India’s move reflects its frustration with President Yameen who, while inching closer to China, is demolishing New Delhi’s presence in Maldives.
New Delhi: As the relationship...
AAP government which staged a protest at the Lt Governor's office, pressing for a number of demands, says officers were not paying any heed to its needs.
The bankruptcy code has broken new ground by lifting homebuyers left without apartments by debt-stressed builders to the status of financial creditors.
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.
Indira Gandhi did not take very long after establishing her own (Indira) Congress to snatch away from the Maharaja’s of princly-states of Indian subcontinent that agreed to accession on condition of the privy purse, the privy purse; but look, what privileges she ensured for her future off-springs. She had always been surrounded by the snobs that took care of her interest at the cost of the public-interest – they are still active and takes care of her descent.
Let Narendra Mody continue, the common public will be benefitted.
Hope you guys publish this one from me after ‘rejecting’ fairly innocuous letters sent on a variety of subjects. Developed a healthier respect for Pavan Varma for his plainspeak
The Lutyens mob that has set India back decades consists of characters like ManinShankar Aiyar who feel that as Babus who passed the Civil Service Exams they are entitled to exercise superiority over us humble, unwashed ordinary folk! Their skulduggery is laid bare when you look at the part played by ordinary Indians in the progress made in countries like Singapore or.UAE. Quantum leaps have been made by Non-Lutyens Indians in terms of economic power and the professions in the USA, Australia, UK and elsewhere. The Lutyens mob take pleasure in such matters as being able to delay plane departure times so that relatives can catch up. None of us can stand the buggers!
Ashok, U r completely wrong..This English speaking Elitist People owe their existence & importance to Dynastic Nehruvian Socialistic philosophy, which has outlived its existence, the world over! Unfortunately these lazy bums ignored the writing on the wall &forgot to change according to times! Hardly anyone will sympathise with these people..The earlier these good for nothing filth dies, better it is for New India, which denotes True Rural India with local languages & Culture as the sole driving force for New India !
Lutyens’ Delhi and the real India, presumably represented by men like Lalu Prasad, with tufts of hair sticking out of his ears, is a false binary. Not speaking English with the right accent did not stand in the way of Dhirubhai Ambani’s rise. Even at that time someone had posited it as brash Nariman Point vs genteel, old money Ballard Estate. The cleavage is deeper, more fundamental. Today, what some deride as Lootyens Delhi represents a fundamental commitment to a constitutional order that has served India well – although not well enough, but that has to do with economic, not political, orthodoxy – and a basic questioning of the bonds that have helped a very diverse country come much closer to a perfect union. If we must put faces to two different world views, it would be Karan Thapar, Raveesh Kumar standing by his side, and Rajat Sharma, with Sudhir Choudhury next to him. Take your pick.
For every Lalu, there is an Atal Bihari, for every “Luteyan Ashok” there is someone like me. The bottom line is, your guys are a fringe minority. India as a whole can deal with guys like Lalu easier than say, someone culturally alien like Sonia Gandhi..
“Today, what some deride as Lootyens Delhi represents a fundamental commitment to a constitutional order”
FALSE, they represent everything the constitution sets out to erase from India, let’s get a check note shall we?
1) Caste Hegemony = Luteyans/Liberals/Seculars are a gang of rich Upper-Caste kids, not a shining beacon of upward mobility like Ambani.
2) Rule of the Elite = Luteyans are a numerical minority who feel entitled to dictate the culture&beleifs billion+ Indians according to their own warped western sensibilities. Modi was democratically elected twice and yet you elites think you can override Democracy? Who are you people, our “Lords”? Democracy is for the people, not for the Luteyan elites!!
3) English = This is NOT the language of Indians, Indians speak Tamil, Hindi, Marathi etc and yet Luteyans don’t care about non-English media&Culture. By remaining adamantly in English Bubble, Luteyans commited a self goal. The only reason why Hindi isn’t the Sole Official language is because Tamil&Bengali leaders, not because anyone cared about English speaking richie rich. Ideally, English should be phased out of India. Those IT jobs are drying up anyway….

Winds of change i guess.
Lutyen’s Delhi now seems poor and dilapidated, if one compares it to Gurgaon or Noida.
