'Politicians are now looked down upon as a bunch of power grabbers who are constantly on the lookout for freebies'
Date:
Fri, 04 Jan 1980 06:12:21EST +0530 The list as also the interview with Dravid were very good. At the end of the interview Dravid's e-mail account has been provided. But we wonder if he will read our mails if we do write to him. Pinaki, Rajeev

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 12:06:50EST -0600 This is an example of wasted opportunity by the media. The media has a very important role to play in improving the country and instead what we have here is an attempt at humor, pathetic humor at that! Anil

Fri, 31 Dec 1999 02:05:47EST +0530 The list is good even though it sounds a little rehearsed and political. The personalities are unforgettable people of tremendous stature and influence who have in their own ways raised the aspirations, the character and the hopes of millions of Indians. We have hardly a handful of such people left today. Politicians are now looked down upon as a bunch of power grabbers who are constantly on the lookout for freebies. Sudhir Multani

Mon, 03 Jan 2000 15:57:07EST +0400 A comprehensive and well-defined list. For a country like India to achieve great heights we have to ensure that these points are implemented. But firstly, we have to ensure that our age old politicians accept the current technological changes sweeping the country. They have to change themselves first, only then will we see real change taking place in the country. Francis Xavier

Tue, 4 Jan 2000 07:24;10EST -0600 I would like to see some articles on the Indian music scene as well. I know lot of Indians who hate Indian music. They favour western music which, they feel, is better than Indian music. Even our music composers think along the same lines. Look at the difference in the music of yesteryear and that of today. If you talk about Indian music in a social group it is a sin and you are looked on as being old fashioned. One of the reasons for this could be that musical and cultural programmes (besides what we get to see in films) are few and far between. Even the Indian music albums click only if they also include western beats and meaningless 'rap'. We need to make our people understand the worth of Indian classical music. Writing a few good features on the subject would be a right step in that direction. Radhakishan

Tue, 04 Jan 2000 11:55:44EST A disappointing story. The photographs were bad and the comparisons made were dull. We could have done with some more information on the subject. Like, for instance, price comparisons would have been interesting, we would have also liked to know which countries prefer Indian fashion, about our export market in the States. Sorry for being negative but the story lacked punch.

I am always so disappointed when I go to watch a Hindi film and it is full of heroines wearing Western clothes. We non-resident Indians love to watch films so we get an idea of the Indian fashion scene.

Tue, 24 Aug 1999 11:01:08EST -0500 I believe the interview is incomplete. It makes many accusations and very damaging ones at that, but no attempt has been made to verify these accusations. Even if the attempts at verification have failed, the same should have been mentioned in the interview. The allegations are very severe and if found to be true, the action taken against the culprits has to be equally severe. If, on the other hand, the allegations are found to be untrue, I guess the punishment for levelling the accusations should be equally severe. This individual has cast aspersions on a force which is supposed to be impartial and highly professional, there has to be some kind of follow-up given to this account. We know the police in India can be very high handed when it comes to pleasing their political bosses. The story calls for a thorough review and follow up. Hemant Khanna

Tue, 24 Aug 1999 12;12:53EST -0500 This is outrageous! What is the press doing to get justice for this poor man? I am sick and tired of hearing such horror stories where the victims never get justice. The press is to blame. If you don't raise your voice for one of you, how can we the people expect you to help other victims? Also, why is this not one of the top stories? When Pakistanis tortured Indian soldiers, it was in the headlines for weeks. How come this is not that bad, if not worse? I did not expect anything better from the Pakistanis, so to me it was not a surprise. But this kind of torture inflicted by the police on a civillian they are sworn to protect is akin to murder! All those involved should be fired and imprisoned. If the press fails to capitalise on this situation and correct it, God help India. Raguram Damodaran
