The major takleef with the usual rudaliwalas is that an ordinance was issued, and till the monsoon session no discussion or rather storming the well can occur, and the trigger happy can use this effectively in the right quarters. As for the matter of consulting "stake holders", the journo is correct...

Some points on this latest halla bol 1) The average Indian, i.e gainfully employed (middle-middle) is too churned up by life to protest/ counter-protest on the sm, despite panchayat sessions being the favourite hobby of the majority of us. 2) If "commoners" were so easily influenced by a celebrity t...

Re: Living out side India Cultural ramifications
Yes, there is a Cultural Assimilation described there, but that is mostly because "our" versions of children's books/serials, shall we say, are a bit thought/professionalism -challenged, isn't it?

From personal observations. Three things gets Hinduism going in general. Personal habits, personal observation and community observation.

More than 80% of Hindu American marriages are now Interracial or Interfaith (compare to 40% ten years ago, and only 15% 20 years ago).
