    I meant people of the caliber of those managers. These guys literally stole the thunder from George Bush Sr., and McCain - one a sitting President and the other a seasoned "maverick" politician, sometimes liked by the Democrats!!

    The mob does not and cannot think. Yes majority of people can and many a times are wrong. That is why you have laws and religions to control people. Ours is NOT an Anarchy, but a Democracy. Learn the difference. And no, the courts in US dont work according to whims of the majority of people...

    Plus he is a fan of Duck Dynasty (with an appearance in the forth coming season)!! Who hoooo.... Bobby Jindal has got the chops to run effectively, if he carefully plays the field these next few months. And with a good campaign manager with a caliber of the likes of James Carville or even David...

    Majority can, many a times, be wrong. It is exactly why the framework of constitution cannot be changed unless it is agreed upon by the legislature and the judiciary, finally getting a green light from the President of India. The example of Nanavati case is irrelevant here. Contrary to your...

    1. The Constitution of India. Laws which violate any principle of the constitution will be/are usually struck down by the Supreme Court of India. 2. Secularism did not fall this election. In fact people, for the first time didnt vote based on caste politics, but voted for better governance and...

    No Islamic sect to be declared 'kaafir': Ulama Council

    How much power and influence do they really wield? I mean to change age old entrenched perceptions? Does this mean to include the Ahmedi sect too? If so, then doesn't it go against the 2nd amendment of Constitution of Pakistan?

    India's image hit by crimes against women, U.S & U.N express outrage

    Of course US is one of those countries with high rates of rapes per 100K people. But you also need to realize that the conviction and punishment rates for such horrendous crimes is also high in US. Compare that to the conviction rates in India. The outrage expressed by US and other countries...

    India's image hit by crimes against women, U.S & U.N express outrage

    You people are looking at this in the wrong way. I understand the immediate, kneejerk reaction to defend our country and culture, but you should look at this from a different, more mature perspective. Introspection is the key word here. Nobody is "jealous" of our "success". Btw, what success do...

    Maharashtra police to crack whip on those who ‘like’ offensive Facebook posts

    We are not comparing our Constitutional rights with those of Pakistan's. Leave it out. I agree with JonAsad views in this context. Your source is questionable, you quote a blog!

    You first claim that lust made Ravana abduct Sita. Now you say he was adamant in refusing to give up Sita. What is it? Try again.

    Are you sure lust got Ravana to abduct Sita? Or was it because Laxman cut off his sister, Surpanakha's nose that he came looking for revenge? Ravana got Lanka from his brother, who in turn got it from their Brahmin father, who earned it as a dakshina! Indian history is replete with brothers...

    It is precisely for people like you and opinions like yours why Freedom of Speech and Expression, in its entirety and absolutism, is so important! Lest Darwinism comes into effect...

    This I call absolute BullShyte!! Show me where they took this Indian spirituality/morals into consideration when drafting the Constitution? Now you really are treading into troll-land! Btw, Ravana died of limitless lust? How ridiculous con one get? The greatest Shiv Bhakt ever died of lust? I...

    Owaisi's speech was indeed hate mongering. No brainer there. Lol about 'motherfvcker'. BC, MC, CKD, LKB etc all these choice words are cool with you then? They mean much vulgar things than a simple MF'er!! But your telling me "take it or leave it", makes no sense. As an Indian, I do NOT accept...

    Good. I have no idea about law, but I read. So clarify this. It simply means, your right is absolute, unless you break a law. Laws can be passed or repealed based on the whims of a government in power. So what was an offense during the "Emergency" times is no longer an offence. What is an...

    Maharashtra police to crack whip on those who ‘like’ offensive Facebook posts

    Again, wrong interpretation of the Constitutional rights. Read and understand what those rights are. Your right to freedom of speech & expression is absolute, unless you break a law. Even there, interpretation of "reasonable restriction" is up for debate and will be decided upon merit of each...

    Read it again. It pertains that these rights shall not interfere with the country's ability to pass laws or enforce existing laws. Nowhere does it say that the Rights are limited in nature. This is all law gobbledygook, you need to understand the language of the lawyers to really interpret what...

    Gun rights in US are enshrined in their constitution. 2nd Amendment, fyi. Indian Constitution has no such gun rights, but Article 19 clearly states what rights, as citizens of Republic of India, we all have. And that is what we, here, are defending.
