Who decides a likeable reply is not likeable?
I like most of your replies but I would not like them all because that will give me a point each and nothing to you. The like button here is not like a Like button on FB where you do it to make your presence felt. If you felt the answer was likable what stopped you to like that one? Call me a bully if you like but please do not support spammers.

I am really sad to hear from kalyani sir that i am a spammer i was not expecting from you sir. U said me i stopped, but you described me as spammer of boddunan site, i am really sad because i really felt this site as my family and whereas about liking each and every post well i will say that i was reading every comments and as a gesture of appreciation i was liking the post and as you suggested i stopped liking post. But i am really feeling low because i was really not excepting from you kalyani sir.
Sorry for butting in ! What you did was spamming and as a moderator Kalyani has corrected you, so take a balanced view and make sure you dont repeat the mistake, there ends the matter, no need to feel low or high since she is doing her job ...By the way, we all have made mistakes and have been corrected by moderators from time to time, so again no need to feel low , since it is part and parcel of a discussion site !

Right from Nehru/Gandhi family to Ambedkar, Bindranwale, Goddess Durga and Mahishasura, religious feelings caste feelings have all been discussed so why leave out great personalities like the ones I mentioned?

usha manohar replied to the topic Dowry and alimony.
by Ashish
If demanding dowry is a crime then demanding alimony is womens rights how it is possible???? If dowry is a crime then alimony also must be a crime
There is absolutely no right to alimony since even a deserving totally dependent wife who has no career and money of her own, worked like a slave for the welfare and upkeep of her family, has to fight it out at the family court which is most of the time prejudiced against the women of our country and our Indian men never complain but lord it up when the wife works free of cost giving her all to the family but question her right for maintenance when things go wrong and the poor woman is literally on the street ..

usha manohar replied to the topic Fabrication of evidence. .
There is no shred of evidence to show that ABVP raised those slogans because the picture says nothing at all and news item could have been fabricated and a few people dressed up in saffron holding ABVP placards ...the grand old party is very capable of it since it has done only such things in the past and will continue to do so, no one would believe such flimsy evidences..

Let me inform readers that many in Saudi are convinced that India will similarly become Islamic nation in just another 100 years. Maybe the period is not correct, but the threat is real as it happened in Kashmir and East Pakistan. Remember entire Indonesia became Muslim inside 100 years as Buddhism and Hinduism was thrown out. Part of this due to the archaic practices of Hindus themselves and many who sided against their own community.
This is a real case scenario and must be guarded against
Yes of course , the rate at which they are growing here is proof of that...We also have politicians who are extremely communal when it comes to minority interests just to make sure that their positions are safe. I wish BJP and Modi takes a firm stand and brings in a uniform civil code which would be helpful to the nation and its interest, of course parties like Congress would oppose with all their might showing their communal tendencies but the large majority of the people will definitely support it !

However, I was reading that over the years even that modest allocation was not utilised fully by the previous governments ( will try to provide a link when I find the article). No wonder our poor army personnel are so badly equipped . One should admire the courage and the patriotism of our people and armed forces who join and render their services inspite of these short comings.
It may be a good idea to send the whole lot of our politicians who beat their chest about patriotism on a compulsory military training for a year before they join politics..
The congress is to blame for many things and Nehru was responsible for surrendering the leadership of Asia to China. During his time Dr Rajendra Prasad made a mockery by a ludicrous statement that the army be disbanded ( In 1955). Nehru was always scared of a military coup and downgraded the army. Even later Congress leaders never realised importance of military. Only Modi government appears to be serious.
Incidentally Kargill and 65 war at best were a draw only. Only the victory in 71 is worth talking about, but that was also as the Pak had just 0ne squadron and 3 division in East. Pakistan miscalculated on US support, which was not forthcoming as Indira invoked the security pact with Russia.
In fact small gains made in the 1965 war were given away during the Tashkent agreement, god knows why? We lost many more soldiers than Pakistan and many more artileries and tanks than them , so it was definitely not a win..
