I would just like to thank Shaheed Satwant Singhji and Shaheed Beant Singhji for removing this evil woman from the face of India.

Indira was nepotism, corruption and arrogance personified. A cancer on the Indian body politic. The people who sent her on did a favor for the Sikh panth as well as the Iindian nation.

Now I shall go and read the article.

And this was published in StarDust or CineBlitz?
Sorry Farzana too disjointed and nothing new. I`ll quitely go away before the usual bunch of suspects comes rushing in.

Right now there is another discussion going on at Chowk which seems quite relevant to this piece too. The one on freedom.

Autocracy? How free is the autcrat to act out his/her will and whims?

Operation Bluestar and/or the Emergency singly or even together cannot be treated as the defining attributes of Indira Gandhi`s long rule, nor of the person Indira herself. There was much more to either than just these.

Thank you for writing this article Farzana.

Interesting article, Farzana.
I never remember the death anniversaries of my own grandparents, but I remember every 31st October exactly what I was doing when I heard the news, even though I wasn`t even in my teens.
Poor Harbans, but he might be right, at least a little, about the Gandhis.
I shudder when I think of those bad old days, when we lived in our make-believe, pseudo-socialist world, where there was no money to send any but the best to foreign universities, but the grandchildren of the nation went, even without the capacity to achieve their degrees.( By the way, I remember that when the millionth passenger, an mid-western American woman, landed at New Delhi airport,she was given a book by Mrs G. Who wouldn`t want to return with a gift like that?) Narasimha Rao onwards, India has been uglier, but at least, I think, less hypocritical.
