Maya Tricks MuslimsBy: Sunil Maingi | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 18:33:15 PM Reply | Forward Come elections every political party starts wooing Muslims. It seems that is the time when every one realizes that they are one third of the population. Only when the elections are close, there are special sops announced by the party in power and special promises made by other parties. It is these politicians who have never allowed Muslims to think themselves of Indians. If the politicians do only a fraction of what they have promised to the Muslims for the entire country, there will be no alienation and the country will move forward truly well integrated. Despite what all parties have claimed there contribution in upliftment of Muslims, the ground reality is that they are still backward, and exploited by politicians of all colors. The politicians have a vested interest to keep Muslims and other backwards just that. They can easily show the garden path to a have not and ensure their own well being.

Mayawathi and her promisesBy: maccikhan | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 18:23:20 PM Reply | Forward Beleive me MAYAWATI is just a hallo vessel trying to enthral Muslims with ther MAYA JADOO, she will never do, niether she will be allowed to do what she is promissing. Muslims in India do not need a persian or a Arabic University and vote bank politics. The best for Muslims in India is to be independently think what is best for them, and join or strengthen the political stream which would finally considers them as Indians. Perhaps it is honestly better to strengthen BJP itself, because a known enemy is better than a unknown fools. All the parties have been fooling us one way or the other, BJP considers Muslims as enemies of the nation, enenmies of Hindus(which is just not true) just b'coz a handfull of Muslims names and faces (AS THEY HAVE PRESUMED CRIMINALS AND MURDERERS TO BE)have been screened on the TV Screens all over. Cinflicts of interests, thoughts, Ideas and Ideologies, are the healthy features of any society, unfortunately our politicians give a communal colour to all this.

Mayawati and her vote getting politics.By: Jai Singh | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 15:04:19 PM Reply | Forward This is vote politics at its worst. There should be rules to prevent such wastage of government money and wooing doubtful voters with the tax payers money before elections.

With an eye on LS polls Maya woos MuslimsBy: Present | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 10:09:41 AM Reply | Forward 3rd rate gutter politics. Nothing better can be expected......., . Such acts will only fuel the communal divide and bring in Talibanic line of thinking. This is not good for anybody, neither the Indian muslims nor other religions. Gr8 future for India, Very soon this nation will start looking like Iraqi terrotiry.

At least, we won't have these jahil politicians trying to outdo each other with their crazy schemes.

Islamic stateBy: Ashish | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 6:31:16 AM Reply | Forward Great going Mayawati. I believe keeping up with the spirit you can declare UP as Islamic state and take it out of the union. Anyway it is no more than a drag on the country

Maya By: Sana | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 4:56:44 AM Reply | Forward WE need more of her type of politicians, who are die hard Muslims fans! Why are we the most tolerant people in the world? Why can't we ever stand up for something and do it. People like her have truly driven the sane, intelligent people to insanity. Why is it important that we need a support from one community, then being hindus is our votes not important. Then maybe we hindus should vote her and the likes of her out. Enough is enough lady, stop dividing India and start seeing reason in Unity or if do not have the vision for our country then have the decency to get out of politics and leave it to people who can actually govern with equal importance for all communities. This is our country, not just one community's. Idiot!

More of Mayawati neededBy: rambhau ghorpade | Tuesday , 14 Oct '08 13:54:05 PM Reply | Forward Indians are indeed an undisciplined lot. See the number of drunks killing people driving on the streets. See the crime rate going berserk... We seriously need an Islamic nation and the Sharia. The Supreme Court can be dispensed with and no one other than Mayawati can enable that crime-free society in India this way. She will soon give UP an islamic name as well and we can't do anything about it. The left will whole-heartedly support her.

How far is "Islamic republic of India"?By: Jatin | Monday , 13 Oct '08 22:08:28 PM Reply | Forward Any true secular democracy should ban any religious schools/university, funded by ANY state or Central Govt. Politicians like Mayawati, Sonia Gandi, Mulayam Amar Singh, Laloo Yadav etc are facilitating the self-destruction of Indian democracy. We will not have even this flawed democracy in near future and will become an “Islamic republic of India” (if the mullahs allow to keep the “India” part).
