Why has the land that flowered many spiritual movements sunk so low?<br /><br />One big culprit is both Bollywood n Kollywood havewith their regional bretheren reduced women to sluts who titilate and arouse men to their base instincts. Are women merely tramps to be trampled<br />Upon . Clearly the Indian entertainment industry need to own up to their debauchery and the men who perprated this crime were merely taking the next step from slutdom to extinguishing the life of a young soul. Shame on you Bollywood Kollywood and all the regional variations for transforming our natural love for Divine Mother into a deep disgust for sluts and rapidly sliding downwards to beastly violence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190251747559700338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759298857950402174.post-4148171967122101362012-12-30T04:48:02.943-05:002012-12-30T04:48:02.943-05:00Nasir Khan: Indian 'democracy' is said to ...Nasir Khan: Indian 'democracy' is said to be the largest in the world because of the size of India’s big population and its massive electorate. On paper India has a democratic constitution that enshrines basic human rights for all and provides for a parliamentary system of government. But India has democracy only in form, not in substance. In practice, the whole democratic process in India has gradually become so corrupt and moribund that Indian politics is said to be akin to a big business where leading parties make political and economic deals and horse-trading for power. The only law that prevails in the union is the universal rule of corruption from the lowest levels of officials to the top officials and politicians. That's where Indian stands. The protests and sustained pressures from the common people and workers and peasant organisations is often negated by big economic interests. But such voices and people’s movements are the only hope in a deeply flawed and corrupt political system.Nasir Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981781828241865509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759298857950402174.post-36265029349976662902012-12-29T10:33:05.649-05:002012-12-29T10:33:05.649-05:00The world is watching and aghast at this tragedy.....The world is watching and aghast at this tragedy...and for the women of India who receive/expect this treatment.

It attacks, unrelentingly, the real enemies of the State: the landless peasants, those thrown off their traditional lands or out of villages because trans-nationals want something; those that dare challenge their authority! Surely it can't do both? Protecting what really matters to themselves obviously has to come first. What's endless violence against 50% of the population or endemic corruption when there are ordinary people putting real obstacles that challenge their ability to squander the country's life-blood as they please? If people keep protesting about basic human rights, and you keep raising issues like this, it'll be time to let of another nuclear bomb, or spark more inter-communal atrocities!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759298857950402174.post-75953615314067779272012-12-26T09:28:08.552-05:002012-12-26T09:28:08.552-05:00HeartbreakingHeartbreakingLindynoreply@blogger.com
