Indian political leaders and bureaucrat

[Capt M Kumar]

I disagree with her. I won’t vote for her. But I will definitely not follow the herd to condemn her, just yet. I am not going to judge her by what she demonstrates. That is mere positioning, an evocative, rebellious political stance. My analysis of Mayawati will be based on her work — and that’s something I’m watching closely.



Over to Ramdev.



The intelligentsia laughed at him for the sincerity with which he has brought health — in its most basic form, free of treadmills and other gadgets or air-conditioned gymnasiums — to the forefront of Indians, in the Indian way. Using the medium of TV to communicate with the people at large and spreading the message of good health (no colas, for instance, something that both Coke and Pepsi are pledging not to sell in schools), Ramdev has earned a following that the media, the academics or the power elite cannot even begin to fathom. Singed by his sincerity, even Brinda Karat had to step back. http://blogs.hindustantimes.com/cutting-.../#more-407
