		<description>Sandeep,

I am afraid that you exhibit a tendency quite common among reawakened Hindus of seeing Israel through rose-tinted glasses. Living in a country with a weak state apparatus (soft state??) and certainly books such as Exodus (which I liked too) add to this - but reality in Israel is much more complex and multi-layered. Read &lt;a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/article/4997" rel="nofollow"&gt;this article by Daniel Pipes &lt;/a&gt;(no Arab bigot that) and please do go to the links provided in the article.

The consequence of hardened nationalism based on religious identity are hazardous. From conversations with Jewish friends here in Canada, one concludes that the scientifically bright, secular Jews (who let's face it will create the next engineering miracles - and not the Haredim) are migrating out. The state is headed for Bearded Jews whose primary allegiance is to the religion and not to the state. 

The bottom line is - Israel like India is an experiment in building a multi-ethnic society based on shared historical cultural ties. We need to evolve the right balance of cultural pride and institution building. We need to create a firm, even-handed state - which will emerge from getting our institutions to work as opposed to fiery idealism of not refusing hospitality to Hindu pilgrims who wear black and say they are way to Sabarimala (the non-refusal I am sure can be seen in Bangalore)</description>

This is exactly what I suggest we do. I want to do something like this. Perhaps I should join them. Guys please visit this site to see what Hinduism really means.
This is Subash Kak. A Kashimiri Pandit.

My point we have to make our people feel the proud of their lineage and perhaps ensure we reform our religion of the castism.</description>

		<description>Just see his address after victory. This is aimed at many Indians like me who have prayed and did our bit. I have never seen a leader like him or head of another before.  He is the greatest leader ever. He is the greatest Indian ever.

		<description>Modi is a tall leader. I do not say this to exaggerate because he has made me feel very proud of my roots and my culture but the man has a character that is incomparable. 
The singular incident of refusing to award amnesty to 2 lakh farmers booked under power theft charges before elections goes to speak volumes of this man's strength of character.
Long live this man. He should become of PM. A strong leader alone can take forward. May God bless him with good health and strength to lead India as Prime Minister.</description>
