Hello


Zore (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:17 IST)
MR Chandrashekhar: What do you feel, we have achieve in the last 50 years of independence???


Mr Balia (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:18 IST)
Honourable Sir, as one of those few politicians left in this country who understand what India is all about, I want to ask you: Do we need to despair about India's future and why?


Mark (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:19 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar: What is your opinion about the Congress party, do you think it will survive as united after 10 years?


Sambasivam S (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:20 IST)
Mananya Pradhan Mantriji: Do you think India will be united in 2047? Or will we have broken up into many parts?


A R Iyer (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:21 IST)
Good morning, Sir, I am deeply honoured to speak with you this historic morning. Mr Shekhar, what are the greatest dangers that confront our Republic today and how can they be overcome?


Kumar (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:21 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar, How long do you think the days of coalition government last? (Not this particular government, but coalitions with hung parliaments in general).


Raj (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:21 IST)
Jai Hind, Happy independence day to you all, is Mr Chandrashekhar ji in??


Raj (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:22 IST)
Chandrashekhar ji, what do you think about corruption in politics..what are your views on the Laloo affair!!


Shweta (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:24 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: I really admire of your ethical stands in politics. I was shocked to know that when you told in the Parliament that you preferred to go to jail rather than joining as one of the cronies of Ms Gandhi... Now can you tell us what were the factors that led you to do that? Was Ms Gandhi so rude and dictator?


suwarn (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:24 IST)
Jai Hind Jai Bharat


Mark (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:24 IST)
WOULD you be a part of congress government if the party comes to power again after the fall of Gujral government which many people feel is round the corner?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:28 IST)
Namaste Everyone! Is Chandra Shekarji come in??

Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:35 IST)
Yes, actually here is an AB concert either tomorrow, or there was one tonight. I attended an AID (Association for India's Devlopmen) candlelight vigil. It is a humanitarian society.


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:35 IST)

Rediff (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:36 IST)
Nirav: This is Nikhil here. My colleagues have been with Mr Shekhar from 0930 hours. We expect the former prime minister to be online anytime now...


Major (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:37 IST)
shekhar is an ass hole. After all he is also a politician like Lallo,kesri and other jokers


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:37 IST)
Sriram: When had u been to Bharat LAst?


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:37 IST)
I have been to India about two years ago, ten times in my life so far.


Major (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:38 IST)

Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:40 IST)
Sriram: Tell me one thing true, How's ur feeling about India now?? Is it really patriotic yet?


Major (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:40 IST)
shekharji is talking to chandraswami


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:41 IST)
Major: hahahah.. good one :)


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:42 IST)
Shekharji is talking to kesarji on cell phone. Kesariji wants to support chandrashekharji for Prime minister ship :>


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:43 IST)
I, like all of you, am very patriotic about India. At the candlelight vigil I attended today I felt very good about being alive to celebrate India's 50th. So much is changing, yet a lot remains to be done. It seems here that there is more achieved and to achieve today than there was 50 years ago.


Major (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:44 IST)
chandrashekher, isn't chandraswami your friend


Major (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:46 IST)
sriram, don't include me. I m ashamed of being indian


Mark (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:46 IST)
Would you support the Congress govt if it comes to power after the fall of Gujral govt which many people see is round the corner?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:47 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: When ya said 95% of indian population earn there livelihood by hard labour, Did you include yourself and rest of the politicians in that number ?


Vishwas (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:47 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar: Do you regret for not being in congress party today??


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:47 IST)
Hon. Chandrashekarji>> how about the Prime Minister's assurance of a peaceful India ? How far do u think is it true?


A R Iyer (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:47 IST)
So you don't think corruption is a major issue to combat in our time? Are you not, Sir, a little dislocated from reality when you say only 5 % of the Indian people are corrupt? When is the last time you tried to get a phone or gas connection?


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:49 IST)
Chandrashekharji, I appreciate your taking some responsibility for the situation. My question is what went wrong? Where did your generation lose it. The lofty ideals bequeathed on you by great leaders?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:49 IST)
Chandrashekarji>> Tell me that Are politicians corrupt basically or they have to be corrupt(?)


Vishwas (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:50 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar: In the liberalisation era, will you agree today there is no way that you can go back on reforms. And if you agree to that. Will you agree that India has diverted itself from the path of socialism which was the one of the pillars of constitution???


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:50 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: Mr Devegowda claims that he is humble former but he is working like a fumble harmer to detroy UF government. Do ya think with all your humbleness that Mr Gowda is doing the right thing ?


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:50 IST)
Guys he is corrupted too. He has luxurious ashram in india. Ask him where he got all the money


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:52 IST)
Chandrashekarji,Consider me a lay person in India and tell me wot can i do,be it little, to improvise the present scenario?


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:53 IST)
don't tell bullshit to Nirav. I know your friend in Bombay, who is filthy rich and displays his wealth


suwarn (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:54 IST)
Sir, Why the parlimentarians these days have became more indisciplined and uncultured


Sambasivam S (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:54 IST)
Chandra Shekharji, you have still not answered my question. Does India have a future? What are the great challenges confronting its future?


Mr Balia (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:55 IST)
You have been an opponent of liberalisation. Why? It is socialists like you, Sir, who have trapped India in the Middle Ages.


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:55 IST)
Hon. Chandrashekarji: HOw r u celebarting the 50 th year and do u have some major plans up your sleeve or is it be just going to be as any normal year? If u have any plan..Please elaborate.


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:55 IST)
like politician u r avoiding my questions and comments.


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:56 IST)
Bhootpurva pradhanmantri ji, Is it not true that you have lot of your close friends, and followers, who are either themselves involved in criminal activity or give shelter to criminals?


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:57 IST)
Chandrashekharji, I remember a skirmish outside your home after the 89election. I know you deplore such actions. But how do you instill the right morals in party workers. How do you or should you recruit the budding politician? There are so many capable young people but how can you attract them into the political mainstream?


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:57 IST)
It is true kkk


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:58 IST)
Do you think that people in rest of the world do not know about the caste based politics in eastern UP, and your role in it?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:58 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: Are we gonna see an end to destructive politics at the national level in a very near future ?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 22:59 IST)
Chandrashekarji>> Theres one thing which troubles me everytime I think about.Look at the case of Bihar..wots happening Rabari became CM ..Whos dunnit?? Does Mr. Laloo has the right to do so? If yes, who's given him the right to do so?


Vishwas (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:0 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: Why did you pledge India's gold reserves to the Bank of England. Under what circumstances you were forced to do so???


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:0 IST)
I think india should be divided in 4-5 countries. Do you agree


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:1 IST)
honest: over ma dead body


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:1 IST)
How is it that Gulzari Lal Nanda had to live in a rented accomodation, while you live in so called ashram, which is more like a themed five star hotel.


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:1 IST)
somesh, fine with me


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:1 IST)
Honest... you're SCREAMING for attention


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:2 IST)
ChandraShekharji, how active are you these days in politics? Do yo think you have a lot of good advice to offer. If so what? I am asking this considering the fact that you were also very much a part of divisionalist politics.


Sanjay Mahajan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:2 IST)
I have a simple question to ask. What you intend to do about the only two chronic problems - Corruption and Poppulation. Why politicians don't wage a war against these ?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:2 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: If rabri can become chief minister , will ya mind if Phoolan devi or aurn gawli become prime minister of india ?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:3 IST)
Chandrashekarji >> Tell me who should we look up in India for taking inspiration for taking this country in the 21st century??


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:3 IST)
honest: n i will shoot ya before i die :-)


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:4 IST)
Hon. Chandrashekarji..Today's speech of the Prime Minister Mr. Gujral was not so encouraging and inspirative. Gimme your views.


Vishwas (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:5 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar: Do you think former President Shankar Dayal Sharma was justified in asking for Rs 40 lakh for furnishing his house. Inspite of being a Gandhian, do you think it was ethical on his part to do so???


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:5 IST)
Why do you feel thatecents in Bihar are not shem on indian democracy? Your opposition to Indira Gandhi might have been on issues but how come you are in support of Rabri as CM of Bihar?


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:5 IST)
somesh, your contract is expired. Pack your bags


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:6 IST)
Who, 50 years ago, would have hought we'd be celebrating India's half-century mark at a keyboard? What do you think, sir? Freakshow or the future?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:6 IST)
All the ppl put here. Give ur views on The largest democracy in the World!


honest (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:7 IST)
kill politicians and get the military


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:7 IST)
That it is the largest democracy in the world is both its greatest asset and its most miserable failure. Everyone has a voice, but the nation has no direction.


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:7 IST)
ChandraShekharji, what is the best way to enter politics and be successful at it?


Lionel (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:8 IST)
Somesh-HI!,& U missed out VEERAPPAN,I am sure he will be our next HERO no 1


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:8 IST)
honest: dont worry, arun gawli is ma friend. :-)


kalyan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:8 IST)
Chandrashekharji, what do you think is more harmful to the country - casteism or communalism? Why is it that BJP is criticised for being communal and other parties are let off for being casteist?


Sanjay Mahajan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:9 IST)
Till Indians can't be proud of being Indian and working FOR India, it's useless to talk about democracy or India


samajwadi (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:9 IST)
chandrashekharji, your own govt. was a minority govt. & now we are seeing a spade of coilition govts. coming & going, for a country like ours can we afford such instabilit, also the periodic threat of elections.


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:9 IST)
Lionel: ya r right... Once criminals become politicians we not gonna need polic any more. They can take care among themselves :-)


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:9 IST)
ChandraShekharji, but why didn't the current corps of politicians largely ignore Gandhiji's messages? What went wrong?


kalyan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:10 IST)
Chandrashekharji, don't you think Arun Shourie is unfairly attacked for his book on Ambedkar?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:10 IST)
Sriram >>I totally agree with you . Do u have some solution to this? :)


kas (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:10 IST)
Namate sir, Don't you think that we could have achieved more but for those politicians(around 80-90%) who are people without self r5espect and integrity?


Sanjay Mahajan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:10 IST)
Chandrashekharji, Please tell me why don't politicians wage a war against Corruption and (rising) Population ?


Vishwas (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:10 IST)
Chandra Shekharji: Do you sincerely believe that Gandhi's rural economy would have solved India's problem rather than Nehru's stupid socialsim???


amol (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:11 IST)
vande mataram fellow chatters. is mr. chandrashekhar still in?


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:12 IST)
Our leaders have been using these words to blackmail the illiterate populace. Why is it that none of the prime minister wants to contest from urban areas like Delhi, Bombay etc? Where is democracy, when Mr Chandra Shekar contest from a thakur dominated area, or a constituency is picked for a PM, where development is least? Is it not easy to fool the people, if they do not have access to modern education and other resources?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:12 IST)
Sanjay Mahajan: allow me answer ur question. Politicians don't wage war against corruption and population because: 1. Majority of them are corrupt and have swiss bank account. 2. They all have more than 2 children.


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:13 IST)
Vishwas: that Gandhian-agrarian myth has no foothold in today's global world. It is the better way for humankind, but no 21st century India. Yes, we are headed for a self-determined apocalypse and Nehru's socialism both justifies and ensure it.


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:13 IST)
ChandraShekharji, in your capacity as a successful politician, having occupied the highest office, what would your advice be for an aspiring politician? What qualities would that take?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: why ya r not answering my straight forward and thought provoking questions? Are they too much for you handle :-)


samajwadi (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
chandrashekharji, your own govt. was a minority govt. & now we are seeing a spade of coilition govts. coming & going, for a country like ours can we afford such instabilit, also the periodic threat of elections


amol (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
namaskar chandrashekhar ji. how are you this 50th independece day? can you seriously say that we have much to celebrate about? any views on this others.


MANNYVANNAN (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
Hi, Good Afternoon everybody. Gee, Let me know what is going on in India. Every day bombing or kidnapping. When we will be free from this? Already we finished 50 year ID. I hope within 25year these things will not be there. What do you say?


amol (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
namaskar chandrashekhar ji. how are you this 50th independece day? can you seriously say that we have much to celebrate about? any views on this others.


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:14 IST)
Chandrashekarji >> Wot sir, do u think of the coalition government (BJP-Shiv Sena) ?I hardly think it is a coalition! The government's working just on one person's order(!)? Do u think,sir,is this fair?


Lionel (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:15 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar-Mahatma Gandhi,Panditiji,Sardar Patel & many of the STALWARTS of that era,provided us with strong foundations for our 1st 50 years.Who will do it now,? I do not think the foundations provided by-ikg,gowda,lalloo,rabri,kesri,hegde etc,etc,etc are strong enough to last us another 5 years from today.What is your opinion on this?


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:15 IST)
You are right Sanjay, But these politicians want them to be bihari, bengali first, hindu muslim next, tahkur pandit next and then suryavanshi, chandravanshi next or even furhtur ...


Sanjay Mahajan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:16 IST)
Somesh : Thanks for the answer But then who will clear the country of these problems of epic proportions. Politics is also not a place for you or me who think about India but don't hv the resources or the muscle to enter politics


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:16 IST)
NIRAV:: my solution would be a constitutional reform that eliminates the uncertain election-cycles and instates a periodic election cycle like the US. In this manner, the government would be forced to reconcile its minority and majority forces, without the ever-present cheap solution to call yet another election.


Mr Balia (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:17 IST)
Prime Minister, do you think India will be united in 2047? Or will we just break up like the Soviet Union?


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:18 IST)
Chadrashekharji, I gather from your earlier remark that you do not think corruption is the worst malice facing the country. Is it then communnalism. Do you see a threat to the integrity of the country?


Gopinath (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:18 IST)
Sir, why dont you go on a fast, in the true Gandhian style, against corruption in high places?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:19 IST)
Sriram: Do u think that with so many ppl around,is it possible to implement ur solution here in India?


MANNYVANNAN (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:19 IST)
Mr Ex-Primeminister of India, Why software engineers are going out of India to work?


clinton (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:20 IST)
chandra who is the best prime minister in last 50 years


A R Iyer (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:20 IST)
Mr Shekhar, what ablout the North-East? Do you believe that it will slip out of India's control like Kashmir?


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:20 IST)
Mr ChandraShekhar, your answers are like a babu's response to the problem. Unfortunately. I have been in the service of Government of India, and somewhat familar with the kind of language used for plan, files and noting. Can you throw some light on the Bihar happenings? Do you think, it is morally right for rabri devi to become CM?


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:21 IST)
NIRAV::So many people? All that needs to be done is to call an electoral referendum to decide to ammend the constitution. Minorities will agree that it will better serve their interests to have a government system that at allows them a foothold in governmen for a guaranteed amount of time.


Lionel (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:21 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar-We R one of the poorest countries in the world,the most indisciplined,among the most corrupt & U still speak of Democracy being the right form of govt for us.Democracy has failed us & we have to accept this.Maybe Democracy with a Dhanda will work,but this Dhanda should be applicable to the ruling elite & the politicians too.What do U say on this one?


Nirav (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:22 IST)
All Indians out here. Dont u all feel it is REAL bad that in the map of India,the northen part(Kashmir),our own Kashmir,is being shown as a disputed territory? Why should we allow that???


Sheetal Ramalingam (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:22 IST)
Mr Shekhar, in your opinion, what are the main threats to Idnia's unity? What do you think about Hindu and Muslim fundamentalism? Does it seem a threat to you?


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:22 IST)
Mr Chandrashekhar: Don't you think that presidential form of government will be better for india? Atleast, president wil have more power than primeminister to take strong executive decisions.


clinton (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:23 IST)
I think kashmir belongs to pakis


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:23 IST)
ChandraShekharji, while you were in th parliament as PM, were appalled at the lack of business conducted in the house? It seems that most delibrations are on transfers and appointments. Real issues take the sidelines as they are nobody's personal ones. Do you see that changing?


kkk (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:23 IST)
Dear Clinton, you never saw the slogan chalees saal banam chae mahine .. Our great friend compared his 4 months of prime ministership, in which from LPG gas connection to telephone to petrol pumps, eveything was on sale, with 40 years of rule, inclusive of Nehru and Shastri.

Mr Chandrashekhar, don't you think your minority govt started the trend of all these minority, unstable govts at the mercy of larger parties.


MANNYVANNAN (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:25 IST)
Honorable MP, Do you think India will achieve the status of a developed country within the next 50 years ?


Lionel (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:26 IST)
CLINTON-HI!- R U Suggesting the BEGINING of the END for our COUNTRY.& I am sure U R aware that the Pakis too, do not belong to Pakistan.


Somesh (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:26 IST)

LEGALIZE CORRUPTION! IT IS BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE LEADERS. OFFERINGS TO YOUR GURU LIKE IT SAYS IN THE MAHABHARATHA. IT IS THE ONLY "MADE IN INDIA" PRODUCT WITH QUALITY

Honorable MP, Do you think India will achieve the status of a developed country within the next 50 years ?

Chandrashekharji, a good supporter of yours and a very capable man, Yashwant Sinha moved over to the BJP. Do you have any comments over that? I know he stood by you during the 89 and after.


Sriram (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:27 IST)
Goodbye all and Mr. Chandra Shekhar. Happy 50 and goodnight... or good morning, if you're in India.


MANNYVANNAN (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:27 IST)
you got it somesh


Kalyan (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:28 IST)
Chandrashekharji, what do you think of the presidential form of govt? Don't you think that will remove some of the corruption, instabilty and evils like casteist politics, frequent elections and blackmail by supporting parties etc. I think that'll also ensure we have some large parties and none of the small and divisive regional or communal parties.


ravikc (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:28 IST)
ChaderShekhar, would you leave with out any advice for todays youth? Please?


Lionel (Thu Aug 14 1997 23:29 IST)
Mr Chandra Shekhar-Why is it that we have the only POLITICIANS that do not have an agenda for the bettermant of our COUNTRY?

Uniting hindus is communal, but what about courting other religious groups? If you can name BJP, how about those parties, which are pursuing castiest politics. In the name of Democracy, can you allow these fissiperous tendencies?
