I think the definition is fine. <BR/><BR/>If someone is playing politics wearing a saint's outfit, they are redefining the meaning of sainthood (in a wrong way for obvious reasons) <BR/><BR/>Hope u are clear now :)Ajithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497040066614517237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910887430630307031.post-82491005844557005852008-12-09T08:18:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:18:00.000-08:00"A saint, as per definition is 'an extremely virtu..."A saint, as per definition is 'an extremely virtuous person, who has no interest in material things’. I am confused; the saints should be in Himalayas, praying to god standing in one leg. What are they doing here in civilised cities? Apparently they were making bombs and helping other anti social elements to plant bombs in mosques." <BR/><BR/><BR/>- Now, do we need to redefine sainthood then? I am also confused reading this. Are all saints making bombs in cities?Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556715527795494473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910887430630307031.post-45622556959072278342008-11-22T22:33:00.000-08:002008-11-22T22:33:00.000-08:00sorry forgot.yes,Wednesday kanduI am spamming your...sorry forgot.yes,Wednesday kandu<BR/>I am spamming your comments section!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910887430630307031.post-36341390661597463432008-11-22T22:30:00.000-08:002008-11-22T22:30:00.000-08:00Post okke und already :-) Here is the link.http://...Post okke und already :-) Here is the link.<BR/>http://blogathon.in/2008/04/20/religiously-political/<BR/><BR/>Also it is not that we don't have a choice out of conventional political parties.

But ...@Seema - yes, Indians have the power to vote. But whom do you expect them to vote. In Karnataka, we have BJP, congress and JDS. BJP is communal, congress is selling off tickets here for crores and JDS has played some of the dirtiest political dramas I have ever seen. <BR/><BR/>Genuine candidates are a rare commodity in this state. I am sure educated youth will vote if they feel the candidates are genuine. We cant ask them to take a day off to vote for some criminal.<BR/><BR/>BTW, did u see 'A wednesday'? it shows how a common man reacts to terror. <BR/><BR/>Long comments are alright madam, venel oru post thanne itto, no problem :)<BR/><BR/>@ Layman - Typos, very bad dude.

We have the voting power that most of us would just like to waste away cos' we just don't care and think what good is it going to do if any party come into power. There is a bomb blast in the city and we think everything is normal the next day whereas it is not. We don't give importance to human life at all and just accept the facts instead of putting our foot down and say NO! enough is enough. It is not depressing, it is disgusting. Minorities revolting against oppression is a known fact but radicals these days don't even have a cause. And God cannot save India as then there will be a fight which God.. Only People of India can save it and high time we all get our acts together..<BR/><BR/>P.S. that was a long comment :( sorryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910887430630307031.post-46685451296978135442008-11-22T10:04:00.000-08:002008-11-22T10:04:00.000-08:00@ Layman - Yes its very depressing indeed, things ...@ Layman - Yes its very depressing indeed, things are going horribly wrong. Seems like there is a gud chance of BJP coming to power. Hardcore Hindutva preachers will get good posts in that government for sure.<BR/><BR/>As a common man I would like to see the whole thing as a joke,just to ensure that the frustration and helplessness do not creep in to my everyday life.Ajithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497040066614517237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910887430630307031.post-25617883913836503542008-11-22T06:53:00.000-08:002008-11-22T06:53:00.000-08:00Was a very depressing post.Go to any cause blog an...Was a very depressing post.<BR/><BR/>Go to any cause blog and you can see right wing extremists justifying saffron tower under the excuse of "you think we would keep quite any more?". The general sentiment amongst them is saffron terror will make Jehadis/Muslim fundamentalists think twice before attacking India. I don't see how eye for eye will bring about peace.<BR/><BR/>The recent finding of 145 bombs from the RSS office in Kannur only goes to the modus operandi of the lotus party. Ramachundra Guha in an essay on "will india become a superpower" mentions the <B>insidious presence of the Hindutvawadis and the degradation of the once liberal and upright centre;</B> as two of the reasons why India will never become one. I think he is very correct.<BR/><BR/>Disagree on one thing though. The common man is disillusioned by politics. He doesn't take it asa joke and move on. He feels helpless and frustrated. The only thing he can do is get the best deal out of it for him and others around him.<BR/>Aren't we the <B>common men?</B>The one who has loved and losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738489354623134522noreply@blogger.com
