I-Calling D.N. Sinha, Hyderabad : It is reported that two per cent income of Hindustan Lever company is contributed to Christian missionary work of converting Hindus. Comment. -It should be more appropriately called anti-Hindustan Lever company. * * * Why are Christians and Muslims against family planning? -Because planned families would not suit their open plan to overrun the world with their numbers. * * * Is not the Congress responsible for making India one of the poorest countries in the world? -A few more years in power and it would have made India the poorest country in the world. N.V.V.S. Murty, Kakinada : Don't you feel that appeasement of everybody has become the policy of the Vajpayee Government? -If, as latest reports indicate, it means appeasement of Hindus too, this policy may still pay dividends. * * * What do you think of Amitabh Bachchan's Crorepati show? -It highlights the value of information at the cost of knowledge. * * * What is the main achievement of the RSS during the past 75 years? -It has proved that the spirit of patriotism cannot be banned out of existence despite repeated efforts. P.R. Akula, Secunderabad : What do you think is the most surprising achievement of the present BJP-led Government? -That it is still there in the present and not gone into the past. * * * What do you think of the caste and creed based polity of India? -As the society, so the polity. So reform the society, and the polity will reform itself. * * * What do you think of the changing vote-bank patterns over the past 50 years of Independence? -The more things change, the more they remain the same; so the more the vote-bank patterns change, the more the vote-bank principles remain the same. * * * What do you think of super star Amitabh Bachchan working as quiz master for "Kaun Banega Crorepati"? -It is reportedly making him a crorepati many times over. Shrirang J. Godbole Pune : Why is no action taken against the Imam Abdullah Bukhari for ignoring so many court summonses? -Because in pseudo-secular India all men are equal but some are more equal. Now that Rajiv is no more has not the Bofors story become a Ramayana without Rama? -No, but you may say it has become a Ramayana without Ravana. Prabhakar Pradhan, Mumbai : What do you think of the mess in which this so-called gentleman's game, cricket, finds itself? -The game remains a gentleman's game, but the gentlemen who play it are anything but gentlemen. * * * Do you play this guessing game "Kaun Banega Crorepati"? -No, I think it is easier to become a crorepati by playing a game formerly called cricket but now better known as crooket. |
