WikiLeaks – Advani plays down BJP opposition to nuclear deal
======================================

http://www.thehindu.com/news/the-india-cables/article1551017.ece

———————–
When in power, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will behave very differently from its days in the opposition. This was the reassuring feeling that United States Embassy Charge d’affaires Peter Burleigh got after a meeting with the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate L.K. Advani on May 13, 2009, just days before the results of the Lok Sabha election were out.
Let me tell you a Secret BJP Top Leaders ( LK Advani & Co ) are secretly aligned with the Congress.
LK Advani actually helped congress win UPA 2 by projecting himself as PM Candidate.
Congress Helps LK Advani ( & Co) by Attacking / Oppressing the RSS .

Who helped some BJP MPs vote for Indo US Nuclear Deal, it was Top BJP Leadership ( that was behind this ). Have you seen that BJP has been quitely liquidated withing Delhi. ( Have you seen any powerful candidate as BJP CM ).

Arun Jaitley had famously told that Hindutva is an Opportunistic Issue for the BJP ( To US Ambassador ).Many true Hindutva Votaries like Uma Bharati ( who was MP CM ) & BSY ( who was Karnataka CM ) have been quitely sidelined ..How ?

Except Nitin Gadkari , Narendra Modi or BSY , I dont think you can trust anybody within BJP.

Just look at LK Avani & Co
======================
LK Advani – WikiLeaks – When in power, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will behave very differently from its days in the opposition

Arun Jaitley – No Mass Political Leader – HIndutva is an Opportunistic Issue for BJP

Sushma Swaraj – No Mass Political Leader

Jaswant Singh – You can easily Judge him from his face –

Dont trust LK Advani & Co …they cannot be trusted..

In BJP,There are still many efficient leaders than Mr. LK Adwani.Each 1 of us must know about the

Persons/Individuals details & based on that,1 must decide that who is the right candidate for Prime

Minister

Should People of Punjab need to redefine their cultural Nationalism?

We Punjabi Hindus & sikhs have a very high standard of Moral & ethical standards
As our moral values & ethics were of very high level, People of Pakistan did not have choice but to resort to violent methods during 1947 so that they form muslim nation. In india also we find our culture do not match with people of other states be it haryana or Up or Bihar
I take pride in stating that You will not find a single punjabi who is corrupt
People believe punjabis
Do you think Punjabi Hindus & sikhs must ask Pakistan to vacate their lands to form a Punjabi Nation based on Jinnahs two nation theory
Should people of punjab form their own Government in exile & take up their case to United nations so as to get back their lands illegally occupied by Muslims in pakistan
Please read the question as follows
Should People of Punjab redefine their cultural Nationalism
@ Peter urf Khotey de Puter
Mainu Eh Pata hai kee Teri Maa dee Angreja ne lee see te too paida ho gaya see ie Bastxered ( Kyunki too upne aap noo convert nahi samajgda )

We will forcibly desppatch to your father’s land ie England ie ur illegal Gora father’s Lund
@ Rajan
By making Hindu Name shall not make you Hindu
Dont u think the qualities u were describing about Punjabi Women match Muslim Women of Pakistan -Be it Benazir Butto who had cut hair or other prominent Muslim women ( Cutting hair does not have any thing to do with a woman’s virginity I am sure Benazir Bhutto had a good character
My culture does not allow you to explain the qualities of ur women but Please visit Red Light Areas of India – ie GB Road RL Area Mumbai Agra saharanpur etc etc You will find muslim women selling their bodies – I feel u must have confused ur description with those muslim women
Please if you have opportunity then

As a Punjabi I am with you..I have gone through Very Bad Experience due to Castism.. Punjabi are worst effected by India Politics…….yet not get anything from Govt…whatever they got was Nothing h(camle) K Muh Main Jeera"…..

As far as formation of PUNJAB nation Nothing is Impossible in World….But It will Take so much Will Power as well as back up ( May be From UN )..

Hope One Day we will have our our nation….Till Then Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan….

Why Nationalism has no meaning for Muslims in India?

Recent Election results in several states of India witnessed polarization of muslim votes Refer various news papers reports to verify this fact
Why Nationalism has no meaning for Muslims in India and they vote only based on religious affilations
Why don’t hindus do not votein similar ways during elections
Please do not give a sickening answer quoting Dr Abdul kalam or sharukh khan or some individuals
This is not the behavior of individual but the behavior of community matters
and
history has shown that muslims have never behaved in mature way
I REQUEST SOME OF THE ANSWERERS TO GIVE REASONABLE ANSWERS & DO NOT ABUSE ME

Nationalism has NO meaning for Muslims not only in India but anywhere and everywhere in the universe ; because it is what their religion has taught them.Even in heaven they will never feel any nationalism.In fact the Muslims here ar more comfortable than in Pakistan,but still they owe their allegiance to Pakistan because of religion.Fore them Religion is first and patriotism is nothing . country and parents are last only in priority. They are not to blame for this . It is their religion that has brainwashed them for generations like this. Muslims all over the world have deserted their own culture and have taken to the violent culture of the Arabs.
Even Osama Bin Laden is a great hero for the Muslims who are in no way concerned with either America or Arabia or Bin Laden.Whatever wrong a Muslim does to a non_Muslim, is not a wrong in the eyes of any Muslims wherever he might be living .May be the religion has instilled a strong sense of ingratitude in their blood . They do not have even a iota of respect the land of which they eat daily.
Most of the Muslims are untrustworthy .You see them engaged in all illegal businesses , contraband and hawala trade .History is replete with instances, among Muslims , of sons killing fathers to succeed to their thrones..on the whole they are not civilized and spoiled by a tribal culture of the desert.

Spiritual advice, Should I confront my family about it.?

As I have come to learn, more about my Christian faith. From actually reading the Bible. I am having issues marrying the teachings and principals of God with Conservative values. I seem to feel that I must part from conservatism and organized religion in order to serve my lord honestly. Feel like I have been holding the Bible with one hand and holding hands with the devil with the other. I have come to see liberals/progressives strive to embody a progressive leaning to real Christianity. Not just talk, but they strive to walk the walk even more so. I know liberalism has imperfections, but they continue to progress. It seems to me they are leading in the correct path in general, while conservatism is leading in the opposite path in general. the lack of compassion, racism, intolerance, hate, lies, bigotry, nationalist mindset as if we are all not the sons of God. Conservative want to mandate faith, liberals want people to have the choice to have faith, and explore other ideas. Growth of knowledge and wisdom is encouraged by progressives. Kind of thing that leads us all to better understanding of each other. I refuse to continue to serve mammon, I feel so much more at peace now serving my heart has found the true voice of our lord. But my conservative family has come to oust, and ridicule me as naive, and unpatriotic. I guess I am losing the sense of nationalism, or what they call patriotism. So what advice can you give me? Atheist, Agnostics, Christian, Jews, Muslims, Hindus , alll etc. I welcome your advice.
Thank you in advance my fellow brothers,and sisters.

Your family is a safe place to test your strength and convictions. Write down the different things they say and your rebuttal to that way of thinking. America Love or Leave it? What about Reform it/change it if you love it? When they criticize Obama, remind them that is their commander in chief, and we are at war in Afghanistan. To criticize Obama in a time of war is close to treason. They are lucky you don’t turn them over to military justice.
Do you see what I am saying? Use their own flawed logic to criticize them. Use the Bible and Jesus quotes to challenge their positions on the poor and disadvantaged.

Hindu nationalism is an opportunistic issue for BJP: Jaitley-WIKILEAKS ur opinion?

http://in.news.yahoo.com/bjp-hit-wikileaks-yet-again-20110326-002300-127.html

We don’t Wiki Leaks to tell us that. The people of India know this and that’s why they have forced these guys into being India’s permanent opposition.

India Inc.

What is your view on this friends?

Mr. Jaitley who kept attacking ruling party on leaks from Weakileaks today says that American officials have quoted him wrong. Why does he have two standards? One when it comes to Congress and another when it comes to BJP?

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article1574434.ece

If American officials say someone showed them cases of note, that is word of Bible for Mr. Jaitely, but if Amrecian say Mr. Jaitely said, BJP is using Hindu Nationalism for Political Opportunism that is not wrong, and Mr. Jaitely denies it. Is is not usual double standard from BJP?

BTW, I still rubbish all the leaks from Wikileaks and The Hindu, for me these are only material for trash. But the double standards are surely to be questioned.
@ salal, thehindu.com is the website for India’s second largest English daily newspaper.
@Veers Sir, my comments and question is only and only with respect to this sop opera of Wikileaks that is more interesting that Ekata Kapoor, and published in the Indian newspaper The Hindu, and I rubbish all of them as I rubbish all the operas telecast by Ms Kapoor. There is nothing like investigative journalism in that. It is simple business, they paid and got the contents of those leaks from Wikileaks, and that seams to be only and only intended to favor left parties in coming assembly elections in West Bengal and Kerala. That is why the big interviews of Prakash Karat are being published to back up all the leaks in "The Hindu" and Mr. Julian Assange in NDTV.
@Mr. Bala Venkat, I don’t care what those cables says about Mr. Jaitley’s statements, as I already said I rubbish those leaks like most of the governments in the world but Indian political parties. But isn’t Mr. Jaitley by accepting the cables against congress and rejecting cables against him and his party clearly shows his and his party’s double standards and made him a subject of joke? Hope this time I clarified my question better.
Of course Mr. Bala Venkat is defending Mr. Jaitely, there is no second thought about that. He is not only defending the individual in question but also his party over Wikileaks, the party that disrupted parliaments for days over the findings in wikileaks does not accept the leaks on that website? If something that cannot be verified cannot be probed, and ordering prob on that is waste of money and demanding prob on that is attempt to gain political millage nothing more than that. That is called as "Political opportunism".

Politics can be a cruel game.

"कुछ लोग थे की वक़्त के सांचे मे ढल गए, कुछ लोग थे की वक़्त के सांचे ही बदल गए "

Does Movie no one killed Jessica represented indian psyche in actual?

At least in case of Sikhs, I can say yes. Nearly half a million Sikhs were killed but no one noticed. People like Martyr Jaswant Singh Khalra who dared were also eliminated. People who killed Sikhs openly in riots, fake encounters, disappearances are still on high positions, institutions are on their names etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAkQ2ur7q…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb4RTq43n…

I have seen Indians showing so called nationalism, when some things happens to an Indian in Australia, Canada or other countries but in actual when they get chance to show themselves, they hide beneath their beds. Instead Hindu community(majority) hails someone hero who kills people of minority like Narinder Modhi who killed muslims, Indira, Rajiv, KPS Gill etc who killed Sikhs.
Where are all the brave Hindus, who waste not a single minute to tell the lies to the world, " Hindus made their first son as Sikh, thus Sikh religion is because of because of them. Truth tells something different. There are more Hindus who converted to Christianity and Islam than Sikhism. People converted to Sikhism because of the good missionaries, oppression by Islamic rulers and opposition of Sikhs to this oppression, sacrifices made by the Sikhs etc.. Now a days Sikhs do not have good missionaries and Hindus have replaced Muslims as cruel rulers, so Hindus converting to Sikhism is negligible.

I actually thought the same when the movie finished
Thousands of sikhs killed in the indian capital yet denied justice for last 26 years
Still pondering why so indifference to sikhs

In America there is no system in place today that forces people to remain separate or keeps one class subservient to another.
If you were born the son of a street sweeper, but excelled, you could become a doctor or lawyer or some celebrity or entrepreneur – and at the same time you would be fully accepted by your peers.

Not so in India. The Caste system freezes everyone in place. It is extremely difficult – almost impossible – for someone from the lowest Caste to rise in education and social status.

A Dalit would never be allowed to marry into one of the higher castes and would never be accepted as an equal.
And for a Dalit to make it into bollywood, medical school or opening a restaurant or become a priest in a temple or become a member of high society in India is very rare indeed.

You can move from one class to another in America(e.g Obama became President of USA)
You must not move from one caste to another in your life time in India(e.g. Ambedkar could not become Prime Minister of India)
