Earth ! Fire ! Wind ! Water ! ..........and Heart ??! Wtf does the power of heart do anyway ?

Its true. However, i feel indira's suppressive rule was an absolute necessity at that time. Nehru sought to introduce a full fledged democracy in a nation totally alien to the concept. With the availability of greater rights and voice, splinter groups and seccessionists started grouping...

Was APJ even involved in the nuclear weapons programme ? I think he has only dealt with ISRO and Indian missile programme.

He is considered as the 'greatest Indian' alive today. Also, the source of inspiration for a billion strong nation. Apparently, it looks like a private visit. So, relax.

@ don Jaguar, Don't you think you're over-reacting a bit ?

PIA used to be the standard for everyone else to follow --in south Asia at one point in our history. How the mighty have fallen.

Uh oh.......:lol:

Meaning, no more heavy industry infra development in one southern state. Guess which ?

Agreed, but then why did your regional party agree to adopt Hindi within 15 years while framing the constitution ? By all means, revive the language. We can continue the discussion then :)

But why not improve the CRPF infrastructure and introduce better training programmes instead ? Quick fixes do not last long.

We could adopt the same strategy we adopted to deal with the naga and naxal crisis. But it would mean unacceptable bloodshed at this time and age.

Using the armed forces to quell internal disturbances will ruin it and affect their preparedness against external threats. Instead of blaming the IAF, home ministry must see this as an opportunity to improve the police infrastructure. Refurbishing CRPF copters, acquiring more air...

Although, how many people actually spoke or understood Sanskrit ? The popular form of communication used to be 'Hindustani'.

It is, actually. It was primarily a party of secessionists. They were also one of the main opponents to the 15 year deadline ( as agreed while framing the constitution ) of making Hindi the official language of communication.

The state has always been a very intriguing case for everyone studying Indian history. Their achievement requires even greater praise considering--the state was among the most racist and discriminatory at one point of time. To switch from one extreme to another requires extraordinary...

Well, the Tamil DMK party was founded to enable a transition into an independent Tamil nation. But this was eventually dropped permanently in the backdrop of '62 war ( Chinese aggression ). In way we have to thank the Chinese for their contribution to sustaining our national integrity. '62...

That is already in existence. Although not with a lot of enthusiasm. Members of the scheduled caste tends to get sidelined when applying for jobs or privileges despite their economic status. The primary reason for introducing reservation was to combat the ill-effects of social prejudice...
