Theory and practice are two different things. Islam just like Sikhism doesn't allow for caste based distinctions in theory. But still we find a Sheikh, a Syed, etc under Islam and a Bhappa, a Chamar and a Tarkhan etc under Sikhism. Similarly, it shouldn't be improbable to imagine a Muslim Jatt...

Well, without going into the good and the bad of it, the foreign invasions brought in a lot of changes to the sub-continent, the effects of which we still see to this day. From our language, to our dress, our food, music etc is directly correlated to these invasions.

On topic - I think the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is commendable effort for a long standing and embarrassing problem for the country. But I think it lacks focus and we may be prioritizing the wrong attributes. Yes, self awareness among the public and taking responsibility of the cleanliness of our...

Thanks. Well, no grief. I was surprised at the margin of victory though. In any case, I obviously want my country to do well, under any leadership. So if Modi does well, I'd be more than happy for my country's sake. I will still not like him or trust the devil inside him, but its not like he's...

Thanks. :)

You guessed right. Sadma bahut jyada tha.. lol;) Though I did comment when the election results were announced. Actually, the past 8-9 months have been really busy on the personal and professional front. My daughter was born in March, plus the workplace also got very hectic. So I just switched...

Kankara ji - I see them making more Damdar announcements rather than decisions. There has been a lot of talk on planned decsions around labour reforms, infrastructure, black money etc but I am yet to see a concrete decision which has a long term impact on the ground. Yes, the sounds the govt is...

I know the fares needed to be raised as the railways was toiling in the red, but lets rewind a little. I am sure there will many such 'rewinds' in the future.

Rajpal ji, I am sure your intention was to ask whats stopping our country from achieving its full potential but the question and thread title is total irrelevant. It shows our inherent infatuation with power. Why become a superpower? Why become US, Russia, China etc? Why not become like the...

That's your perception. Show me a post where I sang praises of Congress. I have always maintained there's no difference in between Congress and BJP. Still say the same. Yes, I take nothing from the fact that is a great victory of BJP and NDA. Kudos to them. But lets also remember politics and...

You still think i do? Read my post again.

5 years isn't a long time. Things change as do govts.

Rubbish rhetorics from you as usual. Were the people pseudo-secular as per you when they voted for Congress in the last two elections? What could any of us do then. Anyways, this kind of talk isn't unexpected from you.

Looks like a clean sweep by BJP and allies. UP as usual made the difference. But the results in Andhra, Karnataka gave everyone a surprise. Congratulations to NDA. Hope they utilize this mandate for the betterment of the country and do a better job than their predecessors.

The constitution of India doesn't agree with you. Sikhism is a separate religion (I recorded it in my census) irrespective of what any Hindutva propaganda.

Isn't Sikh turban religious? There goes your point.

Yes, relations and the mutual bonhomie and understanding is well known.

These are the kind of people with Modi. Sums it all. And where else could all these statements be given, if not Gujarat. Togadia tells his supporters how to grab Muslim houses and drive away Muslims from Hindu areas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zatIRhuiuuY

I wasn't aware. Thanks. Are you comparing Harsh Vardhan and MMS?
