Since Hinduism is based on CASTE hierarchies, it intrinsically seeds HATRED in your Children(e.g. Varun Gandhi). Hence, * You must vote for your CASTE till 85% of all registered marriages in India are INTER-CASTE or INTER-FAITH. * Only he can UNDERSTAND your culture and IMPROVE your socio-economic status. * And do not worry if he is CORRUPT. This is the only way to STOP dis-integration of India.

This troll posts this nonsense everywhere.
He must be a Christian fundamentalist. They usually accuse others of the things they do. For instance they are the ones who have killed the most people in the world through racism and discrimination. Then they accuse Hindus of discrimination, even though Hindus have done far less damage.

Caste is the magic word (and a valid reason) with which the Christians converted many people in India to Christianity. It also played a part in conversion to Islam. While casteism is still prevalent in the northern parts in the social fabric, in the South, West and East, it is mainly used as a political tool. It is not really a valid stick to flay Hinduism any more. The funny thing is that despite conversions, the caste segregation still exists among the converted people (they are still discriminated based on their original caste before conversion, and maintain different churches, no inter-marriage, etc.). So in a way caste segregation is more among the Christians in India than the Hindus themselves. India is the only truly secular country in the world - to the extent the minorities call the shots. Even in UK and USA, they have a strong undercurrent of Christianity in all administrative and government activities.

Your analysis is unbelievable and untrue. This has got nothing to do with Hinduism. Are all Christian and Muslim countries (and india is not even a Hindu country anymore unfortunately) free from violence?
My question to minorities / dalitsleaders in chals or all indian is that they had given vote all the time is nice but my next question to all of them is that in 60 years what was the situation of all these cast and now what is the situation ? Has any political party done in terme to good education to these people. they had always try to prove they are close to these people but had they done any thing.
No cosmetic change will work. Indians have to lose their attitude of caste, creed and religion before anything can change. And seeing the reservations mela, that is not going to happen, as this will sharpen resentment and antagonism. Some Indians gloat over the slaughter of palestinians by israle, some gloat over the terrorist violence in India and some think promoting one particular religion makes them superior. Churchill may have been right after all, we are not fit to govern ourselves.
Oflate in india,we have only stars or the heirs of ex-neta's contesting elections.Voters should undertand that only a good administrator can run the country effectively than the stars of cinefield. We need more literate and more good administrators to contest than the fancy actors / actress...
First of all the media should be truthful. They should publish a message without any ambiguity. If they are truthfully publish all messages the politicians can never cheat a common man. If all branches of the media report the messages neutrally keeping aside the love or hate towards anything the politics will change to better.
An independent and unbiased commonman(voter), be he a hindu,muslim,christian, sikh etc. would find that the communalism that is talked about is the creation of politicians of all hues and colours, for survival in the present FPTP system of democracy in India.No analysis is done constructively to check this menace either by the ruling elite or by the opposition. Even the media are playing up with this dividing the people unconscionably by ethnic groups, without any consideration.Will anyone go into the root cause of this malice and check each of the politicians against this misuse ? If not, one day(not that far) the politicians,executives and the mediamen, would see the commonman(voter)in his/her true colours reacting to those concerned in the same way as reported in the case of Mr.Bush.

I disagree, communalism is the creation of the common man and the politicians simply take advantage of it.

ITs time for common woman to create something that the politicians can take advantage of
its endless and its too late; either we are in deep deep trouble for ignoring our political system which has caught up with us eventually or change must happen now, anyhow at the cost of a revolution. all it takes is a stone to be thrown at the parliament house! but something must definitely happen; else the same old story would repeat.

they give a damn to human values, self respect and honesty; the politician is not interested in something money can't buy; but are always willing to get paid or pay for a compromise.

In that case, instead of rice and wheat, politicos will start promising master cards, with no late payment fees for six months!
qualities of independence in thought, action and association without favour or fervour should mark the citizens charecter. that is basic requirement for successful democracy. that will come when most of the people middle class, educated, healthy in mind, body and spirit. what the politicians had failed to achieve or can we call poor succees rate, business class are attempting and succeeding fairly better. they transform poor/desperate to workers, educated into a trained technician, better educated into a responsible lead, the one with skill and fire in the belly into another one like them. india will be transformed by business class, whom we had treated earlier with contempt as "banias". they are more secular, less with caste/language prejudices, and do not throw away resources. then the importance of politicians will be less. it is gradually happening. but will take some time.
