When we vote for Modi, we *Can* say that we are voting for 24 * 7 power and good administration and bcs there is no alternative. But we are *also* voting for state led riots.. in Rajiv Gandhi's case in particular, what he did even before he came to power was the exact reason that he should not have been voted to power. But I understand what you are saying... totally. the cult of the personality is a powerful one. <br /><br />for my own sake, will also keep this link here: <br />http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/there-are-no-goodbyes/article5594303.eceHow do we knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997565750098001380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628961.post-39840783969272290402014-01-05T09:11:21.046+05:302014-01-05T09:11:21.046+05:30Nice post.

In India, dynasty and personality cult reign supreme which aftr 30 years is now being challenged. It's nt necessary dat these voters all supported the riots per se.<br /><br />A basic characteristic of being Indian is that we tend to forget the past and look ahead to a brighter future. That's in our genes. Firstly the powerful and mighty get away from process of law when incidents occur. Secondly when after gruelling years and fights by victims the law again tries to catch up, public tends to forget and go on with survival. Dat's why human rights are abused at the drop of a hat here. Yet U hit the nail on the head when U say that the victim cannot forget. For the victim the fight is eternal. <br /><br />The contrast is what makes India tick. We are victims. Yet we want to look ahead to a better future. <br /><br />Amrita Sabathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215997139551830844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628961.post-10227977332661135782014-01-01T02:19:38.585+05:302014-01-01T02:19:38.585+05:30Hi GB: thanks so much! heres wishing you and your ...Hi GB: thanks so much! heres wishing you and your loved ones a very happy new year too! <br />How do we knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997565750098001380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13628961.post-45503118439296240512013-12-31T18:50:45.044+05:302013-12-31T18:50:45.044+05:30Hey HDWK

Maybe we will be ready to forgive once justice has been done.. but as things stand, asking someone to simply forget that something happened.. maybe its way beyond our capacity... <br /><br />Onkar sir: Thank you, and what GB says has merit too... what do you think?

The Brits ruled us for 200 years and left us with Babu mentality and an awestruck attitude on seeing a white skin (mostly). Maybe the generation after us might be free from all this or be less affected by it all.<br /><br />“We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.” ― Rick Warren<br />Gentle Breezenoreply@blogger.com
