public office.

    dawood smuggled rdx after continued communal riots in which state police was helping rioters in their act of looting and murder.when state fails people take the affair in their own hands.neverthless
    he should be arrested and punished as per indian laws.but too much talk of dawood and be silent on other side is double standard.
    govt of india has given list of 50 most indians to pakistan.2-3 are already in indian jail.it means they are not serious.just playing games to create tension to help cia.

    Fake Tajendar is not a suicide bomber yet. But his hatred for all relgions like Hindu, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, qadianis is so gr8 that he is a potential Suicide bomber.

    We can also use him as a guinea pig to see whther we can reverse brainwash him. If we can, then we can share the expertise with CIA, RAW, MOssad, MI6 and other agencies which r fighting Pakistani terror… :D

    It is not a billion dollar question. The principal reason was Gujarat 2002 and its justification till date. No remorse, no apology (the reasons are too well known as to why) and attempts to whitewash it by citing development and progress in Gujarat. Even, Shahnawaz Hussain and other leaders of the BJP admitted as such after the results came in. Most of its allies had simply walked away. The governance under the NDA was as good or as bad as under the Congress Party. The BJP/NDA did use the CBI to finish off Tehelka and they brushed a number of scandals under the carpet – Kargil Coffingate, Petrol Pump Scam, Bangaru Laxman case, etc.

    The 2009 elections were preceded by the Orissa 2008, the BJP’s opposition to the Nuclear Deal (just to score political brownie points), Varun Gandhi and its regular disruption of the parliament to cite few reasons.

    Politics of confrontation does not pay in the long run. It seems, the BJP is not prepared to learn any lessons and has been in denial ever since. Why is to so, only they can answer.

    Many big states are under BJP control for the last decade or so.

    In spite of the media crusade and hype for Rahul Gandhi in Bihar, all the congress candidates including its state president lost their deposits. Credit goes to the BJP as much as for Nitish Kumar for showing common sense in sticking with the BJP.

    In the recent elections in Tamil Nadu, the congress became a mill-stone around the DMK’s neck and lost 57 of the 63 seats it contested.

    In Kerala, by joining hands with the most virulently communal, cecessionist Muslim League, it divided the society vertically, forcing Hindus to vote for the CPM with a vengeance never seen in the electoral history of India. And no role for the bJP in this sharp polarisation. The credit for that goes entirely to the congress.

    In the 2009 elections, non-congress parties lost their chance only because of two persons: Vijay Kant in Tamil Nadu and Chiranjeevi, because fo whom almost 70 seats went the UPA way. If Vijay Kant had any sense, he wouldn’t have destroyed Jayalalitha’s chances, which were crucial for the non-congress parties. The same goes for AP. The way TN has voted this time is a sure indicator of which way the 2009 elections would have gone.

    The shrill way the Amul Baby is screaming rape, murder in UP puts into shade Varun Gandhi’s histrionics.

    If and buts cannot undo and rewrite history, nor any event influence the past.

    My post was brief without going into too much details of factors responsible for the defeat in 2004 and in 2009 with reduced tally.

    The only party that had realistic but a very remote chance in 2009 to form a non-congress government at the centre was the BJP, but hardly any smaller and regional parties were prepared to go along with it. Forget the shenanigans of the Third Front – there weretoo many emperors and empresses vying for one post of the Prime Minister.

    True, there are many states under the BJP. The electorate is clever enough to distinguish between the parliamentary elections and the state assembly elections. The UPA managed to win 46 seats out of 155 from the BJP ruled states, whereas the BJP/NDA won 28 seats out of 199 seats from Congress ruled states.

    B.V.SHENOY Reply:

    Dr.Mishra,

    Being in UK, I would have imagined you would have a sharper perspective of the minority appeasement VS Hindu fascism debate. I wonder why you have remained so vaguely unfamiliar with the issues.

    The Kerala elections have shown that the society can get divided on communal lines even in the total absence of the BJP/Bhajrang Dal. It is the congress party which has joined hands with Muslim League, the anti-India communal party, whose foot soldiers recently chopped the hands of a Christian professor for setting a question paper not to their liking. The other point of Islamic fundamentalism being so blatantly practised by the congress party is the Batla House shooting of terrorists.

    Tehelka is given as an example of misuse of CBI by the BJP, whereas, in reality, Tehelka is working solely as the scavenging media arm of the congress party.

    The press of India is biased against the BJP totally. And for obscure reasons…..

    a) The english speaking Media girls feel that thde BJP may represent a return to lectures on what good Indian women should do. And knowing a few media girls I k now that many of them feel that having rum and coke is more important than objective assesment of politcal performance !

    b) Tehelka was a roll of toilet paper owned by a small time Cong peon. It needed to create a scam to come into the news. IT forcefully gave rs i lakh to Bangaru Laxman for a non existent contract. ANd it supplied prostitutes to some army majors just to create a scam

    Then started shouting in true Cong style…”rape/// rape//rape///”

    The same media was silent when 1,790000 crores was eatne by Cong and allies. In fact some of the press and media people like Vir Sanghvi, Barkha Dutt etc have been caught liasoning for KaNIMOZHI. But nobody shouts rape now…

    NOt even V inod Sharma !

    So a negative press bcos of poor media management was one big reason.

    3 And the last big one is that Vajpayee was too decent as compared to most Congress leAADERS….

    So tehelka coopts this lady, tranishes his record, blames him for taking bribes for a coffin contract…

    Hello Mr. Vijay
    Our media really played a vicious role during NDA regime. They would go wild with any minuscule happening and the Tehlka and Bangar Laxman issues were evolved because of sting operation planned by arms dealers and the congress opposition party. The media played out day and night the footage of these sting operations. Surely, it had an adverse impact on the psych of the middle class section of the society.
    It must be said to the credit of BJP that 2G scam was brought to light not by any sting operation but because of the combined efforts of some activists ( Like Dr. Subramaniam Swami, Prashant Bhushan etc etc.),investigative journalism of a section of media and also due to inter corporate rivalries among IT companies. BJP used it perfectly well for it to be played out to the masses. The CWG and 2G scams have superseded all the others. It was the 2G scam which made Raja the biggest scamester in TIMES magazine analysis.
    Hope fully, the general public utilizes the electoral options sensibly next time. The TN has set an an example. Hopefully, the whole India follows it.

    2) I wish one could share your optimism of Nitin-Modi-Jaya-Naidu combo coming to power in Delhi. In the last elections, the BJP drew a blank in 14 states. Where and how do you get the numbers to reach the magical 273 plus. I am not sure whether you meant Nitish and not Nitin. If latter, then it becomes even more difficult, as of today, the former guarantees 35 seats from Bihar. There are slim chances of those who walked away – the BJD, TD and others – to trudge back to the NDA. Their credibility would be at stake.

    People are not touching the major deviations in 2G for obvious reason.

    The Unified license in just 7 days, extension of license validity tp 20 years, changing the licensing model to revenue sharing are many skeletons could have tumbled out had Mahajan been around.

    If it was not Mukesh Ambani’s largess to Mahajan, things would have looked very different now.

    Eventually, CBI is doing what it was supposed to do. This is a refreshing change.

    I saw some messages on this blog post that you can not figure out why NDA lost in 2004.

    My take is that NDA acted like a political nouveau riche.

    A little brash.

    Be it tehleka or association with Jaya. They twisted everything with strange logic.

    They though those smart one liners on TV were winning them brownies. But it was other way round.

    Mocking at Sonia did not earn them any point. But they kept on repeating. [ They still do !!!! ]

    CAG’s 1 lakh 70 thousand notional loss is debatable. PAC chairman Joshi is yet to vet that.

    The hurried draft PAC report was a major goof up by Joshi.

    But interestingly, UPA has allowed investigations into all scams to take its natural course. If CBI keeps working the way they have done in recent month, then it will be new chapter in Indian political history.

    It talks about a volume about the mindset of UPA bosses.

    Anybody and everybody has been questioned by so called lowly CBI officers ! This will add new credibility to CBI.

    Good part is that the top Govt. Ministers are committed to the cause. inspite of these little side shows by Raja or Kalmadi, the Govt. has moved on.

    This will only get better.

    Otherwise Raja would have remained a Raja.

Infact, she made a very comic picture yesterday on Nidhi Razdan’s night show defending the Amul Baby, who couldn’t distinguish between chicken bones and human bones, in his haste to scream, “Mayawati, Mayawati, Rape, Rape…”.

The way scam related cases are going on – may be due to the pressure from the Supreme Court – the UPA may still walk away with plus points and come back to power in 2014.

    On the other hand, the BJP does not seem to have taken any concrete steps to put its house in order. Perhaps lethargy on account of denial and shock of having lost in2004 and 2009.

    If you take interest in top legal minds working in the court, notice every single word they utter.

    It’s like you pay Rs20/- bribe to the peon to expedite the meeting with an officer in the Govt department.

    The peon made Rs. 20/-.

    You expedite the movement of the file because of that.

    But since most of the Govt tenders are submitted in sealed cover and opened in the presence of the appropriate authority, the Govt. gets valuation as per the Tender Contract.

    You might have given Rs.20/- to the peon, out of pocket.

    You would not have not given rs20/- discount to the Govt. anyway as it was a sealed tender.

    In short :

    The Govt. got the price it wanted. The peon made money in the process.

    Vijay Kumar Reply:

    @ Prabhat

    There is no question of zero loss. Here is a list how the losses would have occured

    a) About 3-5000 crores would have gone to Raja and assoscaites as kickbacks, assuming 25 crores per licence. Kickabacks would hve been heavier as Unitech made 2600 crores by just selling the licence :D . Now dont tell me Kanimozhi and Rja would have just taken Rs 20 from them,,,

    The bidding companies will nbot get this money from Mars. Thye would have hiked their operational rates accordingly making all INdians pay for it.

    b) Th terms of the cotract would have been tweaked so that the operator makes more profits while the customer pays more. AND THIS EXTRA BILL YOU AND ME and all of India WILL KEEP PAYING WOULD BE THOUSANDS OF CRORES EVERY YEAR>>>

    Prabhat, if you go by Sibal’s logice that the customers did not lose anything, but Raja too gained, so nothing wrong. Then we might as well fix 15% commission in each contrat for all Ministers

    Prabhat Reply:

    @ vijay

    a) 5000 crores out of what ?

    If in Auction/sealed quotation, the Govt. get Rs 20000 crore as the best price, and if Govt. got Rs20000 crores then that’s the price Govt got.

    b) The term contract was defined much earlier.

    *****

    The actual corruption :

    The Govt. got what it wanted. The price was set.

    Then where did the corruption happened?

    The corruption happened when A Raja informed his friends in the industry to be ready with bank draft of thousands of crores, changed the document submission time frame without giving reasonable timeframe to others be prepared with the requisite money.

    For this favour, Raja surely made money.

    Like the peon in my other example, Raja made money on the sideline.

    But the Govt. got it had set out to.

    also note that call for partion first came from lala lajpat rai and then by rss.jinnah was never happy.nehru and mountbaitan imposed partition on him.jaswant singh has written this now rssw accept this.
    he was not genuine for musl;im cause at all.khilafat movement seprated muslims from main stream isolated them.poor unemployed muslims did not gain anything from this.jinnah was totally opposed to this movement.
    rss was killing muslims because they were completely in power sharing deal.though maratha surrounded delhi till third battle of panipat and suffered a lot.

    he used to torture his wife always misbehaved with his son.who later converted to islam,just to iake revenge.he only helped his jaati who became billionaire from beggars.he was playing british cards.in south africa he was play boy.seargent in south african army ,living with white me.eating meat drinking best wine and cigrattes.
    policy adopted by subhash chander bose,rash bihari bose narendra nath dey, com.randive, even mohd ali jinnah were more nationalistic.british media was magnifying him and made him saint.in the constraint he used to sleep with women naked,who lost thheir lives completely.

    The day India has a separate judicial system for cases involving financial crimes- courts which are fast tracked to deliver judgement in super quick time- ALL SCAMS WILL VANISH. A tenant stays on without rent cos he knows that cases drag on for 10-15 years and often the landlord dies or becomes weak in the process.

    Corruption will generally be less in an ideology based party- eg communists and BJP.

    Corruption will be more in coalitions cos the leader, even if he wants to, cannot crack the whip. MMS is a thorough gentleman, but he does show flashes of genuflection. When he met Bush 2 years ago- WHAT WAS THE NEED TO SAY ‘ALL INDIANS LOVE YOU’.

    There is also collusion between lawyers and “munsiffs”, postponing cases, Munsiffs taking off as they feel etc..with the result cases just get postponed..

Nothing to speak of the injuries to policemen. You may have seen visuals of policemen being surrounded and hit by lathis and sticks out there.This was a pre-planned conspiracy to have that riot like situation there, instigated by a mischief monger by the name of Manveer , who is absconding since then. The entire media was and is there And waht was the need of the Head Media Cell of the Congress to clarify ( deny ) the statements of the Amul Baby
    Any way . let us see how far the Congress is able to take this issue forward if there was a genuine genocide there.

    IS ADVANI, AN INTRINSICALLY DECENT BUT MISGUIDED INDIVIDUAL, IN A WAY RESPONSIBLE, EVEN IF INDIRECTLY FOR THE COMMUNAL VIOLENCE RELATED TO BABRI, GODHRA AND GUJRAT. IS HE IN SOME MINOR WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RISE OF DAWOOD

    I know this area well. Almost like the back of my hand.

    Even if you go thru the BBC report, you will see that they could not find any traces of rape or murder. That is why the Yuvraj and Digvinash are way off target. In fact the National commission of women has also jumped into the fray, just proving that all these agencies are Congress puppets. Maybe the NCM will also find something adverse ! :D

    The real tragedy of development in India is something else. It is about integrating farmland to exist along with Urban development in a PLANNED manner.

    What CPM did by distributing land in parcels of 1/8 acre is bad because it kills ALL possibilities of Industrial and urban development taking place as land acquisition can never happen. SO an entire generation living of 1/8 acres with no employment is condemned to poverty forever.

    The Ghazibad, Dadri and Bulanshahar area of UP was a crime belt where you could be murdered for 50 rupees, fifteen years back. And women were condemend to worse sort of poverty and casteism. You could be kidnapped for ransom with big names like DP Yadav, Madan Bhaiya etc being the local Mp’s and MLA’s

    HOwever a CEO of greater NOida authoirty called Brijesh Kumar, acquired land for greater NOida in such a planned manner that everyone is happy. The locals got heavy compensation, a residential plot equivalent to 5% of surrenedered land and jobs in industry. Many became BIG property dealaers and builders. Others started their own shops and trucking businesses etc. That was the marvel of development which converted it into the MOST prosperous area of UP….

    But Mayawit got it all wrong lately. Her governemnt though gives compensation of 33 lakhs per acre– more than any COngress state– is slow to give compensation plots. And it is common knowledge that the government takes 3000 -5000 per sq mtr for land allotment to builders. That is where the heartburn is. The farmer gets 33 lakhs per acre while the government takes 1.5 crores as kickbacks while the builder then sells it at 5- 10 crores per acre after spending on development…

    BUT ! Let me reassure you that the farmers want higher compensation and DO NOT WANT ARUNDHATI ROYS AND LEFITISTS TO COME AND SPOIL THE HUGE DEVELOPMENT GOING ON OUT HERE !.

    [Reply]

  • Gopi Thomas

    Dr Misra -

    As to your question about why BJP lost centre/ why they are not able to get back etc.. Here are some of my thoughts and observations .

    1) The party does not have leaders who can learn from defeats, forge strategies, leverage opportunities. You cannot fight a national election on a platform that the numero ono objective is to build one temple or three temples. People have moved on. Modi could be that leader; but the party is afraid of putting him as the front. They should simply put him a sthe front and see where chips fall.
    2) They do not have a “bench”. Mahajan was their charismatic man, of course his personal side and family side tarnished them. There was no other youth cadre. Now old in itself is not bad. I have seen how an old man like VS Achuthanandan was able to attract the young people of Kerala, how his coinage “Amul Baby” became a natiuonal ‘branding’ on incapable stupid people like Rahul Gandhi. Old is Ok,. but not relics.
    3)They do not have a base in South India and do not have a long term strategy to maintain their strength in Karnataka, and expand to other states. Tamil Nadu, AP, Kerala do not have a single BJP MLA/MP. With all the caste/local parties in TN and AP, BJP should be able to form a few seat winning coalition in those states; but there are no leaders to pull it through. They can create a presence in kerala if they forge an alliance with the christian based splinter Kerala congress groups. Vellapally Natesan, the industrialist leader of Ezhava group SNDP, has made several statements indicating his frustration with the lefta nd right fronts. BJP should handover the kerala organization to him. They could have maintained Karnataka as a “model”; however their internal fights from day 1 onwards have made them a laughing stock plus the perception they are owned by the Reddy brothers of Bellary.

    4) BJPs immediate focus should be to develop strong capable leaders – All the indicaton is that Gandhi family finally is vulnerable. Gadkari etc is useless. Party should have two sets of leaders – a few Mahathma Gandhi type (may be Dr Kalam and a few like him) who will connect with people, and a few strong ones who will provide administrative leadership. Modi has shown he can do both at a state level. And may be there are few states where that model may work whatever congressioanls say.

    5) No single party will rule the centre (under our current electoral system) for the next 20-30 years. It will be always coalition. BJP has a winning coalition in Bihar. Bihar sends tons of MPs. Tamil Nadu and Andhra send tons of MPs. This is the time for BJP

    [Reply]

    B.V.SHENOY Reply:

    Dear Gopi Thomas,

    there are some points in your analysis, which need to be contested.

    1. In 1977 and again in1989, most of the non-congress leaders were novices at governance. Still, they came to power. On the contrary, BJP has the wherewithal to put up a credible management team if their coalition gets a majority. Even people who are incompetent like Deve Gowda, VPSingh, Gujral, Chndrashekhar, Sonia Gandhi all got their chances at governance. It is a different matter that Sonia maidan chhod ke bhaag gayee. It is flase hood to say that BJP comes to power only to build a temple or temples.

    2. Modi has attained his present stature only in the recent months. Before that he was vilified by the secular media in collusion with the congress party. Mahajan’s ‘weaknesses’ came out only because and after he died.

    3. Despite all the “Yeddy Yeddy, corruption, corruption” shouting going on here in this blog, Yeddyurappa has single handedly managed to bring the entire Lingayat community, which was for all these years, solidly behind the congress party, to BJP’s side. They are about 22% of the state’s population.

    4. Lastly, if there is a strong enough determination in the people to throw the corrupt congress away, as we find existing now, a coalition will definitely come up, to which BJP can and will lend its muscle for a long haul.

    2) You have mentioned many steps for the BJP to reinvent itself. The question when it will start doing so, as it is a long haul programme. One sees no signs of it.

    Yes, u r right; there is a great opportunity to reinvent, reorient, and take advantage (in a positive way) of the anxieties and frustrations people face all across the country. There is a 60% of young population, quite idealistic, strongly rooted in the idea and reality of India.

    I was using Kalam just as an example. I am sure, if requested, he will not have an issue to be the people “face’ of the party. Or, as I said, it can be Modi. Secularists will cry; so what. BJP is betetr off with Modi as its national leader, forging strong aliance with leaders like Jaya, Chandrabhanu, Nitish etc

    [Reply]

    Manohar_T Reply:

    @Gopi

    1) I do not think any former President would agree to be a face of a political party. Certainly there would be an issue, after one has had the honour of holding the highest nonpolitical office in the land.

    2) In my other post I have mentioned that the BJP has chosen to remain in denial and shock. In such a scenario, no one is prepared to take the bull by its horns. Moreover, nothing moves in the BJP without prior sanction from the RSS honchos, who seem to be stuck in some ancient time wrap

    3) IMO, Modi is not the right choice, he has made himself too controversial and the BJP/RSS know it. Otherwise, they could have very well have appointed him the President instead of Gadkari. In 2009 and in the state assembly elections thereafter, he has failed as vote-catcher for the BJP outside of Gujarat. In fact, he is seen as a liability.

    4) Nitish Kumar and Modi working together! No way. Naidu would also keep away. Jaya may join the NDA. That is enough though. The BJP needs to have allies or grow itself in many states, where its presence is zerom but it has to put its house in order.

    5) The only faint hope I see in the BJP is Sushma Swaraj (never mind her hysterical response in 2004, when everybody thought that Sonia Gandhi would become the Prime Minister). Again IMO, she has realised that the type of politics practiced by the BJP does not pay dividends. In spite of being aggressive as a leader of the opposition and rightly so, on the sidelines she has started building bridges with leaders of other political parties, including Sonia Gandhi. She may be in minority at the moment, but she has three years to get a majority of the BJP to her way of thinking. Of course, one has to wait and watch.

    Prabhat Reply:

    @ Manohar

    Sushma could be a better choice. However, she has very little patience. I have seen her from close quarter.

    Many a time, she has derided her voters in public meetings and told them bluntly that she would still be a leader without them.

    You have mostly watched her on television where she is very public friendly.

    But unfortunately, in real life she has hardly any patience.

    Manohar_T Reply:

    @Prabhat

    Thank you for your inputs. Well, nobody is perfect. My only concern is that we need another strong party, minus the double standards, doublespeak and a non-communal agenda, to counter the Congress. The BJP having achieved a certain critical mass has the best chance. Alas, as stated elsewhere, they have not even taken the first step to fill that slot and 7 years have passed. That is where I thought that Sushma Swaraj taken the first steps, befriending Sonia Gandhi, accepting and attending a private dinner hosted by the Prime Minister. It remains to be seen whether the RSS hawks will pull her back, hence qualifying my optimism – a faint hope.

    Prabhat Reply:

    @ Manohar

    Apart from the reason I gave about Sushma, I have slight doubt about her ability to play on the big stage.

    The party gave her 2 big opportunities.

    Once as a Chief Minister in Delhi for a short duration before the election and another to fight Sonia in Ballery.

    Instead of invigorating the party, she openly claimed to be the sacrificial lamb. She gave up the fight even before first salvo could be shot.

    She fought Sonia gandhi, but she did with the same defeatist mindset. She did not fight as a giant killer.

    Moreover, she is hardly known as a planner.

    Whatever, we may say about Advani, he is a great planner. He plans things to the minutest details and tries to execute. [ Please note I am talking about his political fights, not his administrative abilities.]

    Jaitley is known as a good planner, but he does not have the mass appeal.

    Modi could have been a great potential, but for that one blunder. He can never outgrow that past.

    Manohar_T Reply:

    @Prabhat

    I would tend to agree with you, may be she is not the right choice to lead the BJP out of the morass or should one say she is the most promising among them, but not good enough on the larger national canvass. She cannot do it single handedly, she will need to build a team around her. Perhaps I am reading too much into her ability to lead the BJP – sans the unwanted baggage

    Arun Jaitley, apart from not having any grass root mass appeal, keeps blotting his image by his unequivocal support for Modi, arguably one of the most controversial politicians in India.

    Yes, I agree, Modi is out of the equation.

    The larger question for the well being of our system is that who will occupy that empty slot – right of the centre in Indian politics?

    I thought we may have good discussion here with you. But you are passsing judgement on Gandhiji. I do not think that any one from present age is in a position to pass judgement on him. Studying him, analysing him and rejecting or accepting him is all one can do. Your tone and tenor smack of Babu Nirad Chaudhary. Out of dozens of quotes from far superior neurons of people, of his time, who had better oppeortunity to understand him. i will quote only one.
    Albert Einstein: it is difficult to imagine that a person, in flesh and blood, walked the earth. In M. K. Gandhi, we can compare him only to Jesus or Prophet Mohammad.
    I think, this should be enpough for you. Comparing S.C. Bose, a great man in his own right, with Gandhi, also tells of strong regionalism, which has overcome your power of balanced thinking.

    pankaj try to undrstand the horrors of brhmnsm

    .K. Gandhi hailed as the apostle of non-violence, walking with a simple loin cloth and fountain head of Hindu spiritualism, was the king of all the Hindu corrupt crorepatis. He made the Marwadis, once beggars, into multi-millionaires. Birlas, Dalmias, Bajajs, Ambanis, Goenkas, Sahu Jains were all blessed by Gandhi to loot the country and become rich.

    “Hindu spiritualism” is the other name for Brahminical blood-sucking exercise.

    INDIVIDUAL SALVATION
    “Brahminical philosophy” is different from all other religious philosophy. Under Islam, Christianity and even Jewish religions what is preached and practised is “collective salvation”. Followers of each religion go to their religious centers at the appointed time or day and pray to their god collectively.

    But under Brahminism you are directed to go to your temple alone and pray alone for your individual salvation alone. See the difference.

    Happiness is always collective. An individual can never be happy when the whole society is rotting, stinking, sick and suffering. Hinduism has killed our sense and sensibilities.

    This is the essence of the Hindu value system. It is this dangerous value system that makes a Hindu to make money — beg, borrow, steal or murder — and then offer a part of the money to the god (meaning the godman) and a heaven is assured for you. That is how most of the corrupt rascals caught in the scams are all “highly religious”.

    Brahminism is, therefore, the root cause of our poverty, corruption, exploitation, backwardness, illiteracy, and more than anything hate-mongering resulting in reckless violence.

    Thanks for your answer. Yes, Gandhiji’s legacy is a gift to mankind. It requires extraordinary courage to practice it. Not my cup of tea, but at the same time, I do not underestimate its wonders for humanity. Look at Nelson Mandela, more than 25 years in jail and when freedom comes for him, he carries no rancour for whites and advices a mixed society. Nelson is also known as South Africa’s Gandhi, so does Martin Luther King, as pointed out by you.
    Now, can we discuss all these leaders’ family life? Nelson Mandela’s family life was not good, with winnie mandela and all that. Not sure about Martin Luther king, but like wise every great public person’s lfamily life is bound to suffer, in the same vein, Gandhiji’s family suffered. Try to see the greatness of him, for not promoting Devdass, I am not talking in context of present time but even in his time, it was impossible to resist the temptation of supporting one’s first born, particularly, when he is weak. How he overcame that weakness is amazing. India’s kingdom was his, just for asking. People made money for generations, by wearing a cap, named after him, though he never used that cap. Did he fall for this temptation ? NO. When Nehru told him that he is suffering from pangs of guilt for killing a muslim boy, when his son was killed by a muslim mob, Gandhiji suggested to raise an orphan muslim boy, as muslim and that should help him to remove that feeling of guilt. That is for his impartiality for hindus and muslims. there are so many instances, that I can not enumerate them here. His fads were all personal experiments and sheer openness about them, whence he wrote about them in his books, absolve him of any lust ful thoughts. No body will indulge in such things and admit in Public and write about it, particularly father of nation. do you know his guilt for Sex, was rooted, when he found that he was having sex with Ba,(very early marriage and this must be just after marriage) and in next room his father died and he was not there at that very moment. So do not judge him by an ordinary person’s standard. The young girl you have mentioned was hid grand niece/ or something to that effect Hindu religion is full of symbolism, all the stories and mahabharat are deep philosophies explained in a story form. Gandhiji’s fads were more of symbolic nature than any thing else. it is not that he did not know, industries and their eventual impact and necessities. the whole India was so backward in bad laws, customs and economy that his was an effort to uplift masses first.
    I need to go to nursery to bring some thing for my garden, hence some time next. But this is not imagination, what I told you. it is just a click away on Internet. Try your self.

    As to gandhi , your are starting from your entrenched position , mahatma.
    I am starting from a rationalist point of view.
    There is no doubt , he was a very CONSERVATIVE hindu.
    He said in no uncertain terms that he beleived in the merits of varnashram(caste )
    No wonder netaji called him an old sofa .
    Also for all his fasting , there were hardly any in his INNER CIRCLE who were muslim. Maulana abdul kalam was a nationalist first , gandhis follower a secondary outcome.
    Certainly he did not inspire much confidence with muslims , with his constant talk of RAM RAJYA, and no wonder there were so many riots which he was vigorously opposing .
    But he was always REACTIVE than PROACTIVE.
    His conniving and back stabbing of netaji , after his preferred candidate being overwhelmingly defeated by netaji is quite shameful.
    Just think of all the muslims who joined Azad Hind Force , all of netajis right hand men were all muslims, Abid Hassan , Shahnawaj khan etc.
    As for his humble life style , the brits had commented at he time , it costs enormous amount of money to keep gandhi in poverty.Also he had sold himself to the birlas and all the mercantile class.

    Gandhi: Why?
    Nahari: Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my son! [indicates boy's height]

    he sowed the seed of hindu muslim hatred in india.rss was butchering muslims only because they were ignored in power sharing.power was shared between banias and socialist brhmns.sacred brhmns were not given anything.though they were fighting 100s of years and reached very close to corridors of power.but ahmad shah abdali in 3rd battle of panipat finished their dream.with very high casaualities.that is why chitpavans killed him.
    he was not innocent.
    he told zionist churchill to go on withdrawing till hitler feel ashamed and go back.churchill was stund.while he himself flew to jammu to bless indian army in 1947.
    he hurted india more than he served.partition was crime against humanity.

    stand taken by bhagat singh bose etc was based on truthfulness and honesty.

    I am sure one can collect all these and more incidents of these kind and then construct a negative image of Mahatma. However, you will find that I am not about to do that.

    I suggest that you read Pankaj#1’s post which clearly suggests that Mahatma communicated largely in symbolic terms. It seems you are interpreting these events literally and that is why, I believe your conclusions are not sustainable.

    I am not sure how you can conclude that he sowed the seeds of Hindu Muslim hatred, which I am sure pre-dates him by several hundred years. His aim was to reconcile the two communities, but communal elements of both sides made sure that they thwarted his reconciliatory efforts.

    Advising Churchill to withdraw until Hitler felt ashamed is best understood from the POV of pacifism. A hindu equivalent of turning the other cheek.

    to yeh satya ahinsa parmo dharma kya.to crush somebody love is torture and voilence.vijay laxmi used to stay with dr syed after marriage was immoral and sin.but who forced her into this situation.rahul and rajiv were illegetimate from any angle u see.who is responsible for this.
    he was singing songs of hindu revivalism instead of indian modernism.regarding word hindu.hindu is nationality not religion.whether u read gita quran or vedas.as far as ulive within geogerphical boundries of hindustan u r hindu.but through conspiracy he removed
    few from this circle.one of them are muslims.
    if he was really apoistle of peace why he was keeping geeta under his pillow all the the time.it is war story which also confirms that man is born unequal.on the battlefield lord krishna orders arjun to kill all his cousins and uncles.women is kept ouside caste so dalits.i am not critisizing the holy scripture but it is not fit for apostle of peace.he is full of contradictions.anyhow he is not the father of our india he is the father of their india.
    And the tragedy of India is this unrepresentative, anti-social minority fascist voice is called the “public opinion”.

    if any good-hearted, far-sighted, impartial, noble historian were to come in future, she or he can write the sordid, atrophied, violent, criminal past of India only in letters of blood.

    pork bussines,pork is part of tradition not religion.i have seen thousands of muslims mostly iranis eating pork.apart from this even jaswant singh has confirmed that pakistan was imposed on muslims he was the advicate of raja saheb mahmoodabad.who made him the spokesman of muslims.when ghandhi came ,he was laeding india.after arrival of ghandhi he was hounded out from indian politics by hindu fundamentalist and fascists.ghandhi too was first a hindu revivalist,then an india.he was darling of zoinist and brhmnst media as he was unfolding their game of dividing india,through blood bath.so he left india and settled in london.till raja saheb mahmoodabad requested him to back and lead muslims.he was never a practising muslims.
    all the practicing muslims was opposed to partition as diving the nation on religious ground is against the basic tenets of islam.even jamat-e-islami was opposed.

    CREATION OF PAKISTAN WAS THE RESULT OF TENSION AND FEAR BETWEEN HINDU CAPITALISTS AND MUSLIM LANLORDS.NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION.THAT IS EVEN NOW QUALITY OF WINE IS BETTER IN ISLAMABAD THAT DELHI.

    In 2000, the USA magazine did an international poll to decide the most influential ppl of the last 100 years. No 2 was Einstein, Gandhiji was no 1.
    Jinnah was not in the top 100, would not perhaps feature in the top 1000. For most of the world it is Jinnah who.
    Indians should hold their head high that such a great soul who shall be remembered for the next 100 years, was born in their land.

    ~~~ ! ~:D ~ HOW VAJPAYEE WENT WRONG ON BOFORS ~~~ :D ~ ! ~~

    Sincce Prabhat raised this question as a sort of taunt on why BJP failed to nail Congress on Bofors, here is my answer. I am not BJP guy and probably will never join a political party. But I am an engineer with some interest in writing and humn psychology.

    Imagine the year 1999 when a bachelor with old world values like chivalry, politeness and a poetic flavour takes reins of the Government. He is not vindictive and is human to the last dot.

    As PM he can easily set the CBI hounds on the reputation of a dead Prime Minster called Rajiv Gandhi. Especially since kickbacks were taken as it has been pro ved time and again.

    But then what does Vajpayee do?

    he decides to be human. He looks at the widow of the dead man and two children. And decides enough is enough. India must move on. maybe he was foolish as a politician. But then that is Vajpayee….

    Pity, that the Congress does not recognise the huge favour done to it.

    The same Vajpayeeji – had written to P.V. Narsimha Rao on accepting the offer made by Hinduja brothers to Indian investigators. This would allow the investigators to look into one of the Swiss Bank accounts into which the alleged Bofors payoffs were made.
    Now Correct me if I’m wrong here , in 1992 as well we had the widow and two children , correct ?
    Actually , the scars of losing life partner would be much more fresh then.
    So , my question is – were you serious when you wrote this argument ?

    A deliberate and focused campaign.

    People in local trains and buses and near Mother Diaries in early morning have started discussing openly about it. They sneer at Gandhi in the same manner they used to do while talking about Sonia Gandhi. It is the same set of people who have been very active about Sonia bashing. This group proudly identify themselves as the foot soldiers of BJP.

    Like we have duels sometime on this blog,I too have little duels with them on regular basis.

    Students in class V also know that Sonia Gandhi is not related to M K Gandhi.

    @GOPI- agree with most of what you say about BJP’S lack of national success, and SHENOY, I am a very active critic of Islamist violence, which in India has existed in various forms from time immemorial- from Ghazni to Aurangzeb to Ghazi Ilm Din to Moplah and Hyderabad razakars to Dawood and co to Kasab and kashmir.

    However, SHENOY and GOPI- I SAY SOMETHING PROVOCATIVE- and that is that the events which started by an inocuous rath yatra, led to riots and then to Babri demolition, triggered a frightening backlash by the Islamists with numerous bomb blasts and the rise of Dawood to the terrible Godhra tragedy followed by Guj killings- all of which shook India to the core.

    And therefore while 99% of the blame can be laid at the door of Dawood and SIMI etc, the crucial 1% isd laid at the door of Advani- an intrinsically decent but misguided individual.

    OK Shan;
    let us start from here, if you are in UK, I am in North America. If you left India in your teenage, I left India, when probably, again probably, you were not not born. Let us go from here. My ignorance for current affaitrs in India can be excused, but I visit India very often, and it is not same India, which I left few decades back. But for some reason, as they say I can not keep India out of me. Who said , Gandhi to be Mahatma, not me. But was he not person extraordinay? Yes or NO?. Was he not above us mundane people, Yes or NO? I am still a conservative Hindu, any problem? I still believe in Varnashram, You have full liberty to challenge it, but challenge it with logic.Do you know, what is Varnashram, No you do not know, Varnashram has nothing to do with caste. Please go to google or what ever source you have, for Varnashram. Just for your information,Nazma Heptullah, grand daughter of Maulana Azad is in BJP. This is an aside. So what you understand with word Ram Rajya, I am not speaking about Muslims, I am asking you, what you understand with these two words, Ram Rajya. Period. OK, So, there was hardly any follower of Gandhi amongst muslims, so whose fault it is? Though still I can remember that apart from Maulana Azad, even, Hassan Shahid Suharawardy, was greatly impressed with Gandhi, when his fast, stopped, great Calcutta killings. How about Gaffar Khan, Sarhadi Gandhi, who said on partition, that you have left us to Wolves.I am not sure of Mohammad Ali brothers, but they were not all that opposed to Gandhi, as per my impression. I do not know, what is your source of information, but there are many factual mistakes with your statement. Will you please elaborate, on when Gandhi’s prefererred candidate was defeated, he back stabbed netaji? Please let me know. You are , in this post, approtioning Shahnawaj Hussain, who was as much dear to us as Ashfakullah khan. heard about him? Very conveniently, you speak of Shahnawaj, who is dear to us as well, but here you forget about Sehgal and a Sikh gentelman, who were as important as Shahnawaj. Again, you are ascribing this statement of ” it is very expensive to keep Gandhi in his poverty” to Britishers, while this was said by Sarojini Naydu. Definitely, your sources are compromised. Having said this, I will still love to talk to you, with all the sources at your and my command.

    Gurudev Ravindarnath Tagore bestowed this accolade upon him and not many people have challenged it since.

    In Hinduism or in India we do not have a process of beatification by which we can convert ordinary people into saints, but we are able to recognise a person who is out of the ordinary and therefore is a Mahatma.

    I am firmly of the opinion that Gurudev correctly recognised a Mahatama when he saw Gandhi.

    Obviousoly none of us was theer when Mahathma strode India. It is easy to peel off one aspect, one instance and remove the man from His full context. Revisionist historians put their colours to sell books.

    At the end of the day, He will continue to be respected as Mahathma, long after we are dead and gone. Future students all over the world will study about him; many will do PhDs about aspects of him. Books will continue to be written about him. peaceful revolutions, like Tahir and Tunisia, will spread out following Him.

May be, I told you that I am a conservative hindu, by that, I meant, I will not critcize hinduism just for the sake of criticizing. Any bad practice in hinduism, I will never support. In my previous posts, have you discovered any inkling to this effect? For such an old religion, when it is not a regimented religion like semitic religion, it is just normal to gather few bad practices and I am against them. My company employ people from every religion, they come in, purely on merit, religion is their personal affair. I know, giving bad news to a patient, which you have to, you also provide a napkin for tears. So, even when you have to break a bad news, try to be empahatic, if not sympathetic.

    The best thing to hapen to India was Pakistan. So that men like tajender , duplicitous deceitful bigots who believed in a religious state, with even deceitful names to hide their identity, can have a homeland , where riminals and barbarians , from JeM to Let, from Jinnah to Yahya to Zia to Kayani, can live and prosper.

    So why are Aurngzeb-jinnahAl-Qaida-Taleban’s progeny poking their nose here as Pakistan lives under the rule of drones, al-qaida and every possible terrorist organization ?

    Indians , irrespective of religion, are blessed to have the adherants of Jinnah’s bigoted and dirty political-religious ideology , out of India into ‘land of the pure’ also known as trashcan of the world.

    Rajiv,

    you are very harsh, unkind and judgemental towards the great Moghul emperor, Aurangzeb. Are you are aware that:

    1.He loved all Hindus and Hindus in turn loved him so much that they voluntarily converted to Islam and were gifted skull-caps stitched by him with his own hands.

    2 The stubborn, unloving kind of Hindus too loved him so much that they willingly paid a benevolent, un-punitive tax called Zajia, for the purpose of boosting India’s GDP. In fact it formed 17.5% of the 25% of world’s GDP that India under Aurangzeb was recording.

    3. He also loved his brothers, one of whom he wanted to become emperor instead of himself, but they preferred to sit inside jails and voluntarily became blind.

    4.He loved Hindus so much that he could not bear the thought of Muslims praying separately from Hindus, which was why he constructed a mosque right beside Kashi Vishwanath temple.

    5. Despite his great and enduring love for the Hindus, 36% of his capital city remained stubborn, refusing to convert to Islam.

    1. being king he was loving his subjects no doubt.regarding conversion.u brhmns are only 2%.u are brhmn first and hindu second.if moghul wanted forced conversion,u will be muslim by now.mughul goverment was run by brhmns.chandu khatri of lahore was primie minister and raja jai singh was c-n-c.mass conversion took place during british rule not during muslim rule.under their rule bengal and punjab became muslim majority.

    2.jaziya was tax to finance war effort.not applied on brhmns and rajputs and muslims.

    3.regarding brothers,ashok killed his 99 brother to become ruler.this requirement of system.
    everybody did it .

    4.kashi vishwa nath was demolished by rajput army of moghuls.when pujaris drugged their women and robbed them in the basement of temple.it is only on the order of aurangzeb that temple was rebuilt.i dont see anything wrong in having mosque and temple side by side.
    in dubai jama masjid ,gurudwara and 2 temples are in same compound.in istamboul u can see grand muslim mosque church and synogouge in the same street.

    Jinnah was just not a bigot but a duplicitious heinous criminal, who neds to be hanged as many times as many Hindus, sikhs and muslims were murdered in 1947 riots.
    If you really want to read Jinnah, go and read Jinnah’s speech in annual Muslim conference in Lahore in 1940 or so. His speech there is no different from the speech of criminals in Lashker-e-toiba, JeM and such criminal organixations. His speech after getting Pakistan is irrelevant as he did nothing to stop the cold blooded murder of Hindus in Pakistan while Gandhi did his best to protect Muslims in India, is anathor reminder of what a thug and criminal Jinnah was.
    Thats the reason why 85% Indian Muslims, including greats like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, chose to stay in India, while Jinnah got his religious thug state and went on to murder all Hindus and Sikhs.

    Criminals like Aurgzeb, Jinnah, LeT chief, JeM chief are jewels in the crown of the Islamic , criminal entity of Pakistan and thugs and petty criminals like tajender live there.

    Why Jinnah and his ideology even worse than Taleban, Aal-Qqaida and much more heinous
    ———————————————————————————————————————————–

    Taleban, Al-Qaida, LeT, JeM did not kill millions of inncocents in 1947 and 1971.
    Jinnah , Muslim league and Jinnah’ ideology of statehood based on religious identity did.

    People forget that absolute carnage and killing of Hindus and Sikhs happened in Jinnah’s Pakistan, in 1947-48, much before Zia or Taleban or LeT came.
    LeT, Qaida did not reduce Hindu Sikhs in West Pakistan from 22-25% of population to 1 pct.
    Jinnah and his Pakistan did so, much before general Zzia-ul-Haq came.

    Congress, Gandhi, Nehru did not fight for a religious state of Hindus but a secular state.
    Gandhi considered Hindus and Muslims as his two eyes, equally dear. However, it was Jinnah’s ideology that emphasized religious denomination as the supreme identity , over-riding everything else and negating everything else.

    Never forget, the first mass riots happened in 1946. engineered and planned by Jinnah and Muslim league, in direct action day in the bloody august of 1946. 1 year before 1947.

    Why just 1947 ? In 1971, that same state born out of criminal bigotry, killed million and more Bengali Muslims and Hindus. 10 million refugees fled East Pakistan as Jinah’s state unleashed mass carnage.

    Pakistan is born out of blood of the innocent, born out of hate and is cursed by the millions of innocent Hindu, Muslim and Sikhs who have been killed by the state ideology in 1947, 1971 and through out its history.

    As compard to what Jinnah and his Muslim league and his ieology did, Taleban and Alqaida, look like small time petty criminals.

    This directly lead to a three way division of East Punjab.

    Jinnah was worse than Taleban and Al-Qaida. What did he do to protect the minorities during 1946 day of direct action and 1947 riots ? Congress leaders, fasted and went and lived among refugess displaced by rioting to stop it. Jinnah incited the rioters in 1946 when he said I will have India divided or destroyed. He mocked Gandhi’s efforts to stop rioting and refused to join him in peace march.

    Jinnah was a conniving, dishonest person who did not keep his promises.
    You have to read what happened to Mr Mandal, a low caste Bengali Hindu, who sided with Jinnah and voted to keep Muslim league in power in Bengal in 1946. After partition he migrated to Pakistan only to complain 3 years later that his idea that Muslims and low caste Hindus were in similar situation was such a false notion and how not a single Hindu women, was to be found between the ages of 12 and 30, as they have been wither abducted, killed or forcibly converted.
    Jinnah promised the heavens to Sikhs, low caste Hindus, Kashmiris , if only they would support him.
    Both Sikhs and Kashmiris must be grateful to their leaders that neither Sheikh Abdullah and Sikh leaders like Master Tara singh and king of Patiala believed in the tall promised that this cunning, criminal, duplicitious man made.

    The Bengali Muslims fell to Jinnah’s charade in 1947. They had to pay for that sin by sacrificing millions more in 1971.

    If Jinnah had asked for a federal structure or a seperate state based on geography , that would have some merit. But once he brought the concept of religion as the national identity, he made a pact with the devil.

    @Mishra,
    You confuse a irreligious man like Jinnah, with secularism. In his personal life, he was not a ptacticing Muslim. He could not read Urdu but planned to force Urdu down the throat of Bengali Muslims in East Pakistan.

    Yes he drank wine, ate pork, married outside Islam and then disowned his daughter when she did exactly the same thing, married a Parsi. Dos that make him secular ? No , it makes him a hypocrite, duplicitous man with no conscience and ethics. When his political career required that he mouth secularism, he did so. When he thought his political career would be helped by arguing how Muslims and Hindus cannot live together and make religion his supreme identity, he did so.
    He showed no remorse when more than 5000 people were butchered on his call for ‘Day of direct action in 1946 August.”. He often mocked Gandhi and had a small, mean character.
    He was a monster and a vile one at that.

    @Ravi,
    Advani and Jaswant are highly critical of Jinnah in many parts of the book and ofcourse those parts are not news. There attempt is to evaluate Jinah so as to put part of the blame for partition on Nehru , by arguing that in personal life and sometims in politics, Jinnah was not a muslim ideologue. However both of them display indirect support to such pernicious and contemptous ideas that would have sanctified Jinnah’s demands for religion based reservations in parliament and assemblies. If Congress/Gandhi/Nehru had acceptd that demand then may be India would not have been divided in 1947. But what would we have gained ? We would have gotten a rotten constitution where religion reigned supreme. That entity would have rotted and perhaps died by now or else engaged in a civil war.
    Thanks to Nehru/Patel that they were ready to accept a truncated India, but not ready to accept a rotten, religion-defined-citizenship and laws in a territorially bigger India.

    I would like to enter the debate you have initiated but it is getting late in the day and I had to do so many things yesterday, which are still incomplete. I also think that by the time I write, Vinod will come with a new blog. Nevertheless, I will try to continue with your theme. I liked your modus operendi, of throwing a provocative theme at audience and getting different views, instead of passively reacting to situation arising out of multitude of views.

    @Mishra,
    If Hindus demanded a nation for Hindus, then the Hindu right wing would legitimitely claim that the nation was created for them and we would become a theocratic state , where everyone would cliam to have the correct interpretation of the divine scriptures.
    Even in face of grave provocation, as Pakistan launched a hlocaust on Hindus and Sikhs, Indian Hindu people resisted the temptation to identify India with Hinduism and took constitutional safeguards for it. Maulana Azad, Fakruddin Ali Ahmed, Zakir Husain went on to become prsidents of India as Pakistan made a constitutional amendment banning non-Muslims from becoming prsident.
    Its downright fraudulent to look for any similarity between the political history of India and Pakistan since 1947.
    India is secular not because Muslims or Jews or Christians demand it its because majority of Hindus see the dangers of a state based on religion and how dangerous it can be.

    Few days back a Pak newspaper published the anguished letter of Mandal, after his resignation from Pak cabinet in 1950, protesting the utmost criminal conduct of Jinnah’s Muslim lague towards Hindus, even the lower castes ! The treachery of Jinnah and the religion-based political identity he inspired, will devour Pakistan and maybe then something sane will emerge from the ashes.

    With all due respect to your professional status, Dr. Mishra, don’t you think, when nobody cares to reply to your question, either the question is from a twisted mind or that it is really a very silly question.

    news item on Mondal from daily times, Pak

    The Great Calcutta Killing, as the events starting August 16 came subsequently to be known, set off a series of Hindu-Muslim violence in various parts of India, the deadliest being in the eastern Bengal district of Noakhali on October 10 where Hindus were targeted. Many viewed that as a direct response to the Calcutta carnage, which Muslims believed had left more of their own community dead, injured and homeless.

    Mandal worked ceaselessly to help restore normalcy, going around the district and its surrounding areas from village to village and calling upon his followers to stay away from the frenzy. He also saved the Muslim League government from falling in Bengal. Immediately after the Calcutta riots, a no-confidence motion was moved against Suhrawardy.

    Together with his group of scheduled caste legislators, Mandal was able to bring around not just another four assembly members from the Harijan community who had earlier sided with the Congress but also an additional four belonging to the Anglo-Indian group.

    Before the month of October 1946 ended, Mandal was taken completely by surprise when Suhrawardy, on the instructions of Jinnah, approached him with the offer of a seat as a Muslim League nominee in the contemplated joint Congress-League interim government of India that was to oversee the transition of power from the British rule to the two new states of India and Pakistan that were to emerge after partition.

    He left Bengal for New Delhi to take up his position as law minister in the cabinet headed by Nehru. He was one among just four Muslim League nominees. After the creation of Pakistan, he moved to Karachi. Such was the trust reposed in him by Jinnah that Mandal came to occupy the prestigious position of chairman of Pakistan’s first constituent assembly. He was subsequently appointed law minister — a position he held till he resigned.

    The resignation letter he addressed to Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan on October 8, 1950 is an eye-opener. The 8,000-word document is a painful record of the entire period of Mandal’s crucial and unstinting support to the Muslim League for the creation of a homeland where the millions condemned by caste Hindus could lead a free and peaceful life as equal citizens. That included not only his own community of the achhoot but the equally despised Muslims — the maleechh (impure or unclean).

    Jinnah had reinforced the same vision for Pakistan in the policy statement he made at the opening session of the constituent assembly on August 11, 1947. But the country he had created was already lost to him and usurped by a coterie of carpetbaggers within his most trusted lieutenants. What better proof of that than the fact that the same historic speech of Jinnah was censored by the government of Pakistan?

    Mandal’s resignation letter is a must read for all those who want to understand where, how and when Pakistan went wrong and who started it all. Most horrifying are the details of the excesses against innocent Hindu men and women by the early rulers and the army of Pakistan as recorded by Mandal. At one point, he notes that the only reason the abduction and rape of Hindu girls in East Pakistan had reduced to a certain extent was that no caste Hindu girl between the age of 12 and 30 had been left in the province by then.

    @Mishra

    Excerpt from Presidential address by Jinnah at annual Muslim league conference in Lahore, 1940

    Here Jinnah is arguing why Muslims cannot live in a Hindu majority state and is heaping scorn on Gandhi/Nehru/Congress concept of nationality that is not based on religion.
    From 1940-1947, Jinnah became even more cunning and scheming figure trying to prove why Muslims cannot live in undivided India.

    “It is extremely difficult to appreciate why our Hindu friends fail to understand the real nature of Islam and Hinduism. They are not religions in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders; and it is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality; and this misconception of one Indian nation has gone far beyond the limits and is the cause of more of our troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, and literature[s]. They neither intermarry nor interdine together, and indeed they belong to two different civilisations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspects [=perspectives?] on life, and of life, are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Mussalmans derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, their heroes are different, and different episode[s]. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other, and likewise their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent, and final. destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.

    This is not some theocratic mullah or Taleban arguing. Its Jinnah making a case why Muslims cannot live in a non-Muslim majority state.
    .
    So as per Jinnah’s logic, Hindus cannot live in Muslim majority state and Muslims in Hindu majority state.
    Jinnah was right about Pakistan, where Hindu and Sikhs were killed or expelled and practicaly wiped out.
    However, Jinnah was wrong about India, as Muslims in overwhelming majority chose to stay in India and today make the same % of the population in the territories that make India today, as they did before partition.

    @Rajiv, there is no denying that jinnah was spot on , on the historical facts. However he got it wrong about posterity. Though by no stretch of imagination one can say hindus and muslims have ceased to be what jinnah described about them or in MANY cases still the gulf is unbridgable. However , he underestimated the power of humanism and popular culture to transcend these barriers.

    I think by putting up such questions you only give a handle to fanatic Islamic terrorists to justify their actions.

    Since you stay in UK you may be well awarre that a substantial portion of the population is now Asian.

    Now do you see any movement o convert this into a HIndu-Sikh or Buddhist state?

    No you won’t.

    Ah, yes there is a movement among some Mulsims to have separate Islamic laws. Sharia and a strong conversion program so that eventually the UK becomes Muslim.

    Panditji have got it horribly wrong. Hinduism is not a congregational religion. Also Post British , hindu intelligentia has moulded itself on the image of LIBERAL HUMANISTIC SECULAR SCIENTIFIC protestant societies.Islam is an alien religion , and its HQ is in the sands of arabia. ESSENTIALLY ISLAM IS THE NATIONAL IDENTITY OF ARABS. The subcontinental FRANCHISEE had no scope like their hindu brethren to reorganise and reform AS THEY WERE A FRANCHISEE .
    Also hinduism as jinnah rightly says is DIFFERENT. It is not built on the concept of QUOM.
    Thus hindus cannot simply live as equals in a muslim country UNLESS THOSE COUNTRIES BECOME SECULAR. Islam has crystal clear rules about the NON BELEIVERS. Hindus also have fair share of prejudice , but then india did not become THEOCRACY.This is the reason WHY MUSLIMS IN PAKISTAN WILL SELL THEIR SOUL TO LIVE FREELY LIKE A MUSLIM IN INDIA, WHEREAS HINDUS IN INDIA WOULD RATHER COMMIT SUICIDE THAN LIVE IN PAKISTAN.

    Question of the day? : Who gets the virgins? The suicide bombers who blow themselves up or the

    Big question for all of us: Since some Chinese engineers have been killed, should we not warn China

    Mishraji, bhaut khush keeta. Tusi mirchhaan laga detey ho. What a brilliant way of provoking a response on a question that has relevance even today.
    My answer would be that there are relatively fewer differences between the Irish and the English, and many more between the muslims and the hindus/sikhs. And yet the 3 million Irish strained every ounce of their strentgh for independence.
    And tehn having got their independence from UK, they join the EU where independence stands for nothing as an Irishman can walk into London, work here, buy a retirement flat in Spain and have his pension fund in rich Germany.
    so, azaadi is confusing. Jo aaj hai, woh kal nahin. What applied in 1920-40- the fear the paranoia, may not be there today. Or may be less.

    Dr. Mishra,

    you posed a question, a hypothetical one, thus:

    “if the roles were reversed. Imagine if we hindu-sikhs were to be a substantial minority in a huge muslim land about to become independent of the Europeans.
    Would we not have said- we are in majority in these areas, we do not wish to live under Islamic culture. We would like to have our own nation. Anything wrong with that?”

    Vijay Kumar and Rajiv replied to the same, but, you said, “rajiv, I respect your anguish over the zillion atrocities committed by the Islamists. But with due respect neither you nor Vijay has answered my question.”

    Again Rajiv attempted an answer, still you said, “But you have still not addressed the question- I repeat-….”

    Ravi too “attempted” in an oblique way by saying, “One does not have to imagine anything in order to be able to answer your question”

    Pankaj ji too respionded thus:Mishraji; I would like to enter the debate you have initiated but it is getting late in the day…….”

    It was at this stage that I said that nobody cares to reply to your question.

    But, still, I replied that “Simply put, the roles can never be reversed.”

    If there was an avalanche of responses to your question, the way you wanted it answered, I am not finding it. May be it is hidden within so many other things said here.

    In all seriousness, I would suggest that you, Dr. Mishra, study carefully, what Vijay Kumar said in response.

    Earlier, you brought back Ravi just when he was all set to be kicked out of this blog. This Tur-d scum too gets a lot of encouragement from you, which he values greatly and is grateful for. Thus, with these Pakistanis you are very popular.

This was hitting below the belt, you are not responding to shan or Ravi or Tajinder. I know, some time, Shenoy use scalpal in place of FNAC, but this does not take away his insight, deft use of language and very good diagnosis. Treatment he seldom gives. Your comment as him being Jealous, suggest some authoritarian streak. He is still cynosure of many readers including me.

    Shooting from the hip is alright, but if you hit below the belt it hurts.

    Where does the question of my becoming jealous of Dr. Mishra or you or anybody else arise?
    All of you are fellow bloggers and when one likes somebody’s post one says wah, wah or merely chuckles, he, he, he. If one doesn’t like somebody’s post one also replies to it in his own way.

    Coming to Dr. Mishra’s “yaksha prashn”, many have given many replies, including me. Question was whether he was accepting those responses as the fittest reply to his prashn.

    “Your question may be good for intellectual debate but are not related to the ground realities of the age. ” AND “I think by putting up such questions you only give a handle to fanatic Islamic terrorists to justify their actions….”

    These were two posers to Dr. Mishra from Vijay Kumar, which only go to show that each one here has a different perception of the issues being discussed. If I question some of your propositions, why do you conclude that I am jealous of you? If that were the case, the Tur-d here would have blown himself away with the deadliest RDX available with the ISI.

    tell me anything specific which is wrong.brhmns are playing the game of enslavement by pitting one community against other the game for muslim enslavement is as follows,

    Muslims number about 15% of India’s population — but reduced to not only dirt poor but denied all human rights. In Bihar and Bengal, where they form a sizeable population, they can’t even open their mouth. The trick adopted by the micro-minority Brahminic rulers to break the backbone of Muslims is like this: Hinduise (enslave) the non-Hindu, if not anti-Hindu, SC (20%), ST (10%) and BCs (30%) and instigate them against Muslims. Even while using this three sections to break the back of Muslims, the rulers saw to it all the three become obedient slaves. With over 85% of Indian population of 1,300 million becoming paupers, the whole country is in a state of coma. No doubt the Muslims are maintaining their identity but the money-driven society, which the Brahminists launched, did not spare the Muslims. And here lies the danger of Muslims losing even their identity.

    Hopefully now, given the facts that Jinnah and his Muslim league and its adherant criminals , killed more populace in 1947, 1947-1971 , including millions of Bengali Muslims and have annhilated Hindu-Sikh population in West Pakistan, long before Taleban or Zia-ul-Haq came, we cam move on to Jinnah’s other quote, often quoted in Pak press “Every successive government in Pakistan, will be worse than its previous one”.

    I guess he was just trying to say, while he himself as a great criminal, the others that would follow him would be greater. Well I disagree. In the history of the subsontinent , there has never been a greater killer and thug than Jinnah .
    ****-tajinder is the progeny of his ideology, just as Lashker-e-toiba, Jaish-e-mohammad are.

    ——————————————————————————————————————————–

    “Pakistan is so famous for treachery that it is said they can get milk from a bull. They have two tongues in one mouth, and two faces on one head so they can speak everybody’s language; they use everybody, deceive everybody. They deceive the Arabs under the guise of Islamic nuclear power, saying that they are defending Islam and Islamic countries. They milk America and Europe in the alliance against terrorism, and they have been deceiving Pakistani and other Muslims around the world in the name of Kashmiri jihad. But behind the curtain, they have been betraying everyone.

    Their Islam and their jihad were to destroy their neighbouring Islamic country together with the infidels. They handed over their airports to the Americans so they could kill Muslims and destroy an Islamic country. Their loyalty to the Arabs is so great that they sold diplomats, journalists and mujahideen for dollars. Like animals. God knows whether they will ever use their nuclear bombs to defend Muslims and Islam. They might use their weapons- as they have used everything else- against Muslims ”

    Only protection is disangagement and isolation. Let evel self-dstruct.

    Hopefully now, given the facts that Jinnah and his Muslim league and its adherant criminals , killed more populace in 1947, 1947-1971

    all bullshit and wrong.rss(rumour spreading society )was the secret instigator of holocaust.jinnah did had any terrorist organization like rss.some thing he might have said out of provocation.he was honest secular person.u 2%brhmnst have enslaved india.for that lie and cheating is must.

    muslims acted in reaction holocaust and murder was started by hindu zoinist.for u preapared urslf for in 50 years.u silenced even ghadhi who was asking for peace.

    there are three forces of tyranny at work in this world: religious, economic, and political. Whereas the ideals for humanity are unity, justice and liberty, these elitist forces are based on counter-ideals of division, inequity and oppression. Naturally, therefore, all conflicts in human history invariably involve a struggle against one or more of these forces.

    India pre-1947 is no exception. In fact, in the early 20th century India’s people were subjected not to one form of tyranny, but to all the three.

    Economically, India’s poorest were the victims of vicious money-lending and landlord systems — mostly (though not wholly) controlled by Hindus. Whilst the Congress formally adopted a socialist policy, most of its top leaders were also capitalists. The driving influence of both the economy and the politics was Brahminist idealism, as manifested in the caste system permeating the Indian societal fabric from the top downward.

    u started voilence and continuing it by planting bomb here and there and blaming it on muslims.
    i told u before u are secret insitagors of all holocaust in the sucontinent including 26/11.

    The socio-political problems are a collective symptom of an old psychological problem
    From an international perspective, today it is economically and politically strong, and it is officially the world’s largest democracy; but according to those millions still living at the bottom strata of its society, hardly anything has changed at all since independence. They have not benefited from India’s material successes, and the reason is rooted in history.

    We need not ask whether the Pakistan demand was a serious one or not. The divisive nature of Brahminism made some sort of Hindu-Muslim separation inevitable.that is why i wrote earlier,

    Extra! Extra! Mullah Omar arrested in Pakistan
    BY NADEEM F. PARACHA ON MAY 13TH, 2011 | COMMENTS (207)

    ISLAMABAD: In a daring raid, Saudi Special Forces arrested renegade Afghan leader, Mullah Omar, from a famous five-star hotel located in one of Pakistan’s most popular vacation spots – Bhurban.

    The news spread like wildfire and people were seen cursing the Pakistani government for allowing the Americans to undermine Pakistan’s sovereignty – again.

    However, when it became clear that the raid was not conducted by the Americans but the Saudis, the frowns turned into smiles and many were heard saying, ‘Jazzakallah!’

    Only minutes after the raid, Pakistan’s prime minister and Army Chief appeared on state-owned television and congratulated the nation and thanked the Saudi regime for helping Pakistan in its war against terror.

    Interestingly, religious parties like Jamaat-i-Islami, (JI) Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) and some banned sectarian organisations, along with Imran Khan’s Pakistan Thereek-i-Insaf (PTI) which had originally called a joint press conference to condemn the raid, changed their stance half-way through the conference when told that the raid was by Saudi forces and not the Americans.

    Munawar Hussain, JI, chief, was first heard lambasting Pakistan’s PPP-led civilian government for letting the country’s sovereignty be violated by the Americans, but after a reporter confirmed that the raid was executed by Saudi forces, Munawar turned to Imran Khan and embraced him.

    ‘Mahshallah!’ he exclaimed. “Today is a glorious day for our Islamic republic!”

    Imran Khan and JUI chief Fazalur Rehman had earlier questioned the real identity of the man arrested from the five-star hotel, saying that even if it was Mullah Omar, we should be ashamed because Omar was a freedom fighter, conducting a liberation war against the Americans.

    However, after it became clear that the arrest was made by Saudi forces, both Imran and Fazal then claimed that Mullah Omar was no friend of Pakistan and that he was not even a Muslim.

    In a joint statement, JI, JUI and PTI, congratulated the nation and said that they had been saying all along that the Taliban were Pakistan’s greatest enemies and should be exterminated.

    The statement also said that the PTI and JI will continue to hold sit-ins against American drones which were parachuting evil men like Mullah Omar into Pakistan and violating the sovereignty of the country. For this, the statement suggested, that Ahmad Shah Abdali should be invited to invade Pakistan and defeat the Americans.

    When told that Abdali died almost two hundred years ago, PTI and JI termed this to be nothing more than western propaganda.

    Imran Khan added, that from now on he should be addressed as Imran of Ghaznavi and that one of Pakistan’s most prominent revolutionary and youngest nuclear physicists, Zohair Toru, was building anti-drone missiles.

    Toru, who was also present at the conference, confirmed this while licking a lemon flavoured popsicle. He said it was a very hot day and popsicles helped him concentrate.

    Meanwhile, a military spokesman also held a press conference to give the media a briefing on the details of the raid.

    He said the raid was executed by Saudi Special Forces who came from Saudi military bases in Riyadh.

    The helicopters then landed on Margala Hills in Islamabad. On the lush hills, Saudi soldiers disembarked from the copters, got on camels and rode all the way to Bhurban in broad daylight.

    They were twice stopped at checkpoints by Pakistani Rangers but were allowed to cross when some Saudi soldiers said something to the rangers in Arabic. It is believed that the Saudis promised the Rangers jobs in Saudi Arabia.

    An eyewitness claims the Rangers smiled and waved to the departing camels, cheering ‘marhaba, marhaba.’

    The camel army reached the five-star hotel in Bhurban at 11:00 am and right away rode their way into the sprawling premises.

    The camels were also carrying rocket launchers, sub-machineguns, pistols, grenades and popcorn, all concealed in large ‘Dubai Duty Free’ shopping bags.

    The military spokesman added that although the Pakistan Army had no clue about the raid, there were a dozen or so Pakistani military personnel present at the hotel.

    When asked whether these men questioned the camel riders, the spokesman said that they did see the armed camels enter the hotel but the military men were at the time more interested in interrogating a 77-year-old Caucasian male whom they had arrested for smoking in a non-smoking area.

    “After the Abbottabad incident, we are keeping a firm eye on Europeans and Americans,” the spokesman said.

    Even though the white man turned out to be an old Polish tourist, the spokesman praised the military men’s vigilance. “Our country’s sovereignty is sacred,” he added.

    According to the Pakistan military, the Saudis then rode their camels into one of the hotel’s kitchens and fired teargas shells.

    This way they smoked out the chefs and their staff out into the open. From these, a Saudi commander got hold of a one-eyed chef with an untidy beard.

    The Saudi commander looked at the chef and compared his face to a photograph he was carrying. He asked: ‘Al-Mullah-ul-Omar?’ To which the chef was reported to have said: “No, al-chicken jalfrezi. Also make very tasty mutton kebabs.”

    The commander then asked, ‘Al-Afghani?’ to which the chef said, “Yes make Afghani tikka too. You want?”

    A reporter asked the military spokesman whether the Pakistani military men present at the hotel witnessed the operation. The spokesman answered in affirmative but said they didn’t take any action after confirming that Pakistan’s sovereignty was not being violated.

    The reporter then asked how the military men determined that Pakistan’s sovereignty was not being violated. Answering this, the spokesman said that since the camel riders were speaking Arabic there was thus no reason for the military to charge them with violating Pakistan’s sovereignty.

    This statement made the media men at the press conference very happy and they consequently began applauding and raising emotional slogans praising Islam, ISI and palm trees.

    Soon after the announcement that Mullah Omar was arrested by Saudi forces, the country’s private TV channels became animated. One famous TV talk-show host actually decided to host his show in a Bedouin tent. Instead of a chair, he sat on a camel wearing a Pakistan Army uniform.

    Though most of his guests — that included prominent ex-generals, clergymen and strategic analysts — praised the operation and heaped scorn at Mullah Omar, there was one guest, a small-time journalist, who disagreed with the panelists.

    He asked how a wanted man like Mullah Omar was able to live in Pakistan undetected and that too while working as a chef in a famous five-star hotel. He also said that Mullah Omar had also been appearing on various cooking shows as a chef on various food channels.

    To this, the host snubbed the journalist telling him that he was asking irrelevant questions.

    ‘But before this operation, everyone was supporting the Taliban and telling us they were fighting a liberation war against the Americans,’ the journalist protested.

    ‘No,’ said the host, ‘it was the civilian government that was in cahoots with the Taliban. It should resign.’

    ‘No,’ the journalist replied, ‘it was our agencies!’

    This made the host angry and he slapped the journalist. He threatened the journalist by saying that he would lodge a case against him in accordance with the Islamic hudood ordinance.

    The journalist responded by saying that the Saudis had violated Pakistan’s sovereignty. Hearing this, the host slapped the journalist again, saying he will get him booked for blasphemy.

    At the end of the show the host and the panelists burned an American flag and sang the Pakistani national anthem in Arabic. Then, after handing over the treacherous journalist to the authorities, they proceeded to Saudi Arabia to perform hajj.

    However, they were soon deported by the Saudi regime for violating Saudi sovereignty.

    Mishraji;
    Still lot of work is pending but this blog has a power of magnet and forces me to come back again and again. Ok, so many thoughts making a khichdi in my mind and putting them in sequence is difficult. Your theme or your your question, that had we been a Hindu majority area in predominant muslim area, would we have not asked for separate nation?
    When you say Muslim dominant area, and one very good sample is Tajinder, Tajinders in majority and my neighbours, not one but in hundreds, even calmpose will not work. OK take another example, Bengal, muslim majority, did hindus asked and initiated demand for partition, no sir, it was muslims, who started with Noakhali. Now, I transpose my self in UK, I am in majority, in say south hall or Leicester, and a situation arises, which says, you can declare your self as a hindu or sikh nation and will have no british influence on you, how many people will opt for that situation, this is my poser to you. Now, I am not saying about Bradford, but even in areas, where muslims are not even, 5% of population, are we hearing slogans of we will make britain a muslim nation eventually? Open complaints from Hindus, Sikhs, and even Chrisitans, who form a majority of UK, that muslims are targetting their women folks for pleasure or conversion, keeping their women folk in pardas, while rest of the communities are not interested in converting anybody by this coersive method. Now I leave to your judgement, what you would do in this situation, or what hindus/Sikhs will do in this situation, (minus Muslim influence, taking this is pure Hindus/Sikh versus britishers affair). In my mind, response is obvious.
    Just an aside, Tajinder is a member state, here, rest of the people are member of this UN, Vinod is UN Secretary General/ no he is in fact KHUDA, jis ki bolti jab chahe band karden. Ek Tajinder sambhal nahin raha hai, since he has become insane with indoctrination, aur Aap kahten hai millions of Tajinders ke beech main raho. Kab tak jinda bachenge.

    A very cogent, rational reply with counter posers.

    About my ’style’, you are perhaps right. The simile of scalpel and the other thing is apt. But it doesn’t take away the kernel of truth or fact from my posts.

    For that reason, if somebody says that I want them to leave this blog, well, that is an extreme conclusion, because if the fake Taj-P.a.k.i can carry on with his anti-Hindu, anti-India tirades in more than 100 posts in this blog itself, I would love to be in the company of rational beings, the more the merrier.

    oh god, the lady has no clue how Panchayat Elections are fought. Panchayat Elections are not fought on party symbols. So no party can have any claim on that. And as far as Congress’ 70% winning is concerned, they make this false claim every year. Don’t believe me, check the records.

    P. Chidambaram saved the government’s bacon after 26 / 11. Had Shivraj Patil continued till the general election, Bombay’s tryst with terror would have extracted a high political price. One hopes he can do enough with the economy to give UPA II a fighting chance in 2014.

    Sanghvi is so drunk on his hatred of MMS that he can’t see the appointment of Chidambaram for it is — a desperate attempt by the PM to save India’s sinking economy. The fact is that the PM of India has so much on his plate, that try as he might, he can’t give the economy his 100% attention, which is what it needs. Hence the need to bring in PC. This act of MMS is the very opposite of getting away from his role as a liberaliser.

    Well said. Why go far ? Once every five years or so, we have a much more authentic and larger sample size, upto 60% of the adult population, to tell us what the nation is thinking. For what it was worth, last year Anna’s movement delivered the government a dose of snake venom that almost paralysed its reflexes. Baba Ramadev, hairy armpits and all, is a bit of a caricature. A gentle nod to the agencies under the finance ministry and he will be spending a lot of quality time with his lawyers and chartered accountants.
