		Yet the democratic idea has penetrated the Indian political imagination and has begun to corrode the authority of the social order and of a paternalistic state." And with equity won, members are being themselves without any sense of embarrassment or terminal hatred.

	SAPRA INDIA: Terrorism Issues: Terrorist Attack on Parliament: Striking at the heart of Indian Democracy
		Although, the upper house of the Parliament had been adjourned nearly thirty minutes before the attack, the report suggested that the terrorists would not have known that the house had been adjourned and they would have presumed that the Prime Minister was still in the Rajya Sabha as scheduled.
		Indian foreign secretary Chokila Iyer summoned the Pakistan High Commissioner Ashraf Jehangir Qazi in New Delhi and demanded that the leadership of both the organisations be taken into custody and their access to financial assets be stopped immediately.
		Indian security agencies investigating the terrorist attack on Parliament House have now gathered evidence which suggests that the terrorist attack on 13 December 2001 had indeed been planned by militants based in Pakistan.

		The Indian constitution is clear that the proceedings in parliament are not subject to judicial scrutiny.
		Parliament and the supreme court of India are poised for a confrontation over the issue of expulsion of 11 members of parliament (MPs) involved in cash-for-question scam.
		Since privileges of the Indian parliament and its members (Article 105 [3]), until so defined, are those of the house of commons; it is very much the privilege of parliament to expel its member.

	Parliament must assert its role
		Unfortunately, this has conveyed to the Indian public the false and comfortable feeling that the legislation as it stands today is benign to India, and all the negative clauses which the national critics of the deal have worried about have been eliminated.
		Parliament, members of the Cabinet, and almost all the rest of the bureaucracy and the general public had no inkling of what is being negotiated, ostensibly for the purpose of "enhancing energy security" and for the larger good of the country by leading it into the US camp.
		Therefore, just as the US Congress did in their interest, it is time that the Indian Parliament also wakes up to the need for this deal to be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny and approval in the Indian national interest.

	Why Freedom (Independence) for Tamil Nadu from Indian Rule?
		While the voices of freedom are thus choked off, the Indian government (controlled and dominated by Hindi politicians irrespective of which party is in power and who the Prime Minister is) uses all its power and resources to tell the people that India is an ancient country with an ancient culture and heritage.
		Indian government, which says that Tamil Nadu is an integral part of India, has a responsibility to provide cultural support to these communities in the form of Tamil cultural exchanges and Tamil cultural missions through the Indian embassies.
		This is why the Indian government, dominated and controlled by Hindi politicians, tries its best to choke off voices of freedom and uses all its power and propaganda machinery to spread the lie of one-ness of India that never existed before the British conquest, consolidation and colonial rule.
