Well, Kislay, Team Anna has certainly made people aware of the scourge of corruption. Indian society has been jolted out of its complacency and made to think, which can only be good for us.

BTW, nice to see back and blogging!

The BJP not only needs to project itself as different from the Congress but it needs to actually BE different from the Congress. I think currently it is not. It is- as you have pointed out- 'just a poor B-team of the Congress'.

It is a pity that the BJP has failed to bring forward any other leader- other than Narendra Modi-whose goal is to make India a developed and strong nation. The BJP should have ideally had several such national level leaders by now. But in the present situation- I agree, Narendra Modi for PM is the big idea which is likely to succeed.

Very logically analysed. I agree that the Pak military and perhaps govt. too was protecting Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad.

But what an extraordinary co-incidence it would be if the US discovered his hiding place and killed him just days after Obama declared he would contest presidential elections in 2012. It may be naive of me but I cannot believe this.

Agree totally with the last para of this post.....

The aam admi has become some kind of a joke- so very true!

There was a time, before television news channels, when a media person was likely to be an aam admi himself.

Times have changed and the media has morphed into a modern Marie Antoinette- offering the aam admi the illusion of cake. No matter that in reality he cannot get even bread!

"India’s tragedy is that its smug, deracinated, copy-cat zombies who influence public opinion either cannot see, or do not wish to, the insidious dynamics at work." - Exactly.

And if events continue in this same manner, who knows what is in store for our country? We see what the situation of Hindus is, in our neighbouring self-proclaimed Islamic countries. Will this be the fate of Indian Hindus in the future?

Great come-back post, Vinodji!

Very persuasive and to-the-point post. I hope that many will be inspired to support The Akshay Patra Foundation in a tangible way!

Glad to see you back- may we hope that you will be posting more frequently now?

Some among us do indeed need to rise to meet this threat. But it is so extremely difficult for anyone to do so.

In the aftermath of the CWGs we see that the politicians are getting off free- pehaps even Kalmadi will be spared.

The contractors, however, who really had no hope of getting these contracts without greasing palms, will be caught and punished.

Where ordinary traders, professionals and businessmen cannot even make a decent living without falling prey to corruption, who can stay 'clean' enough to expose the crooks?

As for Dynasties- seems they are here to stay, and getting stronger and more influential....
