[Reader-list] India on a list of countries which have failed toprotect its religious minorities adequately

Tue Aug 18 14:06:54 IST 2009

Dear Taraprakash, and all,
 both BJP and left are on a course of "hara-kiri" as the party with
difference has sought to be party with lots of differences with gradual
congressisation of BJP, a Jaswanth doing his own take on freedom struggle, a
Raje becoming Annapoorneshwari for sycophancy, with self honouring titles of
srimans, president of BJP incapable of any leadership and old order
unwilling to give way for new order.
    and left which had a halo of being non-corrupt has its icons of
corruption being revered and held in high places, cadres which were
disciplined are the hooligans ready to rape, murder at the command of such
corrupt.

 And Congress on decline thanks solely for the abolition of Seva-dal which
was main thrust to offer feedback on the program mes at grass root level,
now replaced by savvy shouting brigades for shouting slogans and bring in
"crowds."
With divided polity, parties based on caste, faith and other parties with
notions of being suppressed and oppressed, democratic governance sure needs
all the expertise of good vision for the governance of freedom, equity and
justice for "all.".
