Ravishji,
Let's try to stay on one issue if we can. On previous page you had ridiculed B Raman's article. I'd like to really know why, your optimisim for the G20 red carpet for Manmohan notwithstanding.
Can you really tell me the reason as to why would an educated person (let alone a Lt Col at 'Army Education Corp') plant explosives in a vehicle registered to himself!!
If this is the level of IQ of our Lt Cols in Indian Army, we have bigger things to worry about.
I agree that we should hold off ranting our mouth off till investigations are complete. But that has not stopped you from pinning blame on Hindutva groups back in nun-rape case of Orissa, has it? So pardon me if I find your submissions anything but simple.
Yes, Hindus are capable of resorting to violence and I have no doubts that those who perpetrated the atrocities at Nadigram were Hindus too. But I don't see you ever speaking up against these people - infact if my memory serves me right you had even given those very Naxals a clean chit stating that they are merely poor-underpreviliged-oppressed people (think it was a debate with member Harshavardhan).

Let's get's basics correct before we make judgements. While we criticize the moronic vote bank policies of current ulta-pulta, we cheer for achievements of the people. Many here have harsh words for current Indian administration and but never for India or ordinary Indians.
Someone had once defined that the love for one's country should be like lover's qibble. But it's easy for the water-carriers of current administration drape themselves in tricolor and question the motives/patriotism of those who criticize their pay masters; they aren't fooling anyone here.
