I think morality is there with more than 70% people of INDIA, most of the times. I possess and exhibit morality atleast 95% of times, if not all the times. Similarly, I think others too have it in greater %. Those who agree can put one liner endorsement and those who don't can do the opposite. When we count tomorrow, that will give us a sample result.
Simply Brilliant obseravtaions. Wish the current ruling class thought and acted in the manner prescribed by the General. I firmly subscribe to his thoughts on the folly of creating Bangladesh instead "they should have BEEN ALLOWED TO stew in their own juice".
Thank you 'Rediff' for posting such a wonderful and thought provoking interview. Thapan sir should keep writing as his ideas are clear and concise and reflects the reality of the present time. Certainly, this is one such article I have read through the end, so interesting and inspiring...honestly. I wish 'Rediff' would take further such actions in bringing to light the ideas and inspirations from great people who are not interested in writing but are willing to 'share' through such interviews.
Thank you rediff for publishing this interview Every word of this interview has a weight of its own..very heartfully and honestly said...we would like to have more of it...we salute you Sir Lt.Gen M.L.Thapan.
