its not surprising to see rediff post such messages all english media are run by page 3 people who want to turn india into a red light zone hence u see times of india carry a column called Yummy Mummy . when everyone falls to the level of these people then they can carry on their shameless behaviour without bothering who is thinking what about them

Hi, Same way, all you paks change your surname to Jinna & divide your country into million pieces & million prime minister/president/million pimps & rule w/ your fundamentalism. Go ahead.
The canker of corruption has affected both the judiciary and the Armed Services and the sad thing is that nothing is being done about it. Army officers are increasingly on the take as much as judges in the judiciary and one hears the names of Supreme Court judges 'on sale' being bandied about. If this spreads, then the Republic of India is in deep trouble. Tragically, the current Government at the Centre has an Italian woman has the head of the main party leading the Coalition and even she as well as her secretary, V George are both reported to be on the take. It is not enough to say that one is not corrupt but it is more important to be seen as not corrupt. S Rajendran

dont blame one or two politician,it is the whole system seams to be corrupt.corruption has rooted in the vein of all the public figures.what do u think the politician who gets benifited from this corruption will take iniative to stop it,no way they gone stop it.we have to take initative to stop corruption by doing something in action not coming on the media.every body in our country blaming others,as i think every body is has contributed in spreading immorality in india.
The army protects each country from invasions from Neighbours !! But if there is no army in a country then there are chances of attck from the neighbour !! But in Europe the defence expenditure is very less because the countires have made one economic group and one currency !! Similarly SAARC or association fo south asian countries can make rupee their common currency and make brother hood and allow free trade from one country to another .. What is the army doing in Siachen Glacier in Coldest of all times becuse it is s atrtegic point.. I heard the expenditure is 2 to 3 crore per day.. Waht is the fun in sending an army to antartica or artica But if there is surveillance then army staff can be cut and defence budget shrinked and they can be transferred to civilain works.. for examp[le what is army doing in Bnagalore where threat is less.. how many armed forces are there all over India .. The real work is done by surviellanmce wing and Border security force that is army at Borders.. Ithink such a huge armed force is due to the night mares of a world war repeating Regards Mahesh Nayathil http://www.maheshnbiomedical.com

it is beacuse of people like you that india lost so much land in kashmir in 1962. india's expenditure on armed forces is less than 3 percent of gdp.its still less than what is required.

Hi, Very Good, if that works, we can divert those money into national & world development & to raise the poor from poverty etc. Sounds good to hear. But we have tried in the past around 1962 & we learned, so, we decided to develop our Army strong w/ nuke capability. Man is like a monkey, believing a man don't resign your work & stay in home. Now this time we join last after all countries reduce theirs!!!
I bow to the General on what he said about career. Nowadays even armed forces has become a mere job market. Earlier it used to be a place where you can do good to the country.
But what I feel that the ration between moral and immoral activities does remain constant across time! Only the quantity increases as the total population also increases. This gives a picture that there are more and more immoral activities are happening only in present, which is not the fact.
What is sad is that, in spite of growing facilities in media and communication etc, common man cannot raise heis voice against these immoral acts. Either he changes himself to be one among them or safely chooses to be a neutral onlooker.
The think-tanks around should come out with a mechanism to bring the common man be more vibrant and voiceful when some thing goes wrong.
SopRaj, Bofars, Share Scam, etc are keep coming but none of them who seems to be reason for all these are put into bar. No legal action could be taken against them. They disappear just like their illegal acts do!
When common man's voice cannot be made audible, nothing can be done!

Not true.
20 years ago, it was impossible to imagine that someone of minister level would be taken to court and tried for his corruption. Just look into history and tell how many ministers were tried?
Today private media has been allowed. Only because of this now these corruption cases are coming to public eyes. Otherwise people used to think there was no corruption 20 years ago because there was no media to expose!!
And since today there is media to expose so, people are thinking that corruption has increased !!!!
If you use your head, then you will realise that with media's role increasing after 1991, only thing that has gone up is "publication" and "vigilance" of corruption crimes! And people analyse it wrong way. Actual corruption has gone down.
20 years ago, my dad needed to pay bribe to BSNL for phone connection. Today, i pay nothing. M L Thapan call this "loss of morals" or progress????
Sorry sir, I don't agree to such negative views of an individual and I protest against it because he is pulling all indians including me too into it!

example - shibu soren(A CABINET MINISTER) was convicted my court and sentenced to life.
this is just beginning. If media and people kept their pressure up, more things will change.
So M L Thapan is saying we are loosing morals or gaining it???
Sardar Patel would have been first PM of India. Nehru was not a right fit for indian politics.All freedom fighters lost their wealth in freedom fighting except this Nehru family. Only God can save India from Nehru family.There in no wonder if we see Rahul or Priyanka as PM of India soon. we need a PM like Sri Lal bahadur Shastri to deal the Bangaldesh and Pakistan.

true.
I don;t appose rahul gandhi. But he should wait 20 years and work hard and learn the things before getting into dirty business of world geo-politics(part of job of Prime minister).
Otherwise he will make same mistakes like his young daddy rajiv.

correction - its better to have rahul gandhi IN than some uneducated dull person.
Though i would really like some indian in place of him who has spent his foundation years and education in india. It really makes one's view and psyche and sensitivities towards India.
A very Precise & Objective & Fair view of Army Role in by Lt Col Thapan. Very Forthright & open analysis. Yes ,Indain Society needs morlity blended into very basic daily life in a very big way,else we will continue to witness : 1) Fear & Feudal system of Governance in Judiciary,Education,Religion & Medicine . 2) Road Rage by Animals 3) Naked display of skin all over & reducing lack of respect for women other than as objects of desire. 4) Non/least possible development of poor sections of society.
The only way out is to have more & more accountability with open,objective systems of governance & Retributions & penalities for violations & deviations. For Those who make fun of morality as an old age thing please stop usuing Sunlight,Water & Air as those are also as old as existence.
There is difference between Beasts & Human beings. Let us protect that always.

Hi, I feel the clothing issue should be regional instead of religion. It is wrong to show skin in Snow or during the time of winter. As it is dangerous to the skin & could die due to hydertherma!!! But Indian climate is moderate, there is no harm in wearing light dresses to escape from the over buring heat in some cities. Think democratic!!!
