I am glad you have thought about a comments policy. Since most people commenting here want to do everything to raise parliamentary standards, the best service we could render is to conduct our debates in a way which earns respect for the quality of it. We should learn a lot from the way debates are conducted in the British Houses of Parliament. The first point of order should be to debate with decorum and consideration with those you disagree with as well as those with whom you agree. The second should be about generosity of spirit in promoting the welfare and cause of Bharat in the world. There are Indian Christians and Muslims who share these ideals. There support and understanding would be of inestimable value in promoting our goals. Unnecessarily alienating them can prove costly.
Very well said Khandu.
