BiasedBy: Seema | Friday , 5 Dec '08 21:36:59 PM Reply | Forward Congress monarchy sycophant alert. You are doing a good job in protecting the interests of the Gandhis.

Bull's eyeBy: Suryanshu | Friday , 5 Dec '08 20:40:26 PM Reply | Forward Brilliant article, Mr Gupta. One of the very few that I have read amongst the hundreds of opinions and insights on this whole situation that have appeared in the media in the past week. It's factual, and needs to be read by the CWC members. I wonder if the PM and his ministers read news articles. That can help them get a lot of ideas and listen to the voice of the country.

Internal securityBy: Parag | Friday , 5 Dec '08 14:08:14 PM Reply | Forward Excellent article. Prosecute them, now . No body is above law of land. After all they are enjoying taxpayers money too... For politicians .use 49-O.

PM of IndiaBy: ak | Friday , 5 Dec '08 13:30:23 PM Reply | Forward Mr Gupta, I find you one of many others who raise their concerns initially only to start praising current ruling party led by a foreigner and her son (capability skill of both is well established by now to all). This is true with a majority of people in India. We usually fail to analyse the problems in totality. For the last five years, we have been witnessing the destruction of Indian democracy by dividing the society in the name of reservation, sachchar committee etc. while in doing so, the ruling party was totally oblivious of internal security scenario regardless of a series of blast/ikilling of innecent peoples. They did not acted earlier and for fear of backlash from one community, they will not act this time too

CHANGE IS REQUIREDBy: YUVARAJ | Friday , 5 Dec '08 13:04:00 PM Reply | Forward CHANGE IS REQUIREDWhat we are now dealing is a new kind of war of 21st century and we are trying to overcome it by applying the techniques of 20th century. We never tried to modernise our artillery, our ammunition, our fighting techniques. We never realized the need to train civilians for emergencies. The political body and the beau...only focussed to exploit thecommon man by pressurising him to pay income tax and failure to do so will be punished with rigorous imprisonement and heavy penalties. Now in 21st century, lets all rise to bring a change, let us all fight to restore our lost glory, let us expand our territories to IRAN on one side and to singapore on the other. Just shouting and pressurising the politician will not help, because they all lack will power, respect for nation, respect for tax payer and respect for their mother, sister, daughter and wife. they are zombies who cannot act.

Wake Up and ActBy: Wg Cdr Rajinder K Chaudhary,VSM(Retd) | Friday , 5 Dec '08 12:34:29 PM Reply | Forward If the Writer is Really a Person by the name of Shishir Gupta and not a Psuedoname of a Ghost Writer,the Edit then is indeed a Masterpiece.Precisely he has hit the nail on the Head.Let the Powers who rule over the destiny of our country disect every word of brilliance and turn it into an opportunity for Action.Otherwise a Poet so well known had so aptlyl said years and years back regardless of his revised thinking at a later date "NAH SAMJHO GEY TAU MITT JAO GEY AAI HINDUSTAN WALLO-THUMARI DASTAN BHI NA HOGEE DASTANON MAIN. "(OH THE CITIZENS OF INDIA-IF YOU DONOT UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS-YOU WILL BE WIPED OUT FROM YOUR EXISTANCE AND FROM THE HISTORY ).Amen.

Straight, To the pointBy: Avinash Mulye | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:28:34 AM Reply | Forward Excellent article. Hard hitting. No BS.

Corruption and CrimeBy: srirengs | Friday , 5 Dec '08 11:19:44 AM Reply | Forward I think most importantly Rahul Gandhi and the younger group of politicians should join together and fight against corruption which is one of the main reasons for all this mess. It is a known fact that the State Government is not willing to act against D and his men. Let this be tackled first. This itself will go a long way in ensuring that there is no local help for the terrorists.
