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...

GoI started a sustained dialogue in J&K. Why they want to do such idiotic thing no one knows. RNS announced it in that press meet.
Any thing else? Don't know why the above was such a big event to have a press meeting. "Sustained dialogues" have been going on for ages.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

PFI receives good support from various parties (and governments??) in Kerala and Karnataka. So a message coming ...

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.

Your rights won't be protected unless you are willing to do what it takes to achieve some degree of power.
