The word "consensus" entered our political vocabulary when Kamaraj Nadar used it as a means to side step Morarji Desai and bring in Indira Gandhi as the Prime Minister.Kamaraj argued that the chief ministers arrived at a consensus to choose Indira,ignoring Morarji's argument that the chief ministers had no locus standi in the matter and the parliamentary party members should elect the leader.Morarji had to be satisfied with the number two position,only to be thrown out like a rotten potato(Morarji's own words) While it is not possible to view political matters in black and white,a forced consensus will only stifle democracy.

Kamaraj Nadar was a big hypocrite, on par with Hazare. Most pretentiously, he dropped the caste name "Nadar", but continued to give preferential treatment to Nadars. Other common qualities are that both were semi-literate.

Like the Gandi's who're surviving only on the false halo of their malicious n crafty foreparents, accumalated by swindling gullible Indians (this thing continues still.....)
- Western tradition is always superior - Western people, sportsmen, actors, actresses are "achievers" - Indian Yogis, hindu ethics and Gods are concocted and don't exist - Prosperity has to do something with Western civilization
What the forget is - India was most prosperous even from the times of Alexander - Columbus wanted to come to India to see its wealth - China and India shared great traditional values and lived in peace (mostly) - Hinduism existed everywhere (recently hindu God statues were found in Russia)
Indian women are the greatest. Because of them India's tradition is preserved till now. Don't believe in Mallika and Shilpa. Believe in Sita and Draupadi who are the paragons of honour, love and tradition.
This is a nice talk in these trying times for this vast democracy of ours. We need to understand our value system from time to time and need people like Sharda Prasad and Anna Hazare to guide us.
BHAKTI YOGA MEANS LOSING DUALITY WITH HEAD OF STATE WHILE SOMETIMES BHAKT BECOMES A LARGER FIGURE DUE TO SUBMISSION OF ALL ACTIONS TO GOD WHILE GETTING UNITED WITH SPREME DIETY TO BECOME LIBERATED AND PROFESSIONALIZE IT TO REACH ANY NATION TO CONTINUE WORKING TO ANOTHER NATION WITH SAME SPIRIT IS HIGHEST KIND OF CIVIL SERVICE TO BECOME SERVANTS OF GOD

All sychophants resort to Bhakti Yoga to achieve supreme happiness (i.e. gain money and power).
karma Yogi indulgences in corrupt practises for the same purpose.
Raja Yogi becomes powerful with the help of criminals.
Jnana Yogi knows the bureaucratic workings and how to manipulate the system to his / her advantage.

I'm trying to highlight the Yogi of new age. Today, people want to attain supreme happiness (money and power) by any means. It's just a comment on the "kal yug" we live in. No need to be over sensitive.
