usha manohar replied to the topic Have we grasped how serious the global issue is ?.
Of course one cannot go back in life..However, with too many conflicting and contradictory statements coming from too many experts on environmental issues , one is never sure how to tackle the issue at a personal level. We can only do so much, but when everyone joins hands I am sure there would be a positive change in times to come, sincerely hoping that it is not too little too late !

If all kingdoms were together no foreign king could have made such headway. Rajputs entered into a pact with Mughals to remain in power in their kingdoms and accepted Mughal supremacy and supported them with their own armies and solidified the relations by entering into wedlocks. Please do not bring religion because then history gets distorted.
It is right that at that time India is not a country and it is also right that most of kings of the Rajasthan state entered in to pact with Mughals, but it is right that Mughal were not outsider. Native place of most of the kings of the states of was Hindustan. But native place of Mughals was not south Asia.

It is easy to control vehicular pollution that industrial pollution. Problem is air pollution so it is not matter from where to start. it may be vehicles or industries.

This has always been the case, in my own town we had a very violent communal riot, that took many innocent lives which was in fact the handiwork of the politicians . During that time we had curfew for 3 weeks all through the day and it was some Christian organisations along with the RSS who helped out in supplying milk, vegetables and other stuff since highways were all blocked and food supply became scarce and there was no petrol..
yes RSS workers, (Parchrak) is know for their service to peoples. It is question to congress and other parties, they have any such group of volunteers who serve peoples volountry.

One can accept the teachings and preachins of RSS on Hindu religion. Absolutely no problem. It is when they start directing politics on religion basis then problem arises. For that they must have the direct mandate of the voters.

Shivaji was a great king who fought the powerful Moghuls to expand his empire which was a legitimate goal of the hundreds of kings who existed at that time. He was an empire builder and also a great tactician in guerrilla warfare. He built a large number of forts spread over a large area many of which are standing today also. Like Akbar consolidated the Mughal empire his father/grandfather established, Shivaji greatly consolidated the Maratha empire his father established. The Maratha empire spread from Deep South to North but faced two large defeats against the Afghan Abdalli and later on the British. The Maratha empire was for a large period rule by the Peshwas and not the descendents of Shivaji. IN South and Bengal the rule was enforced very harshly especially in the collection of farm produce from farmers. Shivaji was a noble king who fought to protect and also expand his empire. The Peshwas joined hands with the last Mughal king in the 1857 uprising against the British. It is later on that it has been converted into a Hindu versus Muslim battle which is strictly not true. It is because of this twist that perhaps many are not responding in the forum out of politeness. But I have and you can stat pouring the secular or non secular venom against my remarks. However I maintain that Shivaji seen as a king was a fantastic king.

Yes Kalyani, many people in India have been mentally dinned into believing that disowning their own people and religion and upholding minorities and making excuses for them even when they are in the wrong is called secularism, a pity that even the educated fall into this trap that the family party has prepared over the years ..

whatever is spoiled by human beings can't come back. So, best thing is to start becoming environment friendly and taking strong action so that people don't spoil nature.

Election Commission must take corrective action to ensure same voter list and same booth for each voter for every election unless modifications are made with the change in the status of the voter if he shifts somewhere else.
