Media-reports confirm about printing of rupees-2000 currency-notes by Reserve Bank of India RBI after about two years of launch to meet emergency situation subsequent to demonetization on 08.11.2016 of earlier notes of rupees 500 and rupees 1000. Ruppes-2000 notes worth rupees 6.73 lakh crores were there in circulation on 31.03.2018 which accounted for 37-percent of total currency worth rupees 18.03 lakh crores on that day. Since rupees-2000 notes not commonly seen are mainly hoarded as unaccounted currency and for illegal currency-circulation, even a currency-crunch developed in the country some time back. Even though demonetization on 08.11.2016 was a bold step for checking unaccounted deals, yet poor and unplanned implementation could not give the desired results with currency-cir...

शबरीमला मंदिर की सैकडों वर्षों की परंपरा खंडित करने के लिए हिन्दू विरोधी कम्युनिस्ट केरल राज्य सरकार ने जमीन आसमान एक करने का निश्‍चय किया है । गत अनेक महीनों से अय्यप्पा भक्त शांति से आंदोलन कर रहे हैं । उनकी भावनाआें का अपमान करने का प्रयत्न केरल राज्य सरकार ने किया है । ४० वर्ष की दो महिलाआें को एंबुलेंस के माध्यम से मंदिर के निकट ले जाया गया तथा काले बुरखे और पुलिस के पहरे में छिपकर मंदिर में प्रवेश करवाया गया । यह उजागर हो गया है कि ये महिलाएं श्री अय्यप्पा भगवान की भक्त नहीं हैं, अपितु कम्युनिस्ट दल की कार्यकर्ता हैं । किसी प्रकार की भक्ति न होते हुए ऐसा छिपकर प्रवेश करने से क्या साध्य होनेवाला है ? यह तो केवल हिन्दू धर्म, श्री अय्यप्पा भगवान और करोडों भक्तों का विश्‍वासघात है । ‘कुछ भी करें; परंतु हिन्दुआें के मंदिरों की धार्मिक परंपराएं नष्ट करें, हिन्दुआें के मंदिर भ्रष्ट करें’ ऐस...

Delhi Journalists Association (DJA), affiliated to the National Union of Journalist (India) is not amused at the use of adjective ‘pliable’ by Indian National Congress President Rahul Gandhi for the ANI interviewer who conducted a wide-ranging and long interview with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a joint statement issued today, DJA president Manohar Singh and General Secretary Pramod Kumar said badmouthing a journalist simply because she conducted an interview with a rival political leader is in poor taste and amounts to shooting the messenger; it’s unwarranted and unbecoming of a senior leader of a national political party. The DJA is of the opinion that journalists have a professional responsibility to seek information, ask questions and get answers. “All journalists everywhere kno...

बांग्लादेश में एक बेगम की पार्टी को 300 में से 287 सीटें मिल गईं और दूसरी बेगम की पार्टी को मुश्किल से छह सीटें मिलीं। पहली बेगम शेख हसीना वाजिद हैं और दूसरी बेगम खालिदा जिया हैं। बांग्लादेश पिछले 30 साल से इन दोनों बेगमों के बीच झूल रहा है। आवामी लीग की नेता हसीना शेख मुजीब की बेटी हैं और बांग्लादेश नेशनल पार्टी की नेता खालिदा जिया राष्ट्रपति जिया-उर-रहमान की पत्नी हैं। जनरल इरशाद की फौजी तानाशाही से निजात पाते वक्त ये दोनों बेगमें कंधे से कंधा मिलाकर लड़ती रहीं लेकिन उसके बाद दोनों एक-दूसरे की जानी दुश्मन बन गईं। शेख हसीना पिछले दस साल से सत्ता में हैं और अब अगले पांच साल के लिए तीसरी बार चुन ली गई हैं। इस बार जैसी जबर्दस्त विजय उनकी हुई है, आज तक दक्षिण एशिया में किसी नेता की नहीं हुई। विपक्ष के गठबंधन को 300 में से सिर्फ 10-12 सीटों पर सिमटना पड़ा। याने हसीना को लगभग 95 प्रतिशत सीटें मिल...

It refers to the film Accidental-Prime-Minister released on 28.12.2018. The film based on the book by Sanjay Baru, media-advisor to the then Prime Minister Dr Manmohansingh has caused waves of embarrassment in Congress party for obvious reasons confusing everyone in the party whether to demand ban on the film or not. Any such demand to ban would have been considered as attack on freedom of expression. Damage-control exercise of Congress President by giving special honour of symbolic cake-cutting to Dr Manmohansingh on occasion of Foundation-Day of oldest political party with Congress President seen helping him, and confusing talks by party-cadre for demand to ban of the film bounced back giving extra publicity to the film which is said to have projected Dr Manmohansingh having acted on ...

Central government deserves compliments to get passed reformative bill on Triple Talaq by Lok Sabha on 27.12.2018 with practical amendments ruling out all possibility of interference of non-family-members of the victim-wife when only victim or her blood-relation could file a police-complaint. Other amendments including dropping the case in case the couple compromise and magistrate granting bail only after hearing the victim-wife were enough to get passed the bill unanimously. It is evident that opposition did not support a reformative move in interest of Muslim women that too at a time when even several Muslim countries have banned Triple Talaq. If it was an interference in religious matters, then opposition should have cried for abolition of Dowry Act also. Union government should now ...
