usha manohar liked the topic A beautiful article on why we need Swadeshi!.
I just read this beautiful and thoughtful article by Sejuti Banerjee on why we need the concept of Swadeshi and the need to assert our roots of Hinduism. Also it is my sincere request to all those pesudo-intellectuals and fake sickulars to keep away from this thread with their snide remarks and ridiculous comments. This is meant for only those who believe in our roots and not those who make fun of it.

Kalyani Nandurkar said thank you to usha manohar for his/her reply to the topic Interesting and practical tips for writers...
My favorites among the tips given by him.
Write with your speaking voice
You have communicated this way all your life. Write the way you talk to avoid sounding stiff and robotic.
Add value with every sentence
Self-explanatory; cut the clutter. Move the story forward with every line.Ways to increase value are facts, anecdotes, humor, dialogue, etc.
Consistency
When I do not feel like writing, it is a sign I need to. The fastest way I know how to enter a groove is to write in the same place, at the same time, every day.
The key to achieving a great flow is consistency.
Read every day
I listen to podcasts a few times per week. A commonly asked question is, “What are you reading?”
Not once have I heard a guest draw a blank. These people always have an answer because they are always reading. However, this cannot be said for the overall population.

If you understand that there was no need to make this comment. AS it is, I have previously made it very clear that I no longer find your brand of 'nationalism' palatable and it has become completely annoying. If you have noticed, I have stopped responding to your threads and posts and the least you can do is do the same. I did not want exactly this kind of comments from you. I expect that henceforth you will keep away from this thread.

I agree with you. As you said, there are a few members who never bother to red the link article provided by the Thread poster. In this regard nothing can be done as the Administrator himself said through his Featured post, a member can press Like Button and read articles. However, I'm against this. If a Member actively participates in the discussion Forums and occasional clicks on likes are OK. But there are members, who are building whole of their Points only by Clicking on Likes and reading articles. For this, Administration has to do something.
yeah only admin can do something in this regard
It is not something that only the admin can do. To stop such practices, each and every member must resolve to help with it and not click like for anything and everything. Putting entire responsibility on admin does not absolve others of their own responsibility.
but what the members can do if the person who is misusing any features of this site for his own profit and after intimating also they don't stop
Very simple, they are given warnings a few times after which they get banned from the site.
And who will banned them
Better do what Kalyani says. There is no need to bother about other things
Site allow to earn with clicking like so it not possible to took any action against to member who using enough this option to earn. Adm can set limit for every day likes. For article point awarded only to member who write comments on article.

I completely agree with you. You have exactly processed my thoughts. Juvenile who commits a hedious crime like rape is no more immature person. Such people are well aware of the surroundings hence they should be punished strictly. There should be no mercy on such criminals.
More importantly such offender's become habitual offenders once they realise that the punishment is easy and they can get away with their crime. Age is not s factory all where crime is concerned because, the very fact that someone so young has such a deviant mentality shows there is something drastically wrong . I feel that besides punishment , they also need to be given psychiatric counselling ..
Very true....the juvenile delinquents must be dealed with according to the nature of the case and there cannot be a single hard and fast rule according to the age criteria. The facts such as how cold blooded and heinous the crime has been carried out without a shred of later remorse, and the nature of injuries inflicted on the victim must be considered. It is indeed very ridiculous and stupid to say that juveniles canot understand right and wrong as some member has been maintaining all the way along.

Sorry but i little bit disagree with you, i think the juvenile criminal are immature and they are manipulated by someone and even they got manipulated by the system and society which hates them. which makes them to do something bad for the society. yeah doing something bad for the society is a crime but they don't know what they are doing and causes they have to face in their near future
Let me ask you first, are you aware of what exactly and how things happened in both cases which I pointed out. Where did system or the society go wrong when the poor girl boarded the bus in which the perverts decided to rape her and mutilate her body. Who manipulated these people into doing that to the girl? Even a small child as young as 4 understands that playing with a knife will hurt him or others around him. This crazy as*** was nearing 18 and you say the likes of him cannot understand what is right and wrong? I suggest you get your own facts straight before making such comments. Just because he was not legally adult does not mean he knew what are the consequences of raping and mutilating a young girl. you have a really funny way of analyzing facts!
Yes @Kalyani exactly this is how I feel about these juvenile criminals. Juveniles who are petty thieves definitely deserve to be treated as juveniles but those who raped, murdered and mutilated lives of others should not be spared. Those who say that they should be treated as juveniles are actually mocking at the pain received by the victims and their families. Ideological statements sound good but should not be put into action.
well i was not discussing about the heinous crimes which are not excusable i was saying about the crimes which are theft etc. but whereas about rape it is not a crime, i am sorry i am unable to think bigger word than crime because it is much bigger than that and for doing that the only way to justify it, by giving that person death sentence by the court. i think it will also be less.
I am sorry to point out that it is very unfortunate when you comment just for the sake of commenting. This thread deals with a very sensitive issue and you went on commenting without understanding the actual point. What is the use of such a discussion?

Why don't we learn the positive aspects of other places when we travel rather than force ourselves on them?
True Usha, I have heard often from my British friends how loud and littery Indian tourists are and they are barely tolerated out of politeness and common civility. The purpose of tourism should be basically to learn more about the culture and ways of the places we visit, enjoy and savour local delicacies and try to understand what kind of life is lead by people in those places. And Indians fail terribly in those aspects.
