It refers to government-decision favoured generally by opposition parties but only in principle regarding 10-percent reservation for Poor Upper Cast covering roughly 90-percent of people from General category with parameters defined for getting reservation-benefit being as high as household-income above rupees eight lakhs per annum, agricultural land less than 5 acres, residences less than 1000 square-feet and residential plot less than 100 square yards in notified municipal area and 200 square yards in non-notified municipal area. If central government is really sincere about Economically Weaker Section EWS of society, these parameters need to be made realistic. Otherwise proposed 10-percent quota should be doubled to at least 20-percent. However proposed policy is not likely to be str...

Time-capsule carrying also a laptop, a smartphone, a drone, VR glasses and other items of present era buried on campus of Lovely Professional University at Phagwara on occasion of 106th Indian Science Congress held on 04.01.2019 to be opened after 100 years, reminds of a time-capsule containing too many items and a history-sheet buried deep inside the ground by the then central government headed by Indira Gandhi in emergency-era of 1975-77 with totally distorted historical facts in front of historic Red Fort in Delhi. However subsequent Janta Party government headed by Morarji Desai having come into power put that time-capsule out to save future generation from distorted historical facts as per requirement of Nehru-Gandhi family. Present central government can think about some similar t...

Board for Control of Cricket in India BCCI has announced award-money of rupees fifteen lakhs extra as award money in addition to equal amount of match-money to each of the cricketers having played in recently concluded series with Australia where India won the series. All this is in addition to a very hefty annual salary-package of upto rupees seven crores per cricketer and life-time heavy pension after their retirement from cricket paid by BCCI. It is absolutely unfair to create such a class-distinction in society where cricketers earning otherwise also through their costly appearance in advertisements and business-income are paid so heavily from BCCI funded through public-craze where cricket has become religion for people. There should be an upper-limit of salary-package for BCCI whic...

It refers to Railway Minister having sweet dreams of No-Tip era in trains with his announcement of some steps to prevent over-charging of food like free food-supply in case no bill is given. But in practice, all this is not at all practical. Only and best remedy is to replace food-serving by sale of packaged food by giving some nominal sale-commission to serving railway-staff. It is indeed very insulting that railway-staff towards end of journey start begging for tips even from foreign tourists which harms image of nation. It is beyond understanding how dream-steps of Railways can practically check begging tips by railway-staff that too at a time when even Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs legalizes tips by allowing service-charge levied in restaurant-bills. Scope of Indian Railway Cat...
