Personally, I feel we have to accept that such appalling attitudes are still prevalent in sub continental cultures, which remain quasi feudal and patriarchal in many ways, instead of getting all defensive about it. In my view, The only reason this problem appears more acute in India is down to...

True. In my experience, it's sadly women themselves who perpetuate such misogynist attitudes (as observed among well educated affluent female members of my Punjabi wife's family)

The lost girls: Thousands of ‘missing’ girls revealed by analysis of UK’s 2011 census results The natural ratio of boys to girls at birth is 1.05, meaning that there are about 105 boys born for every 100 girls – the small balance in favour of boys is seen as nature’s way of counteracting the...

In my view, the Khalistani issue is irrelevant here. I regard this revelation as further evidence, if any was needed, of the Nehru clan's penchant for prioritising narrow party political interests over the nation and their apparent willingness to co opt security agencies of unfriendly nations in...

Aam aadmi stings not sharp enough for babus NEW DELHI: The aam aadmi's sting seems wasted on corrupt babus-so far. While about 30 people have acted on the chief minister's advice to secretly record evidence of corruption, the government's Anti-Corruption Bureau says most of these recordings are...

Cameron orders probe into SAS-Op Bluestar link Prime Minister David Cameron Monday night ordered an inquiry after Sikh groups reacted with fury over newly released documents revealing that the British elite force, SAS, had advised India on flushing out Sikh militants months before Operation...

AAP is a pro poor party which believes in making everybody in the country equally poor..

Meanwhile, the Delhi law minister appears to have the right credentials for the job.And the AAP's favourite poster child PB seems incapable of staying out of the news (all for the wrong reasons obviously) Somnath Bharti was indicted for 'tampering with proof' NEW DELHI: Delhi law minister...

There is already a process in place to address these issues.All that is required of the goverment are steps to improve efficiency, prevent fraud and promote deterrence.But AK is hell bent on reinventing the wheel because the existing system doesn't suit his ideological tastes.

Its an op piece from the Guardian.What else do you expect. They'll be offering column inches to proclaimed terrorists next..Oh wait, they've done it already... Moazzam Begg | The Guardian

@Indischer AK's plan is localism through Mohalla sabhas and not through civic bodies elected by majority mandate. He sees very little role for elected representatives beyond implementing the decisions of these sabhas.You are making the same mistake that stupid anchor in the NDTV debate was...

This is very good news!!!! Hopefully being in power will soon turn them from 'Aam' to 'Khaas' and the transition will occur well in advance of the general elections. Swelling of the pseudo secular ranks by the likes of AAP is bound to work in the favour of the BJP as AK is certain to siphon off...

I find the article a bit OOT but agree with the general thrust of it. In my opinion, there is no doubt that AK and AAP are anti national but may be not exactly for the reasons the writer identifies. I do not believe AK's anti national sentiments are motivated by a hate for India or its people...

@ Indisher, 'Panchayati raaj' in my opinion represents a more devolved 'top down' form of government which is still based on representative democratic principles as opposed to AAP's 'jan sabhas' where power flows from the bottom to the top. The trouble with the latter system is that it is...

AK's aim is not to put the existing system right but to further undermine public confidence in it through acts of ommission and commission. The party would simultaneously seek to widen its outreach and appeal through populist measures that would have the added benefit of exacerbating existing...

Thanks bro. I am appalled at the whole media managed hype around this turd which is not only misleading the public but also abetting forces that are deeply hostile to the Indian state. I will redraft the OP and send it to FP but I doubt it would be published- print meeja seems to be full of...

His objection to forming the government was ideological..I applaud his conviction but that does not make AAP's brand of politics good for the country

Don't be swayed by their cynical populism. These guys are exploiting popular discontent to pursue an ideological wet dream which will cause enduring damage to India's sovereign interests. I have detailed my reasoning for this in a separate thread. Their ideology does not support the existence...

These guys are not socialists..they are far far worse
