They don't deserve to be leaders!

India & Indian leaders! What a silly row over Dr. Ambedkar's caricature. And if that's not enough we have Mamata Banerjee performing histrionics.
Imagine a life without interesting cartoons or caricatures? Imagine watching TV shows that would address topics not satisfying the queries of the audience?
I think what we require now is something different! Instead of eliminating the controversial caricature from the NCERT book or punishing the Kolkatta students for daring to ask questions, we should remove the concerned leaders from the posts they hold. It is they who are violating the norms of democracy.

Long Live SRK. Long Live Courage

My salute to you Shahrukh Khan! You have shown the way. It was not a battle of strength. It was a battle of Right and Wrong. And in spite of tremendous pressure such as -(1) the money incurred in making the film, (2) gambling with the feelings and hard work of everyone associated with the film, you stood and faced the 'bull-ism' of the highest order. The people of India are going to remember you for this.

There is one thing I am going to say, which has been troubling me for the past one month or so. I regret that Mangeshkar Sisters chose to keep quiet on the fanaticism of Bal Thackeray i.e. Shiv Sena. Even when he made disturbing remarks on Sachin Tendulkar-the great Indian Player! Lata Mangeshkar's voice would have sounded sweeter than even the nightingale, if she had checked Bal Thackeray that time. After all she is known to be fond of Sachin Tendulkar. I am sure Bal Thackeray would not have the guts to speak or stand against the great legend. Not just Mumbai, but the entire India and the world would have come down heavily on him then.
