F the money can buy the lawmakers (MPs) --the law executers are small fry comparatively to be bought out at less amount, including IB and CBI and judges, with promises of powerful positions.
In the next year the current power bearers will rob the Indian treasury 10 folds over. So it is a wise investment.
ALL the BS in the present environment for nuclear deal is nothing more than political and money kickbacks and extremely shortsighted for India' welfare. The NEXT US government would have fought it more aggressively to look better than Bush's term. BE it Obama or McCain. $100 Billion is on the table.
A strategic alignment with USA is natural, it had to happen, regardless of Indira's fallout with Nixon/Kissinger. Congress had NO reason to be dictated terms by USA.
AS a PM I would have USA support India's seat as a permanent seat on UN security council, member of nuclear weapon state, and last but least equal member of G8 plus.
BUT alas you and me are stuck with corrupt politicians from Nehru downwards. They will sell their mother for money and power so to sell out Bharat Mata is NOT a surprise.
A revolution is not far away once the literacy level rises. Which it will. The NRIs are going to play a very important in this.
The NRIs MUST be allowed to vote. Dual citizen will allow this. NOT a PIO card to pay exhortation's fees just to visit India.
NRIs and their relatives and professional associates talk the same talk but unfortunately stay away from the "dirty" pol
He had no problems about telecasting the CAsh for Questions sting operation, when this involved Parliament too. That time, it involved BJP MPs. Now that it involves his favorites pseudo-secular parties caught red handed, he is giving feeble excuses of Parliamentary priviledges to backtrack from telecasting.
Mostly, the journalist who did this sting operation will be sacked. Rajdeep might have never dreamt that his channel will be used to have a sting operation against the pseudo-secular forces. He might got a good scolding from his Madam, Sonia. After all, his channel is known as IBN- (Italian Bahu Network)

This guy Rajdeep is a crook and a blackmailer like his parent channel CNBC which blackmails companies into giving ads for the channel in return for good / if not bad publicity. These guys manipulate the stock market with their own recommendations and indulge in stock buying and selling...

Right the policy is anything against Congress , supress everything against BJP highlight.
In fact even the entire election of this Congress and UPA seems suspect as of now.

Congratulations for your and your team's brave investigative journalism talents. Im seeing another Arun Shorie, after a long time. Keep it up. Do not get carried out by politicians.

@Kamal, You are comparing Arun Shorie with Rajdeep !!!! You must be from a different planet. Wake up man.
through this statement of Rajdeep it's shows that media of India is not free . Rajdeep has conducted the job to incrise TRP but could not release CD under presure of Central Govt. or UPA , Rajdeep and his channel is anti national channels .

Hi..friend...why do have to bring in religion into every thing??? i am a christain by birth,but i take as much ,if not more pride in all the achievements of india as a nation and i also weep when india is put to shame...my favourite leader is AB Vajpayee and Narendra Modi,as also Praful Patel...all because apart from politics .these guys have had the courage to push through things that have changed the lives of people...and to this list i will now add Manmohan Singh..because he has had the courage to standby his conviction...all the politicians irrespective of the party they are in are trying to play on the "fears" of the common man...be it a hindu.muslim,christian or anyone else...we need to keep a watch for such unscrupulous elements...but please let us as citizens keep ourselves over the politics f religion!!!!!

u r right this has been the fashion now a days to hide the identity take the case of andhra CM he is also christian, but has not changed his hindu name, God knows what they really have in their conspirator mind, the earlier experiences are not good, they can go to any extent. yesterday the indian government has filed an affidavit in the supreme court saying that Lord Rama himself broke the Ram Setu, so we shall also proceed with our plan.

Mr. Sukhbir -- now why have to blame muslims for these sting operations and Rajdeep Sardesai's actions. What Modi did, the world knows, that's the reason his entry is banned in several countries. 'Rizq' Rozi is written in the master plan by the almighty, you boycott or don't; does not affect anybody's destiny.

Where were your brethen when the Hindu blood was washed on the streets of Kashmir? where were your brethen when the tragedy of partition took place? Just to cut, kill and rape Hindus and Sikhs? Always for a seperate homeland you guys. Jihad is what you want, India should bleed is what Pakistan, Bangladesh and China want. THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN! GET OUT TO PAKISTAN!

why don't you get-out to Pakistan and create Khalistan. Don't blame a particular community or religion for the bloodshed. All are responsible for what's happening. Don't compare the politicians or dirty mind leader's intentions with a common man. If you are worried about Hindus & Sikhs; don't turn a blind eye to Muslims in Kashmir. Stop this hatred and change our mentality.

Yes, Dear Rahul - I have the guts to say he should be hanged; I cannot represent the fanatics or the muslims who are mis-guided; what is wrong is wrong. ISLAM does not preach violence. ISLAM has been always mis-interpreted; all the credits goes to Western Media. Minority tag is imposed by the Power Greedy, the politicians for votes. I have friends from all communities; none of us felt or made anyone feel any kind of discrimination.

don't get the message wrong; I never said Bin-Laden is gentleman or what is doing or preaching is right & true. Probably you must not be aware; America developed 'Bin-Laden' for its evil intentions; now it is back-firing. Same as Pakistan.
Many posts on this board are wayward, irrelevant to the topic and overtly supportive of the high drama of corruption played out in scene by scene by our secular politicians. I think corruption in Indian politics thrives and therefore it permeates through the entire spectrum of our society because citizens committed to one political party or the other tend to endorse them. Even responsible people on TV channels take sides by their laboured arguments although they have a lost case. this is why we see likes of Amar Singh, Ahmed Patel as glowing stars in India's political farmament. The US Govt under Bush has surpassed all cannons of morality and double standards. The US Administration also got involved in this murky affairs of the confidence vote. It declared before the voting that it would have no problem even with a minority Govt. What a standard it sets for democracy on foreign lands.
