Hm, Ironically Congress was brought down by centrist VP Singh.
that is the reality of congress rule in India.
we grew consistently less than Pakistan and SL for 50 years.
even when the economic growth happened - it was because of PV Narsimha Rao and MMS - both not Gandhis. what is the fate of Narsimha Rao right now?
so you come now after 3 years of Modi govt and say we are worse off under him? but we were better off with the congress?
In 1990, the government-owned financial institutions like the Life Insurance Corporation of India and the General Insurance Corporation stonewalled attempts by the Reliance group to acquire managerial control over Larsen & Toubro. Sensing defeat, the Ambanis resigned from the board of the company. Dhirubhai, who had become Larsen & Toubro's chairman in April 1989, had to quit his post to make way for D. N. Ghosh, former chairman of the State Bank of India.
To force Liberalization Privatization Globalization in India, VP Singh introduced Mandal.
Maybe he wanted people to compete on true merit, based on performance, in the private sector, instead of artificial merit based on cut-offs, which is just memory, speed and accuracy.
In this case, the Lingayath leaders realized that Hindutwa is being used to control and subjugate their people. Shivsena realized it too late. First they do religious indoctrination, then create a riot like Muzzaffarnagar or kasganj. Religion is used like opium. Hindutwa and riots are BJP's shortcuts. Ram Mandir and Love Jihads are biggest shortcuts of BJP. Vote for your MP or MLA based on performance.did you notice, more and more communities want to be tagged as "minority" and "oppressed"?
tell me - are people feeling "empowered" by calling themselves oppressed and as minority?
is this the sign of people being "better off" when at the end of every congress term, more people need sops, reservations, minority tags?
If a community come out of Hindutwa fold its empowerment, Hindutwa is subjugation. people who join Hindutwa are actually cowards who get scared by 14% muslims, love jihad etc.
They(VHP) couldn't compete with Gauri Lankesh on their merit, so VHP became greedy and used shortcut of murder a thinker. Right now they want to hijack the lingayat vote using Yedurappa and make AnanthKumar Hedge CM....
