There’s no doubt in my mind that what India needs is a dozen Dr Subramanian Swamys. One Dr Swamy is definitely not enough. Why? Because the garbage which needs taking out cannot be done by one person, however brilliant, hardworking and committed. But for now, let us thank our lucky stars that India has Dr Swamy at least. He has the nature of a warrior, a karma yogi. But he is also a gyan yogi. With that said for the record, I would like to share with you a few videos of his you must watch.

Now the sheer awfulness of the crime has transcended human comprehension.
