Didn't you suggest something similar - a direct approach to PM Modi?

No, unless I misunderstood, PJ is suggesting a petition to Mr Cameron, regarding events in India. What could he do about it?
My other question if in reverse, what would Mr Modi be able to do about any minorities in UK??

... so it's the MHA - or maybe PM Modi wants to do the big announcement in China?
So - just wait some days.....

Bipat its Christian groups here in the UK upset about their co-religionists in India feeling threatened, churches being attacked and of course the nun being raped in Kolkotta.Cameron could do something through the Foreign Office making representations, especially after President Obama raised the issue 4 weeks ago about religious intolerance coming to the fore in India. But then again you being a born again Hindu with a house shrine to the Gujarati dwarf would not see that.Love is blind etc...Do you sleep with his picture under your pillow ?

Why do you have to be so personally insulting?? I consider myself a Christian in that I try to follow Christian principles. I have also been a member by marriage of a Hindu family for 48 years, a family spread over a great area of India.
I am not a "born again" anything.

India is a Hindu majority country, what have you got against that??

Yes there have been atrocities in some areas of the country, note some areas, it is not general. There is no excuse and it is against the law. I presume you heard the PM's speech condemning this??
There are similar atrocities in UK, Muslims have been murdered and houses and Mosques burned. Minorities are used to continual insults.

One difference is the Policing in India is dire, it is a disgrace and must be improved. (A great pity Kiran Bedi did not win the Delhi CM post.)

I am not follower of right -wing politics but tell me would you rather have the corrupt Congress party still in power? Do you not believe in democracy?

PM Modi has already done quite a lot to improve things, do you not want that??????

Changing the subject.
Anyone watching the cricket.? We are now in UK so we won't be getting up at 3.am.

PS (They have a Christian coach PJ )

Already not looking too good. Australia 328 first innings.

I did think about seeing what odds I could get on an Oz-Kiwi final, but decided I wasn't allowed under the Tebbitt rule <g>.

It would be a good idea the take a read through the Site Rules...especially Rule #1. Thanks.

I see the taxi mafia are opposed to the digital meters being installed.Not one Goan government has had the courage to stand up to them.If one single organisation in Goa can be said to have ruined tourism its the taxi mafia....

We had minority groups complaining in the UK, some time back. The result was the Race Relations Act. The first board consisted of two Asian members and one Brit.

Today, on a news channel, ' Indian government forces US to crack the whip.'
Refers to the racial cop who forced Indian grandfather to the ground. Cop has been indicted.
Same channel, Salman Khan records statement in thirteen years old hit and run case. Cracking whip?

Davie.

But the grandfather was an Indian national visiting.
As you say the policing and Justice system has become ridiculous in India.
What about the Tharoor case? a new witness was being interviewed on T V!!

Why do you ask the question. Nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

You are right. abuse of power.

In the south the actual drivers get very little, all fares go to the better off taxi owners who have a fleet, and pay the drivers a wage. Is it the same in the north?
In Karwar there are no taxis for town use, only rickshaws, they work so hard and grateful for even 5 rupee tip.
