Faltu and void of facts articleBy: Sunita Nair | Sunday , 16 Nov '08 21:28:04 PM Reply | Forward Lol, dumb analysis by a dumb emotional fool. I know this comment is not going to be published, but at least I know the author will know my view of this stupid article.One thing definitely is that Obama is no Sun and Lies has been his forte all along the campaign. I assure you his is going to be the worst administration and India is not going to be spared. All you pseudo intellectuals are going to get burnt by this Liar.

Obama..the manBy: Bharavi | Tuesday , 18 Nov '08 1:20:57 AM Reply | Forward I can understand your frustration as you voted for John McCain (and Hillary C before that)...hee hee hee. But the article is not about Obama. Its about how America has changed and has an ability to learn from its experiences. Obama may turn out to be a failure (I pray not) but so what ? Americans will vote him out after 4 yrs and learn from this experience too and will be more careful next time. But at the present moment, he is the man and he inspires hope in all Americans. And that is the greatest advantage America has today. When did you see such inspiration in so many people around the world? (Except may be when the Berlin wall came down .. then too the Soviet bloc wasn't so happy). Don't be too cynical and enjoy the moment.

America’s learning curveBy: Sameer | Sunday , 16 Nov '08 4:01:28 AM Reply | Forward Lets face certain truths1)"But his brilliance ensured no prejudice came in the way of his becoming the principal architect of the Indian Constitution.".This was possible only because India was under British rule.Indian society had heaped enough humiliations on him so that he even decided to give up Hinduism.Also the current position of Dalits in India is pathetic.2 ) It is absurd logic to say that we have three muslim presidents.In India president is lame duck and is a mere constitutional head and he is not elected by popular vote unlike the US president.If we had a Muslim prime minister it would have been a different matter.Agreed America is by no means perfect but instead of patting ourselves on the back , lets face the harsh realities of large scale corruption, hunger and divisions based on language,caste and religion and lets work towards improving India with humility not arrogance
