EC must have banned poll-campaign in West bengal from immediate effect

Rallies and road-shows be totally banned for future elections: TV debates and press-conferences be promoted It refers to confusing decision of Election Commission of India ECI on 15.05.2019 announcing a total ban on poll-campaign in West Bengal but with effect from 10 pm on 16.05.2019 rather than mandatory from 5 pm on 17.05.2019 considering heavy violence during road-show by BJP President Amit Shah on 14.05.2019. But it is beyond understanding why ECI did not impose ban with immediate effect just after its announcement on 15.05.2019. Election-rallies and road-shows are insensible style of poll-campaign involving extra-large heavy expenditure on unproductive mode of poll-campaign. Ban on banners and posters has provided remarkable results resulting in stopping wastage of money and keepin...

A Down To Earth magazine investigation points to an emerging threat facing the world’s vulnerable regions – climate change is changing the chemistry of cyclones in ways we do not understand yet. At speeds which are almost impossible to tackle Despite being better prepared this time, experts were left guessing by Fani about its trajectory till 24 hours before landfall. Cyclones are becoming more unpredictable and hence, deadlier A slowing down of wind speeds across the world is said to be one of the key reasons New Delhi, May 14, 2019: “All these years, we have been talking and warning persistently about the increasing intensity and ferocity of extreme weather events like cyclones, brought about by climate change.

Instant hanging of culprits for killing businessman in Moti Nagar (Delhi) required

It refers to shocking incident of killing of a 51-year old businessman on night of 11.05.2019 critically injuring his young son by miscreants when the victim approached the killer-family to oppose ugly remarks passed on his daughter by the miscreants. It is unfortunate that while politicians not only from UP but also from neighbouring Delhi hit news-lines by visiting Dadri on lynching of a person in the year 2015, political rulers avoided visiting house of victim either for expressing grief or for announcing compensation. Normally announced compensation of rupees one crore should be given to middle-income family of the victim apart from all other hep required and sought by the family. On the contrary, properties and other assets of the killer-family should be acquired by the government to ...

Calling Nathuram Godse as Hindu-terrorist

Calling Nathuram Godse as Hindu-terrorist

It refers to Kamal Hassan calling Nathuram Godse as first Hindu terrorist. Such persons have neither read history nor the note written by Nathuram Godse on his killing MK Gandhi. Undoubtedly it cannot be justified to kill a person, even though it was pseudo-secularist policy and undemocratic decision of the uncrowned king-maker which provoked Nathuram Godse to take such bold but undesired step that too with full knowledge that he himself would be hanged. Everybody knows the person who deprived nation from a really capable Sardar Patel from becoming first Prime Minister of India. Big problems like that of Kashmir hanging and troubling India till now since independence would not have been there if Indian citizens would have been fortunate enough to be led by democratically elected but unf...

Probe those getting agriculture-loans in multi-croes at subsidized interest-rate of four-percent per annum

Former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi in his facebook-post has made shocking revelation said to have been obtained under RTI Act and published in a social media that every year from 2010 to 2016 about 700 people were given total agricultural-loans of about 60000 crores every year with an average of about rupees 90 crores per individual every year on a highly subsidised nominal rate of just four-percent per annum. This is just a mockery of economy where ultra-rich are getting tax-exemptions in name income from agriculture, and such heavy loans at highly subsidised rate of just four-percent per annum. It may not be surprising if some of these might have availed loan-waivers granted in name of agricultural loans. There must be a limit of loans sanctioned by banks in name ...

Rotary International is ideally known for being a service-club with motto ‘Service above Self’ having a four-way test ritually read at start of meeting in Rotary Clubs world-wide. But it seems that with change of times, this four-way test is losing its shine when many Rotarians are themselves a failure when put to this four-way test. Many Rotarians especially from ultra-rich elite category are crossing all limits of decency in Rotary events overlooking difference between entertainment and vulgarity. Rotary clubs in India have become societies to exhibit and compete in richness. There are Rotary Clubs in India which have even turned intellectual regular meetings into whisky-parties to ensure adequate attendance in front of gust-speakers. Sensible Rotarians are mute spectators to all such...
