What about other hundreds of Commissions By: Rafiuddin Farooqui | Monday , 20 Jul '09 5:36:48 AM Reply | Forward Arun Shourie forget to mention that other hundreds of commissions set-up, About Riots where genocide of Muslims happended, not implemented. One thing I will tell you, Corrruption, Mental, Physical, Material, Moral or any other corruption is bad for the country. Where people write venom against Muslims, corrupt writings how you can think that this country will prosper. Muslims are the most sufferer in this country. The justice System, Police, Agencies,Govenment, Political parties, Insitituitions all are 99% dominated by Hindus. Muslims are negligible. Due think such mentality and unjust soceity can prosper our country. When you have corrupt thinking, today you allow Hindus to rape Muslims women. Tomorrow this goons rape your sisters and mothers. Such corrupt practices become disease. Dont cry Shourie, You will bear the fruit whatever you have sowed.

BJP Lost by Ignoring its Core Hindutva BaseBy: Singha | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 21:02:51 PM Reply | Forward Any political Hindu would commit harakiri rather than vote congress. BJP lost because it went on appeasement mode towards musalmaans rather than fighting it. A thoroughly communal congress I riding on islamist and isai votes won the elections by defending its core communal constituency and agenda.BJP failed to mobilise its Hindu constituency effectively.Make no mistake mr. pseudo liberal. (muslim masquerading as liberal). Victory of congress indeed is victory of vicious votebank communal politics.

Mr Shourie what is stopping the Seva? By: Bindu Tandon | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 18:29:13 PM Reply | Forward Agreed, Indian democracy is seriously flawed!I promise you more people will sit up and acknowledge the truth if you could uncover the truth about any two raging subjects of debate of the day: Gujarat 2002 and Mumbai 26/11.So much speculation, and lies.Every institution seems flawed.Who wants to read more bad news?It will happen in any case!That's why the BJP lost.Cassandras' ably buried by a violently oppose media no doubt.Lets have resolution please.Can you publish a white paper on BALCO and Centaur please?We believe in you but there is too much stacked against you.Help!

Invoking 'gods' as and when it suits themBy: Liberal | Tuesday , 14 Jul '09 7:36:15 AM Reply | Forward I have been reading mr.shourie since the days of AR Antulay in Maharashtra. The whole country, including the majority among the minority was desperately seeking to build a strong opposition party to Congress. But unfortunately, we ended up with a party of narrow minded self-copyrightedly politically-righteous party called BJP.1.Why was mr.shourie not able to point out the fault in LK Advani's opening speech for elections'09 when the latter invoked Ram temple with a mischievous smile. 2.Why doesn't he accept the fact that he also tried to invoke moditva in the midst of election campaign.In fact, they, including himself, were testing waters. They have this defective product called hindutva which even Hindus reject. They get ample of space in media, but use it mainly for shouting down the logic with rhetoric. They forget the fact that their overall vote share in the name of hindutva is within the early tens of percentage, not even in twenties. So, do not bury your head in sand!
