Have a break, have a Chit Chat - Page 18

Let me break a news to you. Not just Kashmir, Muslims in other parts of India are becoming increasingly conservative and radicalised. Bengali Muslims earlier were mostly indistinguishable from Bengali Hindus except for a few conservative families in Kolkata. They had same dress, same language. Now skull caps, beards, short pajamas, burqas have become the norm. Every day there is an Islamic religious meeting somewhere or the other with aggressive speeches. Every few days there is some kind of rioting by them. There is a sudden spurt in Muslim population in Assam and West Bengal in the last few years, most probably from across the border. The problem is not Kashmir, problem is Muslims themselves and the various political parties which are choosing to ignore their transformation to radicalism in the name of secularism.

Somewhere down the line , Govt has erred majorly in governance as well. Situation in WB is because Mamta is ignoring it for her vote-bank . The silence of PM when people are killed by vigilantes doesn't help the matter.

There is no political solution for Kashmir , which is why it becomes essential for any Govt. to be more proactive there.

its all relative.😛 Would any other govt have shown more spine? I dont think so. As for Gaikwad, he wont be pulling this stunt anytime soon. The previous govts would not even have convicted criminals in jail. They had the likes of Spectrum Raja, Chor Lalu get out in quick time, and yet you are calling out this govt for making a public example out of this guy which no other govt did?

i also dont agree with your comments about policies. This govt had the guts to go for demonetisation which imo was a much-needed measure. They now have data on all the scum-bags who hid taxes.

Ditto for policies with regards to WB, Kashmir. The previous govt left everything in a mess- foreign policy, home security, finances. And then, so much of the sh** is ingrained in Indians. Imagine a PM of a country and a CM of a state like UP having to make cleanliness, ban on open defecation an issue. The country was left to the dogs and it'll take a while to clean it up of the sleazebag oily chiddu/ tharoor types who talk smart but are full of it.

and just to be totally disagreeable😆, i also dont find anything wrong with the cultural tone being set by the govt. Issues like these give us a sense of identity and help drive up patriotic/ nationalitsic fervor.😊

Such cases have been happening earlier too...the Govt's response was nothing exceptional or different. This guy's posters are all over Maha State and he is more popular now Your ministers with their response on this has shown enough how much spine they really had.

^^ Charmin': disagree with you across the board.😊

first, Modi does not have the Rajya Sabha. Yet. It will take a couple of years before the UP win is fully reflected in the numbers because of the way members are staggered. Even then, it wont be a majority.

second, what's wrong with Yogi? Dont like his military style crewcut or his fashion colors? 😆He seems to be a good administrator, and UP can start with that. He is talking about safety for women and doing something about it. That alone would more than make up for all the stuff the sickulars can throw against him.

third, demonetisation has been a success. You have all that money come back into the system. Earlier, it was lying dormant. Lowers interest rates that can fuel investment. And some of it will be used to track the scumbags who hoarded black money. It will widen the tax net from the couple of percent we have now to more. People are now on notice that they can try to hide, but cant run from the tax man.

fourth, the govt allowed the Gaikwad thing to stretch out for quite some time. Earlier we have had politicians thrash up people and the news would die out after a day or two. Not this time. Gaikwad ka mooh kala hua hai. 😆 Makes no sense to now put him on a permanent ban. Voters will/ should kick him out next time if this episode is important to them. If they are too stupid to do so, dont blame Modi for it.

China/ Pak etc- nothing India would have done would have helped ease relations with them, short of handing them a victory. These states dont care about right/ wrong, morality. The strikes at least assuage our sense of justice and puts them on notice. Along the same lines, throwing out the idea of doing away with no first-strike when it comes to nukes changes things. Puts some teeth into ourdefense posture, balls that the previous govt did not have. 😊

Yes, I have problems with Yogi and even with Nitish Kumar. You don't run a state in prohibition and I can bet well that nothing in UP will change..ever, thats the sad truth.

The Kulbhushan news is Pakistan's way of saying FU to us.

Modi in his need to be the "Only one" has made many of his ministers redundant. Rajnath has been pretty much a failure - J&K, N-E and what not. Jaitley- let me know one person in financial chambers who is happy with him. Sushma- Able but is reduced to sorting out work that should be done by Embassies .

But then we can always agree to disagree, for me, Modi is wasting a golden opportunity .
