True, may be it will be not having all the features which a costly smartphone have, but may it satisfy the features which a common want to access at that cost.

It is no use blaming the Britishers alone for partition. It is a myth that Hindu and Muslim lived in harmony before the British Rule.Yes,the rulers did exploit to the hilt the extant discord and conflicts not only between Hindu and Muslim but also among feuding kings and kingdoms .This context needs adequate understanding and appreciation. The demand for Pakistan is grounded in the fact that after ruling the major part of Hindustan oppressively for centuries the Muslim leaders grew paranoid in the rise of power of Hindus under British Rule.

Exactly. The writer of the article has expressed his views. But it's a blunder on his part for hurting the sentiments of others. Bengalis, who revere Durga are hurt. Even Non-Bengalis sentiments are hurt. Coloring with caste to the pujas is not right.
That is why I believe that we should celebrate festivals in usual way without going deep in mythology. The public perception is all that matters. However the religious scholars may among themselves make any research and discuss among themselves only.

True Sir. It is the devotion that matters. An individual who participates in festivities and Pujas need not know all about mythologies and their origins. I also agree that religious scholars' discussions should remain among themselves without making comments which hurt the people. If they comment hurting the beliefs and the sentiments, controversies are bound to arise.

Yes sir. Mr. Gulati has thanked me after your telling to participate in the discussions.
He has given a vivid account of unification of India and Pakistan. And each aspect has been supported by examples like Cultural exchanges that took place in the past.
His intelligence is clearly visible in his simple but effective lingo.
And coming back to the subject, I would like to state that Unification of India is not possible in the present political scenario in India. And you know the policies and aims of the ruling party are revolving around Hindu Rashtra.

Yes running away to an open area is best one precaution, I also think for it but I did not.
I can understand Anil. We panic and become motionless during a crisis.Our mind becomes numb. Very few will stay alert and do what's required to do.

rambabu replied to the topic 94th birthday of cartoonist R.K. Laxman.
The Legendary R. K. Laxman was a self made satirist. His forte is Political satire. His favorite bird is Crow. He has drawn innumerable number of Crows.
One of his cartoons that I like immensely is, A serpentine Queue standing before the Ration Shop. A man in the queue posts a letter to his wife through the Post Box, just by the side of the road. An inquisitive person asks him, to whom he has written the letter.. The man replies, " To my wife. Four days ago I left my home for the Rations. I informed her that I was safe and standing in the Ration queue."
As usual, the Common man looks silently.

Secularism is a word can be seen Indian Constitution. Poor Babasaheb Ambedkar must be moving with restlessness seeing the rampant violations of Secularism.
Our leaders are anything but Secular. In every sphere of life violations of Secularism are conspicuously visible.

The J & K MLA would not normally take any food by announcing. His beef party was a reaction. Nobody generally makes a public announcement of what he is going to eat. But the miscreants will spy and find out what you eat and then harass, beat or kill you. even if you don't eat meat, they will spread rumour and kill as they did in Dadri.
Even if beef eaters opt for low profile, the BJP. RSS will not let the theme die. Now there is another suggestion from saffron chief. It is okay to drink coe blood but not to slaughter. Hegot hint from Kenya. Now let him assure all that mere drawl of blood and drinking will not invite wrath of the saffron brigade.

It was not reaction it was over reaction only to thrilled not beef eaters. Every one have right what to eat but what is need to show it.
I agree with you Anil. Whosoever is at the helm of affairs, hasn't got any right to come to my dining table and check what I'm eating.
What a pity, there are agitations, arguments, counter arguments on the food people eat in this country, where it is difficult to get a morsel of food.

Saffron brigade represents majority of this country and had it not been for this outfit the majority community would have suffered even worse than they are doing today. And this is all because of few vote hungry so-called seculars. They will go down to any length to prove the majority sentiments wrong.

RAMAKRISHNAN. A replied to the topic How doomsday could come .
Scriptures of different religions have their own predictions regarding doom’s day, known as ‘pralaya’, ‘deluge’, etc., based on the long-sighted vision of their scholars. Similarly scientists have also made their predictions based on their researches and studies… It is nothing new or not to scare anybody, but to make everyone aware that for every rise there is a fall.

Very true Anil. Are these politicians show the same interest towards Aam Aadmi's welfare and raise their standard of living ? For name sake the party's name is Aam Aadmi party. Naam Bada Darshan Thoda. Double standards. It's the condition everywhere in this country.
