My thoughts, haikus and freelance musings
It’s clear that Modi can’t control the elements within his party. Lots of us like the idea of economic development, but hate the idea of a “Hindu nation”. Maybe Modi should split from the BJP and RSS and go his own way. That way, we can vote for development without the excess baggage of the BJP.
The RSS, VHP, and other hindu organizations are forever comparing India to Islamic nations and saying “See! If you tried this in Saudi Arabia, you would be killed!” But so what? Are our standards so pathetically low that we’re thrilled about being better than one of the most barbaric nations on the planet? Come on…that’s no achievement!
Just because someone is “incited” or “provoked”, doesn’t excuse their actions. They are still criminals.
If you ban beef for Hindus, you have to also ban meat for Jains
“Indian culture” needs to die. Only then can we move on to better and more civilized ideas.
Compared to Americans, why do Indian parents let their kids run wild?
India can never use terrorism as a tool. That is simply not who we are.
The past is over and done with. No one living today is responsible.
Jindal wants to leave his “Indian” tag behind. I support him.
Ready to eat foods are the future. Maggi is not a wake up call – just a step towards improvement.
