Stop communal, divisive and hate politics - Petition indian - 17-MAR-2009
Moderator's Note #1: Not deleting this post to showcase it as an example of something that may not fit one or more of our posting guidelines. Praja posts should be fact driven (not opinions), and should be local in "real" sense. Local is something at the level of mains and crosses, or citizen's issues specific to a given city. We are not here to discuss nationwide issues or ideologies because we can't realistically do much about them, at least not right now. Also, posts should not be pure promotion of your favorite websites (please do that via your profile, or signature, but not posts). Remember, the philosophy we promote is "think and act local, really really local", that is how all changes begin. |
