  1. True. One of my colleagues is a refugee from Bangladesh. They left everything and have come to India. And get this, they have left even West Bengal. He says West Bengal is a scary state. It reminds him of all the gory stories of Bangladesh his gradmom used to tell him.

  2. These generous people somehow ALWAYS want to distribute other's wealth not their' own.

  3. You are living in a wrong country. If you've gone to to your green paradise that you created in 1947 you didn't have to worry about EVM today in 2024. Cheers and best wishes!

  4.  @kakun63 Ethics be dammed. Its the power that matters. With power you get to sit in Delhi. With ethics you go to Rishikesh.

  6. Yes sir, we live in our own world. And let us live in our own world. We want no Cricket, no VISAS, no trade, no cultural exchanges in short nothing from you. Please ignore we exist. Its more than seven decades you went you own way for good. Let that prevail. Thanks for your understanding. Cheers and best wishes!

  7. Corruption is a very complex subject. One of the reasons is competing objectives. And you'd be surprised that in 'today''s India people will be very dissatisfied without corruption. Its a kind of grease that gives a semblance of efficiency . I'll give an analogy. People say honesty and communication is the key to a good relationship. But trust me people in long lasting relationships will tell you that reasonable lies and lot of silence are the key to good relationship. Cheers and best wishes!

  8. Sometime in future, Yogi JI ill address US Congress. And he will be dressed in Saffron and speak in Sanskrit. I'd rub one out for that image.

  9.  @Avinashm7  And you think KHANgress isn't communal? BJP is the right kind of communal that gets its votes and KHANgress is the wrong kind of communal that gives them failure. Communal is good if it gives you success. AIMIM is the right kind of communal in its constituencies. You are salty because your kind of communal politics lost. Go lick your wounds.

  10.  @mohibquadri4053 Whats up with your obsession with Manusmriti? Who follows it? Unlike Sharia which is your law? RSS is for unity of nation. And this nation was divided on the lines of R E L I G I O N. In order to address it one need to "address" it and talk about it. You have voted for Two Nation Theory in 1946 elections but didn't leave the country. So what is your position on TNT today? And when, how and why your position changed (if it did) is an answer we all want. And a "genuine" answer and not a token "string of words". And when we seek such answer you call it D I V I D E and R U L E, while all the time it is YOU who were D V I S I V E.

  11.  @AmitKumarAlphaX  Ambedkar is long gone. He is no more. He did whatever he could during his life time. India is not frozen in time of Ambedkar. It changed. We have elections every 5 years in this country because we want to change. Guess what elected leaders are empowered to change the country. No one captured power - they were elected. Yes we want to change the nature of India. So? Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Cheers and best wishes!

  13.  @mg.f.9023  Agreed. Science is the way to go. But what does science have to do with Brij Bhushan abd Prajval? Why are you mixing up two issues and presenting as one? Argue on topic if you can. I showed you the models M follows and you ought to have talked on it. Why shifting goal posts? Chew-tiya kahin ka. Chal fut!

  14. Nope. They should construct a Hospital and a Medical School. That's what "they" have been telling us all these days. Its time to take "their" own advice and show us how it is done 😜

  15. Absolutely not. They can fund it themselves if they want to.

  16. Complete population exchange should have taken place back in '47. You are in a wrong country living "illegally" here. And you want land and a mosque?

  18. I am a political worker in Southern India but I do have an ear on things that go on in our MEA(Ministry of External Affairs of Foreign Office). Though I am a very small guy but I do get to listen to older diplomats, ambassadors and also IAS officers that are cabinet advisers. So here is what with India-Pakistan relations. Things won't move. And the reason actually is pretty mundane. Reason number 1 is that none of the diplomats are interested in working with Pakistan; they'd rather quit MEA and transfer to some other department than work on Indo-Pak relations. The reason being they think they would be wasting their career's valuable time in fruitless efforts that yield nothing after years of efforts. Most of our diplomats are eager to work with African countries - recently we had major breakthrough agreements with Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda and also Egypt. Now, that's a fruitful work. That's a feather in cap for our diplomats. OTOH, with Pakistan they are reasonably sure that their entire efforts will go waste working with Pakistan. So I don't think there will be any dialogue post elections. Indo-Pak relations are in cold storage, at least for foreseeable future.

  19.  @Leonlkkkk  H/M Division has at least 800 year history behind it. And the division is irreconcilable. Congress has been using it for 65 years in one direction for electoral benefit and you didn't have any problem. Now if BJP does in reverse you have stomach ache? Sorry, kindly find a way to deal with it instead of vomiting on internet. Thanks. Cheers and best wishes!

  24.  @sleepingduty2987  Let's cut this down okay? Let me ask this question. Suppose people like me are in a majority, and a majority of us want Yogi as PM, should we as a majority have right to have him as PM? Or should we care about "image" that is imposed by "global image" by external audience? And BTW, there is no evidence that this global image will be "ruined" as hypothesized by you. Earlier, people have made similar hypothesis about Modi because of his supposed involvement in riots and US denying him VISA? And look here today gave us the best foreign policy and rebranded the nation's image. Unless you think this is "damaging" India's image. Unless you think Rahul Gandhi's adventure abroad in UK is enhancing India's image. So here is the question again. Yogi is now as a CM by the virtue of democracy. Tomorrow if Yogi is PM by virtue of democracy, should I care about "imperial" opinion of external "global image"?

  25.  @sleepingduty2987  I think you need a lesson. "We" is all those people that exclude you. You are you, alone and we are "we" together. Alright? And we have our right to great self importance. You have your right to demean yourselves, if you wish to.

  26.  @theplutonimus  Sushma Swaraj, Modi and others spoke in Hindi. So why can't Yogi speak in Sanskrit. Sanskrit is a wonderful language. Give it a try. Israelis resurrected their language Hebrew. We should do it too. You may not want it, but there are may like me.

  27.  @sleepingduty2987  As a South Indian, I am looking forward to visiting UP and living there. Mirchi lagi kya?

  28. India should with love fund building lots of Mosques and wonderful madrasas and then give ~$20 billion grant for salaries and upkeep of all the infrastructure of Mosques. We should do it say for 10-12 years i.e. one complete generation. This effort will create multitudes of beautiful moulvis, alims, hafeez vagaira and vagaira. This is how we can turn their human resources to be a burden on their own state. A moulvi is good for manual labor and giving out speeches - none of them are something they can export i.e. very unproductive resource. If you wonderfully transform their society for one generation, it will take at least 30-40 years for them to realize what trick was played on them. Using their "deen" as a hatyar against them.

  29.  @mrgyani  So, we should be okay with "sar tan se juda gang" right? Ah, understood.

  30.  @ravi-it3vj  Can you answer one question? Can you give me ONE achievement of RG in his 20 years of political career from 2004-2024? He hasn't held any post that requires administrative skills. He wasn't CM of any state. He wasn't in cabinet and held a portfolio during UPA I and II. He didn't introduce even ONE bill. He didn't bring even a $1 as an investment into the country. He didn't champion any policy. .OTOH, Modi was CM for 3 terms, and a PM for 2 terms in 20 years. How are you comparing both vis a vis accomplishments? What are your grounds to support RG or Congress - an incompetent person in a dying party. Thanks. Cheers and best wishes!

  31.  @nitushokeen4970  Manipur is a very complex issue and it has a history going back to the time of independence when Congress was in Power. Nehru could have done a lot to settle it during the formation years. But unfortunately settling border issues were never the forte of Nehru or Congress. It kept simmering until it boiled over. And also there is opium cultivation/Chinese interference angle too. Its a mess. You are speaking as if Modi personally instigated violence in Manipur.

  32. Do you know law? Do you know PMLA act and its conditions for bail? There is one saying "Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt". Cheers!

  36. Why aren't Jayram Ramesh, lawyers like Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Manusinghvi filing a PIL in Supreme courts against EVM? Why aren't Congress teaming up with other parties like AAP, SP, BSP, Shiv Sena, DMK, JDU to fight against EVMs? What was Congress doing from 2019 if it has doubts about EVM? Can you please answer? Thanks. Cheers and Best wishes!

  38. Someone who has the audacity to compare Pakistan with India can make Pakistan to be his second home. Did you try settling down in your second home? Imran Khan is definitely a *LOT* better than Modi and Pakistanis are also *LOT* better than Indians? Cheers and best wishes!

  39.  @arfaatsyed6853 Yes mf is openly asking to take power away. Kejriwal is a nuisance. The entire J&K is experiencing good development with multi billion development projects. Delhi could also be governed the same way.

  40. Pakistan is in perfect state as far as India is concerned. It suits us very much. That's because it is always in unstable equilibrium, always on the edge ready to fall off but never does. What more can we ask for. Cheers!

  41.  @firosiam7786  Are you in India?Why? You should have gone to Pakistan. There is no BJP or RSS in Pakistan and you would be safe and happy. I can sponsor one way ticket to Pakistan should you want. I will also give you $1000 to go with it

  42. Is Shia/Sunni/Deoband/Barelvi/Alhe Hadis/Ismaili etc etc mentioned in your text? Does it mean that they don't exist?
    5
  43. NOPE. Absolutely NOT. Pakistan is just good the way it is - economically and politically weak and unstable and dependent on IMF, Arab states over which we have some influence. We can keep them pinned down in this state. This suits us.

  44. Demography of WB is changed to such an extent that TMC's power is solid regardless of crime, economy, business situation in the state. Mamata's prospects are just fine even if she isn't held accountable. Come 2026, she will once again will win with a huge mandate. People from other states should carefully see and learn from WB. Once the 'green vote' reaches ~25%, your ability to influence your politics is out of your hands. Just like Bengalis of WB you will be forced to migrate to other states for decent living. Devil has taken over the state. And there is no turning back now. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Cheers and best wishes!

  46.  @bharatdave6288  Nope it will also be good for BJP. It will force change within BJP with a lot more credible Congress. BJP always surprises me with the internal dynamism and ability to reinvent. India is going long on BJP that's for sure. I hope Rahul goes to some CAR (Central African Republic) or some country like that and catch some mysterious undetectable disease and "Make India Happy Again(MIHA)". Cheers and best wishes!

  47.  @curious_Arjun India is NOT a secular country. India is a pluralistic country. The word secularism is inserted by Indira Gandhi during her emergency. India is a natural land for Hindus. It should be a Hindu rastra. India should have Israel like Citizenship law i.e. every Hindu in any corner of the world has right to seek citizenship of India .Cheers and best wishes!

  48.  @BharatThatIsIndia  Jinnah is the best thing to happen to Hindus. We at least have a country to call our own. Othewise with ~60 cr M population (or more), we would definitely have become Faxtan. Whatever India is today it because of H and not M, for the most part. Don't quote exceptions; and even those exceptions you quote mainstream M don't consider pure M. Thanks for your understanding. Cheers and best wishes!
