hello every one...I appeal to each an every Indian here to please help in what ever way you could to help suresh survive.His condition is pathetic as he has broken every inch of his bone....plz plzz help our fellow indian.... plz follow the link www.help-suresh.org
Yes, India won the T20 World cup..so what ? Why is it necessary for a chief minister to reward players from his state? He could wish the team well and congratulate his fellow statesman but then that should generally be it..why go overboard and start dishing out land,crores of rupees,free hotel stay etc..why? By doing so,what does he achieve for the state? Ofcourse, the state cricket association needs to celebrate the performance of their key players and reward them as they deem fit..but chief ministers? What next?? The Finance Minister giving them tax exemptions ? Oh plz...grow up...Yes, They should be awarded for their performance, recognized for their contributions..yes...Khel Ratna, Padma awards yes..go ahead..no problem.We are the first to cry out when a politician tries to talk shop with cricketers.But when a politician stay away from cricket why is this a headline? For all the wrong and nasty things Mr.Modi might have done, he has got this one right.Again, did anyone hear the left parties in kerala give Sreesanth money ?? Also, last heard, he too has given some cash award !!!!

It is necesary for feudal politicians who waste public money as they want. It gives them a feel of being royalty. Alongwith with the feeling of being above the Law of land, such a feeling helps promote and maintain their ego, which, as a matter of course, are bruised everytime they go begging for votes.
Ever wonder why there is so much entusiasm in indian politicians to import and nurture captive vote banks from Bangladesh.

No congratulatory note as well??? While singing huge praises for Sunita Williums that was a great gesture.
M Karunanidhia is a polygamist. Shouldn't Dravidian Reverend Karunanidhi be prosecuted for polygamy which is illegal under the Hindu Marriage Act of the Indian constitution?
Oh, I forgot that he is a self proclaimed "Atheist" with christist leanings and a visceral hatred for all things Hindu. At any rate, even the law governing Christian marriages in India proscribes polygamy.
Personal lives of controversial public figures cannot remain in the private domain, particularly when such figures are avowed "secular rationalists".
Just one more reason for the implementation of a Uniform Civil Code. The absence of such a modern, uniform, secular, rational law to govern all communities nails the farce that Indian dhimmocracy is.
It is of course, futile to expect anything from the gutless dhimmi seculars. Unfortunately, even the BJP seems to have put this issue in cold storage.

are you cutting a cut from his amount ....you fools have no work to do ....shameful. Even the author looks like from so called "Secular" gang. I am not sure why state Govt is giving cash awards ...they already got paid by BCCI/ICC for their victory ....Did these state govt gave any awards to Hockey players .....
Why no comment has come or been made about the Punjab State Government? Nothing has been so far being mentioned about Yuvraj and Harbhajan, except for sharing awards with others; and Yuvraj getting Re. 5 crors for his sixers. Modi is being unnecessarily criticised by the communal press.

not to be rude but i thought health insurance takes care of medical expenses in America unlike in India where people have to pay from their pocket..

this student did take any courses in summer hence the health insurence does not apply to him.its very unfortunate

Just to add to that Health insurance does not cover everything in US. Most of the critical care comes from the patients pockets.
