DEBATE (1)

Raghuram Rajan RBI governor tenure must be extended if he wills. The country will see stable economic reforms. His decisions are infact quietly admired by the government also.

Raghu

DEBATE (2)

Rajan should be given one more term or he should be made Finance Minister.

Hitesh Jagota

DEBATE (3)

In my view the RBI Governor is doing a great job. He should be given another term. If not, the country is the looser.

Is Kashmir slipping away from India?

Yes if we do not recognize and act on the very serious mischief being played there by the rogues in ISI. It seems these elements from the intelligence agency of Pakistan are provoking the locals who have already been alienated from India by our wrong handling as well as false propaganda by the paid agents of Pakistan-Hurriyat among those. The latest episode which caused the death of 5 young people in Handwara and Kupwara is one such incident. The two local boys teased the girl and the rumour was spread that an army Jawan molested her which led to large scale protests and violence. When the girl has testified before the CJM that no army man has molested her, Hurriyat and their ilk come out with the excuse that the same has been done under duress. The fact of the matter is that Pakistan army wants our army to be discredited so that they should be forced to leave the place to make it easier for them to move in. People of Kashmir are falling into their trap. They do not realize that if ever they become part of Pakistani state their condition is going to be worse. The kind of special privileges they enjoy today and the special status given to the state would not be available to them. Kashmir will then be occupied by the militants of Taliban variety from whom it would not be possible to save their girls. It is time that we also adopt some Machiavellian methods and expose the handiwork of ISI agents not only the valley but elsewhere also in our Universities where they are encouraging young students, maybe by paying them to stage anti-India protests. What happened in JNU on Feb.9 is a pointer towards a genuine concern that some outsiders have entered there to help ISI in their anti-India propaganda. It is time for our intelligence agencies to wake up and identify such mischief-makers and expose these nefarious games of ISI.
