Government, Politics and Corruption

From 1989 to 2013, from Bofors to IPL spot fixing scams, the part that has remained (and shall be remaining) constant is to protect the powerful. The parliamentary committees ever formed in all such massive scams have done their best in maintaining the constant scenario. This, in turn, has resulted in a complete failure to fix the accountability, or in other words, “who” kept the “how much” in “where”. The amazing part of all is how one after another scams of better numbers are getting divulged and the way strings are being pulled to cause distraction or a cloud around it....

Attack on Prashant Bhushan - a fascism and justice together ??

Mr. Prashant Bhushan, beside Anna Hazare On the one hand we are against physical attacks, like the one on Prashant Bhushan, whatever the provocation. But, unfortunately, the Prasanth Bhushans and Arundathi Roys of the world evoke such extreme reactions from common people owing to their "cynical", "short sighted" and "sadistic" views on critical issues related to national security. These so called upholders of secularism seem to have no time for the thousands of army, para military and police personnel who have laid down their lives, in the line of duty, fighting insurgents and anti-nationals,...

In a social networking site, a person can send chat message to anyone only if he/she is a friend of the person. Now, if anyone uses abusive language on the site, can it be termed as ragging?

All the events in our country one after the other are just being looking as if they have become natural. Nothing moves us from our daily life.
