It was tough but i liked reading it, felt like reading a passage from a school text. Very pat feeling.<BR/><BR/>Now i wonder what the Supreme Court is going to do if the places the medicos in contempt? Take away their stethescopes? Also its really sad to see the the saffron part has woken up and is furiously writing up their POV as i write, on this subject a month after protests turned vocal on such a sensitive issue. The communists in kerala and WB are yet to read about reservation, forget ahev a opinion.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ambedkar.org/News/reservationinindia.pdf<BR/>came across this link and found some facts(?) and issues on the same and how it came about. its an 81 page docutment and thought it might be helpful if you wer planing on writing something on the same topic.<BR/>» reply | email this comment<BR/><BR/>In defense of poor Genghis Khan<BR/>By atrakasya on Wed, 2006-05-31 04:24<BR/><BR/>Dude,<BR/>I liked the poem - the idea of an anthem is really good.<BR/><BR/>However, but I must object to the negative portrayal of Genghis Khan (I take this task upon myself, since no living relatives of poor Genghis khan seem to be around to protect his reputation and honor. And since I have a pet named in the honor of Genghis, I must rise to the occasion) Smiling<BR/><BR/>Genghis has been maligned unduly - Poor Genghis loved his mother dearly and was scared of her, he established a democratic and secular code of governance even before the Magna carta and was a great man who certainly does not deserve the notoriety that the historians employed by his ertswhile enemies gave him.<BR/><BR/>Okay, wrong place to say all this, but what the hell, I like the guy Smiling<BR/>» reply | email this comment<BR/><BR/><BR/>Atra and Pradzie<BR/>By Vivek on Wed, 2006-05-31 12:45<BR/><BR/>Pradzie: I am reading War and Peace these days and it is quite evident that only when Napolean invaded Russia, Russian started to find favor with everyone. Somehow, I think we all have failed to give Hindi as much value: I am a culprit likewise and everytime I write I am thinking badi ee, ya choti? But dost, shayad itni bhi mushkil nahin yeh hindi bhasa:)<BR/><BR/>Atra, your point of view always forces a smile on my Angry) Why not suggest an alternative villain (more acceptable to all sections of society, and related to noone in particular?) Having pet named after a famous person reminds me of Rushdie’s Moor Sigh, where a dog is named Jawahar and after the dog dies, they stuff it, and keep it. Rushdie’s satire finds an unfogettable sentence then, “After all, Jawahar is just a stuffed dog.”<BR/>» edit | reply | email this commentVivek Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794419464988884719noreply@blogger.com
