Secular Face of America

Congratulations to first black American President Barack Obama (Barack Hussein Obama) !

During Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas; there was allegation around in internet and other media that he is a secret Muslim who worships Koran. There was deeply acrimonious dispute between Hillary and Obama over the issue of race.

Spreading rumors about a president nominee is not a good thing; but it is sad when a President nominee (now elected President) had to prove that he is Christian and he worships only Bible. He had to prove his membership of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ.

America upholds religious freedom; but world convinced that America cannot afford to give highest office in their country to a non-christian.

Just another face of American secularism!

The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga

The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga.
He won Man Booker Prize for his debut novel, The White Tiger.

The story about a person arrving in Delhi and realises that he is in a trap and has to find his way out. When you read; you may find such type stories in many Indian vernacular languages; but this could be something different that everyone can enjoy. The modern Delhi is seen through the eyes of Balram.

Your Character in Plastic Card

A beautiful ID card is been introduced and came into effective in one of the major European country; this country was a super power in 19th and 20th century. They can stop me anytime anywhere. They can differentiate a foreigner and a citizen. Is this introduced to catch a criminal; then it may not be useful since no criminal going to carry this ID card wherever he or she goes. A new face of “19th/20th century empire” who believes in divide and rule; and got hidden hands everywhere to rule this world through their well defined policies.

Civil liberties already accused government for introducing such ID cards on the grounds that these ID card can lead to exploitation by intelligence and security authorities.

A strategy against minorities and against skins of different colors; and a new step towards restoring 19th century “discriminatory codes” which may affect innocent people; people those who believe in love, respect and freedom.
