We do give importance to serious matters, overlooking others not
so important or only divide our focus. What India needs after a decade of
corruption, misrule and cronyism is development, development and development.
We can keep on talking about 2002 for a century, refusing to acknowledge that
the bloodbath of millions in 1947 is a story that hardly moves now anyone less
than 60 year old. Politicians abetted by academics or self anointed editors are not willing to

eyes and ears to the fact that this is the only issue the Congress can rake up
to gather some Muslim votes. Has the Congress officially apologized for the
Emergency in which thousands of young people were castrated all over India and
many more were jailed without any cause and Fundamental Rights were abolished?
While shedding crocodile tears for the Muslims killed in Godhra, do they also
have a word of sympathy for the Hindus who were locked in the bogie and burnt

brush Godhra episode also as a retaliation to that reaction? For God's sake
care a little for the millions of living poor instead of beating your breast
for those who are no more. Don't ever mention the word 'secularism' if you
cannot help people to come together. Don't give us your new arithmetic that a
nation divided is stronger.

Ache Din for Tharoor will be when the Supreme Court acquits him of all charges. That day is most unlikely to come. "Modi Govt is continuing with the foreign policy of the previous Govt." He has not seen the reception Modi got from Indians living abroad as well as from the heads of foreign governments. Gandhi's monkey. Don't see, Don't hear and Don't talk anything good about BJP Govt. Anybody can see that the Ufa meeting was the most casual that could be. If Modi had not met the Pakistani PM, he would have been the first to accuse Modi of widening the gap and missing a golden opportunity for rapprochement. On all issues they are steadfast in having a rock hard view and that is whatever Modi does is wrong. All their arguments are based on this foundation. Poor chaps, they forget in their anxiety that a small approval now and t...
