NDTV MUST APOLOGISE by A.K.SHARMA on 22 Jan 2008

Certainly fault lies with the NDTV.Actually they have indulged in an anti-national act by putting pervert Hussain,who had offended millions of Indians by painting Bharat Mata and other godesses in nude,in the list.Rather the NDTV got away very lightly with their crime against the nation.A case of treason should be filed against NDTV,if they do not apologise to the nation for their crime.No body should be allowed to offend the nation and get away with it.

Why dont they conduct opinion poll on Rushdie or Taslima?

SMS polls invalid, can be rigged by cogito_ergo... on 19 Jan 2008

These "SMS" polls are usually quite misleading, because they are never representative of popular opinion. They can also be very easily rigged. One can program a computer to send a few thousand "SMS"s in a second, favouring a candidate of your choice. The organizations carrying out the polls quite often use this trick.

SMS in favour of Hussain by Arun on 19 Jan 2008

I must say at the outset thay I do not condone the action against NDTV. Though I am not surprised that we Indians, especially Hindus, can vote in favour of Hussain. I am also not surprised that media can think about inviting such SMS. It is my misfortune that I belong to a community that not only permits such paintings of Hindu deities but also defends it. Just few minutes before I put these remarks I heard on NDTV Munnawar Rana and Nida Fazli two eminent Muslim shayars criticising the actions of some huligans. I hold both of them in great regard but while they rightly demanded action against the pepetrators of this act they did not utter a word aginst NDTV or Hussain. Can I therefore take it that they also believe that Hussain has a right to do what he has done that he indeed does desrve Bharat Ratna. If they can honestly answer this question they will know and understand the frustration of some Hindus they encourages them to take such action.

Ask Mullas, Maulvis, IMAMS by Bandit Mookerjee on 19 Jan 2008

You can also put a question to Hussain and others of his own religion. Particularly, ask the Mullas, Maulvis Imams, etc what they would think if their prophet is depicted hugging a pig.
