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,...

Ragging on facebook - a vulgar story by media channels or a villain politics

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? I guess almost every person reading this article would have known about this fact. Our media system, having something called TRP tied a their neck to be pulled and demand for biased baseless news. Well, me being a common person have the right to express my feelings. By the way, I own the disclaimer to say that please don't file an FIR for this blog aticle or complain to Hon'ble Prime Minister of India. Story-line...

Third rape in 48 hours, victim burnt alive - you think you are secured ?

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. We just don't really care about anything that goes around without effecting us directly. A martyr's widow or mother, a raped girl, a jobless man, etc. feel the actual pain of living with the people like us. Rape - a victim knows the deathly attack - much bitter than poison. A 33-year-old woman was burnt alive after allegedly being raped in Etah district in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday. Her family alleged that five men first gangraped her and then lynched her...

Justice delayed for 30 years - not enough to be said as denied ?

We have always seen in movies that its really a person arrested and jailed gets justice after long terms of imprisonment. But here goes a real case that took me aback. After more than three decades, a former Army man got a reprieve from the Bombay high court in a case of possession of live cartridges. The HC set aside his one-year prison sentence and let him off with a Rs 5,000 fine. Laxman Jadhav (72) had been convicted under Section 25 of Arms Act, and was arrested in 1977 from his house in Sangli. Justice J. H. Bhatia set aside imprisonment keeping his age in mind....

The most stunning part was just out of any leaks that got its mirror on the face of our democracy. The claim that I got to access is about a WikiLeaks India cables that Manmohan Singh-led UPA government used cash to win trust vote in Parliament in 2008 over Indo-US nuclear deal.

Rotten food grains or Death due to starving - which one you prefer ?

Sometimes, I really run out of issues to blog about. But the very next moment comes knocking on my head, saying "dude, you are in India !" Oh, I really forgot and am never out of any issue. Corruption is a well- defined  issue in my last articles, but corruption in food system in a developing country like ours, is really a tension to be concerned about. One report showed dogs eating grain in UP, where poverty and malnourishment are rampant. Another showed sacks of wheat in Punjab rotting away outside warehouses. A third caught officials trying to burn grain because they hadn't been able...

Swami Nigamanand's fasting death - a slap on everyone of us

Swami Nigamanad in Hospital I am really finding it difficult myself to understand the way the citizens are dealt by the politicians in our country. Sometimes, some deeds make us to think of them as good (relax, even a little bit of goodness). But the very next moment blurs our thoughts into air, making us saying "after all you are a politician, no good of your kind !". Here, as the topic indicates, I am to blog about something that really pinched me and asked me to stop looking for TRPs like media and go for the mud beneath clear-seeming water. The unfortunate death of Swami Nigamanand is...

Dr. Abdul Kalam's Letter to Every Indian

Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures...

Can't our land acquisition system be more farmer friendly??

After all eye-catching issue on corruption prevailing in the blood of our society like a cancer that seems to be implacable, the next burning topic that seeks our attention is the land acquisition issues in India. The atrocities committed to the men of land - 'farmers' by the police, the men they knew as their protector, quaked the whole country one after the other incidents. Better be called as unfortunate events !  The Singur, Nandigram, Dhinkia,and Gobindpur are the stadiums that were used to play the game of industrialization on the tears of the poor people ! Obviously, the last two...

A Suggestive Agenda for better nation - policies with which politicians play games

Popular people like Ramdev ji or Anna Hazare ji who can reach the masses educated and uneducated alike.But as we had always seen that politicians make use of them to get them a better stage or come up with age-old process of personal attacks to get public support against them. They should first create a tumult of agendas like : Severe actions to put a full stop to Population boom burdening Mother INDIA. Enacting the sternest measures to minimize growth rate. Actually, India require a negative growth rate. This may sound very in-human but it can't be helped....

Baba Ramdev's eviction - "unfortunate and unavoidable" sad part of democracy

The country, that's known to the world as largest democracy, saw the devil face of its democracy. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev was evicted by police at midnight hours and thousands of followers were just tear gassed, lathi charged and cerfewed out. This was neither a political agitation nor a violence with 'bandhs'. It was just a 'satyagraha' of fasting for country. But the cruelty shown can put your breath to stop for a moment. It took them an year to act against A. Raja, 6 months to arrest Kalmadi and one day to detain Baba Ramdev ! Irony is PM had tons of evidence to enforce arrests, detain Raja...

Greenathon - an exclusive media-corporate initiative towards green world

I have been watching NDTV news channel for a long time. For more or less every time, I switched over to that channel, it was in front of my eyes. A very star-casted programme with green shades and templates around the display area of the channel. Its all about NDTV's Greenathon. The terminology at the very first instance leads us to think about something related to marathon about green. Yes, it is obviously so. But in a very awesum way, that king Khan and Priyanka Chopra couldn't resist. SRK & Priyanka Chopra  Greenathon was India's first ever nationwide campaign to leap towards the...

Corruption - The invisible murderer of democracy

The main cause that had moved me to come up with a plan of blogging to raise my voice for the cause of democracy was the anti-corruption movement going throughout the nation. I was actually planning to wait, design and choke out plans for my way of blogging. Just then happened the never expected massacre. The "ramlila maidan" massacre. The fiery night that led us to stand and view murder of democracy. The heinous event that media covered up as "drama". I guess every responsible citizen of this largest democracy knows what happened that night. Yet, I would surely cover it up again. No, not as...

Some stunning facts about CWG scams and corruptions

The Prime Minister has announced Shunglu committee to enquire into corruption in commonwealth games projects. CAG, CVC, ED, Income Tax CBI etc are already doing their enquiries. Has the Prime Minister lost faith in these agencies? It is not surprising. Let us look at the state of the enquiries going on so far. CVC is looking into just about 18 contracts or so, when there are thousands of contracts and much bigger ones. With the range of politicians facing allegations, CBI can be least entrusted to do an honest investigation, as it is directly under the government and takes its orders from the...

Focus on Forests as India Hosts World Environment Day and Me on This Blog

As I begin blogging here just a day after the World Environment Day, I can’t just avoid putting my first blog about the most important issue of the world - the Environmental issue.  The delay of flights due to huge dense smokes in higher altitudes of Europe (near Chile) is common issue on news channels. And one day or the other we see our ministers planting trees for the sake of nature (don’t know, may be its nature of publicity or sympathy gain). Whatever the cause may be, if that really benefits the eternal beauty, then we are always with it. But usually what we find is the planted trees...
