Achey Din 6/26/2014: Modi vs MMS, Subverting Judiciary, Politics in Education, Railway vs Home

It is not a very tall ask that I should be able to write at least 500 words a day apart from my official work. But, that is still not happening. I do not know whether this new attempt is going to achieve that wish; lets see.

The Sanghi PM, Sri Narendra Modi, is going to complete his first month in office today. By his standard, the tenure is a Pin-Drop-Silent one. It is not that there was nothing to speak; rather there were many things to indulge in fist fight on national TV like:

• Arnab's Brawl
• Rahul's Court
• Barkha's Darbar
• Rajdeep's Reliance :)

Yet, he chose to give a parting shot to the former PM, Dr. Manmohan Singh, whom they called
MOUN Mohan Singh. Fair enough!

While scrolling through the Web page of several news portals, I thought, without putting my comment there below the news items, it would be great If I put them on my blog. This may help me achieve my objective of writing at least 500 words each day. :)

Lets begin!

Chaos of  Sound vs Silence of Lamp

56 inch nu Whatever and 283 nu Number is of no use, if you are not SURE. And if a dispensation is not sure with such physical prowess and Parliamentary muscle; then what can be construed?  This is not like one off incident; there are trends of such U turns in the last 30 days of Modi sarkar, like:

• Train price roll back
• Article 370
• Gas & diesel pricing

Dr. Singh with 145 Congress member did not even bat his eye-lid once when Left walked away UPA 1 over Nuclear deal. He did it again, when TMAC and DMK left UPA 2 when certain pro-reform stands were taken. A decision can be wrong or right; it can not partially right or wrong. All the time his silence spoke and that was louder than any orchestrated vibrataion of  vocal cord of a 56 inch nu seena.

Gopal Subramanium HAD to turn-down the offer of CJI for he OFFERED ROSE PETAL to GANDHI!

Is this related to article 377? Well, very likely. How can a married old man offer rose petals to a widower? That is gross by the standard of SANGHIS; even if they have ENSURED that the widower is a mere statue.

Jokes apart, it seems the Modi Sarkar wants to subvert the judiciary to their liking as that is the last bastion of opposition the COHORTS of criminal expect a setback from.

So, Judiciary has also tested the "Achey Din" of Modi Sarkar. It is even more dangerous that on the day Smt. Indira Gandhi called emergency 38 years before, the SC is capitulating to the WHIM of the Govt.

Smriti Irani (Jo Abhi Bhi 12th class hey) Firing Politics at DU Over the Shoulder of UGC

Did SaaS ever applied for DU and she was rejected due to high cut-off? It seems SaasU Maa is targeting to complete her B.A. or B.Com, aren't they same?  :)

On a serious note, the former HRD minister, who completed all his degrees TRUTHFULLY, wrote a very detailed article about the role of UPA in dealing with autonomous bodies like DU and UGC. In contrast, the Modi Sarkar is doing all its take to take forward the unfinished agenda of previous NDA regime to SAFFRONISE education. In the same breath, I want to also denounce the stance taken by the NSUI in this regard. I do not believe that one year is sufficient to judge, rectify and reject a new system.

Rajdhani Accident; Tussle between Railway and home Minstry

It was not an unusual scene on a railway track. But, it assumed more importance because the train was a RAJDHANI train. Rich or poor, any life lost is avoidable and we can only have sympathy for the deceased and the injured ones.

But, the problem is the way different departments trying to split the hair. Railway is calling it a sabotage, where as Home Minister is calling it an accident. I hope the Supreme Leader of Modi Sarkar pronounce the final reason of this accident soon.  

Silence of NOISE!

According to Shekhar Gupta, the dream year for the journalists was 1984. That year so many things happened in Indian political space that the news desks were feeling resource crunch to cover them. I do not know about that. I just can remember, I was 2 and Half years then and my father took me to the Kendrapara High school Ground to see Indira Gandhi. That was her last visit to Odisha. I do not know, how can I have a photographic memory of that event till now, I can not remember anything close to that during that time; may be morning shows the day. :) 

Then I remember several noisy elections in rural setup; those were quite colorful. I loved the election counting days, because we would have back to back movies on Doordarshan. Still, they were not noisy. The Noise increased with the advent of Private TV channels. The noise level broke limits when the Jamuna water sipped into the newly prepared Common Wealth Game Village buildings; Arnab Goswamy reached his teen,  Rahul Knawal was born and Barkha bruised by Radi tapes, was trying to regain her youth. 

And this was the time, a well orchestrated Noisy drama made its way into Indian politics. The main protagonist of that drama was Narendra Modi who was smart enough to understand the requirement of the new age media houses. They were competing for NOISE and the NOISE himself was available. 

The noise was Narendra Modi. 

The NOISE made its way through the following stages:

Stage 1:

First few years the noise was in the form of CAG reports and then the related pandemonium in the parliament and he subsequent replacement of Parliament debate by debates in corporate funded media houses.

Stage 2:

Then the staged crusade against corruption through Saffron agents like Anna Hazare, Ram dev, Kiran Bedi and controversial Army chief V.K Singh. 

Stage 3: 
New media enterprise in the form of Unreal Times and Faking News, which took over the imagination of gossip loving Indian youths. 

Stage 4:

Then the noise was spread onto the social media in the form of filthy cartoons of Dr. Manmohan singh and Smt. Sonia Gandhi and spoofs of  Rahul Gandhi on Youtube. 

Stage 5:
Suddenly from no where the Gujrat Model hit the stand. It was a classical Shock & Awe drill played on bot the social media and mainstream media like economic Times.  

Stage 5:
Dec 16 rape in Delhi, one of the well orchestrated movements that build the crescendo before the NOISE himself made an entry.

Stage 6: 
Finally, the NOISE made a grand entry with his modulating voice. Even, on the Republic Day, he challenged the PM of India; even Pakistan will never do it. 

This is how NOISE spoke fro the last 4 years. No issue was given a go by to target Dr. Singh. Be it:

• the CAG report
• the killing of Army jawan on the border
• the corruption issue
• the rape in dec 16
• the price of Diesel
• the Gas price hike

People of India; 31% of them lapped it up; India finally elected her 15th PM. Suddenly, he became an orator to Narendra Damodar Mauni. 

On 21st May i.e. five days before taking oath of the office , he siad, 

CAG reports must not be used to target opponents

Impressive start, isn't it? The media which has MODIfied itself now into MOIDA played the ball shamelessly. There was no heated debate in TV studios and that was great precursor for the impending SILENCE that was coming our way. 

Then came the report of a killing of army jawan on the border, still the new Mauni baba went ahead and literally bent at 45 degree before Nawaz Shariff. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

Then cams the occasion of inducting Ministers, he did not falter. He went ahead and presided over one of the most criminal cabinet in history. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

Then cam the appointment of former TRAI chief Nirpinder Mishra as Principle Secretary through a ordinance rout, when NDA enjoys a majority in Loksbaha. Remember, Mr. Mishra was the person on whose advice A. Raja turned down the PM and FM suggestions to auction 2G spectrum. Later the same was use PRESUMED as a scam by CAG and Modi used that handle to ASSUME power at center. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

Then came the barbaric rape and murder in Badaun in UP. The man who was asking for vote using the insecurity of Dec 16 rape incident, suddenly went into a mute mode. Even the UN Secretary General was forced to make a statement, but he is yet to make one. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

One fine morning, we read a news in some corner of the news papers (there was no breaking news) that Diesel price has been increased. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

Then came the news of gas price hike; we came to know about it looking at the share value of Ambani on Stock Exchange. This man was opposing the Gas price hike before election. 

No question was asked or no answer was given.

So much silence from the Embodiment of NOISE, that people are concerned whether it is an ISI conspiracy. :)

Silence of NOISE is a concern as, this man ran a concerted campaign against the Silence of Dr. Singh before election, and when he assumed it, he is not speaking on important issues which is making him look like a HYPOCRITE.  

First Wicket has Fallen! Modi 2.0 is the Bowler!!

The day BJP own the national election, I changed my SM profiles with this photo. you do not need to believe in astrology to do a forecast about what a Modi sarkar will be. You just need to look at their rise to power; which is all about their intolerance based on some narrow religious identity. 

It was good to hear some reassuring words from Modi when he became the 15th PM of India. Since, he has been giving good sound bites which would have forced some independent observer to qualify the overtures as attempts to outreach. Some are hoping that Modi would be transformed from Modi 1.0 to Modi 2.0. Well, he might have already been transformed, with his journey from the CM of Gujrat to the PM of Indian. At least today, I do not see any change in his inner-self apart from his well scripted sound bites. 


Many stalwarts are eager to speculate and see a statesman in him, when he is yet to make any real effort to shade the tag of 2002. In the interview to Arnmab Goswamy, he came down heavily on Gujrat SIT for implicating his Women & child Development Minister, Maya Kodnani; and did a great hydra act to heap praise on the same SIT to give him a clean chit at the level of the sessions court. 

So, is this the sign of a person who wants to CHANGE? I at least, can not accept such silly charade and pretend to have discovered a Statesman. 

Now, after wining the election, when world was going gaga over his possible transformation, looking at the enormity of the post he is going to hold as PM of a piece of land mass which tests the limit of diversity, he was in a different mood. He was planning how to award the riot accused in Muzaffarnagar riot. 

Those who do not understand the significance of the occasion, they must be told that BJP increased its tally from 10 seats in 2009 to 73 in 2014. This is nothing less than BJP coming to power in Gujrat after 2002 riot. 

So, there has to be a Maya kodnani in union ministry too. So, Sanjeev Balayan was rewarded aptly. 

As the Modi 2.0 occupied Delhi, he became unusually SILENT. While a soldier was killed on the Indo-Pak border, he chose to bend before Pak PM. His ministers were found to be lying under oath, but he was silent because he was no MORALITY to ask questions to his minister for obvious reasons. 



The heart wrenching rape in UP while forced UN to take note, our glib PM was found wanting in expressing his views. 

All this was happening,  and still our media was heaping praise for him being very vocal about issues. Somebody should wake them up for their dream that the election campaign is over and Modi has stopped talking.

Finally, within a 10 days of his CORONATION, as several of his Bhakta are describing huis swearing-in-ceremony, an Indian was beaten to death for sporting a beard and wearing a skull cap. This is after the Hindutva forces went on rampage damaging 250 buses in Pune over a FB post. 

And, how are they describing it? 

FIRST WICKET HAS FALLEN!

And who is the Bowler? It's Modi 2.0. 

Are Seculars Sick? Should I Reject it because Communalism Won?

It is vivid in my mind. It had a great impact on me since my childhood. I remember my father, a bureaucrat in revenue department of Odisha Govt., used to take me through the crowded by-lanes of Muslim dominated areas of my town, Kendrapara, Odisha. It was a scooter ride and father used to tell me while passing through the by-lane, that we must not make them feel isolated. 

He was a SICKULAR and I am his SON, a proud son. 

I am writing it after reading through few paragraphs of an article on The Hindu, "How Modi Defeated Liberals Like me?"

Lately, a new change I have marked in my father. Last several years, he has developed a slight dislike for Muslims and spends a lot of his retired life watching several serials; one of them at the top of his priority list is Rana Pratap. Yes, that serial where Muslim invaders are ICONISED with a prominent deep cut on their cheek/nose with an indelible mark of intimidating mole. My 5/6 year old Bhanja can identify these medieval characters on the road without these cut and mole; they just need to have a trademark Beard. 

Welcome to new India! 

The serials which I grew with up were Ramayana, Mahabharata, Param Veer Chakra, The Sword of Tipu Sultan and Bharat Ek Khoj. I can still remember running to home on the bank of a meandering Canal after the Sunday morning study at a relative's home, so that I do not miss the title song of Param veer Chakra. I can faintly remember the episode how Abdul Hamid  earned his Param veer Chakra. I can vividly remember, that I was crying like a child (I was a child then) when Tipu was killed. 

Do you think I was SICKULAR from my child hood? Do you think, I was Muslim loving Left Liberal at the age of 8/9?  Do you think, I grew up in the middle of a Muslim ghetto?

No. I grew up in a village right among the Brahmin community that I belong to. I remember grand mother forcing me to take a purifying bathe for accidentally touching the washer woman who used to come regularly to collect dirty clothes for washing. 

With such a childhood, now, I consider those as my Indianess. I consider them as my tribute to the forefathers who saw an India where we are Indians always and religious at home or religious places. That is what I believe is secularism and that is not a disease. 

The article which forced me to write this, depicted as if no political leader till Narendra Modi's aarati at the Ganga, had the audacity to practice religion in the glare of camera. 

Was that a correct assessment? Or these are the sounds of convenience in tune to the changed political wind of the season? 

I think this is nothing but a counter narrative to demolish Nehru. The last political leader who had a scientific temper was Pt. Nehru; the subsequent ones have shamelessly displayed their religious nature by falling before the Dhongi Babas, carrying chaddars to mosques, doing aarati/havan at temples. 

With such overwhelming evidence of too much religion in politics, intellectuals to bash Secularism as the reason to piss the middle class off is a blatant lie. This propaganda of these intellectuals are only to discredit secularism and the proponents of the same. 

Secularism is in our blood, it exhorts us to respect another religion. As a majority community, it adds another responsibility towards the minorities who we live with; the responsibility of their well-being. If that has pissed off the middle-class, then we have to be worried about as a nation' not about the relevance of secularism. 

Secularism is being targeted in the name of appeasement for minorities. If there was appeasement, then Sachar committee report would not have been a reality today. 

The reality is society is getting more and more selfish.  The rich, after denying level playing field to the poor for years, can not digest that resources are slowly being directed towards them for their upliftment. 

Propaganda against secularism is just an extension of that selfishness. The majority thinks, nation can be realized based on a religion and sharing resource with religious minorities is unnecessary.  

The  victorious commmunalism is trying to give the last push to Indian sensibilities. If we do not withstand that and shade secularism in response, we will be the partner in crime of changing the DNA of India once and for all.

Gah to Glory: A Journey of India since 1932

While many are debating whether India has a democratic system to reciprocate to the call of any average Indian, a man is silently, true to his nature, packing to move into 3 Motilal Nehru Marg. 

This soft spoken Silent Giant is an answer to such a blabbering cacophony, which thinks India must repent by choosing a Self-professed Chaiwala to the August office of the Prime Minister of India. 

PM Dr. Singh is a picture perfect description of an India just before partition and an India which is a vibrant economic power amidist a crippled world economy. 

Gah to Glory is a tribute to this man on his last few days in his office!

I have not checked the latest photos of Gah, the village in Pakistan, but it would certainly not be that better than what it was when Dr. Singh born in September 26, 1932. Imagine if Jihna was tolerant enough like our leaders during partition; Pakistan would have been transformed. They lost such silent souls, and today their country has too many voices but none human; all are gun shots or bombs going BOOM. 

That is the danger of not recognizing the sanity of silence. India beware, your one of the silent crusaders against UNDERDEVELOPMENT has been damned as a devil. And the tragedy is those who derided him most by splashing disinformation using cheap CARTOONS are young. Are these going to be the demographic dividend that the country is wiling to place bait on? 

Born in extreme poverty and far away from any means of level playing field in Gah, pakistan, he exactly did what makes a "rag to rich story" an inspiring one. He never yelled to stand First through out his career; why should one yell if there is substance. :) 

Alas! that is what is called COMMUNICATION in this era. 

He failed there, because he thought TRUTH sells like noting, and as like the institutions he served throughout, the media and the public at large would realize the essence of the silence.  

When well educated Indians were leaving this country in hordes, Dr. Singh came back to India after exhausting what the WORLD had to offer in terms of EDUCATION. That shows his commitment for the country. If you want to sample it, read what he said when he returned to sense after his heart surgesry some years back. 

'Dr Singh is a really good man, he thinks of the country all the time'

This man rose many ladders working in the Govt. of India and was finally burst into public domain as the Finance Minister of India with those great word of Victor Hugo, 

No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come

Those words were truly reflecting the man who quoted them. So, the words became reality in no time. India was reborn on 1991 as Manmohan led reform process was kicked in under the aegis of then Prime Minister Sri PVN Rao. 

All the govt. since 1996, followed his prescription for economy till today as India becomes the third largest economy in PPP in terms or purchasing power parity and 10th largest in nominal GDP term. 

The only perceptible change that has come about is the Manmohanomics has shifted from tickle-down model to an Inclusive-Model. It has its impact to be seen. Till 2004 the reforms started in 1991 could only lift people above poverty at the rate of .8% annually. Since 2004, the rate has increased to nearly three fold at 2.2%. 

This is not a small feat to alleviate 144 million people out of poverty in a span of 8 years. He did it when Indian economy became four times that it was in 2004. That means, he full-filled his commitment of inclusive growth; 7.6% average GDP growth and poverty alleviation. 

Is there any better model than that? 

Some,  right-wing economists think the investment in the people are waste as it is like feeding them fish instead of teaching them how to fish. And for this, they think Manmohanomics has a profound intervention in the form of another power center i.e. Sonia. 

That means, they are saying if there was no Sonia, there would not have been social sector spending like MNREGA, Rural Helath Mission, PMGSY, RTE and the recent one FSB. If you look into their eyes and ask what about the subsidy  that few industry enjoys in the form of soft-loan, tax holiday, land at toffee rate and then pardoning bad loans; they would do a HYDRA.   


They would wear the GARB of sanity and starts preaching about how Govt. delayed the removal of fuel subsidy and how GST could have been an ACE in a reform starving India. That is the intellect they posses to talk about the silence of Dr. Singh. 

One, media manager wrote a book too thinking as if he is the Principal Secretary. :)

With so much freedom and democracy, no country can grow as fast as India; I am not including:

• Hyper active Judiciary without any technical experty to comprehend issues
• Saffronised civil society with an agenda to stall governance
• Paralyzed parliament at the whim of likes of Ravishankar Prasad
• Unmanageable regional selfishness reflected in coalition politics
• Intellectually dishonest/bankrupt media turning studio into a joke

Such was the chaos in domestic front when, emerging economies were asked repeatedly to pitch in to save the world economy for the crony capitalism in the developed economy. 

In the face of such crisis, the world discovered a great economist in Dr. Singh. since, he has been recognized as a leader to whom Barak Obamas, David Cameroons or Angela Morkels of the world listen with respect.  

Alas! Back in India, our SM guys started churning out abhorring cartoon pics; because they found that the New Age Indians are into Page 3. What great churning was India going through; when we were bashing Dr. Singh on Page 3.

For what? 

Our growth has decelerated to 5%. Middle class is selling out more on EMI and poor are eating away their Tax as subsidy. Is this the stirring that will make India? To supplement this, media started writing horrible economic scenarios of doom for India. Page 3 reading Indians were made to believe that India is run at the Bombay Stock Exchange. 

I think last July was the time when right wing economists started writing Obituary to Indian economy. They lost their head and as headless-chickens compared it to be worse than 1991.

But, they forgot if there is one person who knows how to handle it; it can none other than be the architect himself. Dr. Singh. In his silence, he is leaving an economy that is more resilient and with a launch pad to rely on. 

A man for whom to use a word like "INCORRUPTIBLE" is like casting an aspersion, is leaving his office on 15th May 2014. His life meanders the path India took since 1932. 

I salute this man and his contribution to India. I rate him the best PM India has ever seen after Pandit Nehru. 

10 Janpath vs RSS Head Quarter: conscious & subconscious

I am writing this in the backdrop of:

1. RSS anointing Narendra Modi as PM candidate
2. RSS accepting that it is managing election campaign of Narendra Modi
3. Modi paying visit to RSS Chief just before the crucial last phase for the 16th loksabha election

The title spells out the dilemma many Indians are grappling with; to REJECT 10 Janpath as an conscious decision or ACCEPT RSS headquarter as a sub-conscious capitulation to fascist forces? They look as if they are all and same; they are not; One is rejecting a democratically responsive regime and the other is accepting a fascist organization.

To understand this well we need to understand what are these address signifies in Indian political landscape. 

10 Janpath was a Govt. accommodation for the DEMOCRATICALLY elected former MP and then the second PM of India, Sri Lal Bahadur Sastri. This address has many 18 month jinxes, like:

1. Sastriji died after 18 months into office
2. Indian youth Congress office was shutdown by Janata Govt after a 18 month stint during emergency 
3. Rajeev was assassinated after 18 months into the house after his crushing defeat in 1989. 

A nice anecdote can be pushed here relating to Rajeevji and this house. As a PM, Rajeevji was staying in 7 Race course (First PM to stay there) and after his defeat he asked VP Singh to move in and choose an unprepared 10 Janpath. 

Then, this is how a CPWD engineer recalled how Rajiv, when told that 10 Janpath was “jinxed”, had laughed it off saying: “Jab woh bhoot is bhoot ko dekhega toh woh bhag jayega (When that ghost sees this one, he will run away).”  :)

And we  know what happened after 18 months. 

That may be the reason why Sri La Krishna Advani turned down the offer of Rajeev Gandhi to move into 10 janpath. He offered him the house after he ceased to be the Leader of Opposition during ChandraShekhar led Govt. He wanted to turn this as the permanent house for subsequent Leaders of Opposition as 7 race course is for PM. If that would have happened, Sonai won't be tagged with 10 Janpath. :)

This house has housed all the democratically elected representatives who took the oath of upholding the constitution of India. It's occupants have to stand the scrutiny of the people through periodic elections and accountable top them through Parliament. In a way, they also have to face the consequences of the jinx that 10 Janpath has been associated with and talked about briefly above. :)

So, if the current resident of 10 Janpath is facing the wrath of people for ""all reasons that Reason itself fail to reason,"" it will be still considered as a DEMOCRATIC rejection. Normally, a democratic rejection is considered to be an AWARE decision of the VOTERS and all should respect it. 

BUT!!!

This can not be seen in ISOLATION from the other important house; the house of opposition i.e. RSS headquarter in Nagpur. RSS was banned by Sri Sardar Patel for participating in political activities, effectively making it a religioso-cultural organization. Though, it was successful in asexually reproducing BJP as its political heir apparent. Still, the house never participated any direct democratic tussle; but only hiding behind BJP. The road to RSS headquarter littered with:

• Defiance of Indian constitution
• Designs of innumerable communal riots

Let me lay bare the difference of 10 Janpath and RSS headquarter: 

10 Janpath never hosted UNDEMOCRATIC elements, where as RSS headquarter never has a brush with DEMOCRATIC processes. 


With this FACT, the conscious rejection of 10 Janpath and subconscious acceptance of RSS headquarter raises some serious doubts: 

• The doubt about the ability of Indian voters to think RATIONALLY. 
• The ability of Indian voters to understand the difference of conscious decision and subconscious intervention in Indian democracy. 

It will be an watershed moment in Indian democracy; when we most probably be accused by the world of closing our eyes to the example of the Dance of Democracy in Germany in 1933. 

Note: This might look like, I have accepted the defeat of Congress as an independent Congress supporter. But this must be taken as an assumption till the morning of 17th May 2014. 

But, the true nature of the two houses are as per my observation in the write up. There is no scope of ASSUMPTIONS there. 

Congress Always Plays the Emotional Card; Because We Value Our Sacrifices.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Since, I become old enough to join the multitude of specialist political commentary where it matters i.e not in the TV studio, I have heard friends saying, Congress wins by masterful plucking of the emotional chord of the Gullible Indian Citizens.  

Yes, their charge is that the martyrdom of Mahatma, Indira and Rajeev are actually JUSTIFIABLE events as the CONSEQUENCE of their DEED. So, they do not have the right to be called as Martyrs. 

That is the basis of the claim that, "Congress Always Plays the Emotional Card."

But, they forget, that EMOTION doe not flow and wet in a vacuum. It needs those feel it. It operates if there are real people involved. 

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that a real human being called Godse killed a real Mahatma? 

No. So, there is bound to be a play of emotion who thinks the killing was the MOST heinous attempt of Violence over the APOSTLE of Non-Violence. 

Clearly, Violent force has no human emotion to deal with as it operated against the fundamentals of Humanity, for me it is, Natural Continuity of LIFE. 

But the killer and his growing supporters has many JUSTIFICATIONS too. Because, they killed or they want to kill more. :)  

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that two real human beings deployed to Guard the PM of INDIA killed a real PM i.e. Indira? 

No, so there is bound to be a surge of emotion among those who believes in Constitution rather than Religious ANARCHY. Because it is a democracy, we could test the emotional quotient time and time again. A nationalist is supposed to be emotional about the UNITY & Integrity of its nation and that is natural. 

But, the Violent force could not understand what is important; an emotion of a NATION or the emotion few hundred Terrorists hiding behind RELIGION? They have a narrow definition of EMOTIONAL bond; for them NATION emerges from RELIGION. India has too many RELIGIONS to practice that; here INDIA as a NATION embraces tens of RELIGIONS. 

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that an LTTE teen suicide bomber, a real human being, killed another real Ex-PM i.e. Rajeev? 

These killings of PM or Ex-PM while safeguarding the national mission statement of preserving its unity and integrity at any cost do affects real Nationalists. And it is Emotion. 

If nation ca not EMOTIONALLY detach such EVENETS, how can their near and dear ones who have the KNOWLEDGE of what these FALLEN HEROS have done, and so DESIRE to chart their path; the path of NATIONALISTIC thinking. 

We EMOTIONAL do not call ourselves HINDU NATIONALIST or MUSLIM NATIONALIST; we are NATIONALISTS. WE draw our emotional inspiration from the countless sacrifices since 1857 till today. We know RSS and its affiliates have no SACRIFICE to make to feel emotional about anything. 

So, do not deride this Emotional bond with our motherland, because we believe without emotion there is no life.
