Religion-based head count in Army is irrelevant Latest in the series of controversies centred on the Congress party’s fixation with Muslim grievances is the data collection exercise involving the Indian Armed Forces. It is irrelevant and mischievous to mention about caste-based divisions in the Army during the British rule. Congress leaders not only divided the country politically but also militarily. The military officers and men of pre-independence India , belonging to all communities fought the WWII together under the British.
Pakistan got a ready-made army at its birth. When Indian Muslims got Pakistan they also got a Muslim army carved out of the undivided Indian Army. This army produced Pakistani generals and officers who fought wars with India — the first full scale war being in 1965. This is history in living memory.
The Congress party having divided and ruled the country for decades is continuing with its dangerous game and monstrous thinking of doing a head count for the Army now.

Hi jai!! me too just voted. Just pressed whistle symbol without any second thought for kicking out traditional parties from telangana.
I am asking a simple staright forward question. Do Indian citizens deserve good politicians? Typical Indian behaviour
1. Example no. 1 NO PARKING BOARD- OUTCOME- AS MANY VEHICLES PARKED.
2.NO SMOKING ZONE- LOTS OF SMOKERS IN THAT CORNER
3.DRIVING VEHICLES WHILE TALKING IN MOBLES 4.DRUNKEN DRIVING. WHEN POLICE DOES THE JOB WE GET AWAY BY PAYING Few 100s because police asked for it.
5.STILL RAGGING HAS NOT BEEN BANNED. WHERE ARE THOSE SOCIAL ACTIVITS LIKE ARUNDHATI ROY,MALLIKA SARABHAI 6.NO INDIAN CITIZEN KNOWS HOW TO KEEP THE PULIC PLACE CLEAN.
WITH SO MANY MANY MORE BEHAVIOUR OF INDIAN CITIZENS AND BY CHANCE ANY STRICT POLITICIAN COMES AD TRIES TO RECTIFY THINGS
FROM MEDIA TO SOCIAL ACTIVISTS TO OPPOSITION PARTY WILL CLAIM THAT "DEMOCRACY AT STAKE". THEY WILL PORTRAY THAT LEADER AS A HITLER. SO 90% of the problems lies with the citizens and media and where comes the politicians. He is just taking advantage of it.

We need to be the change ourselves which we are trying to see in others. This kind of a change can be done only with the help of a revolution. We need to spread this message to as many people possible.

If Loksatta is TDP supporter, then why did loksatta candidate katari srinivasa rao attacked by TDP goons today. He reported liquor distribution. Too bad on TDP part. First they say ruling congress is bribing voters, but they do bribing, in the first place

I think you are Congress or PRP. These are negligible issues compared to his party ideology. He is many times ahead of Congress and TDP and PRP in this respect.
It is partiality.... They would have written this article, long time back. They have written so many article about PRP,TDP & Congress... Its bad.If it was some series of artcles about JP, LSP would have got good coverage.

This politicians want us to be alive until we cast our vote. After that Politicians and their Political Party don't bother whether we are dead of alive for next five years.
It is always good to have congress - the grand old party of India in politics.
Politics has always revolved around Congress. It can be defeated, mutiliated, humiliated, factionlised, defamed, dethroned....you can do anything with this party.
Nice to have some one like this to bash around.
Also if you want to become a national leader you have to "stand against it"...easy publicity.
Having congress is good for BJP...good for regional parties...good for 3rd...4th..5th...fronts
It donesn't matter how big or small they will be in the future...but having congress is good for politics

I cannot believe that still we have a person to suppport congress after seeing congress vote scam in parliament... Tell me one simple thing my dear friend what congress have done for the past 48 years rule and we still see people are dying in every parts of country out of hunger... Dont you feel this is pathetic... Still do you support congress. I am not saying that BJP is very good party... However, compared to congress, BJP is far better party....Dont think in communal lines when you are voting... If it is so there is no big difference between congress and BJP as congress supports mus1ims and BJP supports h1ndus... So think from development angle... We have given 48 years of oppurtunity to congress and still they have done nothing... Now let us give some chance to BJP who have just got 5 years of chance.... and still performed well...
