The ruling party still feels it is in opposition and government is being run by some other party. They are Muslim centric, and Congress eccentric . Hardlyany energy left for governance. Food prices are shooting up.

Very true.. I'm a supporter of Modi. Even after completion of two years of tenure, there are many issues crying for his attention. He failed to fulfill the Poll promises. Of course, i need not tell about Black Money. Now the condition is even the hard core supporters too are in a state of Disillusion. Yes. Rubbishing congress in no way helps. Wisdom lies in burying the Past and look in to the future for ways and means to make this country really developed.

Modi must thank himself for the kind of sense of disillusionment that is growing and creeping into the minds of his even die- hard fans as his promises were all dreamy stuff!! For instance his stand on black money betrays shocking lack of knowledge on the subject. Although he has been blessed with lower crude oil prices and softening of commodity price the health of the economy is far from satisfactory mainly because of alarming global slow-down. Making in India for whom?? Our export performance has been pathetic. Added to these is Arun Jaitley whose specialization is not finance and the motor mouth Subramanian Swamy who has launched a personal,vicious attack on one of the most cerebral,brilliant,competent and upright persons who ever held the office of RBI Governor's! Rubbishing or damning Congress years won't help!!

That's true. Many famed Historians and Indian Historians contested the issue Aryan Invasion. The web link that was given earlier to Anil clearly says Aryan invasion was a myth.

Why do you go ballistic always. Please be logical. The argument tha tis being developed with Sunil is that if it is true that minority has successfully ejected majority and SP was not bothered, then what was BJP and its watchdogs doing. They could have created enough noise, even if they were not in power. The local MP is a BJP person. In Kashmir where Hindus were less than 10% they being thrown out can be understood, but in heart of India majority community being thrown out is not understandable. if 350nHindu families have left than nearly 150 Muslim families have also left. And this has happened over a period of ten years. Various reasons are being put forward. The local MP who whipped up the issue as a communal is now himself back tracking. I do not at all disbelieve Sunil who is staying in Meerut so near to the place. I am trying to understand how polarisation is attempted by many parties before elections, which is unfortunate. The timing is suspect.

Because there were no Aryans from outside, so where is the question of their home. Also why Asians like Indians could not have gone to Europe, why it is always other way round?

Government employees cannot be openly seen as having views opposite to that of the government as it would lead to conflict of interest and cause bias in their working.

Quite a good information related to India. The facts about ancient India and its rich culture are unquestionable. Any how, about the origin of Aryans and their home still remains as a big question. That's why the home of Aryans could not be ascertained definitively.

Yes spitting is a national habit. Two wheeler drivers ahead of you will do so without caring if it hits persons behind them. So when such persons go abroad on a tour it takes time for them to adjust, but by that time the tour is over !.

Aryans was a term of respect in ancient India used for nobles and rulers. Thus it could be an Indian term. Also the Europeans when they started colonising Asia and Africa found well developed civilizations existing. So they developed the theory that in ancient times there was migration of Europeans into India and Iran and so on to claim that they also had a hand in our development then. Alexander invaded India in 323 BC, Mahabharata is more than 6000 years old and well developed languages were in vogue, so where does the Aryan from outside theory fit in. I was reading yesterday a bizarre theory that West Europeans interacted with upper castes and East Europeans with lower caste in India in ancient times. Ridiculous. India is what it was today even in ancient times. How ancient no one knows.

I thought, with countries like South Africa, New Zealand and Turkey softening their stance and with the vociferous support from Obama,, India's entry in to MTCR will no problem. Anyhow, as you said, these are Real Politics. I keep my fingers crossed and wait for the outcome.
