Degrading Women – Raksha Bandhan
Please leave emotions a side about the brother-sister loving relation, sacred thread / Rakhee etc., for a moment to read this: In the olden days women were not individuals, but property, if they were not killed at birth. They were bought & sold in those days. They were stolen, kidnapped, raped and even killed! No […]

If you observe carefully, objectively and dispassionately you can see that India is not a country that used to be till 2014. It is totally different today. All other parameters such as unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, crime, hunger etc. […]
Chacha Nehru – Happy Children’s Day
14th November is Chacha Nehru’s Birthday. It used to be called as the Children’s Day. He was a statesman par-excellence. On any given day, it is worth reading the books authored by him. These books hold good for all generations – if you think that Generation Z or Generation Alpha are excluded then you are […]
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS AND FAT SALARIES
Why did I employ the constitutional officers like a PM, the council of ministers at the center and a CM and his ministers at the state level? Why am I paying big fat salaries to them? a) Am I employing them to clean the roads in the name of clean India or whatever you may […]
