State of the Nation

The way in which the MNIK controversy has blown out is indeed very Sad. I am very proud to be an Indian, citizen of a nation with strong unity in so many diversities. But the way things have been turning up, be it MNIK or struggle for smaller states or corruption, it gives lot of ammnunation for countries who do not want to see India grow. More than anything else, politicians like Thackerey's, Chavanas, Pawars and others are holding the country with Gun to Head. When the Government should be focussing on inclusive development, building infrastructure and other priority things, it has to focus on irrelevant issues. Agreed that the Constitution gurantees freedom of speech, bt it never says that one should act in such way, as to what is happening in Mumbai.

As educated youngesters, it is very important for us to voice our concern and ensure that we do something and force the government to do its part. People must vote to elect government and representatives properly.

Turmoil for Mumbai

The recent spates of incidents in Mumbai are really saddening. The actions of both Congress and Shiv Sena are pathetic. No body seems to be concerned about the ordinary Mumbaikar. If Shiv Sena had any problems with Shahrukh Khan, it should talk with him rather than attacking public property, causing harrasement to common man and creating a nuisance. The State government on its part is not handling the situation with a maturity and is acting like a two year old kid. It is high time that the politicians rid themselves of votebank Politics and concerntrate on what is expected of them. That will do a great good for Mumbai, Maharatra and India as a whole.

Leaders for India

Our Country needs Leaders like Lal Babahdur Shastri and not dumb followers like there are in Congress or BJP. The fundamental right for free speech and thought must be respected by our political parties. the hue and cry raised over Shashi Tharoor's comments is irrelevant. What was relevant in the context of early post independence years is not relevant today. Seen in this light Tharoor's view are very correct.
