Disciplining JNU students necessary: Norms be revised for appointing teachers

It refers to ever-controversial Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) at Delhi once again in news on 25.03.2019 with several students entering house of Vice Chancellor where his wife lonely in the home had to be hospitalized because of mental trauma caused by forced entry of agitating students. Earlier also such an unhumanitarian act on 15.02.2018 made certain officials of the University sick being required to be even hospitalized. Demand of students against enforcing rules is ingenuine. Universities should be for education and not for playing politics. Central government should evolve permanent solution to make JNU an ideal institution for education rather becoming a hub for political activities many of which are at times even against national and public interest. Procedure for admission o...

CJI should summon a conference of judges of higher courts to discuss liberal culture of ex-party stay-orders and frequent adjournments in court-cases

Biggest weakness of our justice-delivery-system is liberal ex-party stay-orders followed by frequent adjournments in courts which the main and foremost reason of ever-increasing huge pendency of cases in courts resulting in justifying the proverb Justice-Delayed-Is-Justice Denied. This is despite the fact that several Division Benches of Supreme Court have including the one comprising of Justices RV Ravindran and JM Panchal in January 2009 observed and rightly too of the bitter reality that at times those having taken ex-party stay-orders seeking frequent adjournments ultimately lose the cases. Even the then Vice President Hamid Ansari once also desired liberal adjournments in courts need to be taken seriously by the judiciary for reforms within.Supreme Court also in the case Shiv Cotex...
IOC advertisement of 10-percent payback on petrol through digital payment

IOC advertisement of 10-percent payback on petrol through digital payment

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Presently TV-advertisements by Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) are in plenty about 10-percent pay-back on purchase of petrol-diesel through digital mode of payment. Central government had earlier started .75-percent pay-back if petrol and diesel are purchased through credit or debit cards from every petrol-pump of any public-sector oil-company to encourage cashless payments after demonetisation of old currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000 on 08.11.2016. It is beyond understanding why and how IOC alone can provide 10-percent pay-back rather than .75-percent by other oil-companies. Now with people already adopting card-payments at petrol-pumps, incentive for cashless payments at petrol-pumps should be totally withdrawn. Or else it should be same for all public-sector oil-companies rather tha...

क्या गंगा को सिर्फ चुनावी वाहन मानने वालों को अपना प्रतिनिधि चुनें ?

2014 के लोकसभा चुनाव को याद कीजिए। ’’मैं आया नहीं हूं। मां गंगा ने बुलाया है।’’ मोदी जी का यह वाक्य याद कीजिए। कहना न होगा कि गंगा के सहारे चुनावी नौका पार करना, 2014 के प्रधानमंत्री पद के दावेदार श्री मोदी का एजेण्डा था। 2019 में अब यह राहुल गांधी को प्रधानमंत्री बनाने की अपील करने वाली प्रियंका गांधी का एजेण्डा है। प्रियंका ने लोगों को लिखे खुले खत में कहा है, ’’गंगाजी उत्तर प्रदेश का सहारा है और मैं भी गंगा जी के सहारे हूं।’’ मोदी जी ने पांच साल तक गंगा के हितों की जमकर अनदेखी की। गंगा की अविरलता-निर्मलता के अनशन करते हुए स्वामी सानंद की मौत हो गई। कुछ पता नहीं कि संत गोपालदास कहां और कैसे लापता हो गए ? स्वामी आत्मबोधानन्द, आज भी संघर्ष कर रहे हैं। मातृ सदन के स्वामी शिवानंद सरस्वती जी अपेक्षा कर रहे हैं कि गंगा संबंधी मांगों पर निर्णस करे। निर्णय करना तो दूर, मोदी जी ने इनसे बात करना ...

New discovery paves way for ‘silicon of the future’

Just imagine taking two extremely ultra-thin materials with different properties and placing one on top of the other, and obtaining a new a material with hybrid properties. This is what an international group of researchers have done with two atomic level semiconductor materials and have got a new material whose properties are not only hybrid but also tunable. The materials are nothing but crystalline sheets of atoms – measuring one millionth of a human hair in thickness. Scientists call such atomic materials two-dimensional (2D). The two atomic layers are held together not by any physical or chemical reaction but due to a force known as ‘van der Waals interaction’. The materials used in the study are monolayers of molybdenum diselenide and tungsten disulfide. Since the two layer...

Stop confusing disloyalty with dissent!! No this isn't misquoting Edward R Murrow's iconic “Good night and good luck "speech. And god knows, on our side of the aisle, I am amongst the least trigger happy people to use words like traitors/anti-national/ gaddar etc, but a line was crossed, twice, in last two days and that must not go unchallenged. First, yesterday, the entire mainstream media contingent went completely cuckoo when the puppet pm of our rogue neighbor announced that the captured Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan will be released tomorrow. The Indian elite msm was hailing the puppet PM for his statesmanship and peacefulness like a terrorist organization harbored by his government didn't murder 44 of our brave CRPF men two weeks ago! Praising Pak in this context es...

In desperation to remain relevant so as to engineer a proletarian utopia, Indian intellectuals go beyond interpreting the world for the people; they prescribe the world and construct a reality which has no material foundation.  Jyotirmaya Tripathy Indian intellectuals are acutely aware of their growing irrelevance in contemporary times, not just because the present political dispensation does not recognize their birth-right of representing others, but also due to their own sinking realization that ordinary folks no longer believe in them. In desperation to remain relevant so as to engineer a proletarian utopia, they go beyond interpreting the world for the people; they prescribe the world and construct a reality which has no material foundation.

It refers to senior BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh Satyanarainan (Sattan) opposing candidature of Lok Sabha Speaker Sunitra Mahajan from Indore Lok Sabha constituency alleging she has not been in touch with party-workers even though she represents Indore ever since the year 1989. Propriety demands Lok Sabha speaker to be practically neutral like is Rajya Sabha chair-person. Rather persons once seated on highest posts of President, Vice President and even Lok Sabha Speaker must quit active politics for life-time after occupying these responsible seats requiring perfect neutrality. Constitution should be amended by upgrading post of Lok Sabha Speaker as that of second Vice President with both Vice Presidents elected simultaneously with President through EVMs equipped with VVPAT within three ...

It refers to media-reports that public-sector IDBI Bank will be considered as a private-sector bank after public-sector LIC of India gets 51-perecent controlling stake in IDBI Bank. Undoubtedly IDBI Bank till now was not listed amongst other public-sector banks because earlier it was a government-owned Financial Institution and thus a public-authority. Also LIC of India as public-sector autonomous body has its own style of professional functioning. There are also reports that the bank will be named as LIC IDBI Bank. Confusion must not be created about IDBI Bank under control of LIC of India to be a private bank. The bank should be categorised as premium public-sector bank which may provide fancy banking on lines of private-sector banks with higher service-charges but with five-starred f...

Union government should induce standardization of common accessories like tyres and batteries so that same parts may be used in different models of cars produced by various car-manufacturers. It will heavily bring down cost of consumables through their bumper production in extra large numbers in some limited sizes and specifications. It can be achieved by merging some nearing sizes and specifications. Such guidelines though also mentioned in auto-policy of Union government, are never followed in actual practice. Too many variants of any car-model confuse customers. There may be just two variants apart from the third with automatic gears, one basic Lx for economy customers and the other Vx with all company-fitted extra accessories and luxuries for affording customers. There is no sense in ...
