I think he stepped out of India for the first time in his life. In that case he is right.

Van der Merwe Sunday, 18 August 2013 06:07 AM

Very mush so. Hearts of some people are dirty and stinking thanks to rotten and ugly politicos.

'less dirty' would be more appropriate Ranbir, less dirty and clean give two different meanings.

Thanks Ranbir. Having visited India more than 30 times, this country is a PARADISE. But this statement being used to cover the nudity of the government is what irritates our readers. WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY BUT TOTALLY DISLIKE THE RULERS, is the message emanating from all comments. via DM Android App

Porky Pig Saturday, 17 August 2013 03:15 PM

Our mother Lanka is clean but the politicos are unclean.

Nodrog Sunday, 18 August 2013 04:51 AM

The rulers are garbage but overall, our country is clean so why all the negative comments?

Sandun Sunday, 18 August 2013 04:53 AM

Both criticizing and appreciating are equally important to be a noble and unprejudiced citizen. But hypocrites can never admire any commendable initiatives taken by anyone.

Suq Madique Sunday, 18 August 2013 04:55 AM

Are we are the only country with blood on the streets?? Open your eyes and your mind man!!
