Who is dreaming of Great IndiaBy: Sane Voice | Monday , 9 Nov '09 0:14:06 AM Reply | Forward Indian political leaders are doing a great job of dividing India into a number of small countries. This is China's dream. With political parties like BJP, Shiv Sena etc who needs enimies like Pakistan and China. If these gentlemen keep up doing what they are doing then surely India will subdivide into small countries. People of India should wake up and not fall for the parties who profess to be the saviour of Hindu religion or hindu culture. These parties are only have one motive and that is their own power and to hell with the country. Since the defeat of BJP, this wonderful party has not made any comments on the state of the economy or the nation. They are too busy in thier own power struggle and care very little for the people of India. Communists are busy supporting Maoists and care less for Indian future. they oppose any development issues and support no one for national interest. Why not just stand out with a board "Welcome China and Pakistan we are ready for slavery".

was India one countryBy: Y.S.Chandrashewkhar | Sunday , 8 Nov '09 17:27:54 PM Reply | Forward culturally India has allways been one country since 4000 yrs. one finds a person from the nothern most part of India visiting a temple in kanyakumari and vice-versa. Hinduism is not dogmatic. the idea of one god formless but also with forms is the basis. that everything that exists is only a manifestation of god makes it the most tolerant country. but if others dont reciprocate singing Iswara alla terenam becomes stupid.

The dream of Greater Bharat By: Indian | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 15:54:43 PM Reply | Forward We have to salute RSS, BJP ,Shiv Sena etc for creating a sense of brotherhood in the entire nation in terms of Religion and other communal factors. Now their power hungry ministers will create Greater MP, Greater Gujarat, Greater Karanataka..and so on. Sounds great keep going Mr Bhagwat, Mr Advani, Mr Naidu, Mr Modis etc. I think Gujaratis are having a better life and future in America and other parts of the country rather than in Gujarat. Indians have a better deal , than in India under the power of BJP. It is like Afgjans living under the guns of Taliban or Iranians living in the hell of religious leaders. But history has shown the door to this religious fanatics and mad people.

DattaBy: Bratati | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 14:42:45 PM Reply | Forward I wonder what would have been the so called Bihari messiahs' reaction had Bihar job market been overcrowded with outsiders ?

Who is S.S. Chouhan?By: Ronny | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 9:55:56 AM Reply | Forward I think Chouhan should go

Divide till noting is leftBy: Felix Rozario | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 8:47:48 AM Reply | Forward Dont' we have enough divisions in the world, the rich , the poor, the whites, the blacks, the filthy rich and the poorest of the poor, international borders and the armed conflicts that take place there, and in our own country the numerous divisions based on caste creed language region culture and what not. Now do want to divide the countryfurther by caliming that Bihar is for Biharis, Maharasthra for Marathis, Tamil Nadu for Tamils etc till we reach a stage when noting is left of this great nation. Creations of states on linguistic lines was indeed the biggest blunder after independence.LET NOT politicians with parochial inclinations be allowed to divide this country further.Vote them out before it is too late.

Shivraj's BiharBy: JK Singh | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 8:30:49 AM Reply | Forward Hahahhaahh..WHat a joke..Shivraj..who wants to be in your state? And please do not misguide people by saying you should give jobs only to locals and not to Biharis. Are you providing jobs? Are you doing anything for development.. Come on ....give me a break...

Biharis everywhereBy: Ashok | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 8:07:37 AM Reply | Forward The thing is this: Laloo and Paswan has made Bihar into an industrial banjar-land. So, no wonder, Biharis have to migrate to anywhere to survive and the locals feel threatened -- be it in Maharashtra or MP. However, before Lalloos ask Chauhan anything, they should answer why Biharis have to seek jobs outside? They are the biggest culprits, posing as the messiahs of Biharis.

The Chief Minister of MP must GO.By: NP Singh | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 7:39:35 AM Reply | Forward Backtracking or tendering an apology by a person of the stature of the CHIEF MINISTER of a state must not be allowed to get away for free for saying what he said which was NOT ONLY anti national but also Unconstitutional.Such leaders are the real threat to the Nation from within.AND must be gotten rid of as soon as possible for the sake of good health of the nation.RIGHT.???

Locals to have opportunitiesBy: Ram | Saturday , 7 Nov '09 6:51:02 AM Reply | Forward The MP CM has talked about priority for Locals in Jobs. There is nothing wrong in it. Every country or State should take care of those who have voted them to power and keep their Growth as the first priority. It is simply failure of UP and Bihar states to have neglected their own people. The Jobs could only be spared to migrants, if their is a shortage of skillset.
