What people say !
"We are lucky to be under the umbrella of a strong man like Narendra Modi".

Yeh hai Modi ka India ...
I take the 5.13 pm Borivili Fast and when I enter my usual compartment I find my three traveling Buddies enjoying Veg Patties and Tea. Amar offers me my share.
Amar: Mota Bhai late ho gaye ..
Me: Yes ..the was a Flash Mob near the entry ...they were shouting anti Pak slogans.
Akbar: Gross overreaction …...even after 26/11 there was not such a reaction as is now after the killing of 18 soldiers in Uri...
Amar: Miya ji piyaala bhar gaya hai ...abh toh overflow karr raha hai ...
Antony : We must react like a civilized Society ...now why are there demands for Pakistani artistes to return toPakistan. ..should Countries stop giving Visas to Indians because of the killing of rationalists and meat eaters ???
Me: Well for one those are domestic law and order issues ...but the killing of Indian Soldiers is like an attack on a Nation... I think Nations know the difference …..and you have seen how Nations have rallied behind India. And these Paki Artistes had condemned the attack in Nice but on Uri they are ek dumm chup! Why????
Amar: And I hear Zindagi which is owned by Z is discontinuing the Paki Plays it shows ..
Akbar: Na insaafi hai ....now many Indians are demanding war ....why ...
Me: First like I said the cup of vow and revenge over floweth. ... but I don't think there are any plans to attack Pak and start a war. India will do its best to isolate Pakistan Globally. Yes a tacit message too has gone toPakistan … one more such attack and Pakistan will be responsible for its annihilation.
Akbar: But they too have Nuclear Weapons … and then China is with them so how can they be isolated.
Amar: Toh…… compare our sizes….. like Doval has said some time back …. okay we will suffer casualties too but part of India will survive but there will be no Pakistan. As for China .... China has clamped down on Islamic Forces within China ... and Chinese only understand language of money ..check out the Trade betweenChina and Pakistan and China and India ...already there is news China is distancing itself...
Me: You think Pakis don't know this… of course they do… but they use their Nuclear status to threaten us…. there is a thought process behind this… it's the mindset of a Nation that's hit rock bottom… sanam humm toh doobe hai aap ko bhi dooboye ge.
Amar: But Motta Bhai India has to show them a trailer… otherwise they will feel it's business as usual… till now this has been going on…they attack us and kill Indians and we don't react.
Me: Who knows India may take out certain individuals who are Globally Wanted for Terror…. surgically. ButIndia will not harm innocent Pakistanis.
Akbar: We are peace loving people… we should let bygones be bygones.
Amar: When it comes to taking out Global Terrorists no territory is sanctimonious.
Antony: Concentrate on development.
Me: Modi in his speech in Kerala has addressed the Pakistanis and said that its time they asked their Leaders to stop using K as a lollipop and diverting attention from the problems that plague Pakistan. In fact he's thrown a gauntlet …. if Pakis want to compete with India then why not have a 'poverty eradication' race????
Amar: Arre Mota Bhai but when every now and then 'family members' are killed how can the family think of prosperity?????
Akbar: And why did Modi speak on Balochistan…. Congress says it's wrong!!
Amar: Arre kiss ka naam leh liya….. most of our woes today are because of Congress!!! Jee ha after Modi took Balochistan name Pakis ko bahut mirchi laghi hai!!! It's a masterstroke….. you talk of K see what you are doing in Balochistan….
Antony: All of a sudden India has turned hawkish… I liked the old India!!!
Amar: Achchaa you liked the India which turned the other cheek …… Congress ne toh humme 'Tommy' banaa diya tha…..yeh hai Modi ka India…. Na darthe hai na daraathe hai… na kissi ko laath maarthe hai aur na kissi se laath khaathe hai!!!

Dalits in India are today a very strong force

The condition of our Dalit bretheren is the subject of many a news item these days.

Dalits in India are today a very strong force. They are well educated and organised and are forging ahead in politics, administration education, medicine, engineering, you name it! Dalit MPs and MLAs abound. Third generation IAS officers are common in Dalits. Most Dalits from South India convert to Christianity after availing of reservation benefits, hence many people are not aware of their numbers.

Our Dalit bretheren have held and are holding the top posts in the country like President of India, Chief Justice of India, Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Deputy Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers, Governors, High Court Judges etc. Of course, their numbers in the IAS are second to none. This year's IAS topper happens to be a Dalit sister. Dalit Chamber of Commerce and Dalit businessmen are heralding a new dawn inIndia. No political party can afford to neglect our Dalit bretheren. They are a potent force.

It is also a matter of great pride that PM Modi has taken up the cause of our Dalit bretheren with such zeal. Under his leadership, our Dalit bretheren are bound to flourish further.

A K Singh
