A Dalit President could not save Dalits in our country. A Sardar could not save Sardars. A Muslim President could not save Muslims. A Modi will not save Hindus also. 1 lakh farmers suicided in Vajpayee's regime. A secular solution must come at centre.
modi is the common man's leader, and the right leader, who will tell it like it is, and move to fix the problems. he knows what works and what does not. now, modi needs to do two things: learn souther language (tamil) and one eastern (bengali) because the people in those regions need to hear him and understand him without the media drilling commie nonsense into their heads.modi has the right approach for balanced across the board growth.
Where were you when Gujarat was set to fire by Modi? Were not you the Home Minister and a Deputy Prime Minister? What recommendation you gave to your Prime Minister, Vajpayee? Even the PM was willing to consider removing Modi, did not you stop?
There is blood on your hands, Advani! It is so thick that it is yet to dry up and it takes decades and till you live that blood on your hands would not dry up.
It is a shame that you are a national leader of India.
Looking from a different perspective, Advani, are you not too big to indulge in this? Actually, a person of your stature do not need this for success.

It is mafias in the garb of governance.
Sonia wants all of India to be ruled by Christians and minorities despite it being a Hindu majority country. Thats why she has chosen a sardar as a head of the government. Vote her out of power.

I do not see anything wrong with a person of other religion ruling India, except that he does not share the ideology of 80% of the country's population which is Hindu. I respect all religions but their share of power should be directly proportional to the size of their population.
Can you ask same question to GW Bush or queen elizabeth? Whats wrong with a Muslim ruling europe?

you yourself have validated my point that india is heading towards fundamentalism where people want to be lead based on his religious identity which should be of majority people instead of his ability.

See if you read history of UK and USA and rest of the europe, all of them are secular state where religion and state are separate. But their constitution is based on Christian ideology. All of their leaders have been Christians. Even USA is a deeply religious society. Do you call them fundamentalist?
Similarly, during partition of India, a secular state was created of India and for muslim majority their own state was created, pakistan. If you chose secular India, then its constitution recognises all religions. So whats wrong with Hindus being in power most of the time for the population which is majority Hindu. I dont want some sucker like VP singh to destroy future of my children in the name of opportunity for minorities.

Yes 1 representative out of 500. Also many people in USA criticised his using Quran to take oath of office. I dont say that those people are great or right but you know we have much more muslim representatives in India both in Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and whatver sabha you can think of. So again my point is power = size of population should be equation

All the leaders in US are christians or Jews as the population of minorities is less than 1% and that too it has happened due to immigrants in the last few decades.

to your point, then there will be atleast 1 able guy in that 1%. Will USA give an Indian american an opportunity to rule the country?

Yes but you know as a person from Hindu majority, people like VP singh and Arjun Singh have propogated reservations which jeopardizes the future of our children. Why should they pay the price if some other community is illiterate? If it were not for their policies, I would vote congress. But since only BJP has said outright that they will protect Hindu majority, I have to vote their way to protect our future. Sorry that they have been violent to minorities, but I can not vote for outsider christian waiteresses and sardars like manmohan when they turned blind eye to these atrocities.

What I have said is that those is power have Hindu religion, most of the country has Hindu religion. So where is the question of fanaticism. I never said anything derogatory of any other religion. All religions are same to me. Are you ready to accept uniform civil code which will prevent you from having 3 wives?
RE:BJP winning?
by SyedSyed on Dec 31, 2007 09:30 AM Permalink
Yes we can have uniform civil code in which we should have laws useful for the country and not target a particular country. will you stop all the people from throwing ganesha in water and pollute it as one of the laws of uniform civil code?

The specific minority that is the vote bank of the safed topi, and the latter's vote bank, must know that Bharatvarsh is not Mecca, Madina, Baghadad or Basra.
Living in Bharatvarsh with a loyalty towards the naapaaakis and the likes and showing hidden or open sympathy for the islamic aatankwadis tantamounts to digging their own graves.
Besides it is a grand larceny and acting like traitors and foreign agents in general and that of ISI in particular.
If they intend continuing to live in Bharatvarsh they must learn first to respect and bow to Bharatmata.
