The Congress, the Sangh Parivar *and* the Janata Dal (Secular)... you're still not satisfied?? Well then, let me add that if you've really read my blog through, then you can't help but see that I am intensely political myself. So you're right - politics is everywhere, and it should be. However political machinations for the sake of power - and not the people - is what I detest. So no, I'm not clean, I don't claim to be, I'm neck deep in the politics of justice. :) Dear Trip: Wow, I thought this was the most politically balanced piece I’ve ever written - I’ve critiqued every one!
