: The "past torch for the present"? What if the past torch is impeding the present by filling our brains with hot-air? Since you have got personal with me, here goes..you seem to be from the older generation who sat in a govt. office in TN doing nothing just resting on the laurels of your "matric" and how great your father and uncles and how great your family history was.
Taj Mahal was built by labourers in conditions close to enslavement! Mr.Fossil, world has changed since then.
Nobody said throwing a few morsels of food is going to solve any problem and sure, it needs to be done in a sustained manner (thanks for quoting the irrelevant and the obvious). But what is the use of saying I was "great once upon a time" wasting time instead of saying "I need to improve, and improve constantly"
All Im saying is India is great, but lets not rest on history. Let us move forward and solve problems one by one. The first step to solving the problem is accepting that there is one.
It is gas-filled fools like you who have brought India to the condition where it is. Every time an Indian says "India needs to improve", idiots like you shoot back "India was great a thousand years back" wah!
History is important to learn lessons and correct them moving forward. You have twisted this by saying we need to rest (and laze) under the past glory forgetting the present and future.
Why is it mine and your problem to bring meals to Indians? You are indeed an idiot, I rest my case!
