An Open Letter to Indian MP Meenakshi Lekhi

Wow Ms Lekhi, your statement on the director/producer of the documentary ‘India’s Daughter’ Leslee Udwin “Couldn’t she find a rapist in London that she had to travel all way to India?” is indeed something out of the world. Never knew there was an Indian Rapist and a British Rapist. Do you think even the Rape Victims should be classified with a nationality? Or is your problem … Continue reading An Open Letter to Indian MP Meenakshi Lekhi

How can AAP win? Clearing the political disbelief

All major parties in India roll their eyes in political disbelief because it should not have happened.

When the Common Man Wins the Delhi Elections

When I started writing this the question came to me‘who is the common man’ and then the RK Lakshman’s character came to my mind. He is old but today after AAP sweeps the Delhi election I also saw a younger common man standing next to the older one and joining hands they say “After so many years finally we have a victory that can bring us the change”. … Continue reading When the Common Man Wins the Delhi Elections

Indian Election 2014 – My Thoughts

The most important aspect of any battle, sometimes even more important than winning is the ability to accept defeat…. The 2014 Indian Election is no different from any other battle… The BJP does not give a better alternative than congress when it comes to corruption, at least from its records…. And probably for a majority of Indian voters, corruption was not the issue, and Narendra Modi always … Continue reading Indian Election 2014 – My Thoughts

Politics beyond Baba Bashing and the inevitable Labyrinth

We all accept that Rahul Baba’s interview was a total disaster…. Not just for the common viewer but also for people in congress who saw how unclear, naive and unprepared their proposed leader is… With his anomaly, strangeness, mahabharat ki arjun, RJD, JMM, AAP and many other comments running all over the internet.. it was a very tough and sad show to watch… Probably there … Continue reading Politics beyond Baba Bashing and the inevitable Labyrinth
