Indian Political Discussion

But we need to remind them who they are and put them in their places, when they go on to claim they are better than us, and claim to boss over us.
Aukaad dikhana hai inko.

Always remember, Superiority complex is another form of Inferiority complex. Its just a more extreme form.

Which is why any claim of superiority just makes me smile.

Yes whatever. It does not really interest me.

What Owaisi is as an Indian is of interest to me. I believe his heart is in the right place.

Cheers, Doc

What is the right place for his heart ?

With the muslims or with the constitution of India ? or with ALL citizens of India ?

Here is him calling Hindus Impotent.

I cannot watch utube.

Do you have a point somewhere in that rant that somehow makes Hindus a superior fighting force than the at best mediocre one they are widely considered to be by historians and military enthusiasts worldwide.

Why even compare yourself to Persians?

Start small and see if that works? The Vikings maybe.

Cheers, Doc
You should watch the clip, it will tell you , the reality you face.
Simple point a ' Bhagode' cannot claim to be a superior fighting force.
The simple fact the only surviving Zoroastrians in the world are found mostly in Bharat.
So,how small should i start, Mr.Refugee.

Cannot see utube.

Why should you fret at someone calling you impotent?

You and many among you have called our Muslims, and Christians, and increasingly our Parsis, a lot worse.

How does that make him not moderate?

Our MP, MLA & Municipal Corporation Representative (MCD) is from BJP. We,'ve voted for all of them but in return they did Zero Work.

I support him & Criticize his Government when it does something wrong. And I agree with you that Modi has been doing fine when it comes to leading India. That's why we aren't voting against him.

PS: The work which needs to be taken care off, needs MP's intervention. I had also seeked her help on Twitter. She promised that I'll see changes in Few Days, but almost 2 years been passed...:sleep:
You mean Smt. Meenakashi Lekhi ?
 
Depends on a few things. The National leadership will probably come down more heavily on Raje than before and she will face more scrutiny now, the Congress may or may not have the funds to take the fight to BJP depending on whether or not they retain Karnataka, and it also depends on other leadership projected at the state level by BJP. I had earlier heard rumblings that if Congress puts up Pilot, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore may start to be pushed as a more prominent face/leader to counter him.
Elections is all about who can spend more money. That department Congress is lacking now.

They know that. And that's the reason they are pushing so much in north east and Odisha. In Odisha, they will gain at least 7-8 seats and may be another 10-12 in north east. They might gain few in West Bengal as well.
Rumors abound that Bijayant Panda might come to BJP, he was suspended recently for anti party activity by BJD.

I guess you and many others would jump me for it, but I would like us to mainstream Asauddin Owaisi a lot more. He can be an asset for the nation, and not just his community. And I believe he is a patriot.

There are others, but let us stick to him.

Cheers, Doc
Owaisi is a patriot ?? I would urge to read a little more about the origin of his party and his family. Hint: Opeartion polo

He wants to join BJP and he enjoys lot of goodwill among the mass. But he wants to be chief minister and Dharmendra Pradhan will not allow it. I hope Amit shah pulls him into BJP. BJD has a strong grassroots level network. But it's loosing popularity due to policy paralysis for last 5 years. Virtually an IAS officer is running the state.

That is because the Nizam called himself Turki.

In fact, after the abolition of the privy purse, Mukarram Jah, the last Nizam of Hyderabad retired to Turkey.

But in this context, I must recount one important part of History Hindus need to know and acknowledge.

Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan might not have wanted to merge with India, but when he was forced to do so, he acted honourable. In 1965, during the war with china, Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965 visited Hyderabad and requested the Nizam to contribute generously to the National Defence Fund, set up in the wake of the Indo-Chinese skirmish. Without a second thought, Mir Osman Ali announced that he would contribute five tonnes of gold to augment the war fund. In monetary terms, the Nizam’s contribution was about Rs 75 lakh, or about three-fourth of the annual Privy Purse he received from the Centre. In terms of today’s gold price in the international market, this donation translates to a whopping Rs 1,500 crore.

The Nizam’s donation of 5,000 kg of gold to the National Defence Fund in 1965 was the biggest ever contribution by any individual or organisation in India and remains unsurpassed till today.

However, known for his wit and frugality, Mir Osman Ali Khan did not hesitate to seek the return of the empty iron boxes once the gold coins and bars were offloaded in Delhi. “I am donating the gold and not the iron boxes. Do not forget to return them,” the Nizam told the officials even as his son-in-law and confidant Ali Pasha carried trays of gold coins from the Nazri Bagh Palace. The empty boxes were duly returned.


Now that too is something we need to learn and remember. It take all sorts to build a Nation.
Generous and honorable ? Nope, it was fear put in them by Telangana people when they erased a few places where Muslims lived.
It was just fear that made them behave generous and honorable.

Its pointless to debate WHY he did what he did.

Everybody has their own reason to do the right thing or the wrong thing.

What is important is ACTION , not words. Why anyone does the right thing is as irrelevant as why anyone does a wrong thing.

Maybe it was fear, maybe it was his last grand gesture. Its not important, but its important to be graceful for a donation that large in a time of need. That builds OUR character, so if nothing else, do it for yourself.

Unfortunately that won't happen. Dharmendra Pradhan's performance as petroleum minister has been pretty good and Ujwala yojana was one of the major factors of UP win. So BJP top brass is pushing him as CM candidate. Baijawant Panda should join BJP and work his way to the top. He is still young and has a long political carrier left.

It was a simple act of buying back grace,forgiveness from the people he looted so much. After Partition there was a lot of bad blood with Razakars, he was buying his repentance.

Since I do not have the ability to read the mind of dead men, let me just leave you with this post.

Humans are a bundle of contradictions. Full of hate and full of love, both exist in equal measure. Its time to let go.

‘The last Nizam of Hyderabad was not a miser’

“The Nizam donated so much money for public causes, apart from building educational institutions in Hyderabad. People called him a miser simply because he lived a simple life in spite of being the ruler. He would just wear a sherwani over a white kurta and pyjama. He would only dress up for special occasions.”.......

..... “As chairman, I had free time and would look at old files in the King Kothi palace. One of them was about the purchase of a blanket. The Nizam’s Peshi [secretary] wrote to him stating that only ₹4 was sanctioned against its cost of ₹7. Osman Ali Khan wrote back to him saying that his old blanket would last him that winter and added ‘Zindagi baaki rahegi toh agle saal dekhajaaega[we will think of a new blanket if I live till the next winter].’

“This was much before 1947. On the same day, the Peshi also informed the Nizam that one of the mosques, either the Jama Masjid in Delhi or the Badshahi mosque in Lahore, had asked for ₹75,000 to repair one-fourth of its floor. Osman Ali Khan sanctioned ₹3 lakh instead, stating that the remaining three-fourth of the floor should not look old,” recalled Mr. Shahid.

Mr. Shahid feels that if Osman Ali Khan was really a miser, he would not have sanctioned that money. He added that the former monarch even smoked the Charminar brand cigarettes, which were specially rolled for him in roasted tobacco, only with the sole intention of promoting the local industry in Hyderabad.
 
Sorry to hear about your parents.

I care a great deal about my faith. But my faith is personal to me and I do not believe in shoving it into people's faces.

Cheers, Doc
Happened a long time ago. I guess that's true of every faith not of Abrahamic origins .Ironically , including Judaism .
 
I know about his dad.

Cheers, Doc
You should read about his grand father and the origin of AIMIM. I am sure you have never interacted with any AIMIM members whose ancestors are the infamous Razzakars. These folks are not only anti Hindu, they have still not accepted the idea of India. Generation after generation have been brainwashed that India was a poor state and forcibly annexed Hyderabad to fill it's coffers. Branding Owaisi as a patriot is a cruel joke.

Why would you blame a son for the sins of his father and grandfather?

Let us not talk conjecture or anecdotal discussions ( I have met AIMIM guys, they are so anti India, etc etc).

Let us talk about Owaisi. Only Owaisi. Asauddin.

It looks like the fight is between BJP and BJD in odisha. Bijayant Panda was looking to refresh grass roots of BJD, since he senses bad party prospects in elections and he was suspended calling it anti party activity.
