Menon is resorting to sophistry and is sweeping under the carpet difficult issues.
India faces twin challenges of Totalitarian Islamism and totalitarian Communism.
Since the days of Mohummad Ghazni, Islamism has remained an albatross across our necks. Post 1949 Chinese takeover of Tibet, Chinese Imperialism compounded our problems.
India had suffered on account of our inability to fashion a strategic response to the above problems. Menon's response too does not reflect a strategic response to the above challenges. Mere sophistry and sweeping the core issues under the carpet beyond public view has never helped anyone.

how long u will weep for past spoiling future prospects.
peace inside country is most important pre requisite for grwth. and it will not come by polarising communities, and blaming others religion using inflammatory language.

Oh yeah!! what an idea vivek. People ...see this fellow vivek...the face of indian politicians.. "India faces twin challenges of Totalitarian Islamism and totalitarian Communism. " is very apt sentence. Dont try to act smart. I have respect for muslims who dont blindly believe "I will do this cos this is written in koran"..Koran or sunnah is just a collection..written by human. People like you suck!! Saying Jai Hind is anti-secular today. Celebrating hinduism doesnt degrade islam. Dont be such a coward.

I stand for unity. But i hate hypocrites, I dont blame u. Tamil and telugu people are to be blamed. I wish BJP had made pact with Karunanidi and Chandra babu naidu had won. BJP would have come into power. Shame on Congress. And of course mulayam..he says SIMI is not terrorist Org..How do u expect a country to be peacefulwhen u have such leaders...And despite the violence in gujrat, its still no.1 in india. Hindus stand for live and let live unlike muslims. If there is one party thats trying to uplift hindus, you people call it religious. DOnt u feel bad when muslims reject to sing national anthem or vandemataram. No body talks against muslims then. Be Open man!! We just came out of Muslim/British tyranny just 60 yrs ago.. Dont try to send India to those dark ages by denying hinduism.

mr manohar,
just count how many sentences in ur reply looking for common grounds for unity, and how many more of them searching differences and reasons to disunite.
