Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
I dont understand all the angst about aadhaar. It is like a social security number (SSN) in the US. It's farely simple to understand that. Aadhaar is going to mess with a lot of people's current way of life. Most of the people do not like changes, and there would be more resistance if that change i...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
ON twitter I now hear that SC will hear a PIL on 'excessive' offerings being made at some jyotilings. So judas will decide on quantity of prasad offerings too at our temples, seems like. In a way this may be a "blessing in disguise" . There is no reason in dumping money into temples, if they just r...

On the Triple Talaq case... Centre may amend IPC to make triple talaq criminal offence...... The government is planning to introduce a new sub-section, 497A. Section 497 IPC deals with Adultery. Meanwhile, relentless judicial assault on Yindoo festivals continues unabated. No stage, loudspeaker at C...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Feeling a bit better after the GJ and HP opinion polls :D I have a feeling Gujarat will be much closer than that opinion poll suggests. +1 to that. GJ is also now a "Do or Die" battle for the seculars. Beating Modi in his own home ground, would be a big morale booster for the "secular" forces. So t...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Never understood to this date, how illegal Bangladeshis can get Aadhar and Passport but not legal citizens of India!!! Aadhaar is just a proof of identity (POI), and it is not recognized by the Passport issuing agency as the sole proof. The passport officials were very clear on saying that passport...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Is PFI's nuisance effect big enough to warrant a special announcement ? This may not be the only announcement. But yes, the HM himself making such an announcement does make a difference. PFI receives good support from various parties (and governments??) in Kerala and Karnataka. So a message coming ...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
i posted a superb article by minhaz merchant he commented that next year RJB judgement will be passed by SC, irrespective of what judgement is it will benefit Modi. This could be true. But the verdict should come before the LS elections 2019. Once the verdict is out, the BJP would (and can) get tim...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
BJP questions Cong's silence on Vadra-Bhandari 'links' Its all fine & dandy to "question" on debates and TV channel shows. But even the most gullible of people have started asking, what has been BJP doing for three years when they knew Robert Vadra was a crook from day one? To be frank, Mr. Robert ...

To cheer up folks here. The "national party" (or whore for hire) CPI(M) is still debating on whether they should formally join a well paying client, the Congress. To support Congress or not?

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Sidda starts with his divisive politics again. This is slightly old news (1-2 months olds). Own flag, then Hindi out of Namma Metro, Lingayaths encouraged to become another religion etc. were all of Siddu's latest "secular" moves. PS: One reason for the Lingayaths to ask for a separate religion see...

KA - seems to be a lost cause for BJP Heard the same from a chap (a Keralite) who has connections with lot many ministers, cutting across party lines in KA. His prediction is a Congress win. And to be frank, it is better that BJP loses KA. They are equally corrupt, and perhaps they remaining a stro...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Your rights won't be protected unless you are willing to do what it takes to achieve some degree of power. For many people the "willing to do" part ended the day they voted for BJP in last Lok Sabha elections. From then on, the expectation is that the Modi & Co should now start solving all their pr...

BTW, one more IED is on its way. Supreme Court refers case of ban on women’s entry into Sabarimala temple to Constitution Bench As I see it, the Break India Forces have clearly found a way.

First they came for the Jallikattu , and I did not speak out— People who had pride in the festival protested ; nothing happened to them. It was the middle class who kept quiet. Then they came for Dahi Handi and I did not speak out— People defied the ban on the maximum limit ; and nothing happened. ...

Mean while "The Wire" folks have now literally started begging/requesting for funds to defend themselves
Support The Wire, and Rs.200 is the minimum ask. May be they should outsource this job to the CPI(M) in Kerala. Chaps are experts when it comes to fund collection using red buckets.

The entry of the upholders where angels fear to tread sets of a dangerous precedent.
