How much Indian is Hindi?

British bans people from entering England if they cannot speak English. Some people say ban British from entering India if they cannot speak Hindi. Well, not every one speaks Hindi in India. In many parts of south India, Hindi is as foreign as English. I say Sanskrit should have been the national language. All of India relates to this language. I wonder what our founding leaders were thinking.

Regional Indian politics

The states of India should never have been formed on the basis of language. Harassing people who cannot speak the local language has become the norm across India. If every person sticks to the land he/she was born in and do not go any where else, India can never function. Dividing up the country in to smaller bits means more politician seats which is the crux of the matter. Preserving culture is a good thing turned bad. One of these days India will be facing more Khalistan kind of movements which no one will be able to control. Because if a country is not united how can the politicians be?

In the recent years India was divided on the basis of religion. Now the problem has become worse because the language division is finer.

Julian Assange goes after spies - Cheers

Lets have the spies running for their lives, the pests. In the name of monitoring terrorism, spying has annoyed many a decent person. Assange is a real hero if he can make the word privacy a real concept again. How does one demand privacy legally is the biggest question facing humanity today.

Suu Kyi - Will she or wont she?

Hillary meets Suu Kyi. It took a long time to get here. But there is optimism. Though US foreign policy has been a flop these past few years, there is glimmers of hope. Revolutions in Middle East are a good example of hope. But the loose ends are not tied yet. So we are left with the question what happens to Suu Kyi now?

The backlash facing America

Pat downs and racial profiling in America has met with a backlash. Americans and even Europeans now face more security scrutinies at international airports than any one else. America controlling bank resources of other countries will result in more loss of credibility. Business thrives more on solid credit than solid money. As I watch the debate of presidential candidates in America, I can only say they do not get it. As long as the politicians get their Ferraris, they will not understand the economics of the common man.
