Shampa Sadhya replied to the topic Padma Vibhushan for Dilip kumar.
@ usha manohar
Thanks for all the information. I simply wanted to point out to @rambabu that Dilip Kumar's talent is definitely unquestionable so he is very much a deserving actor to receive the coveted award. His patriotism was questioned at one point of time but he tried to prove himself innocent. He succeeded and later on people did not doubt his love for India that's why no one is opposing the award but if he had not been proved innocent then what? Should love for the nation be the last criterion? I totally disagree with the view that achievement should be of sole importance. I have nothing against the actor but I am against the 'only achievement 'criterion.

Of course, the belief that moles indicate your destiny is a belief for certain people It's like Jyotishya which has no scientific evidence. But there are many believers all over.

I know what all has been written in the article. But , many do not believe, because of the absence of a scientific evidence.
Astrology and all studies like it are metaphysical. It is differ from science. It is not possible to have evidence of these.
I agree.Though there is no possibility of Scientific evidence pertaining to Astrology and other such things, there are many who believe in Astrology and its predictions including the veracity in Moles.Because of this you will find " What the Stars foretell " is a regular column in almost all the News Papers.
Not only newspapers, TV channels. blogs all is available on astrology.Astrology is game of probabality. If some forecast will true that it is enough for believing in astrology.

Congress is the epitome of intolerance. Sikhs were massacred during the regime of Rajiv Gandhi. Congress party did not stand on the dissent opinions of Jayprakash Narayan. Emergency was clamped. The Congress completely broke the constitutional mechanism and brought Dictatorship.

usha manohar replied to the topic Ruskin Bond - India has always been intolerant !.
Indian culture , customs and traditions can be stifling , this is the same among all religious believers because basically they all follow the same way of life ...We can see how intolerant we are as a society, the way women are treated and anyone with a broad minded view is perceived . This is not something that is happening now but has been always there ..

@ Shampa..
Dilip Kumar had to face a lot of protests from within the Industry and from people outside, the only consolation was that media was not at all as dominant then, so the exposure was much less. had it been now, he would have faced very difficult times ...He did realise his mistake or was made to backtrack because f the protests and made a statement saying that India and its interests were his priority .

The problem also lies with those who bow down before them because of their economic strength. One can understand the levels to which one has to stoop while visiting or living in Saudi Arabia - all ladies regardless of religion will have to wear long loose dress that covers completely and a head scarf and absolutely no other religious symbol can enter the country etc etc..But people , Indian and even Western people put up with all that because of the money ..

I am a globe trotter and people in developed countries ask me about hunger and lack of nutrition for Indian masses. Not about rockets. I have a difficult time to explain.
I agree with that and I have had similar experiences when I deal with people from other countries...what has happened in India is a lop sided growth that is going in two different paths.On the one hand we have pathetic infra structure with shortage of power and clean drinking water in almost all major cities and sanitation is lesser said the better.Added to all this is the dubious distinction of being one of the dirtiest countries in the world but we are first in tele-communications, satellite programs etc etc.. It clearly shows how the political mentality has worked over the years.
Talking about other countries , they have fulfilled the basic needs of their citizens a long time back and now can afford to take interest in other matters since they are economically strong unlike us. There is a old saying in my language which when translated says " Even if there is no food to eat, keeping flowers in one's hair is essential :..

Germany and Switzerland are both members of European Space Agency and their contributions towards Space research is quite significant. Those countries, in addition to other European countries have understood the importance and need of space research fully well and their significant contributions towards it is evidence that they do not tale this subject lightly. However, they choose to come together and spend the money together instead of doing it all by themselves. Even smallest of countries such as Austria has spent more than 50 million Euros on the research, read the below link to get a gist of what ESA is about!
As far as perception about India to foreigners is concerned, most of them still think that tigers and elephants roam the streets. There is nothing we can do about their thinking however our scientists are wise enough to their own priorities!
