Indira Gandhi

"Undeclared emergency" is a fanciful expression by scotch sipping self proclaimed intellectuals with rabid jehadi and maoist mindset. If really emergency declared or otherwise has really been in force, then TV channels would not have been able to run fake stories of Aqlaq, church attacks, gau-rakshaks etc.

Lalu Yadav is actually a
by piri on Jul 11, 2017 08:51 PM  | Hide replies

small time thief compared to the BJPs chief election campaign financier, Gautam Adani !

It was always a known fact that Lalu is a thief just like most politicians in the BJP and the Congress and in most regional parties are.

The CBI figures the total loot through all the fodder scam cases to be 950 crore rupees. In the railway facility allocation scam, the IT dept has estimated the total worth of all the attached properties (in Delhi, Patna, Orissa) to have a current market value of Rs 170 crores.

This is the total extent of loot implicated on Lalu Yadav. He may have stolen more.

On the contrary, Gautam Adani was implicated (with more strong incriminating evidences) of evading taxes to the tune of Rs 1890 crores in a single P note round tripping scam (35 % corporate tax on the Rs 5468 crores he round tripped from Mauritius) !

And one of the first actions of the Modi govt after coming to power in 2014 was to transfer the 3 ED/DRI officers who filed those evidences in an FIR against Adani ! The CAT had ruled in several instances that officers must have a minimum tenure of 3 years in postings unless the cabinet note makes an exception on some grounds or if they are promoted. Neither took place in the instance of the transfer of these 3 officers.

The case against Adani has been getting adjourned repeatedly ever since as the prosecution was seeking them !

This is one of the worst examples of misusing state apparatuses to further big time corruption by komaaaaali Modi while using the same apparatuses to hound politically inconvenient but much smaller thieves such as Lalu yadav !

And he fearlessly ventures into such Indira Gandhi like actions since he knows very well (like Indira Gandhi did) that commoners (especially north Indian ones) dont read much and will not understand the details even if they try !!

Bhakt dont want to listen anything good about past & present leader apart from Mr. Modi, no doubt Modi is making all effort that is suppose to be done by PM of India. but one should admit many good things has happened due to sacrifice of past leader of this country.

PV, Atal and Modi are the best PMs India has ever seen, Indira was no where near it. Just because she won some war for India doesn't make her bset leader. If above said PMs were put in similar situation results would be not be different. This Presstitute is super dumbo and performs best in bed.

NPAs in Banks: The real growth in Indian Economy is mostly because of the growth of Indian Banking System. Banks have grown between 6000-7000 times since 1969 and the government earned lakhs of crores by way of profits. No bank failed to earn profit till Sept 2014 and the Gross NPA levels were between 1.5-2.5 %age. After 2014 many banks have shown losses and a few banks have shown lesser profit inclusive of the mighty SBI (which have a business share of 32-35% of total business).
Who were responsible for migration or encroached to India thru Khyber Pass over 5000 years.

At relevant time there were no NP norms n thereafter also NPA norms were not as strict as since last 7 8 years...There was no recovery but interest was being debited n profit was shown... under garibi hatao yojana lakhs of crores rupees have been written off of small borrowers..... ..consider the capital Govt has given to banks in comparison to profits given by the banks,Share capital collected by the banks... position of pvt banks is good...After Nationalisation kamchori, bogus advances frauds have increased... further borrowers also were thinking why we should pay , case will go on in courts n instalments will be given... even today position of banking sector is worse...NPAs are bound to increase...every year govt is giving capital to banks generally equivalent to NPAs...industrial finance became NPA, Agri. Finance,

NPA norms introduced since 1995 and after 1998 it has become strict and regularised and not as stated by you as interest is debited to NPA a/cs and taken to int income a/c. This system was in vogue till 1995 only. At the time of introduction i e change of accounting system, banks have been capitalised. NOT as you said that banks were recapitalised every year- it depends on profitability. eg. BOB every year shown a profit of over 5000 crore till 2014 and shown loss over 5000 cr during 2016. Similarly BOI, Canara, UCO, IOB, CBI and some more, could be referred with respective Banks site.
Reg: Private Banks: Not as you said what about ICICI, AXIS etc.
Normally some 10 years ago banks used to grow by 15-18% whereas recent growth are between 3-4% only. Credit takers are very less. There are many reasons for an account become NPA and what you stated are also some reasons. Govt Policy, Industrial & agri growth are main reasons. For the past 25 months manufacturing and export sectors shown negative growth.

Article is more to show the Gandhi in goodlight. Writer has no knowledge or pretends to have know knowledge. Kashmir problem is because of nehru.ln 1971 indira could have forced pakistan to accept kashmir as part of india. And yesterday pappu meets chinese ambasdor to hatch conspircy against India. Great gandhi family.

Couldn't control a wayward son. Most powerful ?
by Bharat Kumar on Jul 11, 2017 02:48 PM  | Hide replies

One thing for sure, Mr Modi wants to transform India, like Indira Gandhi probably wanted, but couldn't as people would say because of greed of power. Really?! If she couldn't control her son Sanjay Gandhi, how was she the most powerful?

Even a sleeping Gowda was probably dreaming of a better India when he tumbled from his chair and woke up !! Did Manmohan Singh do better by getting nuclear fuel besides the '91 reforms?

One could argue, Bangladesh formation motivated Pakistan and the US against India. Would we have rather another conventional war, if needed to settle disputes, instead of sitting on nuclear powder-kegs, constipated with no result?

So, comparisons are odious. In simple language, it means they smell bad. The proof is the discussion thread below.

Neither Indira Gandhi apologized for the emergency or dating Bhindranwale, nor would Mr Modi accept that the riots in Gujarat hurt him and apologized. That is because, in all cases some people, definitely not me, see it as a sign of weakness - to say sorry! That is India, still awaiting deliverance from the curse of castes - we don't think it is wrong to think of someone as lower than ourselves.

I agree with most of the points which you have written & perhaps it is the most balanced view point in this entire article. Ms. Ghose is anyways known since long for her anti Modi bias so nothing better could be expected of her.

However, I would disagree to one point which you have made which was regarding her son, Sanjay. We do not know whether she was really unable to control him or deliberately allowed him to run amok. Sanjay Gandhi would have done some wrong policies but the sterilisation program which he had started even though highly unpopular at that time would have done a world of good for the country if it was allowed to have a free run. China implemented a 1 child policy since 1979 & look where they have reached today, miles ahead of India in every sphere inspite of being neck to neck with India in the early 80s. Our back breaking population of 130 crores & counting negates any kind of development work & everyone is at each other's throats for the scarce & limited resources that the country has. So whatever else Sanjay Gandhi may have done rightly or wrongly, population control was a step in the right direction & the only way to go about it was in that manner because in a democracy like India, you cannot educate or leave it to the masses to realise the pitfalls of a burgeoning numbers.
