That was your designation, not mine. If you insist on judging me wrong repeatedly that is not my problem.]

My designation, if I recall correctly, called you a hand-wringing Hindu apologizing for not having enough daughters and sisters to be raped by Islamic thugs.

This is just to set the record straight.

``My designation, if I recall correctly, called you a hand-wringing Hindu apologizing for not having enough daughters and sisters to be raped by Islamic thugs.

By all means let us set the record straight. We know who and how many were killed in Godhra and by whom.

Now let us set the record straight on what happened afterward.

How many daughters and sisters have you and your sexually-deprived friends in VHP/BJP raped, harimau? How many women and children did you pour petrol over and burn? How many surviving women are you now refusing FIRs and compensation to ?

How many children have you orphaned harimau?

I know a school in Maharashtra which is now sheltering the Gujarat orphans who saw their sisters and mothers raped and killed, tell me how many more have you orphaned, harimou?

Let us set the record straight on this.

rsridhar:
``Money so generated has to be equitably distributed to the poor through polcies aimed at benefitting the poor. That is what i meant by ``free market with socialism``.``

That`s what I thought you meant. It`s generally called a welfare society.

So tell us, what IS the incentive for the poor to get off their sorry butts and do something for themselves?

“#57 by sadna on May 23, 2004 1:32pm PT
”btw, Jagdish Tytler actually led the mobs which burnt innocent people. He is now a minister in the Union Cabinet.

Why no statement of protest from Paki or Indian liberals? Have you all gone hiding under tables somewhere?”

I am a Pakistani born “Liberal”. I also have a certificate to that effect, just in case somebody is interested!
I had never heard of this guy Jagdish Tytler before. Now that I know he is bad-I condemn the congress sarkar for including him in the cabinet.

Sonia Gandhi has definately become a controversial character in Indian Politics and her history as an Italian should not be of any concern right now as our own Benazir Bhutto was not a Pakistani and still is not Pakistani. I think Sonia is better than BB for 2 reasons, she married Rajiv and decided to stay in India and during the time she was facing hardship she decided to stay back and face the Music of Indian Politics. Plus, her decision not to accept Prime Ministership is commendable as it shows her respect for the Indian Constitution, which clearly states no Foreign born person shall be the PM.. What do you say about that....India I envy you in every respect....

Mr sapra,
I am amused. It just struck me that it must have been people of your ilk who could have allowed the british a free run all over india as well as been a member of their Indian Civil Service .After all thge British gave us the Postal system, railways,governance,civilization...
