While whole of India celebrates 16 Aug. and 26 Jan., Kashmir remains under siege, curfew and hartal for days, people caged in homes, people harased by so called security forces, THATS THE MEANING OF SUCH DAYS FOR KASHMIRIS.

Donno if u r a Kashmiri, but atleast get the date right. 15th August is Indian Independence Day, while some may have a hangover which may spill-over to the next day too !!!

Imagine how much a large section of Indian Muslims were satisfied that Tri-color could not hoisted on Republic day at Lal Chaowk to appease the Terrorists.

Mr Judgement day, what you say is right for Kashmiri Hindus only.

Expect the unexpected
by India Shining on Jan 26, 2011 05:36 PM

Our fault entirely- that many of us did not vote in 2009. Our Karma that the today's lawmakers of our country have become lawbreakers and that the opposition could not stand united to form an alternative government.

When BJP calls for unfurling the flag at Lal Chowk, the entire set of political parties could have stood with BJP, thus removing any so called Saffron tinge to the affair and at the same time, slapping the separatists in their face. But instead, our Terrorist-Appeasing central Govt headed by opposite of Progress party, is interested only in forwarding Separatist agenda in the hopes that other separatists living in TerroristGadh (Azamgadh) and other places in UP with more than 60% Muzxie population will vote for it and bring it to power there, so that the loot of that most resource-rich state in India can keep continuing, at the hands of a foreign lady- what more do you expect other than that people rom other countries will laugh that a sovereign nation prevented it's citizens from hoisting it's flag in what it claims as an integral part of it's territory?

This is Kali-Yuga- expect the unexpected when Rakshasas are in power

Nitish- cleverest CM
by India Shining on Jan 26, 2011 05:18 PM  | Hide replies

When he comes to power, he praises an idiot like Ramchandra Guha, and that way he does not allow the media to needle him- but his agenda is the same as Modi's- Development. And there isn't a leftist bone in his body, though he might have emerged from somewhat leftist roots.

Nitish in my mind is even better than Modi at handling the press, because he is not over-stated in his agenda and panders to the press's left fixation while carrying on with his capitalistic ways.
India would be greatly benefitted if we have either Nitish or NaMo as our next PM in place of weak, lame and puppt MMS, who's made the entire position of PM into a joke and laughing stock of the entire world- be it before developed, developing or third-world- everyone in the world is laughing at us thanks to this oldMoron.

Nitish is not as good as Modi. Modi does what he thinks is correct and says exactly what he thinks. He doesn't mince words, a very rare character among politicians.

Also, Modi is like a one man army and has greater charisma in Gujarat, compared to Nitish in Bihar who still needs BJP's help.

The height that Modi has attained with his hard work, Nitish will take decades to reach if he goes with current speed.

Modi's performance convinced Deoband VC to praise him for the work he has done to improve the economic status of Muslims in Gujarat. Its a different matter that Fundamentalists spared no time in showing the VC the door.

Read Col Athale's article from either yesterday or 2 days back about coming security threats for our country. Our country has survived all these years because weHindus have been very pious and cared for ourReligion, maintaning it in the face of extreme opposition from our KillerNeighbors from BarbaricStates like Afghanistan. But now, with so manyHindus becoming modern and mostly Pseudo-secular, I really hope the prayers of our ancestors continue to be with us, because the bunch of jokers that has ruled for the last 7 years has destroyed the confidence of the Indian army and encouraged onlySeparatists andTerrorists to carry out their agenda without fear of law or backlash from anyone.

I hope and pray that all predictions of 2012 being a world-war that will most likely begin between India and China are wrong, because we are nowhere near China in terms of offensive capability today.

Only the prayers and punya of our ancestors can save us from modern day Rakshasas (Chinese, Porkiestanis and their allies who live in our country, eat and go for theirPilgrimage from our taxes and then work against us- thanks to weak and soft govt in centre, which does not know whom to appease and whom to stop in their tracks)

I haven't heard about predictions of world war in 2012, but yes if India & China keep rising like this and take away jobs of US, then certainly US would like these two countries to get exhausted and come before it crawling.

It's time for referendum
by Wisecrack on Jan 26, 2011 05:14 PM

It's time for Indian people to vote for change from democracy to dictatorship. However a dictator must be born and not elected. Sorry I had forgotten...India full of CHAKKAS.

Politics or RaajNeeti: Time to bring back Raam Raaj
by RS on Jan 26, 2011 04:51 PM

The very concept of 'politics' or 'RajNeeti' was introduced to this world by Lord Krishna. The people and the world have suffered because of politics and politicians.

It is about time to throw away 'politics or Raajneeti' into dustbin and bring 'Raam Raaj' back into Bharata Khand.

BJP tried to bring back 'Raam' but once they tasted power they became Raavan and are becoming like any other politicians...

India needs to change and change its policies of RaajNeeti...

Shame India Shame
by Takshya on Jan 26, 2011 03:25 PM  | Hide replies

The world media is laughing on us because the so called self appointed super power of this century has become so lame and weak that it requires its own security forces for doing what …..yes stopping people to fly its national flag….India always compares itself with China but look what china has done in Tibet and how even powerful countries like United States of America have shut their mouth on Tibet issue and assumed Tibet as an integral part of China, even India where Lakhs of Tibetans refugees and their Dalai Lama lives and run a government in exile has accepted Tibet as a part of China…… but here in Kashmir a handful of extremist and a Chief Minister whose only credential of becoming a CM is his surname,openly declares that Kashmir is not a part of India and we will not allow the Indian national flag to be hoisted in the most historic place of Srinagar is fully supported by the central government of india just because of fear of a backlash (Vote) from a particular community….. if this support continues very soon we will see the unfurling of Pakistani National Flag On Lal Chowk, and who knows even on the Lal Qila in Delhi. This is Super power India. I feel ashamed of being an Indian today.

With a puppet PM & few cronies in place a foreign origin lady has managed to run the show.It shows how few thousand Britishers could rule us for 200 years.The minority card was played by British to rule from 600kms & has been used by Congress to their advantage at the cost of nation.
