I managed to take some time off today to catch up on Manohar Parrikar's Interview.
On first impression, it looked as though Manohar Parrikar was perhaps not sincere on some issues like sacking of Babush and the SEZs. Maybe I'll comment on these when I get my own facts right. I agree with BJP sympathizers here that a lot of people particularly from the Catholic community are not being fair to him on at least a few issues, most definitely on scrapping of Christian Holidays and to a large extent on the Inquisition VCD. By and large, Manohar Parrikar has done a fairly good job in answering the heap of questions but I can't say the same thing about Rajan though. Rajan acted more like an official interrogator and less like the Devil's Advocate that we all expected him to be. As such I have changed the title of this thread from Parrikar v/s Parrikar to Parrikar and Parrikar :-) I however say this not to criticize Rajan but so that he can improve upon on this in his next assignment. Rajan should take this in the positive light. Maybe we can expect him putting Digamber Kamat on the dock by grilling him better. Incidentally, I haven't watched the Hindi VCD as yet so maybe Manohar Parrikar is a star after all :-) Cheers Sandeep Heble
