"Forced to hang my head in shame": Former Navy chief writes open letter to President Mukherjee, PM M

[cool_not]

Sad to see just a handful of indian members defending the freedom of expression and right to do whatever one pleases without being diagnosed with being a sickular/pakistani/anti-indian.

After all i told in my earlier posts that india seems to have changed...............

I have never seen India better than what we have today....we were equally tolerant/intolerant, equally divisive and equally fool all the time.

So why shall some people malign India and portray a negative image of us in the world at time when we are looking with optimism viz a viz our economy.

Just wondering if some trespasses are more excusable than others. A (albeit very humanly) hypocritical stand though. In short, your view does not become the sole Right one. Those who disagree don't become 'cretins' and 'rabid dogs' and 'packs'. We are still Indians.

Let me illustrate this - he-man has posted this thread. Has anyone attacked him?
Ans: Nope. The views of the Admiral is being debated here. If that is not acceptable, there will be no room for a debate. Which is what the intellectual space was in this country for the past 60 years.

Bottomline: Respond without calling people names that you would not like being called yourself.

Bottomline. Match my record before deigning to instruct me on how I should deport myself.

Nobody called the Admiral pakistani. Being called a liberal is not a cuss word either. Let's be mature about this.

This is the 'rabid pack' for the benefit of the non Indians.

Members of the 'rabid pack' headed by...
The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi

@Joe Shearer
Sir afaik a TTA is not supposed to mark a post -ve or +ve in the member's club.

@levina @Rain Man @scorpionx
Don't miss this thread.

To an extent media is responsible for showing India in poor light. Thanks to them, now India is known more for the number women violated, and not anymore for the Taj mahal.
Albeit,when it comes to religious intolerance I believe there's no smoke without fire.

Your posts are mired in prejudice, and you have the bare-faced audacity to talk about introspection?



What, no introspection? Just the same old prejudice about others' suspected prejudices? Curious, isn't it? And the smokescreen of these prejudices being subject to questioning even if he was a BJP member is so painfully transparent as to be embarrassing. We all know he is not a BJP member. Why invoke that famous rock-ribbed integrity when it is so patently a figment of our collective suspension of disbelief?

Glad to see you are responding better. Only the first sentence was a direct personal attack. The rest was rather good.

Introspection is always welcome. His views are welcome, yours, mine.

Oh? Given up the aboriginal persona? Rather brief, wasn't it?

Aboriginal Persona Givenup????

Sorry I have not converted to desert faith for your disappointment.

I love to see persons like you desperately hanging cogs of last remains of Imperialist Mindsets, which are waiting for their long awaited burial.

Sorry, could not decipher this one-liner. I got the meaning. Not the essence. A number of explanations come to mind. Confusing.

BJP party has won the elections and that's why Prime Minister is Narendra Modi and he is Prime Minister of the Indian Republic.

can you relate a personal experience ?

I work with muslims, I also employ muslims (and other ethnic minorities)

I have a good idea of what's going on in the hinterland and in the valley, the media is greatly exaggerating and pushing this false "growing intolerance" narrative.

it's complete bull.

Dude,i have been here for far too long to understand what means what.
Lets not kid ourselves here.

This is just hindutva speaking through majority here.Its good for hindus no doubt but not good for india.U may try to justify this but the facts on ground say otherwise.

This is not work of BJP but definitely of the greater sangh parivaar and everyone knows about this,,,its no secret.

So what is bad for Hindus is good for India??????
glad you admitted.

 

[Sid N]

If i may as an outsider i think India under Modi is going the exact same route Pakistan went under Zia and of which we are still bearing the brunt of rationalization of our society.

This is my personal opinion. Feel free to disagree.

There are many differences but hardline hindutva is very different from wahabbism

Trust me on this, I don't need your certificates.

What i pointed out, that you so pointedly omitted to notice, is that you have no introspection worth the name. Only your prejudices, and your insinuations. The rest is a veneer. And do not sit in judgement on my posts; you are amusing at best, and impressive perhaps only to your own coterie, but to none other.

I work with 4 muslim co workers(technicians) in a medical college and let me tell u all of them feel that something is off.And they are not wrong.

This divide was always there,,its just after 2014 that people are openly coming out.
