Re: # 21
sh....
in most of the countries, movement of unskilled/semi skilled labour is restricted...only gulf countries recruit all type of human resource....

Stuka...
You are right....couple of such MNS and anti bong will enforce the people to kick out their govt., if they fail to perform....I think Mamata Bannerjee made this as one of the election issues....( why West Bengal will be supplier of unskilled/semi skilled labour...)..

Stuka,

Nitish Kumar is asking for special state status for Bihar something which has till now been extended to North East states, HP and JK only mainly to compensate them for geographical hardship. I wonder what wud Nitish babu's ground for that be- that Biharis have thru poor leadership run themselves to the ground.

Shoaib bhai,

I wonder what the rates would be for jhadu-pochha if the bhaiyas were stopped from entering Bombay?

Good point. I guess it isn't all that bad that Bihar, UP and Waste Bengal are basket cases. The richer states wud need an inexhaustible source of cheap, unskilled labour after all.

Regards

Stuka,

Now you know who Golam Azam is..khair

Yes…The poor chap has had a hard time in his home country and so has his party, in recent times.

India needs to put internal movement restrictions in place like China

What’s the use of having a Union then? Let’s dissolve it. Apart from in the integrity of India and all that senti stuff, everybody, not only the weaker states benefit, sir. Free trade helps everyone, as you must know.

I wonder what the rates would be for jhadu-pochha if the bhaiyas were stopped from entering Bombay? And Bangalore’s IT industry would all but collapse if only Kannadigas were allowed to work there.

Daniyal Pai: Now you know who Golam Azam is..khair, I am a proponent of Bhayyas getting a beating in Mumbai. I think we will see an extension of that for the Bangalis as well. India needs to put internal movement restrictions in place like China. Right now you have some states do well in givernance and other states hold the country back.

jang,

couldn't agree with you more. the name and the insignia both could have been better.

But i guess miss Banerjee targets the masses as the major chunk of her voters, and having such a mundane name, probably reaches out to them better- and as an afterthought, no one cares for a name, its only what your constituency leader is doing in that small sphere that wins votes.

Good job in conducting peaceful elections in India. And even better - the middle-of-the-road party wins!

The biggest winner(s) in the Indian Elections are

(a) The Election Commission of India: huge task, well done, well managed, and the counting of votes absolutely amazing
(b) The Grace of the electorate: peaceful, even the PM was in queue for casting his vote
(c) The grace of the Parties in accepting the verdict of the polls, and the graciousness towards each other


It is for these reasons you have to admire Indian Politics - the politicians are venal lot, maybe corrupt as anyone else around the world and worse, but some basic rules are played out.

Full marks to Sonia Gandhi. She took care of the politics while leaving ManMohan to concentrate on the job of running the country. As a result we had a working government

Ghulam Azam (Bengali: গোলাম আযম) (born 7 November 1922), is a Bangladeshi political leader. The former Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, he opposed the independence of Bangladesh upon its liberation on December 16 1971, and was a permanent resident of England until 1978, and was forced to maintain Pakistani citizenship until 1994 due to the decision by the Bangladeshi government at the time to refuse him citizenship. In 1994, the Supreme Court upheld the decision to restore his citizenship of Bangladesh as a matter of birth-right.[1] He was leader of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh until 2000.[2]

Thanks wiki. He's one of those people that Hasina would like to see punished as a traitor to the Bengali nation.
