You may not be able to practice what ever you claim,or practice and not acheive success. But I appreciate your attitude. The main hinderence to India's devolopment is due to Congress policy of spoon feeding people by making them dependent on free commodities, subsidies and corrupted people. They have made people understand that govornment is there to feed them rather than creating oppurtunities for employement, increase availablity and production and controlling population. They have made problems only grow. Even though, NDA was the first govornment to cut on subsidies, stop foreign debts, first time changed India into aid giver even they had to enter the rat race of free sops. Hope LS at one point in future will also address reservation and make it more effective and balanced.
The above interview makes a refreshing read. What JP has outlined about our political system is so true.
I really wish, hope and pray that Lok Satta wins 5 - 6 seats in the Assembly this time, at least let JP win from Kukatpally. This win hopefully would become a trigger elsewhere and inspire well-intentioned, clean people to enter the political arena. At the same time, for us people, this win by a clean candidate will be the catalyst for a change in our mindsets. From being sick and tired of political mess/loot and losing interest in the system, we can get galvanized into action and demand better candidates and in turn, an accountable system.
JP's vision of decentralization is the need of the hour. People sitting in Hyderabad cannot be expected to think and do good for people in Srikakulam.
Though this most desirable process will take time to gain ground in India, it is ONLY thru movements like these that we can bring change in our society.

He has real solutions to problems of our country. NOt suprefical ones like that of COngress to ensure that problem is not solved.
There is no change , there is Congress everywere, Congress will remain as a ruler, Congress is great. If BJP is not interested to live under Congress rule they can shift their base to Nepal. This is a good and healthy suggestion to BJP & Advani.
Who is secualar, who is breeding chidren like DOGS. where the population during the time of partition was 8% now it is 16% WHo is secualar , who has killed 50,000 Kashmiri hindus. Who is secular, who never voice during the bomb blasts in India but burn their hearts when killings in Gulf.

It is a matter of choice between a poor religious hindustan(another pakistan) or a modern developed India with everyone has a role to play.
Dilli bahut door hai. Unless you educate masses on job creation and how economy grow. to be good consumer, help in developing infrastructure or business climate so thats jobs are maintained and created more. What can a poltician do. only educated people if unite together form many groups, association. make masses aware of then only change can happen in reality otherwise we can keep talking about it.
I voted for Lok Satta and so proud. Made my 4 uncles vote for Lok Satta. Couldnot convince aunties though. U know these middle aged women..But my newly turned 18 cousin too voted for Lok satta...all students...:)

Although in democracy everyone is supposed to be equal, the fact is that the deciding votes are cast by people, who do not even understand the basic issues and sell their votes for few notes and bottle of liquor.Someone has to make a beginning and I suppose, if you are not against corruption in public life, you are for it.
