'No party has done anything to improve the condition of the people'
E-mail from readers the world over
Date: Fri, 2 Apr 1999 15:45:54 -0800 Congratulations to Amberish. This column gives lot of details about Dalai Lama which I had never heard off. Of late I've been noticing investigative articles from Amberish. This is a welcome sign. Recently, I read his article on the education system in India and the changes needed to make it effective. He is right in pointing out that students seeking higher education are not serious about their studies. This is mainly because of the heavy subsidy from the government. In the US, I see many students who after many years of work take up higher education. They are very serious about their studies because they have to pay heavy amounts as fees and really value their hard earned education and degree. I welcome such investigative columns from Amberish rather than Hinduism/upper class bashing. This change is really for the betterment of us, the readers and for Rediff as well. Yes, I bet he will win accolades even from the West if he writes articles like these!

If these politicians had an iota of 'conscience' they would have gathered at the quake hit state to ensure that proper attention and care is provided to the victims. I don't think education has done Mr Swamy any good, whatsoever. He is just another power hungry politician ready to stoop to any level with the sole intention of achieving 'personal gains.' No party has done anything to improve the condition of the people. In over fifty years of Independence, we are still under the clutches of power hungry politicians. My heart aches for my country.

Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 19:11:04 -0400 I think politicians like Subramanian Swamy and their masters are so concerned about their self interest, that real national issues are important only when they can camouflage their own selfish motives. It is ironic how the people who are supposed to lead the country mislead it to this extent. Himanshu Parab

Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 16:03:26 -0400 I'm so sorry for missing the chat with the honourable home minister. It was too early in the morning on a working day for us in USA. I would rather someone asked more questions on this government's achievements, goals and direction than waste precious time on sensational and scandalous news. I really feel sorry for honest and sincere leaders like Advaniji and Atalji as they have to perform in today's dirty politics and have to bear with likes of Jaya, Laloo and Mulayam. I sincerely wish that the Indian electorate gives a clear mandate to them next time for giving India a real Ram Rajya.

Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 11:35:12 -0700 (PDT) Atta boy, Dilip. Your columns make good sense and give a refreshing change from the rhetoric and plainly sensationalised columns we the unfortunate Rediffers have come to see from a couple of columnists (I guess I don't need to mention names, you're tail piece is evidence enough). It feels nice that there is someone to raise their voice for the downtrodden, the scum of the earth. Thanks for waving it in front of us so that we don't lose our sense of reality. Keep up the good work. Ed, we need more of Dilip and more like Dilip. And please put the Varshas and Kanchans where they belong, in the garbage bin. Rajesh
Date: Sun, 4 Apr 1999 16:25:38 -0400 It is a very exciting and promising development that our army men have embarked on, Operation Jyoti. Hatred can only be vanquished by love and hope. The impressions that these trips would leave on the minds of our young children of Kashmir would go a long way in shaping their psyche and personality. Now, they would be more eager to apply themselves in a positive manner in nation development than simply listen and act according to the militants who often use religion as their tool to lure young minds away from meaningful goals. These young men will definitely spread the good things they saw and learnt about, amongst their friends and colleagues, and that would be half-war won against terrorism in Kashmir. The patience and perseverance of our army men have paid. Congratulations. It is a good idea to replicate similar activities for our north-eastern youngsters.

Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1999 01:46:19 EDT These actors are made of different mittii Why would he want to come back from the hospital if he was in such pain? What was he trying to prove? I guess his downward trend in the industry could be playing on his mind and this sure would give him a boost.
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 17:46:59 -0500 This is real grit on part of Akshay Kumar. Hats off to him to have actually given fans what they had paid, even though he was in such pain. God bless you Akshay and get well soon.

Date: Tue, 06 Apr 1999 22:11:11 +0530 For those who saw Khilarion ka Khiladi and remember it, there was a scene where Akshay Kumar lifted the 300 pound Undertaker, the wrestler himself. No stunt man here. The original Akshay did it. Why? For his fans. People love his devotion. He had a serious back injury but the movie became a big hit. When I went to see Akshay, Shah Rukh, Juhi and Kajol in Toronto in 1998, I was amazed at Akki's performance, he came down and was probably the first guy I know who called kids on stage. Akshay has made some disastrous choices when it comes to choosing scripts. I wish I was at the show, not to see him get hurt but to see that the true superstar isn't a romantic guy who is scared of breaking a nail.
