Each word in the article is worth to be weighed in gold. It is totally true and reflects exact situation in our country. It could not have been said better. If this was told with some Hindu name, it would have rejected straight away. The entire blame goes to Congress Party and its Italian President who is killing the entire basic structure of our great society. Congress has all along played dirty politics for votes alongwith notorious Laloos and Paswans who has to morals. They have looted this country all along. Left with its loyalty accross borders, together with Britishers have intentionally distorted our history so that every indian has a deep inferiority complex and look towards west for help. Our country has been looted several times and Hindus has just allowed this to happen. Their tolerance is going to destroy the basic fabric and strength of our great nation, if they do not wake up. Only way is to assert our great traditions and customs. Our religions texts are our strengths and we need to respect them. West has nothing to offer except some material gains. In fact India has to give their wisdom to the entire world.
To start with I feel that the sick and corrupt Congress Party has to be thrown out of power. Send the Italian back to Italy. Let Hindus take the lead and all religions will live together with respect for each other. We have allowed everybody to thrive in our holy land. But this should not go to the extent that we are thrown out of our own country.

Its ridiculous to think that once you elect BJP to power or have only Hindus live in India that everyone will live in a utopian world.
uh.. sorry my friends... it aint gonna happen.. and I gotta disagree... I will ape the western culture when I want to and I will ape the eastern culture when I want to and I will turn into an ape if I have to and I will be myself when I want to.
All such articles that try and glorify one religion and use such sentimental crap to get hordes of Indians shouting from the top that theirs is the best culture are nothing but meglomaniacal fantasies.
As for the menace of terrorism, it has to be treated from the root and is not a political treaty that can be signed or something a BJP government or a Congress government can wipe out in a year. There can be a parliament attack when BJP is in power but that does not mean that its the BJPs fault and similarly here for the UPA. So, to use these terror attacks to politicize and corrupt more people's minds drives people back to the Babri era when a few Hindus put us all to shame.
Do not lay the blame on someone else. DO not put the blame on some Italian lady or some corrupt politician or some religion etc. Offer solutions if you can.
And for the record, Italians, Americans, Africans, Asians, Australians and the rest of you out there, you are all welcome to India despite all this crap people keep throwing out.

CatchTwentyTwo, Frankly speaking the article is correct and points to some specific issues. Repealing of POTA, Buying Votes, Islamic terrorism Are you saying that all is hunky dory and we should pretty much be apes and ignore all the issues? Yes parliament attack happened during NDA. Afzal guru was caught. What did UPA do? There were less than 10 terror strikes during NDA and over 30 during UPA. Data shows that POTA may not be a bad idea. Why then POTA was repealed? Couldnt UPA have ensured that it was not misused. Why POTA like legislations were passed in UPA states of AP & Mah while gathering dust for 3 years for Guj & Raj? Anyone with commonsense would see that it was repealed for vote bank politics. Second issue - Buying of votes. Do you even know what the nuclear deal entails. Let me not go into details and surmise that there are enough intellectuals, scientists and industrials who have things to say against the deal in the current form while there are a few who are for it. The point is, for such an important issue, instead of ensuring a sensible broad debate, UPA went ahead hurried pushing the deal and resorted to absolute criminal ways to get their vote. Are you suggesting that is fine. How long will you deny that we are suffering form islamic terrorism? Idiots like you think you are intelligent and logical but actually you are very dumb and illinformed and and thanks to people like you, India is suffering and will only keep going down to apeworld.

1. Nuclear deal: There are enough "noted" people for and enough people against the deal. I stand for it. Dont care what the others think.
2. How long will you deny that we are suffering form islamic terrorism? I dont deny it. I also dont deny that there is hindu fundamentalism.
3. Are you saying that all is hunky dory and we should pretty much be apes and ignore all the issues? No, you can do what you want. I will do what I want. I dont want to blame you for anything.
4. Why then POTA was repealed? Couldnt UPA have ensured that it was not misused? POTA, which came into force in 2002 among other things allowed the detention of suspects for up to 180 days without the filing of charges in court. In Gujarat, POTA is known to have been widely used to target the Muslim minority. Let me know if it makes any sense to target one community of "possibly" innocent people. It is easy to sit in your comfortable homes and preach and say nasty things about Islam and other religions but if you are picked up by a policeman and put in jail for 180 days with no reasons/no justifications/not even a report, then you will know what it means to have POTA. Would you like that to happen to you and your family? Do you want to give the police that kind of power that can be easily misused? There have to be checks and balances, my friend. They are necessary.
The rest of the criticism about a name, about hypocrisy, assumption of intelligence etc. is just not worthy of response
