FOOLING OURSELVES ALL THE TIME

All political or quasi political parties are liars as lying is their stock in trade. Strangely enough, the average voters in turn like to be taken for a ride and that is why no respectable person is successful in politics. Advani did the right thing by showing his guts to call Jinnah a secular person in Pakistan itself because the present Pakistan that acknowledges Jinnah as the father of the nation is anything but secular. Jinnah was more secular than Nehru and all Congressmen of his ilk combined as they introduced "minorityism" into the Indian polity.

Pakistan is Islamic and Islam and secularism are anathema to each other. For knowing the truth one has to read the Koran and the Hadiths for himself instead of believing what the misleading media or politicians are dishing out as they are all apologists for Islam. The RSS fell into the trap laid by the fourth estate after blindly believing the strident tone issued by the media when it critisised Advani for calling Jinnah secular.

The well regimented RSS is known for its body building, drills and marches but not much for its intellectuals. The truth is that ALL political parties including the Communists need money to meet their day to day requirements. An all India party like the Congress needs at least Rs.20 crores per day or Rs. 600 crores a month to meet the Party's expenses and maintain its cadres. Where do you think this money comes from? Every body knows that all Parties or politicians need money to keep their machinery running as we have a grossly defective political system in India. But being a hypocritical nation we don't forgive anyone who gets caught!
