Which is the worst movie that you have seen

I always find the question 'which is your favorite movie?' very hard to answer because there are quite a few movies that I like very much.

But no body has ever asked me 'which is the worst movie that you have seen?". After seeing 'Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola', I am ready with a clear, unequivocal answer.

"Sen and insane: Criticise Modi, lose award?"

'Sen and insane: Criticise Modi, lose award?... ...Since when has criticism of Modi become a disqualification for holding an award... ... ...One shudders to think of the culture of intolerance that could prevail in the country if the BJP comes to power with such extremists piggy-riding Modi's popularity."

Don’t want Modi as my PM: Amartya Sen

Don’t want Modi as my PM: says the Nobel Laureate Amartaya Sen:

Amartya Sen "As an Indian citizen I don’t want Modi as my PM... He has not done enough to make minorities feel safe,” he said.


On being asked why he did not want so, Dr. Sen said, “He could have first of all been more secular and he could have made the minority community feel more secure.”
“No, I don’t approve of it... I don’t think the record is very good. I think I don’t have to be a member of the minority in order to feel insecure... We Indians don’t want a situation where the minority feel insecure and could legitimately think that there was an organised violence against them in 2002. I think that is a terrible record and I don’t think Indian Prime Minister as an Indian citizen... Of who has that kind of record. No, I do not.” … …


‘He could have also taken both of the facts that Gujarat record in education and healthcare is pretty bad and he has to concentrate on that’...
