Wake up tathagata its day and sunrays are falling on your face.. dont dream now
This man is probably the best man to have happened to India. He is less a politician and more a principled man. Why can't we Indians WANT TO have a strong leader for our country instead of weaklings like Mr sleepless-over-terrorist?
As far as the jinnah statement is concerned, I still wonder what is wrong in what Advani said. He claimed jinnah to be secular which is a 100% true fact. Whether jinnah was the cause of partition or whether nehru/gandhi was the same is not the point here. How good or bad a human being jinnah was is also not in contention here. The simple question is: WAS JINNAH SECULAR? The simple answer is: YES. Remember that he made pakistan a secular state although he used islam's name to create the state.

Kaushik Das worry about the sorry state of Bihar and how to fix it before worrying about the world problems. This is the core issue with Bihar and Biharis, they don't care what happens in their villages and localities and would discuss what happens in rest of India and Somalia.
I feel whole Jinnah episode is a strategy. In certain sense I really appreciate RSS & BJP's plan. Advani purposefully went to pakistan and that too Jinnah Mousoleum and purposefully made a controvarcial statement. Advani, who is always famous for think twice before talk one word, will not shoot his foot like that. It was well thought out strategy.
Because until then Vajapayee was moderate leader and use to get a criticism from hardcore hindutva followers or conservatives. Advani was hawk and use to get criticism from liberals. Because Vajapayee is both old and poor health he has to retire. Obviously next possible and deserved leader is Advani because he is senior and well accepted with hardliners. But the problem is liberals. So to appease liberals and get an acceptance from NDA partners Advani made such controvercial remarks. As planned RSS opposed him strongly and made him to resign so that he get some sympathy too from liberals and non-BJP voters. As dust settles they made him PM candidate.
So Advani is taking Vajapayee's sandals. But the question is who is taking Advani's sandals? Who else other than Modi? He proved himself as hawk & leader, successful in arousing people's emotion & winning elections, and development hero.
Earlier the idea was I guess Vajapayee-Advani, Advani-Mahajan, and Mahajan-Modi. But now after sad demise of Mahajan it is Advani-Modi. Also it could be a ploy to silence other jumping leaders to support Modi. Because Advani is already 81.
Advani has written a very honest memoir and a foreword by Vajpayee is another shot in the arm for this book. Though I haven't read it I did go through some important sections of the same which were mentioned in India Today. The good thing about this book is that Advani had not failed to mention his differences with Vajpayee on some issues and also the feud within BJP after his much criticised, praising of Jinnah as secular. He also said he never regretted for the remarks made about Jinnah and gave the reason for the same. Everyone would have thought that the book would be simply Congress bashing right till the end but it wasn't. Advani has praised Narasimha Rao and Manmohan for bringing lot of economic reforms in the country during the former's tenure as prime minister but at the same time he also described Manmohan as the weakest Prime minister ever and he also wondered whether Sonia Gandhi's residence was the offical residence of the prime miniser. He also sympathised with Sonia Gandhi for the pains she had undergone as a woman, but at the same time questioned her for applying for Indian citizenship only when Rajiv Gandhi was about to enter Indian politics. What was she doing all along for 14 years after her marriage. Overall it was an open book in which he had covered almost every aspect of Indian politics he has experineced all these years. With elections not too far way this book will have a serious effect on the Indian voters and might pave the way for BJP rule.
COMMIE = COMMUNAL (FAVOURING ONE COMMUNITY OVER OTHER FOR PERSONAL SHORTTERM GAIN) CONGI = CRIMINAL (MANIPULATE POWER FOR PERSONAL COMFORT IN NAME OF ALL NICE THINGS)
NDA govt was better compared to UPA--Age definitely matters for Mr.Advani--but he definitely can perform better than the present PM-Mr.Manmohan singh-irrespective of ratha yata and masjid issues he is still a better politician in indian present political scenario---His effors at Pak regarding mr.Jinha needs maturity to understand and appreciate ,for the welfare of the people of both the countries especially living near border it was a right step--but definitely present set of Congress party won't be much of picture after next loksabha elections NDA or left parties has more responsibilities on their shoulders.
