India a superpower??? I dont think so. We are a nation of 1 billion people.Just numbers does not make for a strong nation.

We have to root out corruption and inefficiency,we need to be caring and not indifferent(as most Indians are),we need

sincere and patrotic politicians,we need to work hard

Today I saw a policeman who was talking animatedly with a group of auto drivers instead of doing his duty,which was to help people cross the road safely.Is this the kind of India you want?

There are so many child sacrifices taking place everyday in India.Maadhav stop behaving like an ignoramus. Dont you read the papers?. They take place in interior India where by and large people are mentally in the 7th century BC!!!

Traditional means being close minded and stubborn. So please

go ahead and tie the knot. You are an adult. Dont allow anyone to stand in your way. Inform your parents and go ahead!!!

Good luck!!

Indians are losing their touch with the divine because we give too much

importance to accumulating educational qualifications ,no importance is given

to religious education. What we need in todays world are people who are happy and mentally

strong rather than a bunch of weak kneed geeks who commit suicide at the slightest setback.

That is why India has not progressed to the level that America has and that is why you

find that Hinduism in particular is losing out.

Than God that gurus like Sri Sri Ravishankar are promoting Hindusim and trying to awaken H the childlike nature

in man!

Sex is wrong huh??? Then my friend you would not have been born yet?? What kind of a dirty prude are you?? People like you make me sick!!! Maybe you should grow up kid

I know a Reddy who gave me a terrible time and cheated me and my friends.All of us lost Rs 3 lakhs to this scumbag. These

people want to live on other peoples money.I hate all of them

Where do you think human rights are being violated???.. In Canada?????

You are sadly mistaken .Bala is correct. Women and men have a choice and that means freedom to break away from a bad marriage. I have seen both men and women suffer just in order to make their marriage work. Sometimes they fight a losing battle. Of course India too has its rich customs and traditions ,but very little freedom of choice. Indian socirey happens to be narrow minded and stupid at times,to the point of being nauseatingly orthodox and cruel.

I agree with you completely.What makes USA an attractive destination is that people are straightforward, disciplined

civic minded and have a positive attitude,apart from having a fun loving attitude.They live life for the day and dont worry much about tommorow.I hope that my estimate is correct

Human rights are respected in the US unlike India where common citizens are treated like DIRT by every bureaucrat who thinks it is his birthright to treat people who are less fortunate in a shabby manner. Indians are corrupted by power,and that explains the sorry situation we find ourselves in. People no longer respect each other. Indians

have definitely degenerated a lot when compared to the Vedic period,sometimes it is hard to believe that these epics were written in India!!!

Optimistic about India???????? Did I hear you right???. No need to be optimistic about India where we have poverty in abundance, a land where the uneducated people are not only poor but also brainless. These guys are afflicted by two things, a million kids, and alcohol.. I see this in every poor family... There is hardly any breathing space in this country.

Our roads are pathetic,our pavements are pathetic. Our people are indifferent and indisciplined with a could not care less

attitude. People are boorish and murderous on the roads.

I remember a guy smoking his cigaratte near a petrol bunk despite being told not to!. This is the Indian,the typical Indian who is supremely indifferent to his surroundings!

Mr Guest so when Lord Rama hugged Bharata ,Lakshmana,Lord Hanuman, was he following a Western concept.

Latin Americans are loving and kind ,not casteist and regional

minded and conservative like you. They have learnt lesssons

in humanity which we have yet to learn. They have learnt to be happt with what they have. All these "pseudo" namastes are only for the politicians. Use your brains.

My Oh My prudes and soo called goody orthodox people like

you make me SICK!. You are a narrow minded poltroon who thinks that only what he follows is right. Go live in a cave and dont be a pain in the...

Not only that brother, we are faced with new diseases every year.Even the goddamn bacteria and viruses have evolved,so I suppose everything has changed for the worse. What about global warming ,population explosion all over the world especially in India . Poor people having 10 kids and stuff.

Everywhere People want to cheat and cheat and live on other peoples blood. Thats the shortest way to becoming rich. No one is to blame for this except ourselves,India has degenerated so much that it is become impossible to live here.One has to fight for basic necessities like water,power,rations etc

Just shut that trap pf yours.I am an Indian and a Hindu and a very modern one at that. I have always believed in Vedic traditions and the Vedic way of life. This is not to say Im

conservative .I am only saying that our people have become

a degenerate race hell bent on cheating each other. I stay here unlike you ,who are comfortably ensconced in some foreign country. SO U GET LOST!

Dont say that GP. I live here. Here corruption has become so rampant that it does not evoke any reaction at all. What wisdom are you talking about. India has nothing to offer now.

I agree that India was a great country ,but that was a thousands of years back. Dont live in the past. Here people

are crazy. They take to the streets to protest non-issues .

My favorites are the Americans ,they dont slog and slog like

Indians. Indians are such geeks who earn a lot but dont spend a penny.All they do is hoard and hoard . Hey,if you want to look at jolly fun loving people my favs are the Latin americans .Look ate all their festivals, so full of vigour and pulsating with energy. They also greet everyone with a warm hug ,though many of them live below the poverty line. They are the real heroes!!!!

I see no hope for India AT all. All I see is corruption and indifference. Also the fact that we are now a nation of one billion is discomforting to say the least.The quality of life

is extremely poor.

Hi Hattrackman If I am not mistaken .Welcome to the forum!

While I dont dispute the fact that most of our religious books are correct, I must say it has been embellished to some extent

That people who stay unmarried will go to Hell is laughable

Eons back the authors probably wanted to scare people into

marrying early to increase their tribe.

Dont tell me you believe this

All this i know feel is sheer nonsense. Nobody could have seen

Asvathamma ,at least, not in Gujarat. If he is alive he along with other personalities like Lord Hanuman.Lord Shiva could be roaming in the Himalayas. I understand there is a Siddhashram

somewhere in the Himalayas on a different plane altogether.He must be there!!!

What i find it hard to believe is why is it that no other temple is so popular in India?? Why dont other gods perform miracles?

Yes dear GaneshPrasad it is the same thing. The town below the hill is Tirupathi and the temple town above the hill is called Tirumala!

I still invite people to dsicuss their experiences in Tirumala

Did the Lord grant all your wishes???

Dear friends I want to know how many of you have been to Tirumala. Some people tell me that Lord Venkateshwara is a powerful God who grants whatever one wants. Is this true?

I have been to the temple only twice,buit on both occassions something good happened to me. I want other forum members to share their experiences with me.Thanks for your time.

Hi Jimbo I wanted to start a thread on exactly the same topic

Why did God create the world if he did not want people live on this planet for long??? What is the purpose of acieving

salvation?. If God wanted to create life on earth ,then why would he want to destroy the very thing he so carefully created?. Why is he multiplying in so many billions of forms

if he knows there is no happiness on this planet?

Its pure . .The Congress has nothing better to do than to make issues out of non-issues. Whyt not improve the infrastructure of this country. Provide a good environment and improve the quality of life, which I feel is absolutely dismal

Indians should focus on being more disciplined and civic minded!!

you are a boorish person.Thats why you are so hateful!

Hinduism is great aslong as people like you dont interfere

with it
