It shows the education u get from ur society. Sorry man people like is the reason for India is facing lots of crisis now days. First try to achieve such height where everyone can salute u then u pass comment like this.

Sorry to disagree; What has been Surjit's political prowess - how many elections did he win or left front seats did he get from his state - can you pls answer. Pls dont ever compare a nincompoop like Surjit wwith Manmohan Singh who has a track record to show. The way I look at it 1 gone 2 to go - Jyoti Basu and Prakash Karat

Harkishan Singh Surjeet was shot (twice) by the British police and spent many years in Rritish prisons during the independence struggle.
Manmohan Singh had this to say as he wagged his tail while receiving a "honorary" degree in Oxford.
"... India's experience with Britain had its beneficial consequences too. Our notions of the rule of law, of a Constitutional government, of a free press, of a professional civil service, of modern universities and research laboratories have all been fashioned in the crucible where an age old civilisation met the dominant Empire of the day.
These are all elements which we still value and cherish. Our judiciary, our legal system, our bureaucracy and our police are all great institutions, derived from British-Indian administration and they have served the country well..."
I leave it for the readers to judge where their respective hearts lay.
