To Rajendra uncleji's point, the current self-proclaimed religious Hindu bodies, I think, have been unsucessful as they are still trying to enforce the old brand of Hinduism with all the vices that come with regressive caste-based orthodoxy. And I also believe the solution to this problem lies...

Good stuff -- can see Delhi in detail but most of parts of Haryana little less clear but overall really good!!

Great stuff!! Really good stuff!!

Just read this book's review - it's totally bogus. Nonica Dutta belongs to the league of propagandists that take pride in testing the limits of the right to freedom of speech.

Coudn't agree with that more....it's a very interesting topic to debate within our own conscience and judgement....

Priti, Regarding Indian Communists => let me start by agreeing with what a couple other members had previously mentioned: on average Indian communists are more honest than their mainstream counterparts. I used to have a few friends in Delhi who came from CPI(M), and I can attest to the fact...

I agree with your point here Amit. What is also worth noting is that a point has been made in past by a few war-mongers that the wars (not terrorism) and post-war periods sometimes lead to economic expansions; some of these waronomists go as far as to cite examples like US Civil war, UK & US...

Dear all, I was researching online when I came across this website http://rinovations.org/Innovations.htm It is called Rural Innovations Network (for Rural India), seems like a very decent website and they have listed quite interesting rural innovations. But most of the...

You're right Dr Birbal Singh ji; and it is these moments which make you realize that we might have come very far indeed, but still the color of human skin remains such a potent issue before us....I saw a clip in one of the other threads on Jatland in which Gandhi ji is noted as saying that he...

Dear Ram Arya ji, These words that you quoted from Dr. Verma are inspiring really....personally speaking, I'll try and always remember these words. I wholeheartedly agree with you, we have to keep on trying with total optimism... Thanks, Deepender

A very good article indeed. Nice find, Hooda Sa'ab! :-)

Dear Col Malik ji, I can see some of your apprehensions regarding continued expansion of NCR; however my view on this issue is: NCR is emerging as a huge engine for economic growth for all the surrounding areas and I think we need to figure out how to best leverage this growth to the advantage...

Respected Rajendra Uncle ji, I like the idea of VDO, only apprehension I have is would this also become victim of over politicization in same vain as gram panchayats like you indicated......Can we include panchayat in this somehow? I really am not sure what is the right answer here? but I am...

Jasbir (sidenote: Jasbir and I are from the same village in Rohtak!!) has touched on very real topics that we need to face if we are brave enough to dream of a glorious future for our next generations. One of the neighbours in my village recently had an opportunity to work with a private...

Rajendra Uncle ji and Sehrawat ji - This example seems close to the true 'Rural Solutions' that both of you had discussed in one of the other threads. Worth noting. I also agree with most of what both you have noted in your respective messages. In essence the solution lies in the villages is...

Respected Lamba ji, This seems like a brilliant grass-root level entrepreneurship work. I would surely like to and try to get in touch with Mr. DP Singh - will let you know how that goes... Please, please share more examples such as these like you indicated. Mr. DP Singh is a true hero, and we...

Harsh realities in world full of 'lesser equals'

From time to time, I keep doing some research and thinking on the issue of unemployment in Jat youths as our new generation gradually moves away from agriculture as our primary occupation.... I thought it might be worthwhile to start a thread on this subject to hear from our think-tank: How do...

Rajendra Uncle ji, Add to that the reaction on Ayodhya incident: there were comments on the Ayodhya thread that indicate that a few people seemed to have been offended by the recent Ayodhya incident more than they were offended by, say, the attack on our Parliament. Intriguing indeed. Deepender

Mukesh Bhai, You have raised a good question. While I am a Congress man at heart and soul, overall I endorse views put forward by Sehrawat ji. I think we should vote while giving serious considerations to the Candidate/CM/PM in front of us rather than blindfolded by our faith in a particular...
