To them, she had desecrated the Golden Temple; in the same way that the mission of the IPKF may not have been to actively kill Tamils, but that is how it was viewed by the LTTE.Seshadri Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367107762267474532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647581039313842967.post-25578584534236909172013-11-07T14:59:57.893+05:302013-11-07T14:59:57.893+05:30Thank you!Thank you!Seshadri Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367107762267474532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647581039313842967.post-46715152189493200652013-11-07T14:45:02.347+05:302013-11-07T14:45:02.347+05:30Eye Opening, Truly amazing Sir, will keep looking ...Eye Opening, Truly amazing Sir, will keep looking out for more from your end!!!

Heh, Indira Gandhi probably caused the crisis in the first place by propping up Bhindranwale to embarrass the Badal government. My point was about asserting the right of the state to enter a place of worship in case of a law and order situation, without it being considered "desecration". Too much deference is being given to religious sentiment in public discourse, in my opinion.prasadgchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179696156998026173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647581039313842967.post-86659957799266129022013-11-07T13:15:37.882+05:302013-11-07T13:15:37.882+05:30Hi Ganesh,

Stalin's full name was Josif Vissarinovich Djugashvili. I will correct the text to reflect the same. On 3, I suggest you read Khushwant Singh's "History of the Sikhs, Part 2", where he talks in detail about Operation Bluestar. Mrs. Gandhi and her people royally botched up things. There was no need to do what they did. If they had acted in time earlier, it would never have come to the crisis point where a storming of the temple was necessary.Seshadri Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367107762267474532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647581039313842967.post-14104354423152590062013-11-07T12:30:49.801+05:302013-11-07T12:30:49.801+05:30I only have three minor comments on tangential top...I only have three minor comments on tangential topics you have touched on, since the main argument is self-evident to me.<br /><br />1. I think Hitler's family name was Schiklgruber (not Schikelgruber)<br />2. I thought Stalin's family name was Djugashvili<br />3. I wouldn't call Operation Bluestar a "desecration" of the Golden Temple. If anything, the operation was long delayed. The temple should have been stormed right after DIG AS Atwal was shot by terrorists hiding inside the temple.prasadgchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179696156998026173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647581039313842967.post-68505452729007696672013-11-06T16:18:46.977+05:302013-11-06T16:18:46.977+05:30Thanks, Rahul!

B...A comprehensive analysis with facts and figures. Bravo Sir. A question has been lurking in my mind that despite all these palpable stupidity, in actions and in deeds, be it Rahul Bin etc.., or be it his mother's reign from her extra const-but-actual-PM-back-office, can the cause of such blind sycophantic idolatry be due to the reasons that you give in your conclusion? I hasten to underline that i do voluntarily subscribe to your opinion. At the same time I feel that there are two other specific reasons that make even the veterans like Pranabda, PC, Sibal and the like to self-impose such accept and succumb slavery: one is the fear that any protest-claim of leadership over the Gandhis' risk to cost them their very life if not to settle down at the second fiddle levels - history of the congress party vouches this - and two, that when such revolts gain a collective momentum as a groupuscule fraction money comes into play to buy them and shut their mouth. The latter point of view can only be vouched by the very happenings within congress/UPA when such attempt attempted to sprout their heads - a S. Pawar, known otherwise as a dude who by hook or crook achieves whatever he decides has never kept "his forte" at his every attempt to stubbornly stake his claim over the Gandhis'? Hardly he bowls such a googly so softly he makes himself small - contrary to his character elsewhere - and what should be that force that even subdues his very forte? That can only be the dirty compensation to buy over. Not only he! PC and many others are no exceptions. As long as the personal stinking money power with the Gandhis' be exposed and checked, the Gandhis' at their personal level and the congress-sycophants including the media will only be stooges to them and the congress. Despite all the scams, the loots', the brazen incompetence of UPA and the congress, the constant exposure of all these day in and out on SM, what makes it that the congress is seen still credited with the number of seats that it can win while normally it has to be a sibal (read zero)? It's the dirty money. <br />Napolean Bonaparte (he never had even a normal school education) has said in the preamble when he dictated the French Code-civil (Constitution) "....the choice of the leader of a Government has to be through the peoples' will but the Governance must be through known money of the people. The politics will be successful where the government, the governed and the governors have poly-ethics of triumvir liberty with equality and fraternity....What ruins the very fundamentals of the Nation is the very thought of existence of any money-power, obscure to meet the personal intent other than the triptych values of the Nation…..”. Though he did not say that in an Indian context, but France, the same view and approach has been adopted in letter and spirit (at leat in papers) by Italy. In practice the Italian methods are known. Having a lineage to the same Italy the Mother, the Son and their Holy clan copycat “Italian practical political methods” to the Indian context. <br />Having shared a point of view, i must say that i enjoyed reading your essay and liked every bit of it. Thanks and Bravo again Sir.<br />Rangesh RAAMUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952522571237743675noreply@blogger.com
