Adityanath and the Hindus Serious discussion takes places only when you question your own thought process in the light of what the other says. Discussion takes place when you want to know what makes the other think in a different way and if that is justified. There are many issues where both could be right or wrong!  But if you think what you say is absolutely right and the other is wrong there cannot be any meaningful discussion. Adityanath says the word "Hindu" means one belonging to Hindustan. The word is an Urdu word and came into the language after Muslim kingdoms were established here to denote that this is the nation where Hindus lived. The then Muslim invaders did not consider themselves to belong to this nation as our way of living was totally different to theirs. It should be noted that the invaders could not accept the word 'Bharat' prevalent at that time because it had political connotation inasmuch as it was derived from the name of the Indian King B
Let's not cry over split milk. Just throw it away. http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/the-buck-stops-here/watch-supreme-court-s-coal-verdict-stain-on-manmohan-s-legacy/335690?hp It is sad that comments are made without any deep thinking as to (1) why it was done and (2) then why it was continued and (3) what we should do for such things not to happen. For (1) & (2) the answer is solely because of coalition compulsions. PVR's govt was literally a minority govt and he somehow managed by making opposition parties fight with each other and taking the support of one party or the other. Coalgate was the price he paid. Vajpayee also paid the same price for the same reason. The UPA1 & UPA2 had to continue with the polity because they had introduced it originally. About question (3) We have already taken necessary steps as is evident. We now have a govt which has a clear majority in Lok Sabha and will have majority in Rajya Sabha by the time next Assebly elections are over
Whom should the world fear: The stock market bandits or the 'Terrorists'? http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/12/investing/mit-professor-scam/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 This is the naked picture of capitalism which teaches if your client/customer is an idiot, it is OK to swindle him by hook or crook. You will find this trait in almost everyone who trades in stock market or works for ANY investment company on in corporations which think their first duty is to pay as much as possible to shareholders (of course, after the senior most executives and directors take their cut). As with any criminal / immoral activity, it all starts in a very small scale and as one gets used to the poison it devours the whole system. In the 17th century there were 2 such collapses, 18th - 7, 19th - 13 and in 20th - 17. In the 21st century there have been so far 5 in these 14 years and at this rate there will be about 35 more in this century! Are we going to learn anything from this? Absolutely not. We
A JUDGE RECALLS! After retirement it is despicable for a judge to publicly speak about the corruption prevalent in higher judiciary during his active service period. He cannot absolve himself of any responsibility when he was fully aware of what was happening,  by simply pointing fingers. He proves himself a moral coward when he passes on the buck to the CJ of SC to take action and hold the bag. His accusation of several CJs that they did not act upon his reports because they did not want to rock the boat, first applies to himself. Quite possibly he got the post retirement job of Chairman of Press Council because the government and the judiciary at the time of his retirement, were aware of his complaints and thought unless he was kept happy with some job, he might spill the beans embarrassing both. Did you know that he retired as SC judge on 19th September, 2011 and was nominated as Chairman, Press Council on 5th October the same year! Just within less than three weeks! Real fa
 Real story behind Rahul's fear for the life of Sonia Gandhi! Natwar Singh turns out to be Natwar Lal! There have been reports that after Sonia met the President Mukherjee after the elections in 2004 and submiitted a list of her party members, it was considered the last step before she was called to form the govt but the President was advised subsequent to the meeting that she could not become the PM, because under the reciprocal agreement between India and Italy, Sonia could not become the PM of India because no Indian taking up citizenship of Italy, can become the PM of Italy. That is the reason MMS was appointed PM in the last minute. The truth behind the Rahul's fear for the life of Sonia was to be confirmed by Natwar Singh and therefore Sonia and Priyanka met him as he says and persuaded him to float the Rahul Gandhi angle to the story so that it will look legitimate coming from an 'enemy'. Death threat to Sonia would have continued irrespective of whether she
