What ails women's reservation bill?

Why are the leaders of the so called democratic parties holding a whip in their hands against any reservation for the OBC and Muslim women within the 33%? Why didn't the women protesting outside the House during the discussion on the WR Bill demand any reservation for the OBC and the Muslim women? Or even differently abled and such other category women? Why were some media barons worried about the rotation system as if it was some invention?

April Fool by Manmohan Singh

What an April Fool Sir(dar)jee!

That was my prompt reaction when on the 1st April 2010 the PM announced that the Children's Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 has come into effect. For your information the famous Tenancy Act (promising land to the tiller) was also promulgated on 1st April 1957 which has in the end left the small & marginal farmers and the tenants both landless and given birth to a modern corporate Zamindari system.

Wat en Idea Sir(dar)jee!!!

Equality in corruption

Sure, the overall scenario on the Indian political arena is dismal but there is one relief. It demolishes the media generated myth that India needs foreign educated political elites who speak English with British or American accents. They are in fact far more advanced than the Dehati leaders in corruption. No doubt democracy is a powerful egalitarian force.

Capital Punishment. Who comes first?

The demand for doing away with capital punishment is like an iceberg. At the base of it is a fundamental premise -- life is precious and no state can take it away as it has neither given it nor can it restore it.
This position questions several other practices, the right of the police to shoot a suspect of a serious crime who is evading arrest, firing on a rioting crowd, or on a rally of protesting citizens. Obviously then these too must be abolished as unlike the death punishment these are blatant instances of killing people without even a nominal trial. What do you say?
