Babu saroj replied to the topic India finally coming to terms with its population...
its a good sign for India to go into the path of development. Which will help India in near future. Increasing population was always a big problem but it is nice to hear about the decreasing of population in India

Exactly!! The leftists in India look only at the Hindu culture in their endeavour to show how it is all untrue and silly and outdated and all that rubbish. But the same thing applies to other religions which they conveniently ignore, none of it is rubbish for them. These leftists are quite two-faced in their approach at their so-called progressive outlook. And as far as forcing it on others go, no one, not even Modi is forcing Hindu religion on any one. Only thing he is trying to do is give back the country its real identity of being a Hindu country, in spite of what the leftists might say. This country was and will remain a Hindu country. He who wants to believe in mythology may do so or keep his own thoughts to himself.
It is amusing to see Hindu haters make it look as if Modi and RSS and other " Safforn" brigade iis trying to forcibly bring in Hindutva...For these people forced conversions of Hindus to Islam and Christianity through centuries is perfectly alright and anybody discusses it they come down with hammers and tongs! Honestly it is these psuedo whatever they call themselves , who are at the base of all communal problems in this country , they have to show they are superior to everyone at every step..
True Usha..that is what annoys me so much. They will keep on talking about superstitions and all the ills of Hindu religion, but the moment you say similar things about other religions, they will either clamp down their chowders or go into a defensive mode.

Babu saroj liked the topic How you view mythology!.
Politics is broadly divided as Left and Right. How you decide whether you are Left, Right or Centrist.
Here is a way. Here is a chart depending on your views on mythology. As I don't have any faith in mythology, which means only 'myth (untrue) , I can't decide whether I am Left or Right.

Babu saroj liked the topic Indian visa denied to U.S. body on religious freedom .
It is learnt that visa has been denied to a U.S. delegation representing Commission of religious freedom. May be authorities are not willing to present the real state of religious freedom but we must not hide even what is unpleasant. If we are transparent, we may improve. Significantly, even the UPA govt. had denied such VISA.

That too is another problem, some communities on the verge of extinction because of reduced numbers, Parsis being one of them, while they are the most intelligent, peaceloving and adorable communities in the world.
@Anil, giving monetary benefits in return for sterilization will not solve the problem. Sadly, this kind of attitude is so deeply ingrained in the psych of Indians thanks to a hundred kinds of freebies and subsidies thrown by the congress that, for each and every act one expects to be paid. Why cannot we look at it as our basic and fundamental duty towards our country? We take money for everything, now add getting sterilized to it, a nation of beggars. Give us money, only then we will work! That attitude needs to be changed.
I agree any kind of incentive should be based on quality and also on merit , nit simply bribing people to do things without understanding the importance of it or their own responsibility towards the country they live in..

Donald Trump if elected will make America into a circus company with is now one and tomorrow another policies making everyone dance to his tunes.. No doubt it is the most powerful country in the world and have a lot of clout in world politics and decision making.This particular organisation USCIRF is an independent advisory body that submits its reports to the government of America and as such the US government has very little role in its day today function !

Today we are the largest armaments buyers in the world because our economy is able to bear the expense and yet the infiltrators walk in. That should be the issue. How to make India stronger should be debated. Nehru bashing is not going to lead anywhere except making some babus and singhs happy again and again.
Vijay, first thing we are not blaming Nehru Ji, he is respected leader of India who sacrifice enough for the freedom. We are only debating about his policies. India is not capable in manufacturing armaments so it have only one alternates to buy from others. Now India is enough strong country and also needs of whole world. Nehru ji was founder of Non alliance group but after defeat from China he wrote letter to USA President for supply of armaments, and it was President of USA who stop Pakistan to attack on India when India was struggling with China. Hopeless non alliance group!
Nehru was a idealist and thus never understood power politics and famous Mao quote ' power comes out of a barrel of a gun'. He had a chance to be greatest leader in Asia but in ultimate analysis flunked. Why we cannot forget Nehru because he saddled India for ever with kashmir problem and lost territory to China. He reduced India to a second rate power. Hero worship of Nehru must stop as he left problems for Indians that can never be solved for next 100 years.

usha manohar replied to the topic Anti India slogan in JNU, Delhi.
Politics is much more lucrative than any job he can hope to get after his PHd and he knows that pretty well.. his speech and his body language clearly suggests that he is not as innocent nor inorant of facts as he make it seem or looks, or else he would not call for a press conference immediately after his bail and abuse the central government and Modi and also make references to himself as a very humble and patriotic person...Either way let us hope that everything comes out after the investigation !

Although I feel that Kanhaiya is a victim of bad publicity and false case based on doctored video, I am surprised at the wide coverage given to him. I hope ultimately he will be proved innocent.
I feel the wide coverage of the student leader will ultimately lead him to have a political career and his Phd will finally take a back seat. Youths must have their opinion and will certainly have an ideology but the moment they start getting into full-fledged national politics then they actually loose their focus.
