Dangerous BJPs attutude - Behti Ganga me Haath Dhona . BJP is opportunist and people understand that its better to have intelligent enemy than a foolish friend -
CNN-IBN survey shows that if elections were to be held today, UPA will again come to power and loot the nation with scams like 2G and CWG. This clearly shows that people still remember the moral of panchtantra story that they had read in their child hood. UPA will come to power again. Wondering why? Visit goo .gl/8a2WM ( remove space between goo and .). You can also google bribe tracker to see this analysis. Plz share this with all and educate people on this serious situation.

The British destroyed Indian culture while reforming it

We had joint families and great communities.
We had strong concepts of brother and sister. We are still one of the few countries in the world where we commonly use Maaji, Behenji, Bhaisahab, Dadiji and Dadaji for strangers.

(Equivalent in various regional languages.)

Now we dont want to live together, we want to stay away from "nagging relatives" (the same relatives whose contacts we will later on use to get licenses, jobs, offers and so on), or we want to desperately compete and compare with friends, relatives, brothers and sisters.
Our aim is that we must be as successful or more than our peers, family, relatives and people in social circles.

This is not the Indian way. Earlier we had no technology, but in the matter of living life we were quite advanced.

Now we are as advanced as the most developed places materially, and as desperate and despondent as those very places.

This is a simple test:

Would you like to think of women on the street as potentially sisters, or alternatively, as attractive or unattractive members of the opposite sex.

The former is the old Indian way, the latter is the modern western way.

No judgements, just my opinion :-)
