If you really want to fight your enemies, keep your eyes open! If you close your eyes, you can see only one color - black. Our PM has spoken many times about Hinduism NOT being a religion but a way of life. He has repeatedly said that it includes all religions and even those who are nastiks, non-believers. He has emphasized that Hinduism believes in Vasudaiva Kutumbakam. He has asserted that for him the Constitution of India is paramount, his religious principle is sarva dharma samabhavana. But what is the use? Those who want to find fault with him do that by association. It is a classic way of trying to win an argument. Like give anything a bad name to denounce it. If you want to praise India you can talk all about its Himalaya, vast beaches, rivers and what not. If you want to hate it, you can associate it with its all pervading dirt, illiterate poor, multiple religious fanatics and so on. The choice is yours. No sense in arguing one way or the other. You can wake up a man slee

Is this not serious abuse of children? Should religious freedom permit this? My heart goes out to these children studying religious texts. At an age when they should be learning so many things to prepare themselves for their glorious future, they are made to imbibe knowledge as to how to lead a life like a devout several centuries ago! Thank you Ali Akbar for throwing some light on those still wanting to live in a black hole! You have the courage to throw light in a dark dungeon. May your tribe increase by leaps and bounds. It needed great courage to expose wrong doing at the cost of your being abused. All those who are interested in child welfare irrespective of religion will be with you. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/i-was-a-victim-of-child-abuse-at-a-madarsa-filmmaker-ali-akbar/1/534266.html

HOW CAN WE HELP OUR PM? The Prime Minister had always believed very strongly in focusing on the job at hand and getting it done as best as possible. That was the reason he was not getting involved in the day to day brick batting of Congress and the opposition. All his Ministerial colleagues were following his lead almost always. For a person of minimum education and maximum experience, it was a good axiom to follow which has also given him unimaginable good results! What he did not estimate properly was how far the corrupt politicians, businessmen, intellectuals and others, who were fighting all along among themselves for a bigger share of any loot, will join hands to defeat a common enemy. If you just have a look at the 'declared' income and wealth of our Members of Parliament and the number of years they had been in office, you will find how much money they had made as politicians. They DO NOT HAVE TO DECLARE HOW THEY MADE THE WEALTH. IT Dept can take it up if permi

Chameleon Chidambaram and his amnesia! Chidambaram gives another example of his idiocy. Very cleverly he holds that even 20 years back he held the same view, as he is holding today, that The Satanic Verses, the book of Salman Rushdie, should not have been banned and the banning was wrong. But he does not respond as to why he kept his view to himself though he was the Minister of State for Home Affairs, exercising his authority or even the freedom of opinion available to him and coming out at that time with facts as he saw them. All his learning and practice of law did not stop him from protesting but he kept quiet because of his fear of retribution from his Masterni, had he done so. This is an example of his shamelessness. Note that he has not expressed any regret for his lapse even now! See how 'cleverly' he side steps the question if the Emergency was wrong! In his view it was not basically wrong when it was imposed but it became wrong once his Masterni herself admi

THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION: If electricity is generated cheaply through solar, wind, ocean waves, etc. but other than wood, coal etc. surely there will be no need to go for any polluting agents. If developed countries wants to atone for their past sins which has created the present crisis, it is for them to share with developing countries freely all the techniques for producing cheaper electricity that they have, instead of trying to make money in transfer of technology also. This is the most direct route for controlling environmental pollution by developing nations. It can never be possible to control as long as energy is costlier and forms a major part of the earnings of poor.  

Things better than rights and freedoms! Please read what is going on in Greece  http://goo.gl/w1mbO7 This is what happens when you keep on harping about your rights and freedoms. People in the lower strata of the society need livelihood to take care of themselves before wanting rights and freedoms. As this article shows when hungry even a mother can descend to monstrous levels. It is worse of Greece to sentence and fine her. The nation as a whole should have mourned for a day for having made her do it. Let's talk more about our obligations to ourselves, our family and nation before agitating for our rights. That alone will save our nation for future generations. Not getting hot under the collar for intolerance. 

Aamir Khan reading the wrong script! Sense of security and sense of justice! Please tell in which country your wife wants to go where these are available nowadays? Certainly not in the USA, the UK or Russia! I think Pakistan will suit you ideally! Kiran is asking you to get out while the going is good, because the government is tightening the noose around all those who had amassed black money abroad. Govt has not been taken in by your popular TV shows. People might think what a great person you are after seeing the shows, but govt knows you were just acting the script given to you and were paid huge sums within and outside India for the acts you put up. Just like politicians, there are others in other fields, like cinema, education, business, media, etc. with their own agenda. Time is getting ripe for their exposure. Aamir Khan should know that 'creative' people have not come straight from heaven or they are any better than any other professional. It is their job. Just li

AAMIR KHAN KO GUSSA KYON AATA HAI? Aamir Khan is past 50. In these years he has seen many ups and downs as we had all seen. Can he and all others who have become intolerant or who say they are facing intolerance, tell us truthfully what enhanced intolerance they are feeling nowadays which was not there in the last about 60-65 years? I am sure Aamir Khan will not say there has never been such intolerable intolerance! What has happened now which could be worse than demolition of Babri Masjid?  Did he issue any statement at that time? Did his wife at that time, whoever she might have been, suggest they quit India? Did his 'intellectual' fraternity also return their awards in protest? If not, why not? How did they express their sentiments? Now at worst there have been utterances by some VHP leaders about Hindus not getting their due in their own nation. Similar utterances have been made by hardcore Muslim leaders also about their not getting their share and this has bee

NOTHING TO WORRY, JUST WAIT FOR A CENTURY! Read this article: http://goo.gl/3JfCKz It is about Ahmadis, a sect of Islam populated in northeastern Pakistan. They make up approximately 3 million of Pakistan's 180 million population. If it was not reported by Reuters I would not have believed the way Ahmadis are treated and specific laws made for this community! I am not asking you to read this either to denigrate Ahmadis or Pakistan. I am asking you to think for a moment what a European will think of India when he reads that in India we are prepared to kill anyone who kills a cow! His view of India cannot be much different what our view of Pakistan will be after reading about Ahmadis in Pakistan! I assure you. What the European is going to think of Both Ahmadis and Indians? Most likely he would think we both are lunatics. Once he forms that opinion, nothing good about us will register in his mind. When he interacts with you, with his pre-conceived opinions, you will be

  HOW DO YOU ERADICATE ISIS? The safe havens are not inhabited ONLY by ISIS soldiers. Let's also not forget that had not other nations continued to buy its oil and other products paying in hard cash and armaments, ISIS would not have been able to exist, let alone grow into a monster. It is not ISIS that is the problem. The real problem is a divided world. A divided extremely SELFISH nations who refuse to unite leave alone for common good, for their own good! ISIS sure has a very large number of hostages taken by them but has also women and children and others serving them. Does the UN resolution mean 'eradicating' all these people also along with ISIS cadre? Vague resolutions with loopholes are never implemented. If you want to eradicate something, be brave enough to specify what you want to eradicate and how. We have seen that ideas, good or bad, exist for ever. Ku Klux Klan, Black shirts of Germany, Communism, religious intolerance etc. cannot be eradicated.

BEWARE OF TUTORED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES! Do our Presidents and those aspiring to become one, have their own brains? They are coached by 'experts' in every field and they have only to act as directed. While I can understand no one can be an expert in every field, at least before any election, we should be able to see how they perform when they are on their own. Or let's coach all of them on various subjects just before any debate and see who has the most potential to learn better. Presently any candidate who can afford to hire highly paid advisors can score better in the run up to the election and may prove to be a disaster later on. George W. Bush is a shining example. He was the only President who provided daily jokes in the form of his Presidential pronouncements, in spite of so many advisors. The present set up is a farce and surely will let the nation into deep trouble if the President is ill advised at any time in future by those who do not have all security clea
