Each time i switch on the tv or open the newspaper, the images and the stories shock me.....The insensitivity and inaction of the politicians, the fanaticism of the Pak media, the empty promises that it will not happen again....when will it all end?

I voted for BJP when Atal Behari Vajpayee was chosen as the PM - the first time around. And felt good. But soon, I was ashamed of my choice. Sigh. I have the same dilemma.

The current option floating across the Net is the 49-O,that allows us to declare that we consider all candidtes ineligible, and will force repolling. But consider the time and money lost, the sheer inaction that will follow..perhaps it is better to vote for the one party and then get after them to make a difference. The days of passive citzenship have ended for us. The saffron brigade makes me sicktoo, but they do finally come across as the most effective. I agree, we have little choice.

Till they got 2 seats out of 543 in a sympathy wave ruled election, and for better or for worse, decided on Hindutva as the new mantra for differentiating themselves. (Akshardham, IC 814, Parliament House attack. Their contributions). They are all birds of the same feather, but I still prefer idiots to cynical rogues. And Modi is a national shame.
