		<description>Dear Mr. Shourie,

I have read a few of your books(Secular agenda, worshipping false gods, eminent historians) and plan to read all the remaining. I am now quiet sure that the first and last word on investigative journalism (a phrase I picked from somewhere else) is you. The quality of research and the construction of cases, hypothesis and synthesis of information is absolutely brilliant. I am yet to come across any other author who can do the above with such top quality as you. 

I am a big fan and wish you serve the country the way you are currently through book and through politics for many years to come. Obviously, I have a selfish interest because common people know that there are good people to think about the country. I have started gifting your books to whoever I feel will have the capability to appreciate it. I feel it is my way of doing social service.

I wish there was bulletwise synopsis of many of your books that could be circulated to the literate in our country. It will help people become &quot;educated&quot; from being merely &quot;literate&quot;. It will also give people a clear understanding on how they should exercise their vote. Especially now that there are elections.</description>

Thanks for this article,it requires a great man to uncover a false god, this article was Hillarious, I had to laugh at futilities of so many pretense.

  Thank you so much,</description>

		<description>An excellent article.But who is going to read it?Such articles must be translated in regional languages and publishes in language papers.
The tragedy is English media is very strong and they have been bought over by UPA.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The end of the terrorist problem in Punjab &lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;K.P.S. Gill reconquered Punjab for the country, he did so by strengthening and invigorating the local thana.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I always thought it was it was the shut down of the terrorist camps in Pakistan that did it. If I remember correctly, the shut down happened after the delegation (was it Geneva) led by AB Vajpayee (in opposition), during PVN&#039;s tenure, presented evidence that brought Pakistan to within a hair breadth of being declared a terrorist state.

All that KPS Gill seemed to have done was take credit and make the Punjab Police into a rogue force, answerable to none.

Surprising - your lapse of memory that is!</description>

		<description>How can we be so naive? Instead of fighting terrorism, we have people who are fighting about which adjective is correct - &quot;Hindu or Islamic&quot;. 

The whole problem is - there is little value of life in India. Just see how Israelis have reacted because 2 of their citizens died. Just see how Americans are reacting because 6 of their citizens died. Compare it with how our politicians have reacted - &quot;1 or 2 incidents in big cities can happen. 5000 were meant to die, only few hundred have died&quot;. Such utter trivialization of value of life is the bane of India.

All we can come up with to salute our heroes is come on the camera and dole out money to their next-of-kin. When  these people made the supreme sacrifice, it was not for money. It was out of feeling of responsibility towards their men, a sense of accountability towards their job. Not for money. Money cannot make a person give up his life.</description>

		<description>K. Gopal Rao Says: 

Resp.Sir,
Sub:Police Inaction in the case of house grabbing by Deepak Niranjanath Pandit
Superitendant of Customs,Air Cargo Complex,Mumbai,brother of producer/Director Ashok Pandith by misusing official power /and connection at high places

We, Mr&amp;Mrs.K.Gopal Rao aged 75 years and 65 years are the Legal owners of flat no 803 Brookhill Tower,Andheri(w),Mumbai.Mr and Mrs. Deepak Pandit are known to us through Ravi Suvarna who is also Superirendant of Customs ,
approached to us for temperory shelter for a period of 2-3 months,since in the society in which they stay do not have lift and Mrs Arushi D.Pandit was undergoing a major heart surgery in Leela Hospital and need one bedroom in our flat.Hence,we allowed Mr. Deepak Pandit to stay in our flat with his wife and son(One son is away in angalore),by providing one bed room and allowed them to use common hall and kitchen
on humanitarian and medical ground with out charging a single rupee.

In Sept 2007, we visited our native place in Karnataka,and locked other 3 bedrooms apart from which has been used byDeepak Pandit and his wife Arushi Pandit by showing blind faith
and trust and handed over the keys of main entrance.When we came back from our native place,we found our other two bed rooms locks were broken and the bedrooms have been used
by Mr.Deepak Pandit and Mrs.Arushi D. Pandit.When we asked about this mischief,Mr Deepak Pandit very rudely replied that we people should vacate the flat along with our belongings.We were
shocked and surprised after this incident.
Then we immediatly contacted Ravi Suvarna and Ravi Suvarna contacted Deepak Pandit about vacating the flat.He bluntlydenied to vacate the flat and also threatened with dire consequences and that his brother Mr Ashok Pandit is a very influential political person,and Deepak pandit himself is a Custom Officer and by virtue of his position/post he will grab our flat.
Further we approached to one/two reputed persons in the society and narrated the things which have been going on and requested them to mediate the dispute.He refused to meet the
persons and asked us to pay Rs 10 lakh otherwise he will not vacate the flat .At the same time he mentioned that we will see how he will grab our flat.

Recently we have come to know that other than his house in
Juhu (no 214)juhu Shantivan co-operative Housing Society,bldg
no 13,gulmohar cross road no 6,Andheri(w),he has got one house
at Takur Complex, kandivili(E),and one at Andheri(E). He has rented
out all these houses and took shelter at our place on sympathetic/humanitarian grounds.

We have approached the oshiwara police and lodged written complaints dtd 4/10/07 and 28/02/08 but to no avail.Police have threatened to arrest our grand daughter if she doesn’t vacate the house and she was forced to leave the house at 0400 AM on 05/10/07(By SI Gaikwad,Kadam on the instruction of the PI Sonawane of Oshiwada Police Station).As we are old
aged and can not run from pillar to post,I kindly request yourgoodselves to Publish this issue on your Paper because this kind of acts by people by misusing the legal provisions to their advantage and grabbing only shelter of senior citizens by taking the help of police and security staffof the building.This is nothing but breach of trust and they know that if it goes to court it will take years together.These kind of issues should be debated and people should be educated about this kind of offences/crimes(misuse of legal provisions) which were probably made to safeguard poor tenants

We kindly request your goodselves to take up the matter so that people will get educated about such kind of abuse of legal provisions and also wrong people who misuse the provisions of law to their advantage which were made to safeguard the weeker sections by using official power and connection at high places.As we are old aged and can not run from pillar to post,We kindly request you to publish in your paper after investigating the case and being convinced as an issue(House grabbing).He has made an extra(double) door in our absence and now he is not allowing us to enter the house with the help of Oshiwada police.If a public servant can behave like a goon and grab only house of senior citizens then we are in the same age old tradition of slavery.(We are ready to produce any kind od evidence reg the fact that he is forcefully/illegally stying in our house).He has not got any papers/reciepts

Yours sincerely,

Mr.&amp;Mrs. K.Gopal Rao.

So many people have suffered or lost their houses due to this kind of planned tactics(Khabja). If you publish the article/News,it will definately help people who go to help people innocently and get trapped.I hope there should be amendments in the legal provisions to safeguard genuine cases.As the legal process takes years together and culprits enjoy the possession merrily.Here the system(Law and order/police and legal system has also to be blamed).If things like this continues people will lose humanity and stop helping even in genuine cases.Please help us atleast in educating(legalities) people about this Khabja</description>

		<description>You have certainly done your research.  I agree with you completely that we need to see what China and other countries are doing with clear eyes and a clear resolve.  We should stand up for our interests.  China is amassing technology and money at an alarming rate, not to mention their military strength.  We should be worried about the potential implications about all of this expansion and investment into other countries.  Too many countries are being sucked into the Chinese sphere of influence and economic domination.  We need to fight back by being intradependent of economic giants like China and Saudi Arabia.  This was a good read that opened my eyes to a lot of alarming facts.  Thanks for putting this out there.</description>

		<description>Karan Thapar was only trying to be provocative without being thoughtful. I wish Arun Shourie
had got more time to explain his views. Caste can not be fought out with Caste, just like
(if you agree) violence can not be fought with violence. Karan Thapar was wrong to say social reforms will be slow. In fact, they will be much faster than bureaucratic administration; they were, in the past. The parrying of the question on &quot;Total Number&quot; was a clear abuse of statistical data. Usually the interviewee runs for shelter. Now, it is the turn of the interviewer to do so ... Well done Arun Shourie!</description>
