However the hell did he "save" India's honour?!? India's honour was never at stake! Those belongings of that great man are not the things people should stick to! People should stick to his morals and teachings and stuff!

I completely agree with your post. Its his teachings which need to be carried forward (though I believe a few of them need to be modified as per today's world).

But it'd surely be a matter of shame if we couldn't even save his belongings. Somewhere else I saw that Congress has 'bought' the rights to 'Jai Ho' song for 100million (1 crore). How sick is that??!!! The Govt. could've sent some representative on its behalf since it could not haf participated.

UPA Govt. is taking credit for everything, Slumdog Millionaire.. now this.. I guess if at this rate they blindly take credit for everything they may end up being caught by US for taking 'credit' for some Al-Qaeda bombings

Screw all political parties, screw all politicians. I regret that Dec. 2001 attacks on the Parliament were a failure

Read this:-
Quote:
Yesterday, a man donated a picture of Gandhi with his friends in childhood days. The man found the picture in a scrap market. The seller was unaware of what the picture was, and the man then bought the picture for a measly Rs. 200 compared to 1.8m$ and the kind man donated it to Gandhi's Ashram. He refused to take anything for his generosity. But finally, the people persuaded him to take Rs. 500.

Where do you people get time to think and make conclusins for the Govt. or any individual???? when we all dont know the inside story of anything. It true that in India, if anything is free;its giving opinion.
