UPPER CASTE EXISTANCE IN INDIA IS IN DANGER WITH WITH 2ND CLASS CITIZENSHIP STATUS
RB: This shameless and shameful discrimination is going to bite India in the behind very badly. The so called general category with special knowledge and skills are going to pull up stakes and flee the country.

Independence Day A Far Cry from that Tryst with Destiny
Avinash and Palhali: I agree with the following proviso's: A small portion of the vale has to be carved out for the Pundits to be a part of India. Some more adjustments to give India the commanding heights to India for security. Removal of Jammu and Ladakh to be part of India(and no partition of these territories) and full right of settlement of Indian citizens in every part of India. Reintroduction of POTA with protections introduced to insure rights of accused and protection of habeas corpus and one set of private and public laws(all laws) for all citizens of India. I do not consider the rapacious pygmies that rule capable of implementing these measures.

Got Em: A Haul of Ten Islamic Terrorists
Spencer: I think terrorism must be stopped in its tracks in any civilized society, but for a society to remain civilized the means for achieving the objective are also important. Rights of the accused have to be protected and habeas corpus strictly followed. With those caveats I fully agree. I also agree with you, if India has to remain a civilized society, all religious groups, including Muslims, should join in fighting terrorism, whether it is ULFA terrorism, Naxalite terrorism or Islamic terrorism. If this cooperation does not happen, India iwill be in dire straits.

Avinash: I think the facts on the ground will tell you that it is too late for half measures.
I think the genii is out of the bottle. Yes India must remain a secular country whatever the protestations of the Hindu right, but a secular country with principle. You cannot consign millions of Hindus and Buddhists to the hegemony of theistic fundamentalist islam. And doing it in the name of secularism is obscene. Something has to give and my suspicion is that the J&K confederation will be the first thing to go.

Thank You CB: I love Nehru's speech. We did produce great men and women in the past: The same genes have come down the pike: where has the greatness gone ?

Avinash: I think India should make some basic decisions, whether the mirage of Kashmir is really a useful one. Make sure of controlling the relevants strategic heights of the vale also carve out a tehsil for the Pandits to br s psrt of the new Jammu state and hand over the rest to the Kashmiri Muslims under an agreed to formula of self rule. Then remove Jammu and Ladakh and make them states within the union. I do not think a majority Muslim state can live in any secular entity. I think the precepts are antithetical to freedom of religion.

BK: Thank You. I saw some of those founding fathers and knew some of them. What I detected in each one of them was an auro of self sacrifice which is absolutely absent with the current lot. Which should have been replaced with love of country which is also generally absent.
