M. Suryaprakasam, Vijianagaram : Do
you agree with S. Gurumurthy's comment that the Government is nothing but
the average opinion of the English-educated class?
I could amend that statement by saying it is
the average opinion of the below-average English-educated class. * *
* Farooq Abdullah was given the B.C. Roy National Award for serving a
larger political and social cause. Comment This shows that these days
national awards have nothing to do with nationalism. * * * Can we
call the Indian pattern of democracy kleptocracy? There is no such
word, but the Greek word ‘kleptes’ means thief, so you may say Indian
democracy has become a den of power-hungry thieves. * * * How to
understand the BJP Government's regularisation of irregular constructions
in cities like Delhi? Regularising irregularities is a regular feature
of all governments.
Umesh V. Pai,
Vasai : How can the Maharashtra Government use the same
yardstick for Balasaheb Thackeray, who criticised only anti-national and
communal Muslims, and Abu Azmi, who threatened to break up this country?
Because they have only one yardstick, that of pseudo-secularism, that
cannot differentiat between a nationalist Hindu and an anti-national
Muslim.
P.R. Akula,
Secunderabad : If the Trinamul-BJP combine comes to power in
West Bengal will they re-name the Howrah bridge ‘Rabindra
setu’?
They might cross that bridge when they come to
it. * * * What do you think of
the coaching classes that have spread all over the country like Udipi
restaurants? I think your comparison is unfair—to the Udipi
restaurants. * * * A pseudo-secularist says revolutionary
information technology will defeat the forces of Hindutva in India very
soon. Comment. Science and technology have never defeated Hinduism but
strengthened it, and the essence of information technology, which is
communication, will only strengthen the communicative nature of
Hinduism. * * * What do you think of this human genome project?
Let us hope more and more human knowledge about the human being leads
humanity closer and closer to divinity. * * * Leftists, pseudo-secularists and Christians say
the Sangh Parivar is not a representative body of Hindus. What do you
say? In that case why do they bother with so many representations
against the Sangh Parivar?
Shrirang
J. Godbole, Pune : A Muslim journalist has written in Frontline
that secularism is on the rise in Pakistan. Comment. If Pakistani
secularism means breaking television sets because they are anti-Islamic,
God save Himself from such secularists. * * * Will Chandrashekhar,
Gowda, Mulayam and company pay their pending bills in their and our
lifetime? Please look into you palm to see if you have a strong
lifeline. * * * Will Sonia run away to Rome if an India-Pakistan
war erupts again? No, Sonia will not run away to Rome—because she
comes from Turin. * * * Have Sarvashri Syed Shahabuddin, Shahi
Imam and company said anything about the recent massacre of Hindus in
Kashmir? Didn't you hear their resounding silence? * * * Can
there be a joint front of the BJP and Congress? Politics is the art of
the possible, but not being a politician I cannot see the thin line
between the possible and the impossible.
Prabhakar Pradhan, Mumbai :
What do you think of the threats various Islamic terrorist groups are
making against India? With apologies to Gandhiji, a Muslim is a bully,
a secularist, a coward. * * * The BJP leadership has asked
Christians to apologise to the RSS for false allegations against it.
Comment. Falsehood seems an integral part of Christianity, otherwise
the so-called Gospel Truth would not have been exposed as a fabrication.
* * * BJP says Article 370 is still on its agenda. Comment. If
that is the case this BJP agenda is quite hidden.
