This seems to be political violence. You victimized Hindus, how?

Call it a tradition if not superstition. There should be something interesting to do in a year. To fast for a day in a year is OK. And if an independent women does it, I am fine. It does not alter lifestyle or life drastically. But yes, all the women who do it because they have to, they should...

Or make the husband do karva chauth as well. Just saying, a better idea.

This is the sub-continent. For people of IK's stature personal is political. There are multiple newspapers quoting his advisors who mentioned her political ambitions as the reason for breakup. The guy I quoted was blaming IK. Given your respect for the couple's privacy, are you going to run...

I guess we should just take it at face value as something written in Moody's review. That is why my first doubt was whether they do such analysis about US's wars and internal politics like Obamacare as well. @mb444 answered in the affirmative. So this is not something out of the blue for a...

He was eager to shift the blame to the other guy(whose job is completely different) for his non-performance(or perception of non-performance). We should not blame Jaitley entirely for that though. People say earlier FMs successfully influenced RBI governors for rate cuts. So Jaitley might just...

Spoke my mind. :tup:

Segregation is a different problem. The fact is that Hindus do not insist and did not try to convert Muslims and Christians to Hinduism wholesale. Just look at India's demographics.

I disagree. Manmohan Singh brought such a bad name to technocrats, that people think a technocrat = NOT A POLITICIAN. :hitwall: Lacking a mass appeal at start is natural because they spend time to become a respectable technocrat and do not have time to build the mass appeal. And if you are...

How do you analyze credibility? Is it not a fact that today a disproportionate amount of debate and discourse time in India is wasted on communal issues(regardless of who is to be blamed)? So there is a message in the piece. Take it or leave it. Media sensationalizes..., everything! Again the...

But your tweet says: There is a disclaimer so Moody's disowned it. I was saying that is not true. Disclaimers are there only to say 'don't see this report and blindly make investment decisions. There are other factors involved'.

No. I guess their diplomats were just lazy or incompetent. Otherwise the only other country that lost was Laos. They couldn't be in top 5 among 7 countries. Maleeha Lodhi has her first defeat at the UN.

Err... they have the common sense to not implement such stupid agendas.

That is an analysis piece. Not a ratings report. Analysts are typically young. Even the big guys who write articles have ghost-analysis(which includes number crunching as well as donkey work of searching political and welfare indicators) done by some graduate. If Moody's publishes it, they are...

You meant Congress. Not hindus.

All such ratings report carry(or are supposed to carry) such disclaimers. And the author being a BA Econ grad is not enough to refute it. @mb444 Good to know. But here the comparison is probably not fair. The statements made by BJP are similar to what is made by Republicans with regards to gun...

When was the last time a leftist attacked a Hindu for being Hindu?

In his time, Sachin did his job well. Rarely there was another batsman sticking on the other end to assure a win. There was a time when the Indian team won only if Sachin scored. In those times, it was better to leave the team at a respectable score than rushing to the pavillion quickly.

Does Moody's also comment on Syria war/Obamacare's popularity as a factor in US's rating?

Inflation is already under control. Now GDP growth should be focussed on. Improving infrastructure will be a component in that. Investments in areas like mobile manufacturing are picking up. Lets hope they will contribute to industrial output by next fiscal. Otherwise things are not great in...
