this is not to say i condone the lynching of muslims suspected of being involved with beef or related issues. but, it is true that such incidents have been happening since 1947 (as pointed out in another thread). asking modi to rein in vhp rss is no different from asking him to move a bill to abolish polygamy among muslims. i am not offering a justification for the recent attacks but pointing out that they have always haunted us since independence. the only difference is that this time it is hindus who are the perpetrators. modi has regretted it at a union, or pm, level. not satisfied? vote congress next time. no matter which political party wins, it is india that loses. as per exit polls bihar is lost. indian economy is fucked. i need a job -- send me pm if you need a 50 year old loyal house-help in usa.
dineshan is glossing over hindu crimes while forgetting about how much benefit could have been delivered to the country had nda had a majority in rajya sabha. regrettable, as rajan said, the opposition is indulging in "political opportunism." the bjp did it to once but there has to be a line where a political party must decide (be it bjp or congress) whether its opportunism will harm dineshan. oh well, who cares of what i think and who ever had moral rectitude in indian politics starting from nehru.

I am surprised that Kancha is not protesting by eating barbecued cow meat. Looks like he is busy with the anti-Modi "intolerance" movement in Delhi. Today, MMS, Kancha, a Paki, etc., are at a meeting deploring Modi's intolerance. (When Bihar's election results are announced, MMS, Soonya & Laloo will go into a deep depression.)

- upa 2 got hit by corruption scams. it led to policy paralysis (bureaucrats stopped pushing files). sure the bjp stalled lok sabha proceedings several times but the nda/bjp could not stop the legislation of a bill after it had passed the test of rajya sabha. the acts of disruption by bjp match the acts of disruption by the congress in numbers probably (and this is in one year -- by the end of the term the number of disruptions by congress in rs will probably become a guinness record) but congress's act of disruption in the rajya sabha is to deny the mandate of the voters (they have the mandate of the nation) by a peculiar flaw in our democracy. it is, as rajan or mukherjee said, political opportunism. would the bjp have done the same thing had they been in congress's place today? maybe. when they do we will cry foul. but we can't equate what bjp did to upa 2 with what congress is doing to nda.
- upa 2, notwithstanding the policy paralysis that scams made them retreat into, were a disaster from day one. sonia's appeasement-of-poor socialistic politics shut up mms (that's how sonia had once garnered votes -- by visiting village to village after the narasimha rao dethroning). only 3% of indians pay income tax. where will mms get revenue from? retro-tax cases demands by the union started that overturned supreme court verdicts (vodaphone, cairn). they spelt further disaster. at least modi, even after having failed to get gst and land bill passed (and knowing he won't be able to do it during his term) is STILL DOING SOMETHING for growth and development of the economy (ask me WHAT). what did mms do in the policy paralysis state? first you tell me. (at least modi is trying within the limitations he he becoming aware of -- what did mms try?)

1) So, my post about Rajan and the potential for opportunities being forfeited was part of the parody theme or should be?confuzzled dude wrote:Sir, the whole theme of this thread was parodying "giving back of awards" and you also said "Modi or no Modi", as if Modi has got nothing to do with any of the current events.

2) Yes, "Modi or no Modi" was stated in the context of potential investors beating a retreat if they see a high degree of dissension in the country's politics and with the opposition presenting visuals of a society that is in the middle of some cataclysm (as compared to the imagined utopia if it was up until last year). In other words, if Modi leaves, the investors are not going to rush back in, this damage is not going to be reversed that quickly. In the meantime, the conditions that make India palatable today may changed as well. There could well be genuine causes of concern over this government's performance in a couple of years, if it does not deliver. The pretense that communal clashes are a new thing in India and therefore we will do everything in our power to derail this government is disingenuous opportunism.

a war involves two parties. what will it take for modi to have said that lynching a man is unacceptable? on the one hand you say that you are worried about foreign capital drying up, and on the other you seem to imply that modi and the BJP govt should continue on an unyielding and unapologetic path. you want a group of people who do not hold political power but have the power of the pen (or the keyboard) to back off and stop being critical of modi. aren't you a big proponent of bowing to real politik? how realistic is it to expect that the press or other free agent journalists are going to back off? and if modi makes public pronouncements critical of communal violence, it may still not satisfy the journalists and the liberal press, but it sure as hell will calm the investment community. why won't you support such a move? i am just flummoxed.

What do you think the opposition parties should do to grab this once in a Yuga opportunity, shine Modiji's shoes, help him button his coat, clean his bathrooms? Would that prevent paralyzation? What is the accountability of each side, Opposition 90% and Modi 10% or Modi 90% and opposition 10% or is it 50% each? What about the total failure of foreign policies of this govt? Is the opposition accountable for those gaffes as well?Kris wrote:

How many times would you like Modi to apologize/criticize the Dadri lynching ? once a day ? twice ? how come not ONE leader criticise UP CM - who is responsible for law & order? he made a statemeng and CPM said too little too late, and cong said not enough.
Simple it is Modi lynching. if he became a Christian or a Muslim hw will be instantly purified and secularised. So intolerant are the Cong(i) and secularists against the hindus.

Sensex down 600 and Re down to 66.76 per $.
Accept Modi's hindutva and and see India's economy grow.
Or, accept intolerant anti-hindu, family political forces and see them run a semi-socialist govt driving down the economy.
Those are the only two options Indians have.

He also spoke against intolerance and made a big deal of it which goes completely against your line of argument. Just as you guys suggest that communal clashes are nothing new, GST issue is not new either it has been dragged on for a long time. What gives? It is naive to think that businesses will jump in solely on relaxed policies; they won't if they don't see other necessary infrastructure pieces (power, roads etc.,) in place, Just ask Andhra CM. If this administration which has majority (notwithstanding Rajyasabha) can't work with the opposition, whose fault is it? It shows incompetence of leadership of this administration which is not savvy enough to work with fellow lawmakers.brie wrote:what rajan said, loosely (rest is my construct), was -
