    Chandu, Karla well said ! Calling Western countries by names and criticizing in English as a medium of education . Wearing Western designed garments boot, suit. We are progressing in Go shalas and Cattle Urine & Cow dung. I am of the opinion that almost 80 Billio remittance in Dollars is coming from people employed in Arab countries. Ao many educated Hindus have settled Christian foreign countries, enjoying Jersy super burgers, Roast Beef Burgers, Pork products wine and dine in spite of that blaming Western countries. shame less or sarcasm !

    While as a Presidential Post of a major country like INDIA commendable -- The Tribals forming approx 8 % of population -- regularly evicted for big projects -- land grab -- mining -- Dams -- forest rights denied -- exploitation-- The TRIBALS suffer in what is now Proverbial known as --"Natural Resource Curse".-- Large companies make huge profits but the Indigenous people do not get even a small percent -- not even in decimals -- In addition face violence -- other atrocities-- HOPE THE PRESIDENT ELECT TAKES CARE AND PROTECTS HER OWN --NOT TOKENISM --

    Arasu are you Mysore Raja ? (Arasu- Odeyaru)) I am abroad on employment and not a permanent resident nor migrated to any foreign country. I have equal rights and freedom of expression as much as you seal with. The way you spoke out as if your forefathers participated in freedom struggle. With my comments thumhara kya jaatha hai. Are you sure that India's President has any role to act and decide on her own opposing the cabinet or PM's likely wrong decision ? Never He or she just have to affix the rubber stamp to pass any act or resolution . You yourself know better being in the country. If you have any wisdom please explain. Do not simply contradict with non related explanation.

    The biggest tragedy of our times. Yashwant Sinha, an upright and able administrator not being elected. He would have made a world of difference. Murmu, enjoy for the next five years. The people are there to lift your load.

    Flavian, whatever is needed for our country will be done. Why do you bother so much when you are not really residing here. People who belong to this country and whos forefathers have fought for independence would decide what is required and not those who have come from families of slaves to Europeans.....

    Arasu, Mangalore, Yes....you are right....and it's the main reason why we have still hungry, homeless, orphans, abandoned, beggers, unemployed, untouchables humans as well as animals in every village and towns of the country even after 75 years after Europeans leaving the country. .....!!!!!!???? . Meanwhile, because of this progress all the children of the rich and affluent are running away to Europe and Americas for better life...... under your so called slave Masters.

    You mean to say is your forefathers fought for our independence? Were the forefathers of the politicians who are running the govt now, at present fought for independence? Yeah??? There are so many even in the community in which Flavian belongs to have fought for our country. Please google and get the right facts to upgrade your knowledge. Dont call us European slaves blah blah.... We know exactly who were the slave when britishers were here. I dont have to write again... Evenif our forefathers didnt fight....we too are paying the taxes same like others ON TIME and SYSTEMATICALLY. Most of the people went abroad leaving their families behind here. They are Working under terrible heat and go through other so many complications. By doing so, they improved our country's std. Of life unlike your some notorious people looted banks and ran away....pushing govt and people ...towards DEBTS AND INFLATION.
