Personality or Government watch : Modi or RSS

@Cliftonite mentioned in another thread that Shekhar Gupta is a closet Hindutvadi. I too believe that.



About MSP, day before yesterday I got to know from the 9 PM program of Ravish Kumar on NDTV India that at the moment the monthly income of a farmer in Bihar is just 3000 rupees and even if the MSP is doubled by Modi it will go to 8000 or so rupees. Most farmers in India don't have big land holdings. The earning from such small holdings may keep their families alive and look after their basic day-to-day needs in their village but nothing beyond that.

This meager income plus that idiotic system of micro-finance coupled with high interest on the loan is what drives farmers to suicide, especially if their crop is destroyed by calamities.

In last year's season of Indian Idol singing competition, or perhaps of 2018, there was a young married woman from Northeast who had come to the audition. Her husband mentioned to the three judges that he had mortgaged their small land / crop holding to arrange for the money ( a few lakhs ) to come to Bombay for his wife to try her chance in the competition. So many people make fun online of one of the judges Neha Kakkar but she right there told that couple that she would give them that mortgage money so that it wouldn't burden them for years.

And on the Amitabh Bachchan quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati so many contestants haven't ever seen the second tranche level of 3.2 lakh rupees.



Superb analysis and fact-finding. I am bookmarking your post.



Who is Saunali Gaur ? And sorry I don't know the farmers' song.

And "Sab yaad rakha jayega" has reached British shores too.



Can you tell us the difference between Talaq and "Triple Talaq" ?

Lol Shekhar is one of the Lutyen elite gang

so. somewhat it got true. Giving an Ak-47 to a 'monkey' is always a bad idea. The indian army, IAF etc are so hell bent to please the 'RSS' govt, out of personal bias or promotion, that they hold extra religious ceremonies, didn't end national day with Gandhi's tune (but with a song), and now fired a missile. Perhaps, they were thinking that Maha Virat Modi will save them.

Remember that they did what they are told by TV and WhatsApp that Muslims and Pakistan are the problem and a strong person (like Hitler) can save them from both.

If you take the issue to this level, there is never going to be interaction.
If there is no interaction, there will never be understanding.
If there is no prospect of understanding, why are we discussing anything at all?
I have a completely different proposition.
