Forgotten hero Udham Singh of pre-independence surgical-strike against British rulers

Forgotten hero Udham Singh of pre-independence surgical-strike against British rulers

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, समाचार
Unfortunately successive central governments have done nothing for glorification of real heroes of freedom-struggle while even the present central government continues worshipping a person who was indeed responsible for vetoing deserving Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel as first Prime Minister of India instead crowning Jawaharlal Nehru on the responsible post. No political party remembered the historical day of 13th March when on this date in the year 1940, great patriot Sardar Udham Singh made a surgical strike inside Britain at Caxton Hall in London by shooting down Michael O Dwyer for his sin of infamous Jaliawalan Bagh massacre, even though he knew very well that he would be hanged to death for his heroic deed. Only present central government can take desired steps to keep memory of pre...

In present era of austerity and national airliner already under heavy debt, Air India should curtail freebies to its Directors and staffers including free air-passes for family-members. Management and staff of public-sector Air India should get benefits according to rules of Union government and not at all in an arbitrarily manner decided by its own board-members who have a definite conflict of interest in such ant-public decisions for which they themselves are beneficiaries.

Delhi should adopt a uniform pattern of weekly holidays. All those markets remaining open on Sundays should be uniformly closed on Saturdays. Outsiders coming to Delhi will be sure of opening of all markets for first five working days of the week. Shopkeepers and their employees will have at least one common weekly holiday with government employees under five-day week system in government offices.

Multiple full-page newspaper-advertisements by central and state governments is wastage of hard-earned money of tax-payers

Multiple full-page newspaper-advertisements by central and state governments is wastage of hard-earned money of tax-payers

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It is quite usual that central state governments start giving ultra-costly multiple full-page newspaper-advertisements for photo-publicity of political rulers especially at the end of financial year or before notification for general elections is issued, like is happening presently also. This is nothing but wastage of hard-earned money of tax-payers just for political gains of ruling parties. Supreme Court once prohibited photos of Chief Ministers in government-advertisements, but later relented for allowing their photos subsequent to a review petition wherein argument was made that if photos of political ruler at the centre can be allowed, then it should be for political rulers of states also. Considering such massive spent on photo-publicity of political rulers, Prime Minister shou...
Why Jai-Hind only in Air India: Should be in all flights of private airliners also

Why Jai-Hind only in Air India: Should be in all flights of private airliners also

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Mahbooba Mufti now making undesired comments on Air India directive to say Jai-Hind after every flight-announcement. Time has come when such non-patriotic comments may attract action by law-enforcing agencies. Instead Union Ministry of Civil Aviation and Directorate General of Civil Aviation should immediately issue directive to all private airliners of India for saying Jai-Hind after every flight-announcement in case private airliners do not by themselves follow Air India in this respect. Such and similar steps will further strengthen feeling of patriotism amongst flight-passengers in the country, which will provide an appreciable image of India in foreigners travelling in domestic flights in India.   MADHU AGRAWAL

It refers to video viral on electronic and social media wherein an MP and an MLA were openly seen engaged in scuffle with beating by shoes that too in presence of police and government officials at Sant Kabir Nagar in UP. Even though the ruling party is said to have taken a serious view on the matter by summoning both the involved noes immediately for enquiry and action, yet big question is why and how police-persons present at the meet failed to take immediate action as per provisions of law. UP police should immediately sue-motto register an FIR on the incident to punish the guilty law-makers. It is noteworthy that the scuffle started on faulty practice of putting names on the foundation-stone of some project. Practice of glorifying political leaders by putting their names on foundati...

In sanctioning the deep strike by the Indian Air Force on Balakot deep into Pakistan in the early hours of the morning of 26 February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a calculated risk. The formal announcement the next afternoon by Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale that the mission had been successful led to jubilation in India, disbelief in Pakistan and alarm in the rest of the world. What the foreign secretary said in a prepared statement need not be repeated as it has been picked up by media around the world. The emphasis was on the non-military nature of the strike, limited as it was to terrorist training facilities. The action resulted, he stated, from credible intelligence that further Pulwama-type strikes were under preparation. Later the Prime Minister in a public address after ...

Articles 331 and 333 of Indian constitution provide two nominations in Lok Sabha for Anglo-Indian community which was about eight-lakh strong at time of independence of India. But now with majority of Anglo-Indian community having migrated to other commonwealth-nations, their number has gone down to just one lakh which is much-much less than normal population in each of the Lok Sabha constituency. Parsi community known to have admittedly most intelligent persons in every field of life, is the only and fast decreasing population with just about 60000 in numbers rather deserves more to have nomination in Lok Sabha. The then President Pranab Mukerji advocated for sincere efforts to prevent falling population. Best thing about the community is that they live for society rather than for them...
