Practice what you are currently saying, will lead to what the BJP wants in no time.
They do not get it. Simply do not get it. Having worked closely with some strong Congress fellows, it is sad to hear them say, we cannot win with this guy, but we cannot do anything. Sad state of affairs. My dad was hard core Congress, now he is disgusted with the Congress.
I practiced. I said, "Om, Free guy of pappu"
'
Did you say, "I am an induhvidual. Show me path of intelligence." You do not need to practice this. Say once, accept the truth. Acceptance is the first path to recovery.
I am giving you such simple solutions and you are telling me to wake up at 5. No wonder, big blunder.
Bang on! as predicted earlier In a meeting Amit Shah okayed 28 MP from UP not be given ticket in 2019 election. 68-28 = 40!
I had no knowledge of this meeting and it was purely on the basis of what's going on in UP at ground level. This will improve chances of Bjp, interesting time ahead when infighting in SP, BSP and RLD begins.
EDIT: 12 more MP may lose tickets soon, so around 40 vacancies, rebels of SP and BSP will make life hell now! Things going exactly as I predicted and that was the only way BJP could have tackled a complete castist alliance.

#Kathua victim girl's alleged father admits in court that he is not real father of girl & he did all drama on direction of Talib Hussain to get money collected in the name of Victim by Shehla Gang.
Can anyone tell me who's this retard and why's he allowed bandwidth? What does he offer in terms of an argument? Au contraire he destroys an argument for the opposition. And I think there's a good argument to be made . But who's making it out here ? A certified chutiya like GND or an eccentric bawa Like VSDoc or amateurs like Noodler. In my opinion they're doing more damage to the opposition and to the charge that Modi hasn't got things right .
Reading them or listening to them wtf would vote them in ?
CPM-backed group to observe Ramayana month in Kerala: Party inching closer to Hindus to resist RSS' outreach
When the Communist Party of India (Marxist) organised cultural procession of kids in Kerala on the occasion of Krishna Jayanthi in 2015, many believed it was part of a serious attempt to instil the renaissance values in the minds of the new generation.
However, the intentions of the party became clear when it repeated the programme in subsequent years, and increased verve, on the same day as Balagokulam — a children's outfit backed by the RSS — organised their Shobha Yatra.

Still, the left-wing party could justify its decision by describing it as a secular campaign against the Sangh Parivar’s bid to inject communalism in the minds of children. However, the party's latest decision to observe the ‘Ramayana Masam’ (Month of Ramayana) seems to have ripped apart its pretensions.
As in the case of Krishna Jayanthi, CPM is not directly involved in conducting the Ramayana Masam programme. While Krishna Jayanthi was celebrated under the aegis of the party's children outfit Balasangham, the Ramayana Masam event will be conducted by Sanskrit Sangham, a pro-Left cultural outfit.
However, party state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan denied any involvement in organising the programme. He said Sanskrit Sangham was an independent organisation of Sanskrit scholars and teachers and the party had no connection with it.
"Moreover, the Sanskrit Sangham is not conducting Ramayana recital as reported in the media. Their programme is part of a campaign to expose the Sangh Parivar’s attempt to communalise the Ramayana month and reap political dividend from it," he added.
However, sources close to the party said that the programme was chalked out with the support of the party. The party leadership even deputed state committee member V Sivadasan to coordinate the programme.
The party also took a similar stand when controversy erupted over the organisation of the Krishna Jayanthi celebrations in 2015. However, the party continued to be associated with the event in subsequent years.
Senior CPM leaders have been talking highly of the epic for the past few days. While temple affairs minister Kadakampally Surendran said Ramayana contained lessons on leading a true family life, public works minister G Sudhakaran termed it a political guide.
"Ramayana is a true guide to life. It speaks of family relations, the conflicts they trigger, motherly love, children’s obligations to the father, brother-sister relationship and women empowerment. If we read Ramayana with true devotion, we will be able to experience the intensity of the life's realities," said Surendran.
"Epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata are full of politics and political insights. They teach us rare political tactics that were practised in those days. The tactics we practice now come nowhere near them. There is a lot for the present-day politicians to learn from them," Sudhakaran said.
The Sanskrit Sangham has chalked out elaborate programmes for the entire Ramayana month starting from 17 July. Besides Ramayana classes, the programmes also include seminars, debates and conventions from village to the state-level. The state-level convention is scheduled for 25 July.
BJP leaders have welcomed the CPM's decision to patronise the Ramayana Masam. Party spokesman J Padmakumar termed it as a vindication of their policy to promote the culture and tradition of the country.
"The CPM leaders had ridiculed and branded us communalists when we spoke about the country's rich heritage. It is heartening to note that the party leaders have lately discovered virtues in the epics that moulded this heritage," Padmakumar said.
He demanded an apology from the CPM for opposing Hindu rituals and 'insulting gods and goddesses for all these years' if it is sincere in its changed approach. However, he believes the CPM's attempt is a political gimmick to appease the majority community for the sake of political survival.
He said the CPM was trying to woo Hindus after they failed to make a dent in the Christian and Muslim vote-banks. However, he said Hindus will not fall into their trap.
Political observers see the CPM's move as an attempt to make inroads into the hearts and minds of the members of the majority community in the wake of steady exodus of its cadres to the RSS. The party has been trying to stem the flow by deploying muscle power. However, RSS claimed that the violence had brought more comrades to their ranks.
The RSS has added 300 more shakhas (branches) in the last year, according to the details shared during the annual state leadership meeting held at Adoor last month. This takes the total number of training centres in the state to 5,300. This is said to be the highest number of shakhas RSS has in any prant (region) in the country.
The Hindutva outfit has been trying to silently embed itself in the majority community by taking control of temples and Hindu festivals. It has also been trying to integrate the Hindu community in Kerala with that of the rest of the country by bringing several alien festivals such as Ganesh Chaturthi and Raksha Bandhan to the state in the recent years.
The CPM started involving itself in religious affairs after the party adopted a rectification document in 2009, allowing people having religious faith, to join the party and practice the same. Till then, the CPM card holding members were not allowed to visit temples or take part in any rituals.
Taking advantage of the freedom, the party workers grabbed the control of several temple committees and started actively promoting temple festivals and rituals. The decision to observe Ramayana Masam is seen by political observers as a natural outcome of this transformation.
NM Pearson, a Left sympathiser, said the CPM was following the same tactic the RSS adopted to make inroads into the Hindu community in the state. He warned that it will only further promote communalism in the state.
"Kerala society is highly communalised. The Left parties gained space in the political scene because they fought for secularism. The party has abandoned secularism for the sake of political survival," he said.
Pearson said CPM was seeking the help of gods and goddesses as the current brand of leaders were bereft of ideas. He said the party had deviated from the core ideology for the sake of power.
"It is trying to align with all forces and appease everybody to remain in power. If the party continues on this path it will have no relevance in the Kerala political scene in the coming years," Pearson added.

Can anyone tell me why so much outrage on Hindu Pakistan comment?
On a scale of 0-10 of absurdity, objectionable and insensitivity this barely goes above 2. Congress top leadership in past gave much more extreme statements and got away with it.
Blaming Guha and Tharoor for throwing some fancy remark to be in limelight and sell more book, boost secular intellectual credentials get some jhola chap NGO award is like blaming snake for having fangs, they can't help it. This same man found dumb@ss Kanhaiya to be modern day Bhagat Singh and nobody said a thing.

@Golden_Rule only post links to the articles you think are of different opinion/facts about national leaders. Don't post full article, those who are interested can read there.
History is unfortunately so badly influenced by different ideologies that it's hard to agree on one thing. Let people read what they like and ignore what they don't. No particular ideology to be censored or promoted.
I take offence, when someone posts photos of a national leader with somebody of the opposite sex and then calls its rubbish.
Then you take things like this and allow it to circulate. Again rubbish. Discussion and debating with facts is one thing. Tolerating this kind of sick stuff does not come under the mandate of discussion or tolerance. I can post articles where they will find stupid stuff of Savarkar and RSS with anecdotal evidence. Again full of rubbish. If one wants to create a forum of discussion and then for political reasons allows this kind of stupidity, do not expect anything posted here to be taken seriously. Anyways, up to the mods now.
MOTILAL married and his first wife and son died at childbirth.
MOTILAL and his second wife THUSSU (name changed to SWAROOP RANI) had three children
THUSSU with MOBARAK ALI (Motilal's Boss) was the first son JAWAHAR LAL NEHRU (he was circumcised)
MOTILAL AND THUSSU had two daughters by name NAN (also called Vijaya Lakshmi) & KRISHNA
MOTILAL had also two *censored* sons out of Muslim women by name SHEIK ABDULLA &SYUD HUSSAI
I second what @suryakiran has written. Scurrilous news & images such as posted above have been doing the rounds on social media since the past 3-4 years - all of which is unsubstantiated.
Most of these news have apparently been fabricated by Hindutva supporters in an obvious attempt to tarnish the Nehru Gandhi dynasty and M.K.Gandhi for their perceived tilt towards the Muslims during the Partition .
I don't see why Strategic Front should subscribe or even endorse such spurious news , which it's unwittingly doing by allowing false propaganda by partisan groups virulently opposed to the ideals endorsed by the aforenamed individuals , in the name of FoE.
At the end of the day , these are ideological battles and need to confronted by matching ideas and ideals - both in thought and deed.
Personally speaking , there are elements in both these ideologies that I endorse and reject .
I think those offensive posts ought to be deleted post haste , for they need to be seen for what they are - false , scurrilous , unsubstantiated , innuendo based malicious malignant propaganda.
Original photographs are facts.
To both, there is a reason why I said post links not articles. Anyone interested in it can read it others can ignore. The reason being the whitewash of history by particular ideology. The most eminent of them are lowest level boot lickers who goes to the extent of justifying emergency and call other party rule in center as black time for India.
The hypocrisy needs to exposed for every stand why to censor it? If photos are fake post original ones. Expose them. I don't find any objection to photos of anyone, be it RSS or Congress, the people need to see all sides of morality preachers.
