Anand: the best tool in our reach is the “power to change”. When all the available options equally bad why not use them one by one instead of using the same one again and again.

Deb, My question is does the indian voter have an alternative?

All the options the Indian voter has are similar in nature, double-speak and corrupt practices.

Raghu: good to read your definition, I don’t know which one fits me best but the term certainly comes handy when one wants to reject a view without citing his own. “Feeling Good”? But I won’t ask, because you don’t lie

To Guruprasad:

Pseudo-secularist? Wot’s that? These guys are secularists! Secularistic as only secularists can be! True blue secularists! They come with ISI mark and ISO certification! What do you mean pseudo-secularists, eh!?

A pseudo-secularist is either an infnatile nut-case: an adolescent developing his first opinions and so borrows those that seem to be most fashionable at the moment; or a pot-bellied, congress-type, two-bit politico who sings one tune in a Muslim mohalla and another in a Hindu gulli. A secularist, on the contrary, is extremely articulate. So articulate that he can argue at length on why what lesser mortals consider ‘hypocrisy’ or ‘double standard’ is actually ‘principle’. And the chief weapon in his arsenal is the Conspiracy Theory.

So please mind your language. Don’t insult secularists by labelling them ‘pseudo-secularists’.

We will vote for them anyway. Atleast someone has brought out the duplicity of pseudo-secularists to be debated.

Peace…
