Stung….ouch!!!

The sting operation carried out by News channel Aaj tak and a internet website cobrapost.com is hurting each political party equally. Though its not the first time that such an operation has stripped our shameless politicians but there is a difference this time. The tainted MPs are not from any single political party, the sting executors have shrewdly selected chunks of MPs from all the major national political parties. The approach these parties will adopt to target other parties when their own integrity is in question would be worth watching.

The sting executors should be declared as public servants and a part of tax that citizens pay to the government should be paid to them as salary because its actually social service what these brave men are doing risking their lives for a better future. These operations should be intensified and their scope also should be widened to encompass all the facets of corruption. The scale of these operations should be so large that even a greedy thought will be petrifying.

I am posting this article on 13th December, it was on the same day four years before that 9 security guards laid down their lives for the safety of these very MPs who were sitting in the Indian parliament after it was attacked by Pak based terrorists. I think every MP sitting there has betrayed the martyrs and the spirit of Nationalism. I hope that they prove in times to come that the sacrifices made were worth it.

Small things...Big issues.

“Small things in life hurt more. You can sit on a mountain but u cannot sit on a pin”
-Anonymous.

When I first heard this quote I laughed but after sometime I realized that it’s a fact. Small things in life can make u cry and they are actually the ones which can ruin your life. I have seen best of friends fighting each other for a petty reason leading to bitterness in the minds. Relationships can also fail if we accumulate small drops which can actually turn into a devastating tide.

I have a simple funda in life… I like to clear any small issues that bother me. Its better to speak about it and clear it off rather than keeping them in mind and then risking any relationship. This is a simple way to keep life hassle free.

Apharan

Saw the movie Apharan yesterday… Though initially I found it to be interesting, it turned up to be a boring and predictable after an hour…. I was actually expecting more from Prakash Jha… I had loved Gangajal and I wanted to see some good stuff related to the Bihar-UP Mafia…

Bollywood was mainly focused on the Mumbai underworld…but recently there were a couple of good films concentrating on the North Indian Mafia…”Sehar” was a good movie based on a similar theme but sadly it didn’t do well at the box office. I would like to see more and more films on the topic.

Irrational Bias

Are the sacrifices made by the soldiers during peace time less than those made in the war time? At least the Indian Government feels so. The compensation paid by the government to the families of the soldiers who die or get injured during peacetime is much less than those who die in a war. This discrimination done against a group of soldiers can lower the morale of the men in uniform.

Today when the army is finding it hard to attract people to join the forces, these irrational policies will scare away the potential aspirants.

Reservations against Reservations

Union HRD minister Arjun Singh is on an appease-the-minority spree. His idiotic plan includes giving Muslims reservations in premier Engineering Institutions (IITs) and Management Institutions (IIMs). God forbid but if he is successful in doing so, it will be the first time in India that there will be reservations based on religion. I am supportive to steps taken in direction of educating more and more Muslims but reserving seats in premier technical and management institutions will just benefit a handful few among the community. If the government really wants to uplift the whole Muslim community then it should do it at the grass root level. It should modernize the Madarsas where generally maximum Muslim children get educated. As it is an open secret that the most of the Madarsas polarize the young Muslim minds, they all should be brought under a common governing body which should be headed by the Muslims scholars and not clergy. This will make all the students more open minded and rational.


I am against any kind of reservations for any caste or religion. Reservations should only be provided to people from the Economically Backward Class because a poor Bramhin is as under-privileged as a poor Dalit or Muslim. The documents provided for the same should be meticulously scrutinized and only then the student should be allowed to avail the benefit.

Government seems to be in no mood of reducing the existing levels of reservations as was suggested by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Instead it is now planning to include Muslims in the beneficiary list and also extrapolating the reservation domain to the private sector. This is surely going to hinder the economic growth of our nation.
