Why this hullabaloo over the Oreva Company official’s description of the Mourvi tragedy as an ‘act of God’? When the local municipality handed over the repair, management and control of the footbridge to this company on a Rs. 300 stamp, lock, stock and barrel, did they not anoint the officials of the company as veritable…

आम नेताजी का भाषण (व्यंग्य धन फोकट चेक)
“किसी ने पूछा कि जी आप कह रहे हो कि दिल्ली में जनरेटर की दुकानें बंद हो गईं, तो क्या वो दुकानदार बेरोजगार हो गए ? क्या वो झक मार रहे हैं ? मैंने बताया नहीं जनाब वो आजकल सपने खरीद रहे हैं, और झूठ बेच रहे हैं । बढ़िया धंधा है ! अपने-अपने शहरों…
SREE IYER’s WHO PAINTED MY MONEY WHITE? – Subramanian Swamy Unplugged!
Sree Iyer might be a gossipmonger-cum-conspiracy theorist but not everything that he hints at or alleges in “Who Painted My Money White?” is a result of the flight of his fancy. His revelations and innuendos regarding ISI’s three-pronged strategy of weakening India through fake currency racket, drug trade and love jihad are rooted in reality….
Say Sorry to Sammy, but Tell Him This
“Why is Radha so fair, why was I born dark?”,lamented Krishna. Or did he? Perhaps he was just play-acting, or better enough, complaining to Yashoda, his mother, about being taunted at by his friends and gopis. (Radha kyun gori,mein kyun kala) Indians think nothing about teasing even their most loved God with jibes over colour!…

पैदल ही पलायन- जलेबी में उलझे या मकड़जाल में फसे ?
संभ्रांत रसोइयों में आजकल जलेबियाँ तक तली जा रही हैं । यही जलेबियाँ खुल-खुलाकर सड़कों पर रेंग रहे गरीब प्रवासी मजदूरों को उनके गावों-कस्बों का मार्ग दिखा देती हैं । संभ्रांत वर्ग जितना ठूस-ठूस कर खा रहा है , उसे पचा पाना उसके लिए पेचीदा समस्या है । जिनके अपार्टमेंटों के अंदर या छतों पर…
One Nation, Two Polls – A More Workable Idea Than One Nation ,One Poll
The Prime Minister has thrown his weight behind the idea of One Nation, One Poll (ONOP). This is not a new concept but was the norm till 1967, with the exception of Kerala, where the first non-Communist government was unceremoniously dismissed by Nehru Government in 1959. But the election scenario in India has now…

SILENT CRUSADES – The License to Kill Hinduism ?

Mizoram, Nagaland and Meghalaya are now considered as Christian states.It is not just because their Christian population is more than 90 percent ,but also that the Church plays a crucial role in their socio-political landscape .Right from the question of…
QUOTAS-If South Africa and Lebanon Can ,Why Can’t India ?
Q uotas in legislatures ,government jobs and educational institutions were resented by a majority of Indian population till the late 80s.The myth of ‘merit’ was conceived and circulated to spread fear , paranoia ,opposition and hatred towards the policy of reservations for SC-STs.The quotas in legislatures were originally mandated only for ten years and have…
A Just Society
All humans are not born equal.They differ in their physical and mental attributes.These innate differences cant be wished away. Even when shorn of all social relations and economic wealth,humanity doesn’t start its journey on an equal footing. Are genes to be blamed for this inequality ? Far too often we have seen children exhibiting traits…
