After exorbitant rise in food prices and sugar, Sharad Pawar’s response was poor but going by Congress rules after independendence, Congress, a party of capitalist never contained inflation and many fold increase in food prices after independence is evident. Moreover, while appointing ministers, Govt. must ensure that a person does not become minister for industry from his home state. Maharastra houses major sugar mills and Sharad Pawar should not have been Agricultural Minister. What better or clean administration Manmohan Singh, projected and perceived as honest man by Indians, provide?

It provoked you, that’s all I wanted. Enough said!

You were not being sharp. You were being obtuse.

However, enough has been exchanged on this topic, and we should move on.

The first sentence is unadultyerated lie.. i have never seen any congress man being anythgin beyond yesman to the nehru family figure.. Somehow this is being presented as virtue which it is not.

BJP is nto family rule Shiv sena could be another matetr altogether but to ask BJP men to be supine and fawning liek congressmen towards their leader is negating the intra party democracy of BJP. Everyone is free to express hsi/per opninon noone need fawn like congressmen do to the later of 10 janpath.

Dear, the article revolves around hollow personality and not substance. The comments will not be too far off, would they? I fundamentally disagree with your point of view and I had to express it in a sharp way.

Whatever we are, we have done unto ourselves – good or bad.

But when a discussion veers away from the issue to personalities, then it becomes a clear indication that objectivity is losing out.

Musnt let that happen in the interest of a healthy debate.

You did hit it out of the park with the European honour bit maam…stupid and rash…but..takes guts..the right wing is sort of like the australian team in the early part of last decade on the internet…and they are still reeling in shock and have not attacked this piece in earnest even after two days…

The sense of discipline & accountability is not a British – or should I say Italian – USP. Such characteristics are universal and cultivated in societies where merit and systems are valued more than quotas and personalities. We could not develop that sense because of intellectual lethargy and we let ’some’ leaders off the hook when they dilute democractic processes.

What you may see as aggression, I see it as a natural response to the perfidy of the mainstream media. Happy international traveling, for you.
