One example: In Central public schools (KVs and other universities recieving grants..... Do you guys know there are quotas for almost all kinds of poverty stricken/children of defence personnel (martyred or injured)/ extraordinary meritorious from backward classes etc? All these quotas are a...
Even I do. But not because she is not working/ Lax or anything. Tell me frankly.... you really expect the 60 years rot to go away that easily?
PS: Will post the links when I get home. At office now... so posting from mobile
I have come across many right wingers (let alone intellectuals) who go on and on about how impotent Irani's tenure has been and how lacklustre she is been.... But tell me one thing, how can she change a 60 years old communist/ pseudo-secular legacy in 1 year? Even with no sup[port from any...
@Echo_419 @Darmashkian Guys I am really impressed by your writings... infact aklways had been ever since I started posting on this thread.
Nice to know you guys are involved with some RW publications. We need more and more of you guys.....
For every Arundhati Roy or Teesta Setalvad or that...

Tell me one thing. What exactly is wrong with those posts?
Day and night people post here who is BJP supporter who is Sanghi or who is Hindutvadi.
So if you are a Muslim and we say as that, what is wrong in that?
SO calling a Muslim a Musl;im is also communal? Height of sickularism in India...
Again my point is this.
Arithmetic was not with BJP even in 2014. Imagine a UPA with all the opposition parties united..... BJP would have struggled to cross even 150. So nothing has changed much on the ground. Only thing is the opposition is getting united.
BJP needs a new strategy. It has to...
His name is Abir. I remember at one time I believe he said he is a Bengali Muslim. But there are Bengali Hindus too with that name.
At some other time, his replies were far too left leaning. So yeah... even I am confused. BTW Most bongs are confusing including me :lol:
PS: I find Indian...
Well I am off to dinner will reply to you in detail in sometime.
But 2 quick points...
1) Yes BJP failed miserably in breaking the MGB caste voters. that is my point. BJP's own vote share of Brahmins, Baniyas and EBC were more or less intact.
2) Look at it this way. Muslims (18%), Yadavs...
Did you not read my reply earlier?
Ok. So Again I will simplify it to you.
1) In 2014, it was Modi's election. He got approx. 35% votes in Bihar. You see.... a simple maths of JDU + Cong + RJD was close to 50 %. No rocket science. Now in 2015, Modi was not the candidate. So all the floating...
Well jokes aside, it is really mind boggling that Indians are so naive they still vote for a party because of which we are still a third world shithole !!!!
NDA l;ost 5 % vote share "COMPARED TO 2014"!!!
This is an important point everybody is missing out. Traditionally, BJP's hardcore VS + other small parties equals approx. 30% in Bihar.
In 2014, it was National Election and Modi was the PM candidate. Here, it was Nitish vs BJP (Modi was the...
I will give you a short and simple answer.
He is overrated.
No matter what, Modi was destined to win in 2014. And in Bihar, BJP was always behind if you go by the core vote share of each parties. It was a no contest to begin with (30% odd of BJP vs 50% odd of MGB). But it was to some extent...
Apart from all the negatives of Bihar elections, let us now look at the positive narratives...
1) Hope Modi and Shah has realised now that BJP cannot ride the 2014 Modi wave forever. they need to find and promote local leaders like Raman Singh or Vasundhara Raje.... This will take years but...
