  • This is what the proud winners of this new mandate have to remember. People give such stunning mandates for change, for new ideas, a shift from the past. This is particularly so now, when people vote out of aspiration and ambition rather than grievance and vengeance. That is why the leaders who have won this mandate, Sonia, Manmohan Singh, Rahul, would do well to remember that tough lesson of 1984: trust your instinct and do not flinch from change, and a legacy of success is yours. Slip back into formulas of the past, and the euphoria of 206 could vanish twice as fast as that of 412.

    The Pains of Contemporary Period of People especially the Sikhs in India By: Balbir Singh Sooch, Ludhiana | 14-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward The pains of the contemporary period of people explained in one of the history books titled ‘The Bleeding limbs of the Sikhs’ read and is like the modern-day shameful history of people especially Sikhs, that impels to forget cruelty meted out to them in the past since they stand cheated out now more badly without any justice in sight for them ‘Maharaja Dalip Singh like cheated out’ at the hands of aliens in the history. It depicted the pains, the killings, the disappearances and the stories of persons especially the Sikhs, to keep them alive in history, in face of cheaters within and outside the Sikh community. The Operation Blue Star is to remain unforgettable like inflicted pains being part of the history in so named independent India. It unfolds untold unbearable sufferings of the Sikhs but questions the history of protecting the religion or the politics of religion only to teach a lesson to them in all respects, in a fraudulent way.

    Verdict 2009 and 1984By: anand desai | 06-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward the congress when it comes to power allows the bureaucrats to earn money, the aam aadmi is always the looser, pakistan becomes belligerrent and militancy increase? see the past years and you wuold ealsie the above, the people should come over caste and looks to vote for the right people, tell me how is nuclear power going to be cheap, people like ambanis will make money and we shall pay more for electricity etc., so the amm aadmi always looses out when congress comes to power, there is going to be hard lesson to learn for the people of india in the next five years. I also agree with Anil above, if the Left was not allowing the congress to work for the benefit of the people they should ahve resigned like vajpayee and advani did after the jayalaitha fiasco in 1996? so people of india be prepared for a breaking of your hearts and pockets as taxes are going to rise due to unaccounted sops to people in the last 5 years? chidambaram has crucified us the aam admi?
    Have you seen denial of bail to any criminal leader in our country?By: Rathi Ram Doodwala | 06-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward There is no doubt that persons like bhindrawala, osama-bin-laden, modi or those involved in the 84 riots should be brought to justice.Many innocent people have suffered in the hands of terrorist like leaders which have so far not been taken to task. Ashok Singhal, Giri Raj Kishore, Advani and many others are also roaming freely as if nothing has happened.There seems to be one constitution for the people another for leaders.
