It refers to a new-born baby dying because of eunuchs forcibly taking the child from his mother and dancing with the child in want of usual unhealthy practice of begging money. It is regretting that practice of begging and singing-dancing by transgenders still continues after legislation of The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2019. Practice of begging through singing-dancing by eunuchs should be made non-bailable offence. Dancing eunuchs make unreasonable demands in thousands of rupees on happy occasions like marriages and entrance-ceremonies of new homes, apart from begging at road-crossings. Even giving transgender-child by parents to eunuch-community, and eunuchs accepting transgender-child from their parents should also be strictly banned. It is to be noted that eve...

Indian cities Bombay, Madras, Allahabad have since been renamed as Mumbai, Chennai and Prayag respectively long time back. But High Courts located in these cities are still officially named after old names of these cities. System should be that names of High Courts may get auto-changed with change in names of cities. It is significant that except for some High Courts, all other High Courts are named after states of their jurisdiction. An RTI response had revealed that while all the High Courts constituted after independence were named after respective main states of jurisdiction, High Courts constituted by British regime in pre-independence era continue to be named as per British legacy on basis of cities of their existence even after 70 long years of independence. Union government s...

It is good that fully active professional celebrity Deepika Padukone at peak of her youth and professional career has become sensitive to social causes where she went at Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi) on 07.01.2020 to express solidarity with protesting students against recent violence in the campus by unidentified persons. She should better utilize her celebrity-status for guiding JNU students for concentrating more on studies as students rather than misusing the campus for anti-national activities and rising as future politicians. But a curious question is why she chose JNU as her entry-point for social causes. She could even do so in raising voice for increasing crimes against women. She should have joined public-protests against recent episode of rape-cum-murder of Dr Priyan...
