What a strong reply from deepak to friend. Well said deepak.
India has its own merits and demerits and those who talk bad about india should refrain from doing the same.
Sandeep Gupta January 6, 2010 at 5:10 pm
In china No one use fake name to comment like you did here!!
China is not a Democratic country so dont compare it with India.
They don’t require to use fake name as there is no copy write law.
India is a Democratic Country >> means >> you will be controlled by white topi wale.

Minister Raja must not have kickbacks enough stashed away. I predict it’ll probably be postponed till Summer before he spreads his butt cheeks to bless us all with his wisdom.
Sayantan January 6, 2010 at 1:54 pm
It now become a routine for DOT to postpone the auction.I am just laughing while reading the article.They are shameless,total shameless.
How they reach that position in which they are currently?That position deserves some responsible people.

Ishaq January 6, 2010 at 1:31 pm
We Indians are familiar with the rescheduling.I think they are delaying for helping bsnl and mtnl to get more 3g customers.
