I am amazed to learn that L.K. Advani in spite of being a voracious reader is capable of incapable things.
I am not at all moved by his exclusive interview.
I have high respect for people like Chandra Babu Naidu, Chief Minister of Pradesh Pradesh, who has used his energy for doing something constructive for his State and administering it efficiently and A.K. Anthony for his honesty, but Advani is only capable of creating enemies and not friends. There is an English saying "actions speak louder than words".
the kinda of books person reads reflects the kind personality he has got. in case of advani, it cleary shows tht he is a hard core polititian of 20th century. all thosse books might b inspiring but r not directional, he is a kind of person who has limitaions to invoke people,s emotions[ bhadkana] but he is totally incapable of giving direction to a great nation like india. he can provoke but never inspire. i dont want him to b india,s prime minister. i would prefer someone like S.M .KRISHNA or CHANDRABABU NAIDU to lead india. who r visionaries. for a matter jawahar lal nehru too was a visionary but whwt he visualised were nt in india,s interest in long term. ne way v shd be proud of whwtever achievements v have made to this date as indians
Advaniji gives credit to Nehru for strengthening democracy - the democracy that has given the Indians rotten fruits that smell so foul - secularism, kashmeer, reservations, bhrshtaachaar, a long list of the most undesirable and abhorrable insanities.
Advaniji does not appear to be fully confident of a BJP sweep in the 2004 election.
It is hoped he is not making preparations to make himself acceptable as the new Home Minister in a new Congress-led government getting installed in 2004 !
Cogratulation to the publishing of the details on Mr L.K.Adhwani during his visit in tjhe flight and the true figs and facts could be known to us .RAMESH.
I wish to thank Sheela for the insight she has provided in the personality of Mr. L. K. Advani. That an extremely busy person like him still manages to find time to read should be an inspiration to all up coming young people and specially people in public life.
I always observe you & really respect you as great Man(Bade Admi) because of your coolness of expressing or answering Press. I really request you to give such Inter. or write book about your life sothat we can get how great people live there life.
I am happy and appreciate you for the work you have done. The reason why I feel like appreciating you is that you have met a personality who is legend(hope I can say) in his field and is very rare to know abt his personality in detail like this.
This sort of intervies will create positive affect on the people. I request you and Rediff to publish more and more articles like this in future. Ofcourse I am regular reader to Rediff articles. But I feel that a personal a short biography of a well know person will create way for the people to observer what is the best thing these people do in their life. I appreciate you if you could able to publish more and more articles like this in the future.
Our Home Minister has clearly not read the authors who would have given him a sense of real India and Indian values. He ought to read Tagore, Premchand, Agyeya, Dinkar, Jayashankar Prasad and other major Indian authors. If he gets time he could also read Ramayana!
India will never get ahead with people like Mr. Advani and his old ideals. its time to move and move quickly. indian diplomats sat when all trade orders were going to china, they continue to do so now. time to do the work you are paid for. time to take your hands out of your pocket. and for christ sake set kashmir free!! we have been fighting like kids.
To think that our home minister finds only the likes of john grisham and jeffrey archer as the only modern day authors worth reading... it has both shamed and awed me!! that certainly speaks volumes about the level of intellect possessed by this rss man. what a pity that on this day he is in the US representing india!!!
the embarrassment doesnt end there.. the only tryst he has with indian independence, is when he reads a book by savarkar, the man who thrice wrote to the british asking forgiveness, extolling everything british, just to secure his release from prison. and that chap is once again called a patriot!!!!
and pray, what has shyama prasad mukherjee "done from our side" towards democracy? i dont think his name can be written in the same line alongwith that of nehru's, unless one is soo ignorant of history!!
