Government of India starts a campaign for "swachh bharat" ie Clean India. The campaign sloagn is  Jahaan Shauch, Wahaan Shauchalay! a simple yet well made campaign to educate the masses for a clean toilet and clean environment; after all cleanliness is next to godliness. Fastforward to the current scene in Delhi: This is the result of sanitation staff strike as they have not been given their promised salary and permanent jobs. Which had been one of the mandate for the winning the Delhi constituency by AAP. Stop taking the common man for granted, AAM ADMI PARTY!  Stop playing dirty politics! Instead start acting by fulfiling the pledge and get the dirt cleansed off the streets.

In India a caterpillar is taught not to be a butterfly, it’s a crime! 16 th December 2012, a little after 9.30 pm a young couple board a bus to go to their respective houses. Six men brutally rape the girl, leave an inch of life in her and her friend dumping them on the road in the cold wintery night of New Delhi, India. The girl dies succumbing to the injuries. Indian Judiciary makes a summary judgement with a verdict of death penalty to the five accused. The sixth goes to a rehabilitation camp because of his age. One of the five accused, commit suicide in jail. Supreme court of India put on hold the execution of two accused, Mukesh Singh and Vinay Sharma. BBC makes a documentary – “India’s daughter” and also airs the interview of Mukesh Singh, who without remorse blames the girl for being raped. Indian media picks up the bytes pour it on social media and the ruckus begins. From Indian Parliament to the nukkad, all blast their anger on the document...

From each according to his abilties to each according to his needs.- Karl Marx. And as the Ram is considered auspicious with bountiful blessings.  Respect age, but respect experience more. For it isn't age that makes a person wise. Age  simply means a person hasn't died yet. Expereince and the openess to learn from that experience are what gives a person a real understanding. It is a huge tragedy that there are walking encyclopedias but living failures.

The images are surely heart rendering, although the sceptics will say that with this news the TRps have boomed and the TV stations are making millions, the artillery factories are also counting the green notes, the various governments are scuffling.   But the heaviest weights are being picked up in small coffins by the parents. Realism can be punishing. Probabilistic scepticism is worse. It is difficult to go about life wearing probabilistic glasses, as one starts seeing fools of randomness all around, in a variety of situations-obdurate in their perceptional illusions. To start, it is impossible to read a historian’s analysis without questioning the inferences: We know that Hannible and Hitler were mad in their pursuits, and so are the ilks of Taliban and  Al-quida's. So what shall we do? Turn a blind eye and say All Izz Well. And keep waiting till the realization dawns on this fanatics of faith?   "We are twice armed if we fight with faith." Pla...
