A *must read* series on Presidential Elections
RealityCheck has a series of posts on the Presidential election which are worth a read:
Raja said why are you only thinking of men.. the selection process
Last day to replace candidate !
PM rushes to Pratibha Patils defence and finally: Presidential spin attempts
I will try and collate excerpts at some point. Thanks RC.
In our history we said,”Yatha Raja Tatha Praja & Now We say, “Yatha Praja Tatha Raja”
Pramod, well said.
Its time to change most of the proverbs, atleast for India.
-“Honesty is the best policy” can be – Dishonesty is the best polity
We are living in the Kali Yuga, not Rama rajya or Yudhisthir rajya days. Not even Chandragupta Maurya or Gupta rajya days. We got partially liberated the nation (in fact a fragmentated part) after nearly 1000 years of Muhamedans and Christian British rule. Nehru clan (name-sake Hindus) never allowed real liberation of the nation. Now Italian christian clan turning the nation back to slavery days (of Muslims and Christian British).
Truth and Honesty still is the best policy. Satyameva Jayate, Truth alone triumphs, is time-tested philosophy. What we need is to practice Chanakya (Kautilya) niti. Chanakya’s policy of statecraft is the best answer for Bharatvarsha today.
