1942, an earth quack called "QUIT INDIA" was simmering.
About to burst.
And to engulf the whole British Empire.
It was about to change our motherland called "Bharat" / "Hindustan" / "India"'s destiny forever.
Old, young, children, women even conservative widows were jumping to this fire called Freedom Struggle like moths and burning themselves.
Fogetting about their social status, their career, their future and their two square meals a day.
They had no personal ambitions. No glory for oneself.
It was all for their motherland.
And we had one Patriot Gentleman called Shekhawat.
Millions of sacrifices did not move him. Mangal Pandey's life could not impress him.
For feeding his family ( he says ) he did not become a clerk, peon, shop assistant. Or even a chowkidar. He joined British Police. With his heavy boot and British Lathi, along with his British Masters, he tried to crush India Freedom Struggle. Hunting down freedom fighters like dogs. Breaking backbones of the Satyagrahis.
With his great body, iron nailed boots and British Lathi he pounded on the chest of our motherland Bharat Mata.
Where was your your conscience, Mr Shekhawat?
How do you see your face in the mirror?
Don't you see blood eyed Bharat Mata crying in the mirror?
I think the nessage has hit Pratibha starkly that it is more or less confirmed in the Indian Junta that she will be no more than a rubber stamp of Sonia. Why else should she react at all if she had any maturity and stature ? She knows that in Rajasthan she returned the bill on anti-conversion because of pressure from Christian Sonia and not because she wanted to showoff as a neutral Governor [finding one congress governor who has not misused his position is like finding life on Pluto]. Sonia wants to be PM and Kalam had checkmated that effort. No intellectual and a person who has been involved in a nation building activity will accept the pulls and pressures of a power mongering and anti-national parties like the Congress and the Left.
President Elections should happen as it happens in the US or other democracies. First Citizen of the nation cannot be a consensus candidate.
They should have clear Manifesto that should be backed by their credentials.
Today President of India, has too little powers / Role to play. -> He has to hoist flags 5 times during tenure -> Play host to visiting head of states -> Travel to other nations -> Stamping his signature to the bills passed in the parliament.
For this job, Pratibha Patil is as qualified as any of her predecessors.

In india ,it is always the one who does the hard work ,gets nothing . But ,the fellows ,who did nothing are enjoying the power. No wonder ,with this mentality ,Indians were ruled by foreigners for 1200 years. Because ,they have no value for those who laid down their life for India's freedom like Netaji. Most of present day Indians are without any value.Their only value is money & power ,even that means selling your own country

Dear Trikarn, It is a gentlemany behavoiur part on Mr Shekavat to respect the BAHU OF HIS CLAN, WHO ADDRESSES HIM AS respectful BABOSA. Both know each other, Mr Devi singh Shekavat- husband of Mrs Patil and Mr Bhiron Singh hailing form same village. Mr B.S Shekavat is a elderly Statenman will not contest against her. Instead let him take the place of Leader of opposition from Mr Advani. Mr Shekavat is the one who pionerred the ANTYODAYA YOJANA to enpower rural women way back in 1977, praised by Mrs Indira GANDHI.

Mr BS Shekahwat is a very good leader and should be elected as Next Prez. instead of Pratbha Patil. ( with nothing against her only negative thing is that she is selected by a foreigner & a valueless ,bootlicking left).
