Even if you excuse this behavior as being of another life (pre AAP), there is something upsetting about the party this gentleman belongs to behaving the way it does with Africans as evidenced a couple of days ago. The same colour obsession?

You edited the post .

In that case , the problem is in hurry of increasing their members , AAP is giving membership to anybody without having a proper check of their background .

Although checking everybody is impossible atleast the background check of leaders should be done .

Somnath Bharti and Vishwas looks like classic case of nutjobs .

This colour argument has been taken too far in any case. There are some dark S.Indians & some fair ones, the same with the N.Indians but on average, there is no great difference in the colour of the people of UP & MP and most S.Indians. There is unfortunately nothing particular about this guy alone in AAP, they all seem to behave like monkeys. If Kejriwal himself is on dharna in support of his minister's racist behaviour, there is nothing much that can be said about anyone else.

Even then, what's wrong with being dark?

One of the comments in Times of India stated this

'Why would anyone assault African Women? That means they are lower than animals LOL'

That says a lot really.

@Bang Galore The question I want to ask is, Does the problem lie with Politicians, or with the Aam Admi?

It was the colony that incited xenophobic attack on those Ugandan nationals.

It lies clearly with the AAP politicians. The "aam admi" are always filled with biases, that is a given. That is also why we have a constitution to protect everyone & the law to fall back on. As I said, would the AAP ministers be as eager if some people were labelling members of a minority group as terrorists or some such. Would a "raid" then be acceptable?

See, I just learnt that he did a stand up comedy thing. This might have been a case of a bad joke.

Racist? possibly.

I think effigy burning and vandalizing is just going too far.

I don't think that he is innocent as you portray .

The incidents in last few days show that there is something inherently wrong with AAP .

That's what I think.

What he said is politically incorrect and should be replied with humor of our own, not with violence

Will work in an ideal society but not in India .

I applaud your statement. That is the best whitewashing of racism I have ever come across. Its a compliment.
btw - minority group you meant Jains?

Seriously? You read those comments? That's crazy territory.

As far as being dark, it's a cultural obsession. No point in looking at it logically. We just shouldn't have ministers & agents of the state indulging in open racist behaviour.

 

[ranjeet]

Modi / BJP lovers along with Congressies ..........are very quick to critize a newly formed party made by mostly non-politians .............

Beside criticizing other Parties you haven't said what exactly AAP is promising. Don't be a groupie. How can you trust a man who took an Oath to uphold the constitution of India is out there on the street breaking it.

Yup, Jains it is (after all AAP claimed that they have a minority minister - a Jain & now the union cabinet too thinks they are a clear minority), those chaps really look like a terrorist lot.......

As for whitewashing racism, I have long accepted that Indians are among the most racist people on earth. Just don't want the law to follow the lowest common denominator principle,

Sad. But true.

Something to keep in mind when Indians drop the race card on the drop of a hat.

Yush. It's like the Roman empire. Instead I read the mental violence to entertain.

BJP will score impressive LS win in TN’

An opinion poll by a popular Tamil weekly has found that the BJP-led alliance would score impressive win in Tamil Nadu in the coming Lok Sabha elections. A survey held by Junior Vikatan, a popular Tamil weekly (circulation: more than 2 lakh) published by the House of Vikatan, says that 40.88 per cent of people it interviewed said that they would vote for the BJP-led alliance in Tamil Nadu.

A team of 90 reporters assisted by student reporters hired from journalism schools fanned out to all the 39 Lok Sabha constituencies in the State and interviewed 9,174 people which included 3,402 women. The questionnaire featuring the names and addresses of the participants were analysed by the in-house election specialists of Junior Vikatan including group editor R Kannan.

While 3,750 persons preferred the BJP-led alliance (40.88 per cent), 2,083 persons (22.7 per cent) made it known that they preferred the AIADMK-led alliance. The DMK front was endorsed by 1997 persons which comes to 21.7 per cent. Only 937 people (10.2 per cent) said they would vote for the Congress.

Interestingly, BJP’s Narendra Modi was voted as the next Prime Minister of the country by 4,448 persons (48.49 per cent). While the name of Rahul Gandhi was endorsed by 1,434 persons (15.63per cent), Jayalalithaa, the AIADMK leader, got the backing of 1144 persons (12.47 per cent). Manmohan Singh finished a poor fifth with just 662 persons voting for him.

The survey threw out some interesting findings, the most important being how the Tamil Nadu people view the proposed BJP-led alliance which include the PMK, the DMDK and the MDMK. A majority of the participants (3782, 41.23 per cent) termed the alliance as contradictory in nature. Only 28.9 per cent (2,586) felt it would be strong in nature while 2,806 (30.5 per cent) termed it as an effective alliance against the Congress.

In what could be a snub to DMK leader M Karunanidhi, the participants in the opinion poll described DMK’s declaration that it would not align with the Congress as opportunism. A record number of 4,829 participants (52.6 per cent) described Karunanidhi’s declaration that the DMK would not align with the Congress as opportunism while 2880 people termed it as the right move. The poll has brought more worries for the Karunanidhi family. In stark contrast to the past, 35.56 per cemt (3262 persons) said the DMK is isolated in this election. Though 31.5 per cent (2892 persons) did not agree with this view, the next Lok Sabha election could turn out to be the most crucial for the DMK.

Even as discussions are on for forging an alliance between the DMK and the DMDK of the actor-turned politician Vijayakant, 3,779 persons (41.19 per cent) described the move as opportunistic and 3,401 (37.08 per cent) forecasting that people would not accept such an alliance.

P Thiruma Velan, editor, Junior Vikatan, said the poll was held as professionally as any other opinion poll. “In an opinion poll held by us in January 2013 to find out the acceptability of Narendra Modi as the country’s Prime Minister, 58 per cent participants voted for him. This was much before the BJP announced him as the prime ministerial candidate,” Velan told The Pioneer.

Junior Vikatan is a political and social weekly brought out by Vikatan Group, the publishers of the 87-year-old Ananda Vikatan (a household name in Tamil Nadu) weekly.
