Do you agree with me that INDIA IS A HYPOCRITICAL COUNTRY???

Question

Indians objected to the inauguration of Sonia Gandhi as Prime Minister because she had Italian origins, despite the fact that she has spent more of her life in India than in Italy as well as the fact that she can speak hindi better than many Indians can.

Yet, Indians had no problem appointing a MUSLIM MAN AS PRESIDENT - Somebody that (theoretically at least) was supposed to leave india in 1947.

If the foreign ethnicity of a person DOES constitute an encumbrance in their rise to leadership, so why then the foreign religion of somebody DOES NOT constitute an encumbrance?

Do you agree with me that such a state of affairs corroborates the hypocritical nature of Indian politics as well as the hypocritical nature of "some" Indians?

Just to clarify my position before people misunderstand me. I am NOT slandering the Indian people. My purpose is to highlight the hypocrisy and complete lack of professionalism, intelligence and dignity of the Congress Party / leftists / secularists and communists that deliberately adopt a pro-Muslim stance in order to secure votes - even if it is at the expense of objective reality and logic.

I was opposed to the appointment of Kalam as president because according to me, he is just as foreign as Sonia Gandhi is.

If the Congress Party want to start implementing principles, there must be consistency. They shouldn't implement one principle in one area and a completely different principle in another. They are the personification of HYPOCRISY.

Answer 1

No, never. India has its own vews and principles.

Answer 2

Now that you've mentioned many would want to agree with you. However, I believe, the political policies both internal and external are the most crucial to make. India is a growing power without a doubt. She claims to be a secular state and they need to show it through their actions. A Muslim president is one such action. Yet, we have the example of the sectarian violence at a high in the country. Not two persons living together think alike, how can you expect such a huge nation to have similar ideas. As for Ms. Gandhi's opposition, you need to have a look at the constitution of the country. Since I'm not an Indian National I can't say anything in that regard.

Answer 3

As much as i could recall, I think Congress had appointed Sonia for prime minister seat ...but she refused and even wanted to keep her kids away from it becuase she has once lost her husband becuase of this politics and her mother in law was killed becuase of it...thats why she had given the name of Manmohan Singh and it was the best decision becuase Mr.manmohan singh is a best prime minister.......and Even Abdul Kalam is a find president .....he has his share is getting India a strong defensive power and he is good as a president a well.........While pointing him out for being a muslim you are showing the same hypocricy which you are pointing in india ! India belongs to hindus , muslims and sikhs......you can't discriminate it for hinuds only becuase even the monority has a pretty much strength .Sonia is a president of Congress and is running it ..isn't a big prof that she is treated equaly? and if she refuses herself to be the prime minister..its not the fault of the other officials !
Comeon man !! see what is comming up to your country, its developing, having a fastest growign economy, concenterate on the fruit ......whether its manmohan , kalam or sonia, the good thing is that India is benefited ! isn't enough?
As for hypocricy.........so i fear you won't find any politicians free of this virus........All politicans are same whether you go east or west ! so i agree that politicians are hypocrite .and Btw i m not an indian so my opinion is unbiased.i have no interest whoever is ruling india...but i have seen a positive change in your country and that i think you peoples should be thankful about !

Answer 4

Having spent a great deal of time in the country in the early '80s, I could point out hypocricies galore which have nothing to do with the ethnicity of politicians but rather the acceptance of archaic social practices, some which still exist today.

I cannot reconcile a "modern democracy" with one which retains a caste system where a large segment of the population is treated as outcasts and unable to enjoy the same rights and opportunities as others. It reminds me of the USA before the Civil Rights Act; even then, most states in the USA afforded the same rights and opportunities to African-Americans as they did to whites.

I cannot tolerate a "modern society" which still condones (although unofficially) infanticide, singling out female babies for execution "because it is better to have boys". I understand the reasons for the practice because they have been explained to me, but I do not flinch in my condemnation of it.

I ask why poor families still amputate the limbs of their children, perpetuating a class of beggars in a country which deems itself "civilized".

Ironically, 60 years ago the Mahatma roundly condemned all these practices, these cultural contradictions of a civilized democracy, yet they persist. Everything that is good about India - and there is a lot that is good - is still marred by these old ways which they cannot seem to let go of entirely.

Nowadays we see what India wants us to see; the only way to see India, warts and all, is to live there for an extended period and visit the countryside, meet people of various castes (including untouchables) and listen to them. They present a less than flattering picture of modern Indian society. Although India is moving in the right direction, IMHO it is moving too slowly. India must officially ban all kinds of discrimination and enforce laws against infanticide and amputation if it wants my endorsement.

Answer 5

Am not up on Indian politics except I was amazed to hear that India has blocked access to certain Chinese websites over the Internet. What's that all about? What's to fear?

India seems to be drifting downwards towards totalitarianism. Time for a revolution. Start it to day.

Answer 6

From Bobby Jindal in the US to Keith Vaz in the UK to Mahendra Chaudary in Fiji, Indians take pride in proclaiming the Indian roots of these politicians while consistently raking up Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin. It should also be noted that not all Indians should be judged in the same breath because Sonia Gandhi has won resounding support from the masses time and again and dented the pride of the so-called nationalists.

Answer 7

Indiana is a hot bed of political up rest..i would not call them hypocritical ...its not nice to make a sweeping generation of all of India..

Answer 8

u have got it all wrong.indians were not against the appointment but some power hungry politicians were.
INDIA IS A SECULAR COUNTRY.
And who told u all this gibberish about muslims being foreigners in india. India is as much theirs as much as it belongs to any hindu,sikh,christian.

Answer 9

India has a cast system and they are arrogant. I think this leads
to many problems. And the false religion of Hinduism doesn't
help.

Answer 10

How on the earth can you tell that.India never supported its partition as it views everything on MULTI-RELIGIOUS MULTI-LINGUAL and MULTI-CULTURE.I would never in my life and also after my death would NOT AGREE with you that India is a HYPOCRITICAL COUNTRY.

Answer 11

Oh yeah !. I am sure you wish Godse to be the president of India. You are the best example of hypocrisy. Do you know who you are?. What was your origin?.
