I was thinking if reservation can really help underprivileged then let's extend the same concept to each and every field. And this post here from Lavanya explains the same.

A lot of heated argument is taking place about Mandal II bill. Well!! here is my two bit for the protest of this bill with some reasoning’s. Negatives of having reservation!! Entrenching reservation on basis of Caste directly attacks the national unity, it will do nothing but create further divisions between the untouchables and upper cast. Those that deserve the seat through merit will be at a

I stumbled across this news today and stumbled further as I read it. It sounded funny in the beginning and I laughed my heart out at the imagination of Mr. Shakeel Ahmad, Minister of State for IT and Telecom, as I read the complete post. At the end of the post I was trying to find out something that would say “April Fool” or something…. Then I realized, no it’s not April yet and the guy is

Most of us Jamshedpurian’s are aware and feel proud that Jamshedpur has been selected as the pilot city for Global Compact City program. There is no doubt that Jamshedpur is one among some of the very few cities in India where the living standard, the social culture, the environment is not good but “Best”. I myself have grown up and spent 18 years of my life there, till I was forced to move out

I couldn’t understand why R.P. Singh was awarded the Man of the Match Award for the second test in Faisalabad. It’s understandable that award could not go in favor of batsman, because the pitch was in their favor and so it becomes imperative that any good work from the bowler’s side be rewarded, but then why not Zaheer Khan? He took 7 wickets and R.P. Singh took 5. They both bowled almost the

When the Central Government passed the RTI (Right to Information Act) bill sometime back, I was more than happy. For I knew this is one among several good measures taken by the Government that would help crib the corruption and expose frauds. And a true example is right here. All we need now is to make good utilization of this act and help make India better.

SC has sent a notice to Mulayam Singh Yadav, seeking explanation for the wealth/property acquired by him/his family members and for allegedly accumulating wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. This is the list of his properties as was presented by Indian Express: In the name of Mulayam Singh Yadav • 23,876.325 sq feet, converted to freehold by paying Rs 40.6 lakh to Lucknow

This is one fine piece of article I received via mail from a friend, on Jamshedpur and the role TATA has played in maintaining and developing the city. Lakshmi Mittal speaks : "I visited Jamshedpur over the weekend to see for myself an India that is fast disappearing despite all the wolf-cries of people like Narayanamurthy and his ilk. It is one thing to talk and quite another to do and I am

A lot was said during the infamous “Shakti Sting” operation that the conduct of trespassing into private spaces should not be allowed. Noted Director Mahesh Bhatt opposed the Sting Operation and went ahead to say that it was aimed at "catching eyeballs" and boosting TRP ratings. Condemning the way the sting operation was conducted, director Sawant Kumar had said, "had the actor been caught luring

So, the politicians of India are up at it again. As if, changing of names of institutions, gardens and streets were not enough, a new trend has started - Changing names of cities. After Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai finally it’s Bangalore. The Karnataka government has 'finally' decided to rename Bangalore to Bengaluru !! Well, how does it matter? Perhaps Calcutta has eradicated poverty after

A recent statement from newly elected Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on spat between Maharashtrians and non-Maharashtrians at Mumbai’s J J Hospital campus is something to applaud for. This is what he said: “Mumbai, being the economic capital of the country, is built on the efforts of all Indians and people from Bihar have contributed immensely to it. Like the national capital Delhi, the economic capital

I had written about the reservations in Educational institutions some time back and about the fight between the SC and the Political parties for imposing these reservations in Private Institutes. Today reading this news I am totally shocked at the legislature’s behavior of ignoring the judicial decision and forcing the *law*. But I am confused now. If the decision of the highest body of Judiciary

This is an excellent piece of article that I received from rediff and I liked it so much, more because I had myself been a part of that ruined state of Bihar once, that I would like to reproduce the same here in my corner of the web. And despite this fact produced here our Prime Minister holds the gut to applaud and support Lalu. November 22 is an important date in Bihar's electoral history.

I had thought so far that blogs are meant to express one’s views, random thoughts etc. But surely it is not the thing to be used for *selling* your stuffs. But no I was wrong, Indian filmmakers have started to market their movies through blogs. Note that All links to other blogs provided here talks about the same upcoming movie Apaharan. Interesting….. huh!!

The first ODI between India and SA was interesting. Interesting in the sense that how Indian team has learnt to fight back and not loose hope, which they were so accustomed to in the past. In the past the lower order batsman hardly had the spirit to pull through atleast 25-30 runs. Their had been several occasions when India just needed about 30 runs with enough balls to spare but just 3 wickets

In the recent Dulleep Trophy match between the East Zone VS West Zone, Zaheer got ganguly out for a duck in both the innings, exposing that the Bengal tiger still suffers from the same old weakness and has done nothing to improve on that ground. Anyone having a slightest knowledge about Indian cricket knows the fact that Ganguly fails to pull the short ball bowled on the leg side, correctly.

So far I had looked at our current Prime Minister Dr . Manmohan Singh, as the best PM India had had in the last 2 decades, bringing about many wanted economical and social reforms. Being an Economist and have worked as the Finance minister, he understand the economical needs of India and the reforms needed better than anyone else. And so I had great esteem for this great man, though I hate the

Four wins in a row has sealed all entry points for Dada. It may be long wait for him now to get a *chance* in the international match, but to get that *chance* he has to perform constantly with *no injury* in the domestic cricket. But then again he stands no *chance* to be the part as the captain for team India. The team's united performance has filled Dada's path full of thorns that he must walk

Though the initial start of the tour was not so good with a minor accident happening in Norwalk, causing the delay and upsetting the mood of all, but in all the tour was still good.
