The people of orissa are not backwards but simple. Their accent are different because these people are satisfied with what they have and they dont want more unless it is difficult to maintain with what thwy have. They are normally vegetarian having Lord of universe(Lord Jagannath)with them all the ways.In orissa swain is not a Community but a surname & you Cann't decide the class basing a surname. By the way what is the meaning of "sh", mind it Me is an oriya.

About 'sh' and 's', I think it also applies to most ppl from bihar, and some parts of haryana.

Why are u so worried about somebody's accent. For that matter why does a typical french guy or a chinese not able to speak normal english ? Even in India do u think a "typical" guy from any other state doesn't have an accent ?

Generally tongue is trained to speak one's mother-tongue. When one attempts to speak another language, the tongue does not cooperate to speak correctly. But when one goes to another country and keep on talking in another language one develops correct accent.

There are differences in culture from state to state, area to area but some similarities also there. Still we are united by the feeling that we are Indians. This is the beauty of our country.

There is not much cultural differences or food habits ( Orissa people also eat rice and fish) or language ( oriya is some kind of dialect just like Assamese of Bengali language). in fact, until 1858, Bengal, Bihar and Orissa jointly used to be called Bengal. Bengali language was originated from Mathili Prakit ( the ancient language of Mithila).

Have you been in Infrastructure sector? Don't comment if you are not an insider of policy making. I have been, and the whole credit of Infrastructure development like NHDP programs, Airport expansion and port connectivity should go to Atal Bihari, if not his alliance as he pushed these things.

Shrikantji, To appreciate our real heroes and leaders one has to be freed by ideological boundary.
Today's youth doesn't know truth about British Raj: When British came: (1) British comes to India as bagger and bagged for business rights. (2) When British came to India, per capita income of India was more British. (3) India and China had 60% share of the global export. (4) Indian hand craft, and art was world famous.
When They became the ruler: (1) They killed the Indian education system, art and handcraft. (2) They banned Indian martial art after 1857. (3) They brutally murdered and hanged them to the tree including children. (4) They cheated, looted and robbed India. Victoria still posses Indian diamonds, and jewelery. (5) They artificially created famine in Bangal and other places. (6) They introduced Dowry, and bio-terror. Endless list of their atrocities

Who is responsible for all these? Do you expect your invadors to behave otherwise? It is the rule of any war. Let us try to be organized and fight our future wars to get adnatage of this beautiful world once again.

Although British did some atrocities and looting their rule must be a blessing in disguise. Beacaue of british, people started having some awareness that education was not a monopoly of a particular community. Because of english education, people developed a sense of freedom and fought against british to get freedom. You might notice that most of leaders who led freedom struggle were educated by british. Social menace like sati, untouchability, child marriage were regarded as crime and sins atleast by educated people. Above all we got a country known as India which otherwise would be land of so many kingdoms.
I don't disagree that these decisions have contributed. But the article seems heavily one sided. Each of these decisions have their fallibility
1. Universal Franchise is great and an absolute must - but it has not contributed to the progressive empowerment of women. 33% reservation might, just might. Only complete education for all will bring some good measure of success in this case.
2. Bangladesh war - No doubt, one of the greatest victories of India. Though this war was forced on India by the circunstances created by Pak, Pak is not going to forget this wound easily. Kashmir problem is its direct fall-out. As pointed out, china-ISI sabotage in the N-E had temporarily been curtailed, but has been taken up with vigour by both those countries to teach India a lesson. 3. Liberalization has worked its magic only for a small percentage of population - I feel the gap between the haves and have nots is just increasing. Again, this was a decision that was inevitable, in fact China beat us there by 10 years and is reaping its benefit to the fullest. Problem with Indian liberalization is that India has not found a good way to ensure that all get the share of bounty. 4. India's nuclear Muscle. I think this was a great decision. Indira Gandhi should have gone ahead with her plan in 70's before the NPT. Then we would not have thorny problems such as current N-Deal 5. India needs to be very careful with US. They dump anyone for their countries benefit and rightly so.

wake up dude..... You talking utter non sense. India shall reach super power status sooner or later.... But that would under our free will channel, called Democracy, unlike imposed by China communal system or EUROPEAN facism.... WE SHALLL EMERGE as super powers. That arisal would be much more beyond what you see today. We will be much more advanced than any country.... Its only our difference and cultural lethargy holding back. That will be over come soon. Before I die, I will see a developed India.
How things are so cheap in India compared to the west? Does $ 2 per day per capita income (per head)means $10 for family and $300 for month and with PPP it becomes $1500 or 60000? With $1 it is 30000? Which person is poor

Could you please define Patriotism? If at all you are really disgusted abt Muslims loyalty towards India.
If India wants to get rid of the corruption and failure of the delivery mechanism then we must have the police reform, the electoral reform and the administrative reform. Economic reform can benefit the Indians to a certain extent but for India to become a true democratic country where liberty, equality, meritocracy and true freedom of expression exist we need to reform those bodies as quickly as possible. But in India that is not easy. When Manmohan became the PM he stated that he will come out with the Administrative reform. It is more than 3 years and yet that reform has not seen the light of the day. And look at how the police reform is going on. December 2006 was the deadline set by the Supreme court to bring about the Police reform but again we have the frustrations standing in our face.

Indira was the Bit*h....She got what she deserved. Remember Bhindranwala was created by Indira. It was only after BlueStar operation that,termoil started in Punjab. But still punjab is progressive and number 1 state in India.
