A bunch of idiots question your indianness and you give in just like that?
No giving in buddy. Just me having a conversation with some fellow Indians.
Rahul still has that "ketlo mittho cche" cute dimple boy image in the community, much like his dad did.
The difference is that while his dad was seen as a reluctant innocent, Rahul is seen more as a reluctant slow kid.Hence the liberal doses of sympathy.
Personally I feel it hardly matters.
If a Kim or a Justin or a Manuel or a Trump or a Modi can lead a nation, then Rahul surely is not at any significant disadvantage.
It is the party that runs the country, and not one man. And party for party, key portfolios, the Congress is way better than the BJP even at its best. For example a MMS/Chidambaram vs a Yashwant Sinha.
The bottom line is that the Congress represents the India which was the antithesis of Pakistan when partition happened.
The BJP represents a saffron Pakistan.
That really is the base nichod.
