Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
This comment posted above as a reply proves my point.
This well known // Were you dropped on your head as a child // quote ( done in out & out jesting tone) OFTEN occurs in PG.Wodehouse’s Novels.
In Kolkata ( Calcutta) where Debates were very popular this quote was frequently used by those debating as their opening lines .
@Joy who has neatly stolen it has failed to acknowledge the source. The very important Inverted Commas are ALAS missing :-((
This nation called India which has STOLEN a quote from Upanishads ( Shathyamaeva Jayathae) ALSO has the utmoste disdain & flippant disregard for FACTS ., Truth. Little realizing ” God is in small details ; So is the Devil “.
I am truly GRATEFUL to God for this article of Makarand Paranjpe.
In TRUTH I am scared of modi -gurumurthy-etc etc ……My INSTINCTS have aaalways screamed never to trust modi rss s. gurumurthy .
When Character is lost everything is lost. Money allegedly missing owing to P.Chidambaram etc etc relentlessly hounded by HEARTLESS gurumuthys & various factors involving MY Personal life make me state the following :-
I WANT Only Sri.Rahul Gandhi & Priyanka as Leaders of India.
YESS Indeed. Sri.Rahul Gandhi did GET it right ” Chowkidar Chor Hai “. bhayankar shaithan , haramzaade neechgunday beshak chowkidar chor nikla…
Nothing to do with rafale blah balh… I never said I am into nation building sooperpowerdom…
modi RASCAL LIAR stole my Earned money through his notebandi . Bhagavan ALONE knows what horrendous price labour ignominy I put in to EARN. Nothing free .
And I NEVER got back anything not even a paisa from GODDAMNED modijee & his equally ROTTEN gurumurthy who is now a member of the blighted Reserve bank Of India. gurumuthy flippantly told ” go & SUE RBI..who is stopping…”.
Appearances are hiiighly deceptive.
Despite my adhering to all stipulated rules modi the RASCAL ( I have aaalways HATED him….much much before this heartless scoundrel TYRANT became pm hoo haaa petrified …SCARED….the day I took a look at his photo & LETHAL face on tv my INSTINCTS screamed NEVER to trust him…….
I do NOT want to live in Fear….thus. I prefer Smt.Mamata Banerjee of Kolkata to him. I cannot explain….
Subramanian Swamy alleged Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is ”bipolar”. That NAILED it.
None other than Kaanchi Paramacharya(r) says :-
” Those labelled bipolar do NOT tell LIES. Hence are very DEAR to God…. ..they are beyond paapam & punyam…..this is their last birth….they should be left as they are….NOT tortured , subject to medication ….. it is the psychiatrists who need treatment….”.
I THANK Sri. Makarand Paranjpe for this important article.
I am LEAST bothered about this & that allegedly ”stolen” ….as screamed daily by modi’s bjp.
Apropos ISLAM ……all the multitudinous Sacred Names of Lord Ssiva , MaHaVishnu , Lalitha Sahasranamam , SathaChandi Manthrams , SriRudhram could not impact a wee bit various rotten indoooo hindu scoundrels , RAPISTS , liars that ruined my life …save the much maligned Sri.Dawood Ibrahim ஸ்ரீ-ல-ஸ்ரீ Dawood Ibrahim’s NAME that alone made them tremble in fear……
He is certainly not bad , a terrorist to be ” brought to justice “. It is just the opposite.
If it has to be the clash of family values, then renunciation is celebrated more in Indian Ethos and not entitlement. While Modi’s family is still lower middle class despite him being a CM for 13 years and PM for 5 years, Sonia G is the fourth richest lady in the world according to Huffpost, with Modi’s schemes actually benefiting the poor and empowering them and with a non pliable social media, the contrast of family values will be stark on the face of the electorate.
Sudhir Kumar! You saw the game through! “One only hopes that the meaning and significance of sheer timing of the display of Professor Paranjape ‘s unqualified adulation for the members of the Dynasty will not be lost on the BJP- RSS leadership!”
Yes indeed! It is called hedging the bets. Hedging your bets is a betting strategy which involves placing bets on a different outcome to your original bet to secure a guaranteed profit regardless of the result.
How Priyanka Vadra is going to defend or react her husband Robert Vadra’s malpractices for accumulating enormous amount of wealth during just 10 years of UPA rule, will be curiously seen.
Professor Makarand Paranjape is, indeed, a great Indian intellectual who self- consciously showers the choicest adjectives on Shrimati Priyanka Gandhi on her appointment as the General Secretary of Congress Party!! He does not hide his unbounded enthusiasm for Priyanka Gandhi as it is more than evident as he praises her for her “ level-headedness, practical sense, inner stability, political acumen, and poise.” Professor Paranjape seems quite enamoured of Priyanka Gandhi’s persona :” She has no affectations, but is still able to hold her own with just her presence.What is more, Priyanka commands loyalty. She is also known to have considerable tenacity and persistence, inviting comparisons with the steely determination and fearlessness of her grandmother, Indira Gandhi”!! Moreover, one can’t fail to notice how Professor Makarand Paranjape unambiguously hails the magical charm of the Rahul- Priyanka combine that, according to him, may ( or will??) tilt the scales in the favour of CongressParty in the forthcoming general elections ( 2019) ! One only hopes that the meaning and significance of sheer timing of the display of Professor Paranjape ‘s unqualified adulation for the members of the Dynasty will not be lost on the BJP- RSS leadership!
