  • List three political issues you feel strongly about. See all answers
    • political agenda.

    • We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~Aesop


      Memorial to politicians who opposed Hitler


      Midas, they say, possessed the art of old
      Of turning whatsoeér he touch’d to gold;
      This modern statesmen can reverse with ease—
      Touch them with gold, they’ll turn to what you please. ~ John Wolcott.
      I need to understand political stands before that. I would rather, call issue as public issues that could do with political backing.
      But coming to politics, particularly the Indian democracy, it appears one party is busy devoting its energies to try and prove the other party is fit to rule—both commonly succeed.
      May be we need to take Jose Maria de Eca de Queiroz seriously, when he says politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and all for the same reason. For it appears, that politics in concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
      Then what happens to my issue
      • NRI’s are not to get voting rights.
      • Education in mother tongue is every child’s right.
      • Macaulay’s system should be banished to the Duat!

    strat what is that you did not understand, my stand is against the government language Hindi, we are in a situation like the Russians were, Hindi being enforced on us. The rootless urban see it as a great opportunity bringer, but in the rural pockets it creates deficit. It also causes decline of ethnic knowledge.NRI's are non resident Indians who are not really interested in the country having an all round growth, their focus is a venture to invest their dollars, a place to holiday alternate years for 3 weeks thats it.Macaulay education is the education system introduced by the Brits and we still follow, the result of this education we have clerks, who these days we call software guys to work for the Brits then and Uncle sam today.
