India lacks spokes persons, politicians damaging country imageBy: Sarath | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 1:15:02 AM Reply | Forward India lacks good spokespersons, thats creating lot of damage to the country, which boasts tons of high efficient docts, scientists, lawyers, accts, IT/telecom engineers you name it, but unfortunately who's sitting in top gov. politicians, they're very bad, and damaging a lot and failed to impress foregin delegates and audiences. candidate in both state

Karan Johar's BlogBy: Johnson Thomas K | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 0:45:12 AM Reply | Forward Dear Editor/ Karan Johar,We in India tolerate those journos and politicians who sap out every iota of self respect in us by putting down our heritage, civilisation, rightful achievements etc to promote a primitive view of India. We need another intellectual war of independence to save us from our British colonial baggage. Look at the British government and their media they don't even cover our prime minister's visit to Britain as we do for the British Prime Minister in India. The British embassy has "advisors" in India for British journalists telling them what to and what not to cover in India. Their (British) archive pictures of India are always derelict, slum India even when they are not relevant. We simply accept even their mispronunciation of Ganga and Himalayas. How do we expect Indian politicians groomed in such contempt for Bharath to behave and conduct themselves? Learn from the Jewish community

Do poiliticians feel anything??By: Prem | Monday , 1 Dec '08 22:19:04 PM Reply | Forward It is appalling to notice that the politicians need a paper or a teleprompter to give their feelings of what happened. It is despicable that they fumble upon words and cannot even show any feeling whatsoever. How can the deputy CM of Maharashtra say, "these thing happen in big cities"?? If he had a relative or a family member among the ones who died, will he still say the same?? Or for that matter if any of the politician's kins were in that incident, will they still behave like vegetables? Truly despicable

Indian PoliticsBy: amit | Monday , 1 Dec '08 21:52:44 PM Reply | Forward I Truely agree with Mr.Karan Johar, that indian politics is selfish, and it is because of them that india's population is out of control and there is no law for that and it is because of them that india is still lacking in basic amenities in most of the states, and i feel ashamed when few white people ask me over here in toronto that do you guys have cars or air-conditioners over there in india its because of our dirty politics that india has a backward Image in the world. first of all Politicans should be young

ChurlishBy: saikatb | Monday , 1 Dec '08 20:38:16 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Johar's emotions are understandable - it is the emaotion that multitudes from India are feeling. But what I finding annoying and churlish - Mr. Johar is not alone in expressing this - is that somehow we should be worried about India's image abroad. This has always been the problem in India. When bombs went off in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, then this question of image was not being emphasized as much.We should realize that security and lives of any and all Indians is the most basic human right that needs to be protected by the government and it should not be emphasized simply because of India's image abroad. Based on the former and not the latter, should we be demanding a response from the government.

Good Job JoharBy: ABCXYZ | Monday , 1 Dec '08 20:33:17 PM Reply | Forward Good Job Johar,It is really really rare that someone from show business will come forward and bash these politicians. Undoubtedly, that we are in this situation because of these cold blooded, heartless, irresponsible, ruthless, cruel, selfish politicians (I should have said just politician instead of using all the adjectives, politician word itself is above all these adjectives). But, it's us, well educated people who select them and even don't come forward to say the truth. There will be no one other than us, who understand what is right and wrong, that every life (whatsoever religion they belong to) has the same value, need to come forward and raise our voice. DO NOT let this issue cool down. We should force our government to take action. We cannot take this for granted like every other terror attack. If common man is scared and can't do much, it is the responsibility of big shots like businessmen, celebrities, players, MEDIA etc to come forward and atleast write blogs, say truth.

Our politicians and politics are our own 'terrorists'By: Jayson Shaw | Monday , 1 Dec '08 20:14:35 PM Reply | Forward Karan:You are absoulutely correct. These politicians travel more to European cities than they travel to their constituents and to bungle up big time makes a mockery of India as a whole. From adminstratively, security as well as hostage-rescue operations. First of all we lack manpower (shame that inspite of our huge population we cannot have enough police and NSG personnel) proper equipment and training and when countries like England and Israel offer help we in our 'pride' turn down their help. Who knows seeking their help would have saved many lives and at the same time would provide our personnel a real training lesson. But than again this is India, where politics and politicians are our biggest 'terrorist'.

Dirty politiciansBy: venkat | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 12:59:28 PM Reply | Forward Have every anybody seen Mr. Mulayam Singh, Amar Singh, Lallu Prasad, Arjun Singh condemning Pakistan for training terrorists and sending to india for terrorists activities. Have they ever appreciated the bravery of our soldiers in fighting with these terrorists. Have these politicians every applauded our soldiers after the Kargil? No!
