One of the downside of social networking sites - every tom dick and harry feels that they are in a detective video game. Unfortunately mistakes in the real world have ramifications. Well these people do not care for such trivial things like truth/verification!

More on Thatcher

The hypocrisy of it all..

"The schizophrenia around Narendra Modi - Livemint" http://www.livemint.com/Page/Id/2.0.1565790743

Sympathy raises some really valid points. But what he misses is the lack of consistency. I would have loved to see these people harp about the Sikh riots as much as they do about godhra riots.

In my personal opinion I do agree that Modi should admit the fault of his administration in responding to the riots that followed the train carnage (remember that). As a CM he failed in his role. Even if you give him the benefit of doubt his inability to acknowledge his failure is wrong. In my eyes, that is a blackmark that should disqualify him from being the PM.

Of course the irony is.. India has past PMs just because they were born in a particular family. Compared to that Modi becoming a PM is less of a travesty. At least, the guy worked hard to get there (even if the path was wrong). Nobody gave it to him because he was born. I personally value a struggle to make it big.. It is for the people to foil it if his struggle is not worth it.

Anyway...

Business as usual.

Another speech by the PM that clearly highlights that he does see the problem but has no gumption to act - well we are used to this aren't we.

Interesting piece on the supreme court decision

The decision is not as simple as some activists would like you to believe. I don't know enough nitty  gritties to take sides bit see reason on both sides.
