On the one hand CPI(M) leaders boast to be non-believers in God, caste and religion? If that is the case why the top leaders and even Ministers of the same Party are visiting religious heads and community leaders after issuance of election notification? If they do something it is secular but if others do it becomes communal.

Yrs, you have a point here. However, it must be remembered that one becomes communal only if he/she allows the government policy or action to be dictated by the religious priorities. For example, one is communal if he/she whips up religious hatred or violence to secure votes - but one may not be called so if he/she only performs a Puja or visits the religious gurus.

One of the CPIM leaders and a candidate in this lokshava polls, started his election campaign after offering pujas to a hanuman temple here in Kolkata!!!
Why are we allowing parties like Congress and CPI(M) to whipe up hysteria on 'secularism' whereas they are the strongest opposers of THE UNIFORM CIVIL CODE, something that will make the law of the land, and opportunities equal for all. And what about bigger issues like helping provide opportunity for the poor to earn more through a stronger and better education system and facilities? These parties want people to remain poor so that they can keep telling them that they are 'garib' and so vote for us!
If we look around ourselves, we will see that many countries - especially the west and Japan - have been very badly affected by the global recession. Compared to that, Indian economy has been safer. The Indians are not generally feeling the pinch the same way as the Americans or the Japanese are feeling. Indeed, while some Americans are forced to return their additional bonus, the Indian government employees have in fact received a much fatter pay packet, thanks to the 6th pay commission. Like many people, I too believe that the comparative safety of the Indian economy has been made possible partly by the Left's consranr opposition to the Government of India's liberalisation process, as a result of which the Indian economy has not been made entirely open to the outside world. I am aware of the stiff anti-Ledt minsdet of some people. They may not admit this fact - but the fact nevertheless remains that the safety of the Indian economy could not have been maintained if our economy were totally made open to the world!

East or West, Left is the best!!!! Jai jodi jak pran, Hirok raj bhagwan!!!!!
In this article, it is clearly mentioned that all the good policies taken by the UPA Govt. was because of the astute brain of Dr. Manmohan Singh. Lefts did nothing.
Why do you believe, "whatever whoever is saying, Lefts are the best..."? Because you are the same old Bong whose father's generation ruined West bengal. and as Saratchandra Chatterjee wrote in "Pather Dabi"," The meat of the cows are brought out from the slaughter house by the vehicles driven by the cows."
You have a left hangover and that is enough to ruin West Bengal further.

Mr Superman, I did not say that the "Lefts are best" - did I? So, why did you give the quotation signs? Isn't this the same mindless manner in which the Left is vilified for unfounded reasons? My dear friend, I may criticide the Left dor many reasons, but I should also give them credit where it is due. Citing references to Satyajit or Sarat Chandra cannot divert our attention from this simple fact!

You are giving credit for something for which they did nothing, except fooling around people by spreading false rumours.....
I did not divert anybody....There are many reasons to be found, if one willing to....and "vilification" is the only tool which the lefts have.....
Why you give credit to them what they did not do? If somebody opposes it, it is "vilification"?
Great!!!! I put your thoughts on quote.....What you were thinking, though not uttered....

Sorry to say that you are more adept at personal attacks than logiclly coherent arguments! Don't you know that the left parties in India consistently oppose the UPA's economic policies? This is not a rumour - even the Congress leaders say that the left did not support their economic policies! Moreover, if you are that much eager about policies, wt wouldyou say about the Congress's tie-up with the TMC in West Bengal? We all know that the TMC too - like the left - oppose the UPA's economic policies, and yet the Congress ties up with TMC, while criticising the left for their economic policies!

@harmohan roy Why did the Left not oppose the decision to permit FDI to invest in Indian Media above 50%. This has virtually given full control to the foreign elements to play havoc with the Indian psyche? Today whatever the foreign controlled electronic and print media say as right is right and whatever they say as wrong is wrong.

Yes indeed, VHP is truly secular - as long as the meaning of the word 'secular' is not the same as we find in the dictionaries!
Re: Re: VHP
by Supersecualirist on Apr 01, 2009 02:29 PM
@Harmohan Roy, Please tell me the meaning of the word 'secular'. I have not come across any dictionary meaning where it says that 'secularism' can mean that in a secular country different communities can have different civil laws which is the case in India. And these 'seculars' have never opposed this imbalance.
