Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

What exactly are 'satta' bazaars? I understand people betting on sports but never understood people betting on who will win LS polls.

The scope is quite broad, and I cannot fathom what Congoons or their handlers can do with it. It is all black lentils.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Interesting reversal of roles. Taliban Khan aparently puked something about ModiJi being better to cut a deal on Kashmir than Pappu & Co. Which Congoons seized as Pakis endorsing ModiJi. Ideally, I would ignore Talibna Khan with the contempt he deserves. But in this case, maybe ModiJi should just s...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

I very much doubt if this would affect Modi's popularity at this point. If at all, Congress will be sh!tting n its own yard, with whatever votes it was supposed to get, if it goes around town screaming 'Rafale Rafale Rafale'.

That could very well be true. By and large, Hindus are known to be complacent. They assume and take it for granted that good times will continue so why stress (or stand in line and vote). I hope I am proven wrong. We don't want 2004 redux

2. Indians always had a "hero worship" mentality and the Brits also gave a good image to Bandit-ji and Ghandi so that they were considered as demi-Gods. Important to note.

The only time I remember when India was bountiful with jobs was from around 1997 to about 2010 when the Y2K rush started and companies would go to campuses and hire in truckloads. I was in the US but all we heard was how awesome it was in India and how people got 50% raises and promotions every 6 m...

Sometimes we put Indian voters too high on a pedastal and we fully know how much pathetic they can be. They have been improving but until TMC/AAPtards and SP/BSP type of third-rated parties exist, the intelligence of an Indian voter shall always be in doubt.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

There's absolutely no decency left in debates anymore. Ever since Congress and their allies have lost the plot, they are raising idiotic and illogical points. And when they get called out, they simply pitch their voice up so as to down BJP spokie's point of view. Their entire argument is now reduced...

Re: NGO, Media and Psyops watch.

India TV still is decent and if the spokies go rogue in talking over others, they are muted by moderators. For all the Arnab fanfare, I think thats its a dud. His channel's value will show only when the...

It is just NDTV that has clean peaceful debates and it cannot be just a coincidence. BJP spokies hardly get their pov across because they are countered...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Under the current legal framework, its impossible to put a leash on media. Giving misleading information is an offence even today, am I right?

Under the current legal framework, its impossible to put a leash on media. Modi simply cannot do anything about it. Guvermand can bring in bills by putting in stringent punishments towards fake news by taking out their licenses to print or air. However it's too late for this term. Hopefully next term.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 3 (Oct 2018 - )

Gadkari is actually very clear and unambiguous about his support to Modi and BJP. Unfortunately he lacks the sophistication and comes out as village bumpkin/simpleton who isn't very careful about what he says. Hence his statements are cherry picked by media and are used/abused/twisted to its maximum...

Its been Congress strategy for quite some time. They want Gadkari to be a PM instead of Modi, if BJP comes back to power.
