"Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi has called himself a 'Brahmin'
while he reviewing the party's poor show in the recently concluded Uttar
Pradesh Assembly polls. According to Congress sources, Gandhi
told a local UP leader "I am a Brahmin" and "general secretary in the
party" while the worker cited upper caste arguments" - Now this clearly puzzles me. As far as I know, Rahul Gandhi's Grand Father was Feroze Gandhi, who was a Parsi. Admitted, his mother Indira Gandhi is a Brahmin. But in India, the kids take after the religion of the Father. As such, Rahul's Father Rajiv Gandhi has to be a Parsi, or at best half parsi/ half brahmin. Rahul has a Catholic Mother and a Half Parsi/Half Brahmin lineage, which makes him only 25% Brahmin, even by the most charitable views. For him to claim he is a Brahmin, is a bit ridiculous.
An Italian Ship's sailors, in Indian Waters, fires indiscriminately at Indian Fishermen, off Kerala Coast. The Kerala Government and the Police, for once did a tremendous job, detained the ship, arrested the accused, despite tremendous pressure from Italy, and won accolades even from Italians for the spotless police work done. What would you expect the Central Government to do? In any other Country, that has an iota of self respect, it would have moved heaven and earth to bring the culprit to justice, as two citizens were murdered. But not our UPA Government led by Sonia and MMS. They filed an affidavit and argued in the Court that, hold your breath, 'Kerala Government has no locus standi in the case and as such should not have done a damn when two of its fishermen were murdered'. Thank God, the Supreme Court Judges are not stupid. They gave a fitting comment from the Bench virtually trashing the Centre's point of view. It is a known secret that the Vatican tried to influence the case through a local Cardinal. One would have thought that with Sonia's italian connection, the Government would have been more than careful in taking a stand favouring Italy. Or is it that the italian connection is working overtime?
Chennai Super Kings may carry on in denial mode, but their skipper M S Dhoni
is an injured man. He is struggling to run a few yards across the field
with a pulled hamstring, but such is the situation that he has to keep
on playing without taking a break - Now, now. 'such is the situation'!!!!. What situation? This is just IPL, and not Cricket World Cup. MSD, who cribs about over cricket while representing India, has not uttered a word about his workload in IPL, while carrying an injury. Where are the Board officials and the Chairman of Selectors? But then N Srinivasan and K Srikkanth, are stakeholders in CSK. Everything is fair in IPL!!!
