BJP Sucks
by Santosh Raghavan on Oct 04, 2007 02:21 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Nothing against the Mahatma or the Hindu faiths.But believe or disbelieve is upto an individual. Asking her to drop her surname since she does not have faith, what ridiculous.

So every child that does not believe in their Parents faith must drop their Surnames. BJP pls take a break, ur tactics are old and rotten

dude, i think it started with feroz gandy(he is a multiple cross breed) who married indira nehru.I think MK gandhi adopted him becoz nehru did not like indira getting married to a cross breed or something(as if nehru himself is from one breed).Then, this gandhi name came into the picture.sonia should have blood relation with musolini as far as i know.

Did u mean to Say that only Siblings of Mahatma Gandhi could have the surname - Gandhi?

If Indira and her sons could be called Gandhi, so does the Sonia too. Did she split with the family??? Repeating again, Iam no Fan of Sonia Gandhi or Rahul...But still speaking about the democratic rights of an individual alone.

Absolutely agree! Now BJP is trying to act like the "Keeper of the keys"... they don't own the Gandhi surname and India is a free country where anyone has the freedom of believing or not beleving in Ram or Allah or whoever... BJP should stop being teh Hindu Taliban.
