Pls read these epics in your mother tongue if possible. Once you are done, I will be more than happy to answer any r...

1/ One saying India got democracy from west is proof that the person doesn't know Indian history and doesn't have time to read at least Bharatiya epics Can you or someone else, whoever is knowledgeable about these things elucidate on the following. 1. The concept of democracy and its theory, as exp...

I was serious about jettisoning democracy from India as a western construct. I did not realize KrishnaK was being sarcastic.

member_23692

Have we really changed our views or are we simply aping the west and saying things that will earn us western praise as a modern society? What is the Hindu view of homosexuality? Everything that Indian does today from a modern republican democracy to views on homsexuality is to ape the west and earn...

@ rsangram ^^^: Did he not say somewhere that he wants 'targeted subsidies' meaning cash payments to the poorest via a revamped Aadhar scheme? His latest statement through the budget itself and after the budget says exactly the opposite. Besides, the proof of the pudding is in the budget, not in st...

You cant do change overnight if you want it to stick. It depends on the change you would like to make. Some changes can be made overnight and they will stick, while others take time. Regardless, I agree with you that it is more important for the change to stick than for it to be temporary. But nowh...

Read this very interesting article on the Indian budget and what it symbolizes. Does it symbolize bold change ? Does it even proclaim a change in direction ? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/modi-surprises-leaving-india-budget-031658215.html I am extracting a quote from this article. "When for 66 ...

While discussing the merits and demerits of various philosophies and "thoughts", it is fascinating, how little time is devoted to promoting the actual practice of the preferred or the "better" thought on the ground. Is it the responsibility of the philosophy itself to also prescr...

One of the biggest conflicts I see between an Indian thought process and western universalism is the inability to define an Indian viewpoint on contentious issues. Islam is much better. There are good and firm opinions that appear from Islamic sources. But Hindus are wishy washy. We are always bala...

Folks, the stealing of the elections by the Massa/ISI/Islamist nexus is complete. Abdullah Abdullah has no more options left, as he has been warned by Kerry Kerry and Obama Obama.

Having made the mistake of allowing the Paki to have nukes in the first place (as opposed to destroying their infra-structure, while they were procuring these nukes), the way India should deal with and negate Paki nuke blackmail now is by pretending that the PAkis don't have the nukes at all, and ba...

member_23692

Nuke war at the cost of complete annihilation? Meaning they will simply cease to exist ( given the sliver of land they are ) where as India will survive albeit at great cost ( geographically India is too big to be completely destroyed by Paki nukes). You are the one making the mistake here. IMO Pak...

member_23692

India has the answer, it's called Indian nukes. Nuclear blackmail only works against a non-nuke coountry. Make no mistake, TSP wants a nuke war. Hence they keep pushing the button. They don't have too much, and in getting what they want from India including destruction of India, they see as their s...

We do not have the capability. IMO, we are restarting our covert action program.

This assumes that the government as ...

member_23692

rsangramJi, I agree with some points you make, but I think you ware showing way too much contempt for Pandits. And please, I am sick and tired of this "Jews are so great and courageous", they probably are, but you don't have to mock the poor Pandits to make your point. The Jews have the e...

member_23692

While there is all this hype about the Modi government seriously attempting to re-settle Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir, there really has been no serious movement on this effort, either on the ground or even in planning.

But bringing it up with Hasina serves no purpose as Bdesh denies any illegal Bdeshi in India. That's right. Because BD denies any illegals in India, we should stop bringing it up with them. My instincts are exactly the opposite. Dont issue any concessions to them on boundary or water or border kill...

"Does the Modi government’s stance on illegal immigration cause you concern? We heard this mentioned many times during the election campaign. We also heard about in the past. Nobody has given any clear proof that there are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh in India. Sushma Swaraj did not rais...

NYT weighs in http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/20/opinion/playing-with-fire-in-afghanistan.html The NYT fart-ed means US is against Abdullah and had the ISI fix the elections. Plain and simple. If they were neutral they never would have talked about the internal affairs. 100% accurate, Ramana. In fac...

member_23692

Abdullah is a serious contender, no doubt. Also, I do not believe that Gani would be a disaster for India. There is no problem with either of them but we might prefer Abdullah because he was very close to the Sher of Panjshir who was a great friend. Ghani did not start out that way. But over the co...

member_23692

This is the second time that Abdullah did something like this--coming so close and then pulling out in a pique. Maybe he doesn't really want to be president and prefers to criticize from outside? A bit like our own Kejriwal? Either you are horribly misinformed, Murthy or you are trying to score deb...

member_23692

I think the game in Afghanistan is over. Abdullah is gone. Pakis have rigged the election in favor of ghani. Bad bad news for India. It was never in our favor. Its like a guy loving a girl (girl loves guy equally, lets assume). But guy cannot reach girl's home to ask her in marriage - whats the use...

rsangram, what is the exact thing that is bothering you? Why is it so hard for you understand the resentment amongst the members here? It is abundantly clear that India wanted NM to be a PM.
