    In Hindu mythology we read that the Alimighty sent the smaller Gods or Angels who showed conciously weeknesses and temptations down to earth as punishment to live human life and come back purified thereafter. We all might be part of such a process. But the Almighty failed to name the place where we should send the dirty people from here to get purified.

    Disgusting. This is the cost of Independence. An anchor in News Channel other day was claiming that he was proud to be an Indian. But I am ahsamed to be called Indian and part of such greedy populace. We best call for the British to come back and plead them to take over though I doubt they would. Bapu had all the doubts whether we are worthy of freedom and kept preaching we should live upto it. This independence doesnt work any more.
