Bajirao replied to the topic How sell our hand made products online.
Yes that's true. These sites do ask for tax information. I think someone recommended to use FB for selling the items,this is a good option as well. Also you can create small website of yours that indicate the information about the items you plan to sell and advertise that webpage through different ways like Whatsapp.

Bajirao replied to the topic Some minor mistakes that changed the course of history...
Very interesting article. Such minor mistakes led to big disasters. I wonder if there won't have been these minor problems our history would have completely changed; there would not have been Titanic disaster or World war 1.
But these disasters were pre-decided and no one can change the fortune.

Bharatiya Janatha Party is actually a religious party. All the members in this party are Hindus. But people who believe in other religions never can give support to Modi and his government. It is a fact that Modi is a good leader and he knows the way to rule the country. All Indians know that Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi were very capable Prime Ministers of our country. But we cannot compare Rahul Gandhi with them even if he is also from the same family. In my opinion, he is not capable to rule India.
Though BJP members are mainly Hindu, there are very few Muslims too. Supporting a political party should not be based upon religious ground rather a party must be adjudged on the basis of their performance. Thus, if this government works for the country and the countrymen irrespective of any bias, if there is progress in every field, corruption decreases and the overall status seems hopeful then there is no reason to vote against it. The party is not against including people from the minority groups as members. The people from the minority groups need to think above religion and must trust a national party and join them to broaden its sphere and should not reject BJP only on the grounds of religion.

Personally I love Khadi both cotton and silk ! However, Khadi is very expensive now so I am not sure how it would work out to wear Khadi on a certain day of the week !
Khadi is my favourite too and nowadays the khadi fabric has evolved a lot. Different kind of designing on khadi is available too. Yes, it's expensive but you see, from 2nd October to 30th January the Khadi emporiums offer a huge discount so the customers can take the benefit of it.

By this logic every new government will find previous governments a failure. let the new government make its policies and not search for alibis to cover anticipated failures. If the misadventures of previous governments were so monumental the new government overcame then in such short time. Even bias should have reasonability. Let fresh air blow.
The instances of examples of intolerance are in fact failures of governance for sake of power
So, failure of which governance for sake of power were you referring to ?
The failures in Kashmir to prevent anti national activities for sake of power which a member said is a case of tolerance.

I am new to Boddunan, but I have been enjoying the forums right now. although I am not very involved into the forums, I try to find time and go through it. But the forums help me gain more knowledge, so many things I am not aware about but not I have been able to keep myself updated.

Boddunan is one of the legit sites I have seen and I find it very useful especially the discussions on a variety of issues. I am glad that it is my first platform for article writing. But I am not fully active here for last few months, because of some other commitments and time constraints, but I always try to login here daily and read posts in the discussion forum. I am quite happy to be here whenever I am free. Still I feel that if the Admin can introduce some healthy contests, etc., it will motivate the members.

Bajirao answered the question What does freedom mean to you?.
According to me freedom is a way to express yourself and ability to do the things in a right way. Many people take advantage of this freedom and do many crimes or illegal things and then say we have freedom to do . But that is not right way. Misuse of freedom is not considered as a freedom.

Bajirao liked the topic Modi as a leader.
After 66 years of near disastrous rule a man in the shape of Modi has emerged He is a scruplusly honest man with clear vision. He has changed many a course and for once India has a leader who is not ashamed to be a Hindu. His prayng at the Japanese holy Shrine was appreciated. He has brought the attention of the world to India. He needs to be given a decade to set right the policies of vote banks, riots, flawed crony politics and a policy to denegrate India. Even AB Vajpaee is not a patch on the dynamism of Modi

All rights come with responsibilities nothing is freehold, so women should use them only when they are cornered or deprived of their rights, not to harass others !
True..with rights and freedom, responsibilities too come and when educating the women about their basic rights, it is also necessary to educate them regarding their responsibilities. Most people, even men do that, why only blame women, when they look out for their rights tend to take only what is in their interests and ignore the rest sometimes even causing harm in the process. So it is a very basic and essential thing, both for men as well women/
Absolutely ! That reminds me of an incident one of my neighbors told me. She is a lawyer and one of her clients was a separated woman with 2 small children, claiming maintenance from the husband ,while he was openly living with another woman. In between the arguments, it seems the judge began lecturing the lawyers gathered in the court hall about how women in India are asking for more rights , which needs to be curbed. My neighbor knew that her client would never get any justice, so she asked the case to be heard by a different judge quoting the reasons.Thankfully the judge was transferred since there were many complaints about him and the lady got maintenance !
So, even with laws and rights in place , one has to really fight for it, our men see to it that women are denied what is due to them at every step possible !
When you talk of women rights I presume you are referring to Non Muslim women, because Islamic women are governed by Sharia and have hardly any rights. With who do Muslim women fight for their rights?
I was talking generally ...But yes Muslim women are governed by Sharia and they are fighting against it. However, I feel that they are not so badly off because second marriage and divorce has never been a taboo for them like it was and still is with Hindus.

I agree. Picking up on a silly aspect of one member leading the pack is childish. People who are criticizing can suggest which site they feel is good > I will give a reply. Otherwise complaining about the site is childish. Nobody is holding this person on the site , there are 100 other sites, go there, but that requires courage.
