Re: CORRUPT POLITY OF BHARAT - IS THE NATION IN A COMA?

What a Motto to have when you are criticizing others !
Look Who's Talking - those who live on free Healthcare
and free money given to them by their Governments !

If this is the motto of (CII (Cologne, Germany) ?) how could you then
criticize Bharatiya leaders of being corrupt, etc. ?
This kind of logic of picking and choosing countries to target for
Corruption makes no sense. This kind of financial activity involving
billions of dollars should be expected when you are dealing with
billion or more people on earth !
Good heavens ! We are not dealing with one or two people in Bharat -
we are dealing with the economics of a fifth of the world population;
and look who is talking - these Europeans who survive on government
funded free healthcare and free money coming from Government and
plenty of vacation time and what not !
Couch-potatoes who are nothing but Drooling Bats inciting violence
because of their own real problems or lack thereof (i.e. mental
problems - Drooling Bats - 'Idle Mind is Devil's workshop'), I would
think !
I guess 'MOHAN' was unfairly attacked with too many detailed questions
which no one needs to answer in order to move forward in this world
peacefully. As long as we have all the needed resources to provide
food, clothing, goods and services, etc. to the people, none of these
rabble-rousers are going to get anywhere with their hopes of 'Karl
Marx's' utopia of Communist takeover of the whole world - 'Workers of
the World Unite ! You have nothing to lose but your chains, etc.' -
garbage, drivel - that kind of Drooling Bat reasoning does not work in
front of The One God on Earth.
