| More on Jammu and Kashmir | |
|
|
| 25th August 2008While I sympathise with the loss felt by the Hindus in Jammu at the withdrawal of the grant of forest land to the Amarnath Shrine, for construction of temporary shelters for pilgrims, this was Government land, not shrine land, and your insisting it be given to the Shrine is no more justifiable than the Muslim extremists saying the G...

| Jammu & Kashmir | |
|
|
| People who use coersion and violence to meet their ends, may use religion as an excuse for their actions, but usually they have scant respect for their religion, and less for human life and dignity!I do not know why the Kashmir government wanted to cede forest lands to the Amarnath shrine, nor do i know who this land originally belonged to. I will ...

| Horse Trading | |
|
|
| The Trust Vote in Parliament on 22nd July 2008, again brought the concept of Political Horse Trading to the Public View. Whereas it had been mooted in the media that the going price for an M.P. is in the neighbourhood of Rs.15 crores, the ammount claimed to have been offered by Sri Amar Singh was many crores less! Is this why the Hon.M.P.could not ...

| 6th June 2008What is the value of a human life today? If you give a thousand rupees to a pavement dweller, and tell him how to get into your enemies flat, to kill him (or her), will it be enough to overcome his scruples and encourage him to snuff out a human life or two?For our Political Leaders, perhaps the value of human life is less than a thous...

|
| March 20, 1064 (California) It’s a long time since I left of my ‘Thesis’ on money and morals, but I don’t want to leave it incomplete, and I don’t think I made any comments on morals yet. All my comments, of course, refer to Western society, for in India, we are still very particular about morals. (That was 1964! This is 2008. If anything, Indian S...

|
| January 28th, 1964 (Berkeley) “A penny for your thoughts,” people say when they are curious to know what someone is thinking. A penny-a ridiculously small amount of money! Who cares if an extra penny or two has been added to his bill? Whoever bothers to search for a lost penny? This makes the saying rather laughable. Yet, when you come to think of ...

|
| 24th May 2008 The Arushi double murder case, where a bright, attractive young life was snuffed out just before her 14th birthday, was really shocking. The police handling of the case was even more so! First, they claim that the servant, Hemraj, committed the murder, without properly examining the murder scene, and then, within a few days, and witho...

| 23rd May 2008. This year, India got to the finals of the Aslan Shah Hockey Tournament in Malaysia, but couldn’t win it, even though hockey powerhouses like Australia and Germany were not present. Though we are still nowhere near regaining our former predominance in hockey, this is a slight improvement on last years performance, when India got the b...

| 16th May 2008Can't an old man blog? While registering for rediffiland.com, I was asked to give my date of birth, but found that I couldn't give a year earlier than 1950, and manual insertion of the date was not possible!To get back to the subject of religion, however, I am a Bengali Brahmin of 'Sakta' leaning, but I strongly believe in the late Dr...

| THE LOVE |
|
|
| "The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real," . So, if you focus on the name, then you are likely to lose the actual substance and essence of it.Basically “LOVE” is a unique feeling that can’t be defined if we really live it. On the contrary it can be defined with all its technicalities for all other pur...

| Its 8:15 a.m. and I stand here in the bus stop waiting for the officebus to arrive. I stand here in the same manner as I did a few yearsback waiting for my college bus. Little did I know then that thingswould change so much in 2 years; the sky under which I am standing seems to be looking at me and smiling .. It is perhaps the only thingthat has ac...
