Bharat Ganrajya

But govt's silence shows it is incapable , weak , ineffective , or indifferent , uncaring - or all of the above - take your pick Sir, you are just blindly expecting Govt. of India to just do exactly what one group demands it to do. This is when the very same group, have not tried any routes which a...

^^^ I came up with this average effort in about 30 sec , so please excuse the examples cited May be I should think of some better examples like Love Jihad , RJB , Kashmir Pandits , other unresolved and festering issues But hope you get the general drift - this is only a harbinger of things to come

First they came for the Jallikattu , and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Tamil and didn’t give a damn about Jallikattu Then they came for Dahi Handi and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Marathi and didn’t celebrate Gokulashtami Then they came for Deepavali firecrackers , and I did n...

Drab Deepavali season has shopkeepers worried

Actually, BRF is an echo chamber. Out in the real world, nobody is giving a shit for the cracker ban. I got pummeled by my 'educated' friends when I defended the use of firecrackers. I realised that most Hindus are just dhimmis. ----------------------------------------------------- Your so called e...

Deepavali should be celebrated as a festival of sound and light and of victory of good over evil People are taking the tag line festival of light too literally and saying where is the need for fire crackers etc If so why even make or buy sweets , buy new clothes , or even do the Deepavali Puja and w...

Is there an Indian / Indic Interests thread here ?

Indifference can cut both ways

If the BJP is indifferent to Hindus , we can equally well stay away from the polling booths

Hindus already lost the plot. Please whine more. It will definitely solve all the problems. You guys are not even loyal to your leader. You expect him to die for you and work day and night? Please, no one wants your cheer-leading. BJP should ditch this so called RW. --------------------------------...

HNI = High Net worth individual

But we don't know who would qualify as an HNI as per govt

If you have over 100 Cr , 50 Cr or even just 1-2 Cr ??

The answer is 10 rolls
But lots of people answered 9 rolls which is wrong

Net to net result is that; Hon.SC orders do not get really carried out on the ground, and even "secular" parties later cannot say that the central government did not do much. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ How can people celebrate with fire crackers when they can't buy them from nearby shops They would have to...

. AAP leader Ashutosh was responding to a Supreme Court ban on the sale of crackers in Delhi and NCR till November 1. Ashutosh said setting off fire-crackers during Diwali was part of "our culture".

There was a lot of fun deriding the various bans last year as a sign oi f intolerance ( booze ban , beef ban , ) but no such outrage now when the SC takes the law into its own hands to ban crackers

because people supposed to stand by hindu sentiments are supporting the ban.

+1

And in contrast , some Congress leaders seem to be speaking on a balanced note saying that people's sentiments on bursting crackers must be respected while limiting pollution caused by crackers There was a lot of fun deriding the various bans last year as a sign oi f intolerance ( booze ban , beef b...

Bursting crackers is an integral part of Deepavali I have lived abroad for many years where firecrackers were similarly banned , and would tell my children that they would not face such bans in India. Oh the irony But any way I don't live in Delhi , so thank God for small mercies The courts in India...

Why shut down the NGO / Media watch thread ? Same threat followed BGR too ??

If you shut down NGO and Political threads , might as well close down BGR also

Wealth Tax in general is a bad idea for the foll reasons : 1. The govt is not assured of a stable revenue stream 2. It goes against the cardinal principle of double taxation - you get taxed on earned income , and again on the assets you have built up 3. It favours people who are current income earne...

Good to be here. I am one of the first web masters for BRF. Was a moderator for some time, but now do not get into any moderating work. Had kind of taken VRS from the whole thing.
