Agreed with the previous poster about shame. Here are some interesting facts: Population: 1.2 Billion (80% Hindus) Prime Minister: Singh (from a 2 % minority group) President: Kalam (from a 12% minority group) Country Run by: An Italian widow Currently Famous people: Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Khan, Sania Mirza, (besides the prime minister, president and the widow) Just an observation. Please feel free to add to the list...

Respect Mr. Jacob? Respect comes when religions respect other religions. Look around the world, it's the religions that shamelessly convert people of other religions that are causing all the trouble. India (and Hindus) is a peaceful country. It's the shameless and disrespectful conversions by Muslims and Christians and the terrorist activities (again spurred by religion) has driven some Hindus to become fanatical. It is time to get rid of rogue elements in the peace-loving Hindu society, respectfully.

The real cause of shame are: 1. We have 300 million illiterates and nearly 500 million poor. 2. More than 50% of urban population live in slums. 3. India has a horrible track record in prostitution and AIDS. 4. Corruption at high places is endemic and in all government offices almost total. 5. Our education system and economic development constrained by totally outdated policies and leech like sucking of PSUs by political rentier class. 6. Politics breeds black money, subsists on black money and criminal elements.
A good president who has earned HONEST money can make a big difference. Get real guys!
