one more on the trust vote...

an interesting event that occurred during the trust vote sessions in the Parliament was the speech by Omar Abdullah of the National Conference.
he speaks of his pride in being an Indian; being a Muslim and acknowledges not quitting the NDA when Godhra happened as a mistake! - this is something which isnt very common in politics.
Watch it!

more on the trust vote...

an interesting comment on the trust vote comes from Rajdeep Sardesai...there's cash involved in any politicking...in India all of that is black money clandestinely changing hands - increasingly becoming more open.....in the US, the money that flows in the political channels is usually in the form of cheques, open and accounted for...maybe we could learn from this...maybe we can make at least some of the money in our politics open and accounted for...maybe......

this reminds me of one of the early posts on this blog where i'd talked of political will and its power to make the unthinkable happen - remember the Indian Railways turnaround!
