Don't Mess with Punjab: Akali Dal message to Rahul Gandhi!

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 7:45 pm By Desh Kapoor

In India, you don’t mess with Punjabis, specially with Punjab! Rahul Gandhi, the bird-brained Congress prince, visited Punjab where he was feted by all and sundry. And, what did he have to say for it? That, as per his estimates 7 out of 10 youth in Punjab are drug addicts. Yes, drug addiction is a big problem in Punjab, but 70% youth?? He must have spent his time at a “Joint club” of some sorts to come up with that... Read more

Britain decision on Modi leaves Dileep Padgaonkar jumping with anger!

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 3:34 pm By Desh Kapoor

Dileep Padgaonkar epitomizes the journalists who are responsible for the complete loss of character for media in India today. In his latest article – ok, its more of a rant a-la-fresh blogger with a new blog account and anger in his/her head – Padgaonkar riles against whoever he can set his sights on. Why, because someone has patted his favorite hunt – Narendra Modi. Padgaonkar sees red. Is mad. And can’t think straight and come off with unrealistic comparisons. If... Read more

Vadra Scandal – Despicable Role of Mainstream Media, Opposition Parties and DLF Auditors!

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 2:08 pm By Desh Kapoor

The entire episode of Robert Vadra & DLF Combine vs Arvind Kejriwal is very interesting. Not just because of the allegations and evidence that Kejriwal has produced. But because it is NOT news. This was known for very long now. Why is that important? Because it leads us to focus on THREE parties: Mainstream National Media, Opposition Parties and DLFs Auditors. Mainstream Media – inefficient or in bed with the Corrupt? The actions of providing unsecured loans with almost no... Read more

Surveys: Happy or Depressed? – Is India a Schizophrenic nation?

Last updated on: October 10, 2012 at 10:29 am By Desh Kapoor

Earlier this year in February, a global research company (God Bless them!) Ipsos said in a survey that Indians were the Second Most Happiest people in the world along with the Mexicans. 43% of the citizens of these two countries were sure that they were “Very Happy”. The survey also revealed that the global averages were brought down by Europeans, who seems to be particularly melancholic! If only these Europeans could get their act together, wouldn’t the world be one... Read more

Why "Oh My God" Exposes Spiritually Weak Hindus

Last updated on: October 9, 2012 at 12:00 am By Desh Kapoor

Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma – which means Eternal Law – has an interesting nemesis. The Hindu. The Hindu of today is a religionist. He has been drenched in the paradigm of religion – complete with contextual and made-up morality, ethics, and principles as well as ideological nonsense – so deeply, that he has turned the Greatest Open Source Experiment in human-kind’s history into a joke. Therefore, it is in keeping with such a strange situation, that I have been recommended... Read more

Many years ago when I started writing a blog in its initial version on blogspot and used to read the few sources of Indian news and views, one writer stood out. Varsha Bhosle. Later I came to know that she was also the daughter of Asha Bhosle Her writing wasn’t for the ordinary, professional”peace-lovers”. She was fiery and strongly and staunchly Hindu. And, she never masked it. She was adept at taking to task the Mullahs and the BJP with... Read more
