INDIAN RAILWAYS - WAITING LIST 1

Image
Every february of a financial year we have a comedy show in the name of railway budget. This ritual has become a show to prove that the government and more particularly the railway minster is one among the poor and downtrodden. He/she always cares for the poor. The railways has now become an instrument of appeasement. I still regret the fact the British left India. They really were visionaries in every aspect. Be it the railways, seaways and airports they did a marvelous job. Infact our politicians have looted far more what the British stole from India. The railway ministry has defacto been marked to either the state of Bihar/Westbengal. How else can u justify the fact that the railway ministers are only from these two states for the past 10 years. The railway budget is a real shame on this country and its intellectual thinking. The southern states are the worst affected due to this poor leadership. The successive governments need to share the blame for this thinking. In all the succe

AAM ADMI AND HIS 2010 BUDGET

Image
Come February, the buzzword is ‘budget’. Even if the common man is least bothered, the English media keeps hyping it up. They want people to send feelers to our Finance Minister. It looks as if though u ask god a wish and he immediately grant the same to u. The aam admi very well knows that he is always the soft target and no one is really interested on him. The main beneficiaries are going to be the capitalists, hoarders, stock brokers and middle men. I need not mention about the typical Indian politician hiding in all the roles at various levels. Reckless spending on Social sector: Ever since the UPA took over, it has been spending recklessly on the social sector. I am not against spending on social sector. I too support the judicious spending on social sector for inclusive growth. But i underline the word reckless. The pet project of the UPA has been the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, where rural men and women are employed through the panchayat president or polit

A BOLD AND PROGRESSIVE STEP

Image
Many a times i have seen and heard about the discussions in the media about the role of women in the armed forces. Now they have started to play a role in the paramilitary forces too. The border security force,Central Industrial Security force and now the Indo Tibetian Border police have women in their armour. This is clearly a bold and progressive step in women's empowerment.

WHAT NEXT FOR AJMAL KASAB ?

Image
Every time I hear the name of Ajmal Kasab, my Blood pressure shoots up very badly.Not even a child in India needs a introduction about this terrorist,his blue t shirt and machine gun. He will not remember how many people he would have killed. Of course there is no need for him to keep a count. Today he can consider himself as the luckiest terrorist in the world.,better than Osama Bin Laden who has to hide in mountains and dens as a democratically elected government is treating this terrorist as its state guest. In the name of democracy,judiciary and fair trail, the government has given him a lawyer to defend. I cant understand what ajmal kasab and his lawyer have to defend? Are they going to say that some impersonation has taken place, he is not the man shown in the picture, and police have made a wrong arrest.One shocking fact is that the lawyer is paid a whooping 50,000 or 5000 rupees fees per month/per day as per media reports. Kasab's lawyer seems to have taught kasab the trick

WHEN A SOLUTION BECOMES PART OF THE PROBLEM...

Image
Various political parties are pondering the results of general elections 2009. One thing that is clear is that the people of India have given the Congress a mandate for a stable government to carry out economic reforms and improve the security environment of the country. Do not forget that the mandate is also for its social commitment policies like NREGA and other quota policies in education and employment.Well i am not going to analyze about the victory of the congress, rather i want to write about the principal opposition party, the BJP. One can say very confidently that when the election process started few months back, it was the BJP camp that was bubbling with confidence. Mind the word confidence,it was not over confidence like 2004. The BJP had put up shri L K Advani as its Prime ministerial candidate. It came to the field with issues ranging from security, economic recession, afzal guru, black money, price rise etc.All these issues were directly or indirectly affecting the commo

I always wanted to write a blog on my once favourite newspaper THE HINDU.Here is my story. Needless to introduce,'THE HINDU' prides itself as India's National newspaper since the middle of the 18th century. The mount road maha vishnu, as it was once called by the Tamil Nadu rationalists is giving testing time to its readers who have been behind it for generations together. If i am not wrong i started reading this newspaper when i was studying fourth standard in the early 90's only on saturdays and sundays. I still remember the paper boy/man for whom i used to wait from 7 am to 9 am. Our house was the last for him in his distribution list. My interest on this newspaper picked up slowly and i started reading articles,editorials very deeply . During the late 90's politics was not so communalized and secularized as it is now. Probably that may also be one of the reason why i feel that ' THE HINDU' today is more pseudo secular media than others.My all time favou
