Even as the dust settled on the newspaper carrying headlines of a certain BJP government wanting to sell refined cow urine, this new nugget of wisdom by the BJP outdid that one.
http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/002200803071865.htm The BJP, ever the custodian of Indian values wants to ban beauty contests. Now, beauty contests have had their day in the West and are on the wane, but that has come about as a result of ennui, not as a result of someone forcing their personal values onto the collective morality of a society. The BJP is not a party of democracy, it is infact a party that fosters very undemocratic positions, much like its Muslim counterparts in countries like Pakistan, Syria and Iran. It represses critical thinking and hinders the great leap into modernity. A few decades of this and India will be on its intellectual knees. Surely, we are not so intellectually bankrupt to foster such a party in our midst? Will the moderates in the party please stand up? selma ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
