But you have option of migrating to Bangladesh. Many do not have that luxury.

Thanks for your offer but I think I'd rather choose the comfort of New York and convenience of Kolkata.

Yeah I also dont want my tax moolah to subsidize the incompetent Air India which is mostly used by middle upper class who argue most against welfare.

I suspect the main reason Air India has survived for so long is because of the opportunities for patronage it afforded the ruling parties of India.it is this misuse of the airline by politicians and bureaucrats that is also in part responsible for its decline.

Upper middle class and indeed anyone who can afford to avoids Air India like the plague. Last time I travelled Air India, I think 5 years back, the passengers had to wait inside the Aircraft for four hours waiting for some "battery" to arrive. Imagine not moving, in an enclosed space, with crying babies, coughing old men and dirty bathrooms for some spare part to arrive!!

Traveling in Air India is nightmare. They should privatize it and not spend more money on it. The domestic one is pretty decent though.

When all of this was going on, the parliament was being disrupted due to rising intolerance

 

[Sky lord]

If he wants to put ‘parivartan’ and ‘vikas’ at the top of the national agenda, then he must begin by appointing a media team in the PMO under a skilled media advisor. With more than 350 hungry 24-hour news channels and more than 300 million Indians with access to the Internet, never has a Prime Minister more desperately needed a full team to deal with the media. And there is not even a press secretary in place.

Yes, I hope the government takes note of this. Daily press briefings are a must.

They have been trying to privatize it for the last 15 years but no deal. Politicians families, senior bureaucrats all use it to subsidize their travel plans. Jobs are doled out to hangers on and cousins. Complete socialist mess. When TATA used to run Air. India it was considered one of the best airlines in the world.

The story of India , Junkets for the political class in the name of the poor.

Kerala x'ian padiri's Op ed in a malayalam daily, criticising Hindu unity & Vellappally's SamathwaMunnettaYatra

ഇതു സമത്വത്തിന്റെ ജനാധിപത്യകഭാഷയല്ല | mangalam.com

@Aminroop @nair @Nair saab @kurup @magudi @Star Wars

some important points for those who dont know Malayalam_ Brothers born for same father can unite but Hindus as they don't inherit same ancestry (only x'ians and muslims have that ) ,even if Hindus claim bhrama is the creator each Hindu castes originated from various parts so they are not brothers of faith ,There's nothing which unites Hindus in their Civilization. Idea f Brotherhood isn't Hindu. Because they don't believe in ONE GOD ,"....Hindu unity ain't Hindu, Hindutvavadis urge for 'Hindu unity' as they don't know the gist of Hinduism.Hindutvavadis copies unity idea from church ...Hindu unity is idea of power hungry people ...Ezhavas are not hindus ,then the usual bhraminsam rants

Will the filthy secular govt of kerala take action against this padiri ?

The recent developements in Kerala .... especially increasing voteshare of BJP ..... the idea of Haindava Aikyam among some caste leadership and more prelavent among ordinary Hindus irrespective of caste differences ..... the recent formation of BDJP , etc has made many secular people , both political and religious , very nervous .

These articles are the after effects of such incidents ...... expect more such articles and TV debates in the coming days .

Which hospital and college are these?

You seem rather oblivious to West Bengal-

Bengal to set up medical college, 500-bed hospital for minorities | TwoCircles.net

Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government has decided to set up a medical college and a 500-bed hospital exclusively for minorities – majority of whom are poor thus having little access to medical facilities. Both institutions will come up in South 24-Parganas – a minority concentration district adjacent to the state capital Kolkata.

Wow, this is a new low! Why communalize education and healthcare? Aren't there poor students and poor patients among other religions?

Where does this appeasement stop? Of course, that's a rhetorical question. It does stop when "Muslims decide again that they couldn't co-exist with Hindus in a Hindu-majority country and effect another partition of India"!

But then, it is unfair to target Muslims for that since this unabashed minority appeasement purely for vote-bank politics is being done by none other than Hindus themselves.

Then you have no idea what an AI flight to ME is like. You're lucky if you reach the destination(on an already delayed flight), as in you might have booked a ticket to Trivandrum but there's no guarantee you will land there. Lol

That's exactly what happened from 1918 to 1947 and ended up in Partition of India- the whole appeasement theory is not new- It seems heading towards a repeat- Key ingredients are-

Keep Muslim society backward and hostage to Fundamental thinking-
Appease them in every possible way-
Ignore their wrongdoings and try to cover them up-
Provide them with undue privileges-

What happens after this-

Muslims complain of being kept backward and find a progressive socialist mindset leader like Jinnah-
Complain of intolerance and them being sidelined in society-
Think they have never done any wrong and have always been wronged-
Privileges provided to them aren't enough and they need a separate country to fulfill their needs-

Now I have been ignoring the communists progressive agenda of creating a rift between Hinduism itself in order to attain proper anarchy and get to the center stage of power- add that and you have all the right ingredients-

I don't want to derail this thread but I have to tell you this real life story. Around 3 years back I took an Emirates flight from the US to India with a layover of a around 5 days in Dubai. US to Dubai - I asked for extra leg room seat - no problem, beautiful hostesses, courteous service, great food - I got off at Dubai thinking Emirates to be such a great airline. Spent a week in Dubai then caught the Emirates flight to India - I asked for a window seat - they told me to take whatever I was given ( which turned out to be aisle in front of the bathroom), ugly hostess, awful food, seat cover was falling off in some areas. The difference in treatment was amazing and the only reason I can think of is that from US to Dubai they assumed I was American and from Dubai to India they assumed I was Indian!! It would be great if we had a choice and Air India ever becomes a viable option !

How dare you compare Emirates and AI?? Lol
Btw those who travel from Dubai to India rate Emirates very high.
Did you miss the flight stewards? Just curious!

There's been significant international coverage of chennai floods. Came up in the Canada news in the evening yet again.

Terrorist attacks naturally attract more media attention because it is mass-scale murder by other human beings rather than a natural phenomenon as the cause (which we still perceive to be out of our control for the most part).

Not true for this part of the world.
