Tavleen Singh,Indian express columnist

Mrs.Tavleen singh wrote a column in The Indian express exhorting the real leadership of Mr.Manmohan singh and criticizing Mr.Advani for lack of leadership. I am a great admirer of Mrs.Tavleen Singh and have been reading her columns for more than 15 years. She writes columns with lots of common sense, after hard work and great reporting. This column is totally disappointing and She could have done better,I mean much better.
In her zeal to promote Mr.Manmohan Singh, she sold herself short. She is worried that these MPs who showed the bundles of money that they say was received as bribe disgraced the "temple of democracy"-that is Lok Sabha.It is not these MPs that digraced the democracy,but it is the Congress party and its new ally that disgraced India. Let us not close our eyes and think that all the world is blind. She writes that one of the MPs took bribe before.What that has to do with what happened now.May be he did and that is why these leaders came with bundle of money to bribe him as he is easy to bribe.May be he is a changed man and wanted to expose these bribers! what about the other 2MPs? She says that that money did not look like one crore? Is it Ok if that bribe was few lakhs ,not one crore? She says that "the Video evidence was not conclusive.Let CNN-IBN show it ,and let people decide it. She was moved to tears when Mr.Singh said that he did not have drinking water supply,no electricity,hospital or roads. After Mr.Rahul Gandhi's great Grand father,grand mother and father's rule,that is about 40 yrs of congress rule, there are lots of poor Sashikalas in India that did not have drinking water,electricity,hospital and roads. Everybody,in India and all over the world, knows who is real leader, and who is runnimg the country from behind the curtain.Let us not try to fool the world. Indian express could have done a favour by not publishing that column.

PRIYA HAJI

I received the Motivation Show programme that would be held in Chicago in Sep . I was reading about different programmes and speakers. There I found an Indian name-PRIYA HAJI. I rarely see Indian names in this type of events.I was curious and googled her name .What an Impressive person she is . She is the daughter of Indian Immigrants.She helped her father start a free health clinic when she was a teenager in Texas.Then she founded "Free at last" ,a non profit organization that helps addicts and ex-convicts.Then she went to business school in California,travelled in developing countries, and started with another Indian " World of Good" to create a market for art objects these women create. She is 38 . I am sure that she would do great and wonderful things for humanity.

Europen Angels and Serbian devils

Slovania did not start breaking up of Yugoslavakia,Croats did not collaborate with Germans and kill thousands and thousands of Serbs,Croats did not try to push Serbians out of theirpart of the country, they did not kill any Serbians Bosniadid not declare itself independent,Bosnia can declare the way it likes, But Bosnian serbs should not be an independent country or unite with Serbia, Foreign mercenaries did not join the fight in Bosnia, Bosnian Muslims did not commit any atrocities,Serbians some how landed in angelic Europe where there was no world war 1, No world war 2,France,Portugal,spain,Belgium and UK did not occupy African and Asian,latin American countries and did not ill treat the locals.Germany did not do any harm to anybody,never and ever.Somehow serbians fell from nowhere into this Holy land,Europe.

U.S .GOVT Brain stroming ON Afghanistan

The U.S government summoned top Afghanistan experts to brainstorm on how to win in Afghanistan. Barnett Rubin ,New York University scholar ,pointed out that the problem is in neighbouring Pakistan where Taliban and Al Queda commanders lurk.Professor Larry Goodson of Army War College said that the British never won.the Russians never won. Mr Rubin is right and Mr.Goodson's defeatist mentality is not much of a help.British and Russians did not win.So what? America could win and hope it will.Otherwise it would be disatrous for American and Western security, India and mainly and most importantly to people of Afghanistan. US government and its allies should repeat what they told to Pakistan after 9/11 that either Pakistan is with us or with Taliban. No playing games and fooling around.It is that simple.

Indian Embassy Attack in Kabul

Kartik Rao-shirtless,towel on one shoulder,sad looking,weeping more in his heart than shows- Amulya ,his sister weeping, holding his mom Malathi on the cover page of India Abroad broke my heart. Kartik performed last rites for his father ,Venkata Rao Vadapalli, in
New Delhi with dignity.Venkat Rao was assassinatedduring suicide attack on Indian Embassy in Kabul by Taliban and other Muslim extremists with the help of ISI,Pakistani Intelligence Agency. If somebody thinksthat Pakistan is not involved in this attack,they are living in a fools paradise.India lost an able diplomat,more than that, Kartik and Amulya lost their loving father and Malathi ,her husband. Their lives turned upside down. Kartik and Amulya must have been looking forward so much for a beautiful life with help,guidance of their father. He is not there anymore to be a part of their lives as they grow up. Hope that they would grow up as a wonderful and successful human beings with the help and guidance of their mother and other well wishers.
What would India do to track down those responsible for this assassination Probably nothing. What did it do after Chattisinghpora,J&K, J&K Assemblyattack, Indian Parliament attack,American Culture Centre in Kolkata,Kaluchak-J&k, Twin blasts- Mumbai,Akshardhan temple attack,makeshift Ram temple-Ayodhya,Jaunpurtrain explosion,Blasts in New Delhi, Attack on the Indian Institute of sciences,Bangalore serialblasts in varanasi,Mumbai train blasts.Indian officials go through motions, catch some low level criminals and move on. Even if they getone or two main criminals,then comes vote bank politics in to effect from politicians.There is no value for the loss of Indian lives. Chalte hai and chalte hai ( Life goes on ) attitude takes over. After 9/11 in America, how many attacks happened in America. NONE. WHY? America changed,changed from Cabinet departments to local police stations. Every American feels the changes in their daily lives from travel,banking and immigration. When it comes to American lives, there is unanimity among all politicians on macrolevel. But not in India. Politicians do nor care. They care about their kith and kin,their positions, power. Why are these attacks repeating again and again?Pakistan caught lots of criminals and deported to America. How come India could not get even one main criminal responsible for Mumbai blasts?
