1. MAD have a very useless/docile AG 2. 90 year old guy is given extension 3. They are too soft and not pushing back on nasty remarks of judges which is making them bolder I came across AG Venugopal and his age when reading about him giving permission to prosecute Ajeet Bharti for contempt. I find ...

Turkey downhill-skiing again? We have seen this movie before, when Turkey shot down Russian fighters, acted tough, then quietly made up with Russia. True, there are no permanent enemies in politics or IR, but this turning-on-a-dime is paki-level. Maybe all India needs to do is to identify where the ...

… Is he though? Evidence or consequence - i think that there is a distinction here dont't you think? In hindsight, perhaps a massive PR blitz by government should have preceded the Agnipath announcement. Perhaps. But can we guarantee that opening it up to public discussion wouldn’t have bogged it d...

KLNMurthy

Despite many assurances after the Agnipath Program was introduced, retired folks keep asking for it to be tweaked. I ask how many did anything while they were in charge during their service? Basically close to zero. And they want to make India adopt US laws! BTW his last line is his real thoughts. ...

What is your hostility to a "capitalist move" ? Would you rather that the government made a communist move? Who said anything about a communist move? Do you work for the CIA? Are you un-necessarily trying to harass and bother me? Next thing you will say I am trying to advocate facism, soc...

Just saw a snapshot of BJP MP saying that Angeeveer would get security jobs after 4 years of service in the army and he would have earned 12 lakh rupees in that time. My points. 1. Reducing the dignity of serving in the army to a mere political party security guard. 2. The BJP MP is more concerned ...

I don’t know much about her but she seems to be a humble person with a dharmic background.

Cyrano garu, I was focused on India’s response to foreigners on NS episode, occurs to me that you may be referring to internal response by GoI. In which case, a response like the one you are proposing is fine I think, though of course anything could be improved. I might have added, “government will ...

KLNMurthy

My problem with the Nupur Sharma episode is that the govt'/party should have said "she was responding to grave provocation by a muslim cleric". And that's it. With respect Cyrano garu, I feel that a response like this is problematic: it puts us in the subordinate position of giving an “ex...

@shanmukh interesting point about Aurangazeb working with Hindus on one side while oppressing them on the other side. Quite true. If you are correct & Modi may be taking a similar approach, I guess I have a problem with a 21st century democratically elected national leader playing the same opaqu...

KLNMurthy

BTW, Murthy-garu and Rudradev-acharya, If you both are interested, we can write up a few proposals I have in mind to different state governments. Do let me know if you are - we can take this elsewhere and discuss. Sincerely appreciate the invitation Shanmukh garu. Let me figure out how I can follow...

KLNMurthy

I have to agree nearly 100% with @Rudradev. That “nearly” is only because I don’t believe there is such a thing as agreeing 100%, because on close examination differences are bound to arise. Modi sarkar is messing up royally in a great many important sectors. However, all the current rage against Mo...

BJP team looks more like 90s Tendulkar team. No idea what the rest are being paid for except collect the cheque when Tendulkar has punched 3 centuries in a row and helped them win. That unfortunately is our subcontinent leadership problem where we don’t do delegation and devolution properly. Modi h...

KLNMurthy

KLNMurthy, the question is not really about Modi per se but about the type of structure in this government. It should be the lower rung leaders and an entire media team working as a well oiled machinery that should be doing the PR job. Modi should come at the end for finishing touches like all CEOs...

KLNMurthy

@vimal short answer: Modi has to take the time to sell his reforms to the public because without rallying the masses, he is making himself look weak and inept, a very dangerous thing. Normal rules of sticking to governance don’t apply when national security is at stake. @Rudradev thanks for the deta...

KLNMurthy

There is something definitely sinister afoot. As soon as India did not side completely with US and stop all trade with Russia a lot of protests started immediately. Who the hell is financing all These protests? Agnipath scheme was not a major revolutionary step. I am quite surprised at the reaction...

KLNMurthy

You cannot send your best crowd puller batsman out to the middle when BIFs are swinging too much and neither of the umpires (Hizzoners or media) can be really trusted. So you shouldn’t send Tendulkar out to bat when opponents are raining fire with the new ball? The job of Tendulkar is to build up a...

@Rudradev and others:

What do you think is the underlying cause behind not using Modi as a spokesman-resource to the public to explain these reforms ahead of time?

KLNMurthy

Ajit Bharati, whom NaMo fans can't stand due to his hard hitting and superb lampooning has put out a very balanced analysis and reasoned defense of Agnipath. This guy is actually very good and proves that you need to .be of well above average intellect to play the jester. But this time he is not jo...

I fear I feel very much the same way. Is he not getting the IB inputs on the country etc. or are the inputs being sabotaged, I wonder? Modi and his team needs to take the blame for the same.

@Cyrano and others. I understand the level of frustration and anger at GoI inaction. There are political realities & constraints that top government leaders like Modi have to work with in a democracy. Joob of the activist looking for change is to generate a mass momentum for making that change. ...

@Abhi_G lot of very good points. I’d say the key for democratic participation for Hindus—who, as you say, have lives to run as individuals—is effective organization. This is how real work gets done, by productively harnessing and leveraging whatever time & money individuals can spare, and moving...

One more thing-- I'm not a lawyer, so any input from legal eagles here would be much appreciated on this. Can BJP (with its 300 seat majority) pass a law that allows for emergency intervention by central law-enforcement in states, without necessarily going through the whole rigmarole of dismissing ...

URGENT India/Hindus have ONE USCIRF commissioner on our side. You may not expect it, but he is the Reverend Jonny Moore (confirmed from well-placed sources).

ramana, this argument is getting a little thin at this time.

Something else? Start a war against Muslims? I have...
