Cold calculations

"As for the BJP's new poster boy Varun Gandhi...."

This contemptuous slip in phraseology appears to be designed to smear BJP permanently and enable UPA win.

There is enough thoughtful, sensible and competent human resource base with NDA who might still be able to convert this sneaking threat into an opportunity for a pervasive transformation of lower strata who feel deprived and enfeebled.

Those who have read Hindi literature may be aware of Nirala and have even read his poem "Vah todti patthar". BJP's Bharatiyata can empathise with such travails and bring fruits of development to these suffering downtrodden masses. BJP's Bharatiyata is indeed closer to Nirala's world view than perhaps all other political parties.

Their approach to e-Money to directly transfer dole to rural poor and their "Ladli Laxmi Yojana" carries much promise. These intents do not fit the pattern which seeks to impose a poster boy on them!

They reverberate more to constructive nation building approaches as evoked in the verse below. Get the feel !

--------------

The construction labourer
..........................
The walk,
Straight, even, weary.
Heavy sand load
Balanced precariously.

She walked small steps.
Unhurried,
Back and forth,
Shifting sand
And bricks.

She walked memories.
Husband, children six.
Endless chores,
This load and more.

She walked history
Of her people.
These buildings and monuments
Envelop their destinies

Majority are spitoons
by sg sg on Apr 09, 2009 12:00 PM

Thats the actual status of the majorities of this country and the faster they realize the better. Their lives are not going to get any better under the UPA. The congress has systematically deprived us from our heritage and culture and made the majorities hand between the devil and the deep sea. With funds from the church and guns from the jehadis the UPA enjoys the show. They are made to feel weak and threatned have no rights, as all of them have been taken. Jai ho congress and the nation tat votes for them.

Is this True seculiarism
by S S on Apr 07, 2009 11:47 PM

Sikhs getting slaughered in thousands = A MISTAKE.
Hindus getting killed in Kashmir = Political problem.
Muslims getting killed by a few hundred = Holocaust.
Poor protestors getting shot in WB under Left Govt = Misunderstanding.

Banning Parzania in Gujarat = Communal.
Banning Da Vinci Code and Jo Bole So Nihaal = Secular.

Kargil Attack = Government failure.
Chinese invasion in 1962 = Unfortunate betrayal.

Reservations in every school and college on caste lines = Secular. Reservations in Minority institutions = Communal.

Fake encounters in Gujarat [Sohrabuddin] = BJP Communalism.
Fake encounters under Cong-NCP in Maharashtra [Khwaja Younus] = Police atrocity.

Talking about Hindus and Hinduism appeasment = Communal. Talking about Muslims and Islam = Secular.

BJP freeing 3 terrorists to save 100 Indian hostages = Shameful
Congress freeing 4 militants to save just a life of one daughter of I Home minister in Kashmir [Rubina Sayed] = Natural Political dilemma.

Attack on Parliament = BJP ineptitude. Not hanging Afzal Guru the mastermind despite Supreme Court orders = Humanity and Political dilemma.

BJP questioning Islam = Communal. Congress questioning Lord Ramas existance = Clerical Error.

You are biased in your opnion. If you would ask to a dalit to give up his caste they will not. Since independence India has followed reservation system. Brahmin hardly make two percent population in India. It is upto dalit whether to stick or give up their caste.

THIS ELECTION scenario is an exception.
politicians jumping from one party to another.
they blame one party now & praise the same party after an hour.

this type of changing parties has never happened before.
still then they face press & public.Shameless creatures.
better to enjoy the election holiday for some other entertainment.

AFTER ELECTION ONLY ,WE CAN SEE-WHO R OURS PEOPLE IN POWER.

Jeez! Calm down Rakesh..why are u hyperventilating? Is it wrong what Omar has said? Isn't India much more strong than a mere Individual from Gandhi-Nehru family?

And what's this obsession with CAPITALS?!

by rani suri on Apr 07, 2009 10:04 AM

Its time to unite and show these pseudo secularists that we are fed up of being treated as second class citizens in our very own motherland.
