The legacy and stature of Somnath Chatterjee…

Posted on July 24, 2008 by Pavan Gupta

The current Speaker of the 14th Lok Sabha, Somnath Chatterjee, has made history for his country and in a strange way, for his party. Chatterjee, a veteran of the Communist party of India-Marxist since 1968, placed his duty towards his country before his party’s ‘Fatwa’. He refused to resign his position as Speaker of the [...]

Lal Krishna Advani missed a great opportunity…

Posted on July 23, 2008 by Pavan Gupta

Every body knows that Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in general, and Lal Krishna Advani in particular, does not oppose the Indo-US nuclear deal in principle. If an identical deal was offered to NDA (National Democratic Alliance) when it was in power, BJP and it’s allies would have accepted the deal anytime. Then why this opposition? [...]

What is a ‘Hindu Nationalist Party’?

Posted on July 21, 2008 by Pavan Gupta

Most of the ‘Western World’ and the pseudo secularists in India call the BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) a ‘Hindu Nationalist Party’. With the same yard-stick, the Republican Party in America should be called “White Christian Nationalist Party”. Just think about it! If Republican Party has a couple of ‘Black Faces’ in the party, the BJP [...]

The arrogance of Indian Prime Ministers…

Posted on July 18, 2008 by Pavan Gupta

Either by the constitution or by choice, the Indian Prime Ministers do not visit the people that they serve. I do not remember any Prime Minister of India who has visited all 610 districts of India. Not even the most popular and the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, ever visited all [...]

BJP goes south of the Vindhyas…

Posted on July 7, 2008 by Pavan Gupta

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finally broken the stronghold of Indian National Congress and other regional parties in the South.

Unlike Congress Party, BJP has developed a cadre [...]
