Course correction needed

This country has only thought about minorities so far with minorities vetoing everything that belongs to the majority. So while you read about your faith in your schools, I missed out on reading about my faith because we were so secular. It is time to reverse the tide and time Hindus reclaimed their rights. The guy is just another phony who wants the discrimination against Hindus to continue.

Yes the guy is a phoney like me who wants to make hindus as his slaves.He wants to project sikhs and muslims as the ultimate rulers of this country.

Awesome analysis,,,how did u find this out??

I don't want to,,serves no purpose.
I already know 3 languages,,thats more than enough.

No, I thought you don't like it because you know about it, ergo an informed decision. All languages (including computer languages) need to be learnt first. Only then can we state that Java sks and C rocks. Or vice versa. Without knowing them, one can safely say like jamahir that Computer specialists are useless and computer languages serve no purpose.

Now you claim that Sanskrit serves no purpose. Now let me see from Google Search's first page...wait....

It's impossible to read all that so quickly. You judged without reading.

I don't indulge in pointless philosophical debates.

Sanskrit is better as you are learning your own language instead of a foreign one

Better spend that time on maths and science,,,don't u think.?

 

[Guynextdoor2]

Looks like no one wants to debate anything here which even points a finger at bjp.
Stupid political culture of congress bhakts and bjp bhakts and aaptards.

@Guynextdoor2 not personal to u,,its a general statement.

If BJP has low credibility when they make these pronouncements, it really is their own fault. Modi should have recognized that economy is the reason why he was elected. If last 5 years were lost because of parliamentary gridlock, looks the next 5 will be lost because of communal debate.

actually youre right there shouldnt be a need for a third language look at the developed countries like usa(which has only 2 eng and spanish) or uk (eng and french). concentration on subjects such as math and science is necessary

Again? More braindead engineers(like me)? Let some have a taste of something else also.

I did not read Sanskrit. So neutral. My parents scored well in their time.

Some good and some bad. Not offended and not a secular or communal debate either. Just a concern for economic impetus. Except for the Sanskrit part, he surely does not like it much.
Note: It was always a third language before 2011 when it was suddenly replaced with German, also compulsorily.

It's not about Sanskrit per se, it's more about the skewed priorities of the government. No one elected Modi because they worried about Sanskrit etc, the focus should have been laser like on the economy & governance issues. Instead the government is spending all its time firefighting because of some nonsense spouted by some minister or by some organisations connected to the BJP. Take this session of parliament for example, first you lose many days becase of reaction to Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti's comments which meant the PM was expending his political capital on some pointless subject instead of on some economic decisions. Now Parliament is again in uproar over the conversions issue. While a lot of this is normal opposition tactics (the BJP did pretty much the same), the government is foolishly giving them wood to fan the fire. Economic decisions are still going nowhere and a massive mandate is slowly being wasted & undermined. Absolutely unnecessary.

Surjit Bhalla was amongst the most pro Modi commentators during the elections, his dejection at some of the governments's (ministers/allied organisations) actions should be taken seriously. Sure, there will be many BJP/RSS/Modi/Hindutva supporters who will cheer on regardless & make caustic comments about any such voices but it's best to remember that there were probably some equally vociferous Congress supporters who cheered on & made similar remarks as the Congress slowly walked to its electoral grave.
