		<description><![CDATA[We have double standards 

  When three generations command the same Battalion,  we give then credit Infect we give parental claim to son joining the same regiment. Many many IAS , IFS and IPS officers are sons of their father in same cadre , 

  We don&#039;t object to children of  Doctors , Chartered Accountants , Architects , lawyers , Professors , Cricketers stepping into shoes of parents and taking over same set of clients / patients and chambers / nursing homes as parents .

  We go out of the way to make Mahatma Gandhi&#039;s son as Governor and don&#039;t raise our voice when Omar Abdulah takes over from father in J&amp;K or Sukhbir Badal from Prakash Singh in Punjab or Patnaik in Oriissa 

 Parmodh Mahajans son was nominated by BJP to their national Executive  when his father was shot dead by his brother Unfortunately he got involved in Drug case resulting in death of Parmodh Mahajan&#039;s sectretary  . No body objects to Varun  Gandhi  taking place of his father father  Sanjay Gandhi or Prashant Bhushan and his father both being in Ann&#039;s team 
We have a Fabio and problem , when it comes Indira Gandhi&#039;s  clan especially Rahul . Is it his fault that he was born as son of Sonia -Rajiv Is Sonia influencing  so many opinion polls ,, which put him higher in choice of people as future PM , much higher than his mother , LK Advani ,.Narendra Modi  etc Give poor boy a break 

It is a fact that two congress governments which, have done most for the  economic reforms and betterment  of National  economy and progress , had no member of Gandhi family   Neither Narsim Rao nor Manmohan Singh  had any  Gandhi family member  in their cabinet yet the achieved so much 




In a democracy every one has right to rise . Have we not had people like Giri , Neelam Reddy ,Giani  as presidents. Were they the best available ??   or Charan singh , Chandershekhr , IK Gujral , Deo Gaudha as prime minters Did they have better bio datas than Kajrewal . Does the best officer rise to be Chief ? Look at our course Sword of honor and Gold Medals  left / retired as Lt Col  while some of the &quot;BEST &quot; and &quot; MOST DESERVING&quot; became Maj and Lt Gens.Were they the best ????????r IT IS LUCK DESTINY AND CIRCUMSTANCES 




Let us not prejudice and target any one individual or family or party or system]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news is that Arundhati Roy now opposes Anna (just a week back she supported the movement). Is this because this movement received a huge public response and her movements did not? Just jealousy?

 

Aruna Roy (mentioned below) wants her draft of the bill, but she doesn’t have mass support. She’s against mass movements deciding on the content of a bill. But did corruption previously have public support (it certainly had the political parties) for 50 years? Did she accept salary from any NGO sponsored by a political party (or the Government) in drafting her version of the bill? If she did, she is certainly part of the system.

 Useless questions that come into my head.]]></description>
