vijay replied to the topic Anti India slogan in JNU, Delhi.
It ls becoming clearer that the anti India lobby has succeeded in hoodwinking the JNU authorities in holding the meeting and shouting anti India slogans. I feel no Indian student worth his salt would raise anti India slogans. Yes there can be some students from J&K who can be expected to do so and they did it. It is failure of JNU administration and intelligence that it could not be prevented. Why the slogan shouting persons were allowed to escape by ABVP and JNU students is a mystery which needs to be solved. This aspect is looking a bit odd in a campus full of active students.

Of course lot more stories and details are coming out now as to how JNU had become the breeding ground of terror and Pakistani manipulations. Only an idiotic person like Rahul Gandhi who has very little perception and sensitivity about our society and his kind of people could have shown his support to something as dangerous as that..He thought he can score a point like he plunged into other issues before!

@ Shana Verghese. I hope you are aware that in Pakistan the government has resisted any attempt to name any road or circle after Bhagat Singh for 60 years, classifying him as an Indian? I wonder how you can talk about valentine and India- Pakistan ? I have been to Pakistan twice in the last 6 years and though the educated welcome you the people are extremely distrustful.
Its about time the armchair specialists think and listen to practical persons in touch with reality. Thank you for commenting .

Shana sez" That's an interesting juxtaposition. Valentines and Bhagat Singh. I was thinking about both and interestingly, I heard that Bhagat Singh's trial in the Saunder's case is still going on in Lahore! There's a great report by Chaman Lal in http://www.dailyo.in/politics/bhagat-singh-sukhdev-rajguru-trial-lahore-high-court-freedom-india-march-23/story/1/8818.html, under the title, Pakistan is proving to be a bigger fan of Bhagat Singh than RSS. Read this if you have time. I thought its quite funny how the martyr, or traitor, depending on your viewpoint is no longer around, but history is still not done with him. Nor is judgement. Ha, Ha.
Imtiaz Rashid Quereshi, chairman of the Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation in Lahore had made the petition, based on his understanding that Singh got unfair deal and his name should be rehabiliated to show his befitting contribution to history. He has asked that streets be named after him in Pakistan, and also that Poonch HOuse the trial was held be converted into a "museum of national history of Pakistan". Now if you're bringing the Valentine's Day connection into this, I think there is love behind our India and Pakistan's shared histories. Not only hatred. And we probably ought to remember this more frequently. You often wind up having the fiercest battles sometimes with those who have a lot in common with you.

Absolutely @usha manohar My aunt was on bed for almost a year, my father for two months and my mother for six years. She had Alzheimer's Disease. More than me, my siblings took care of them as I was far away in my matrimonial home. I could take care for short period of time but my siblings and my sisters-in-law did a great job
Shana sez: So you'll understand more than the rest of us, what this actually involves. It's interesting that you mention Alzheimer's though, because that is an entirely special kind of care giving. Are your parents still around? i wonder if you've seen the film, Still Alice, which got an Oscar last year. It's about Alzheimer's if you are interested. I saw it on a really bad download on YouTube. I think you'll find it if you click it if you type in Still Alice Full Movie. Really, unless the whole family cooperates without grumbling and whining and losing their temper too often (except occasionally to vent, because that's okay I suppose, under the pressure of the circumstance), things can get miserable for all. Not just the ailing person.And with Alzheimer's they might be totally oblivious to what is going on. I think someone taped each day, as the person degenerated, so that they could refer to the tape to remember people's names etc, I don't know if this actually worked, but i guess that's one use of technology. Which reminds me, that its not just the family. I guess entire society has to be geared around dealing more sensitively to people with disabilities that you cannot see on the surface. And which might be misconstrued for being rudeness or bad behavior.

I think there are lots of people who are genuine social workers. I have a few in my own family and some friends of mine are.

Through your words you are proving that you are totally different from others. Your thoughts and attitude separate you from others. Your contribution in this forum is a best example for this. I am sure that you are capable to make so many changes in the society through your writing and activities.
