Day 457

    Lockdown. It’s not a new word in India anymore. We all are locked down at our homes. For the first time in Indian history, Indian police isn’t putting culprits in lockup but they are sending the culprits in the lockdown again. Jokes apart. Indian police is doing a remarkable job and they are worthy of appraisal. This time, I’m with the entire Indian police for their great work which they are doing fearlessly.

     But on the serious note, few people aren’t following the instructions of the government seriously. The government has come up with the lockdown instruction to prevent individuals before mass. But some illiterate and low IQ people are taking this as mass over individuals. I know that our daily routine is totally shattered. But I think this is the best way to show some respect to our nation. I think everyone of us has seen the condition of France. So many dead bodies in the coffins has taught us a lesson that this virus is not to be taking lightly. According to UN, in the health index, France comes on second number but still it couldn’t fight Corona virus. So, the best way is to defeat is to stay divided in this time.

    I know that many of my readers are getting bored at by remaining at home. Actually, we haven’t been accustomed to stay this long at home. Still we have fifteen more days to remain indoors. There are a lot of funny videos on various social Medias which are going viral in which it’s been shown how people are reacting about the lockdown. But its demand of time now. It’s time to be socially distracted to stop the spread of Corona virus from spreading as we don’t know who will be the potential carrier of the corona virus. It’s hard to determine with naked eyes. This is done only by clinical check-up. So, its right to be single at this time rather than mingling with the crowd and carrying the virus to our home and get our family members contaminated with this virus.

    I won’t bore you by saying the same thing again and again. So be safe and be happy and be healthy.

Day 456

    I wish belated greetings of Maha Shivratri to my readers. Yesterday, the marriage ceremony of Lord Shiva with Goddess Parvati was celebrated across the nation. Yesterday, I missed my days at Varanasi. The Maha Shivratri is celebrated with huge pump and show at Varanasi. At Varanasi, Maha Shivratri is celebrated at double the energy level. It seems that energy level is in the atmosphere. Tiredness and negative energies doesn’t enter in anybody during Maha Shivratri. There are so much parades and pump and show in Varanasi. Oh God, those were the days. Having the Darshan of Lord Shiva on any day is a bliss and having it on Maha Shivratri is a grand bonanza.

    I know that I’m getting nostalgic. Let’s come back to the present. Well, there are a lot of things happening around me which are forcing me to write something on all those topics. But it’s not possible to write on all those topics. So, now the major concern is choosing the right topic. Well, I can’t say that whatever topic which I’ll chose will be the right one because it’s going to be extempore. But, there is a topic on which I want to write but I don’t know how to start it. I don’t intend to hurt anyone by my thought and my words. That’s why I have been avoiding that topic since a long time and after a long urge to write it soon.

    It’s about CAA. I think it’s not such a bad law of which there has to be so many protest across the country. There have been a long list of protests after the CAA has been enforced into law by the Indian Parliament. This law has been made by the Indian government and the amendment includes Hindus, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Christian and Parsi immigrants along with Sri Lankan Tamils in India, Buddhist refugees from Tibet, Rohingya from Myanmar. But the protest is polarised on the sole reason that Muslim migrants aren’t included in CAA and NRC.

     Now see the difference. CAA and NRC isn’t touching the Muslim immigrants from neighbouring countries of India. Side by side, both the laws aren’t blaming Muslims living in India as outsiders. In both the laws, Muslims living in India are treated as Indians like people of other religions. But the sad part is that the opposition political parties has joined two different things in one thing to defame the Modi government. I want to ask Indian National Congress to prove that where the Modi government has said anything about the Muslims already living in India. Indian government is trying to stop the illegal immigrants coming from Bangladesh and Myanmar. But Indian National Congress is doing the same which British used to do Indians before independence.

    There are various regional parties which hasn’t understood the CAA properly and are in the government in their respective states have also said that they won’t implement CAA in their respective states. They have said that just because of having ideological differences with the BJP. But they are forgetting that the CAA and NRC has been passed in both houses of the Indian parliament and the states don’t have much choice of not implementing the CAA and NRC. Well, it’s another topic to talk about when a law is passed at the Indian parliament and the law passed by the state legislative assemblies. The hierarchy always says that the states don’t have any option when a law is passed in both houses of the Indian parliament.

    Well, the protest is just outcome of the misunderstanding of the acts and amendments. It’s nothing more than that. There are many individuals from various section of the society who are protesting the CAA and NRC. I want to know from them that can they explain that the CAA and NRC has said anything about the Muslims born in India. The clear answer is no. Both CAA and NRC is talking about the illegal immigrants coming from Myanmar and other neighbouring countries. NRC is talking about the sorting the illegal immigrants in Assam since 1951 to 1971 to know the illegal immigrants living in India.

    I don’t think that the union government is doing anything wrong. It’s just like having the population census and thus providing the facilities based on the data collected. In fact, the government is ready to relax the required the required number of years from 11 years to 5 years to get Indian citizenship by naturalisation to the migrants covered under the CAA and NRC. But the plus points of the act has been withheld by the political parties to gain their political aims. This is the thing which is very disturbing.

    Few years back, I remember that many celebrities from Bollywood and many writers have given back their awards back to the union government because according to them India had become an intolerant country and its most unsafe place in the world to live. Now the same persons are advocating against the CAA and NRC. I want to ask them that if they were feeling so much unsafe in India then why didn’t they left the country and went to the country of their choice. What has happened in last six years that the most intolerant country in the world has become the safest place for the immigrants to live?

    I think these individuals across the various section of the society are misguided by some foreign organisations. They have become the spokesperson of those organisations in India. Indeed, the face and voice is of these individuals but the original thought is of someone else. Actually, all these persons, themselves, are threat to the country and Indians are tolerating them. What another example they need to have tolerance in India? I think that very soon they will realise that the CAA and NRC is to unite the India not to divide India.

    They sooner they understand this the better it will be. Then only there will be peace and harmony in the country. I would like to say that don’t become ideological puppet in the hands of political parties. These political parties are expert in using the feelings of the mass to achieve their political gains. So, once again, I would request all to use your wisdom.

Day 455

    In my last post, I wrote about the capital punishment awarded to the accused of the Nirbhaya rape case. Now there are a lot of things going on after the issue of death warrant. The capital punishment has to be given on 1^st February 2020. Now one of the accused, Mukesh Singh has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the rejection of mercy petition by the President of India. I think this is another afford to get extension in the capital punishment.

    I wonder why this petition has been filed against the rejection of the mercy petition. I don’t see any logic in this. I agree that many of you will say that there is legal process which can’t be overlooked. Its true and I agree with this. There is universal statement that it doesn’t matter whether hundred hard core criminals are released by the court of law but no innocent can be punished by the court of law. But the thing which is happening here is just to have more time to postpone the proceeding of the capital punishment.

    I think that the defence lawyer of the accused is doing this intentionally. Every time, he is using the loopholes of the legal provisions given by the constitution. Each of the accused has got two options to appeal. First one is to go to Supreme Court and second provision is of mercy petition to be filled before the President of India. Adv. S P Singh is playing will all the loopholes so that he can bail out his clients from the death warrants. He hasn’t filled a single petition in the Supreme Court for all the four accused at the same time. Every time, he is saying that until and unless a single petition is pending in the court of law or in front of the President of India then all four can’t be given death sentence at a time.

    Here I want to ask Adv. S P Singh that if he is sure that his clients are innocent and they don’t deserve to get death sentence then why hasn’t filed the petitions against the Supreme Court at the same time? Why he hasn’t put the mercy petition of all his clients to the President at the same time? What he is trying to prove here? Is he trying to become national hero by try to delay the death sentence even by the rejection of mercy petition of the President of two accused? I have read the media report that Adv. S P Singh has challenged Nirbhaya’s mother that this death sentence won’t be there for long time. He will get his clients out of the jail. This was an accusation made by Nirbhaya’s mother. I don’t know what are the real thing but the circumstances and the movement of the petition are proving that Adv. S P Singh have some mysterious plan in his mind. Otherwise he wouldn’t have tried every loophole to save his clients.

    It’s a proven fact that his clients are no innocent persons. It has been proven that they have done barbaric act which has been proven by the court of the law and they have been awarded the punishment. Then why Adv. S P Singh is trying to delay the capital punishment of his clients? What make him think that his clients are above the law of the country? What kind of example he is trying to put in front of others by getting this punishment converted into life imprisonment? I know that rape incidences won’t stop after the four accused are being hanged but at least there will be a clear message to all those that there is no way of escape after doing barbaric crime after rape.

    Sometimes, I believe that justice delayed is justice denied. The honourable judges has to take some initiative now so that further attempts by Adv. S P Singh should be stopped from making fun of the judiciary system as well as the Indian constitutions. I think and I request the honourable Judges to pass the new date of the capital punishment as soon as it can be. Trying every option can’t be made any excuse to delayed justice and the expectations of the general public.

Day 454

    In my last post, I wrote about the capital punishment awarded to the accused of the Nirbhaya rape case. Now there are a lot of things going on after the issue of death warrant. The capital punishment has to be given on 1^st February 2020. Now one of the accused, Mukesh Singh has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the rejection of mercy petition by the President of India. I think this is another afford to get extension in the capital punishment.

    I wonder why this petition has been filed against the rejection of the mercy petition. I don’t see any logic in this. I agree that many of you will say that there is legal process which can’t be overlooked. Its true and I agree with this. There is universal statement that it doesn’t matter whether hundred hard core criminals are released by the court of law but no innocent can be punished by the court of law. But the thing which is happening here is just to have more time to postpone the proceeding of the capital punishment.

    But now the whole thing is clear now. The date of the death sentence is around the corner. The justice will be done within couple of days. But according to me, the justice was delivered after a long time. It should have been done earlier. But one thing came in my notice that there are huge number of cases pending in the Indian courts. In Supreme Court only, about 61,000 cases are pending. High courts are having backlog of about more than 40 lakh pending cases and subordinated courts have 2.85 crore cases.

    Now the question comes in my mind that how so many cases are still pending in the courts? What is the reason behind this? Is it a fashion to keep the cases pending? What makes to delays the verdict? There are many questions like this. But what are the real reason for the delay verdict? Sometimes, the verdict comes after a decade or so. Sometimes, the accused died while the case is going on. What may be the reason behind this? Is the low number of judges hearing the cases one of the reason? According to me, sometimes, lawyers while arguing the case then they ask for time for further investigation or to give further evidences.

    Sometimes, the theory of investigating all the evidences and looking into every possible angle becomes the main reason behind the delay in delivering the verdict. But I hope that soon this system will be changed and the delay time will be reduced.

Day 453

    Well, it’s been always said that Indian judiciary is the most lengthy judiciary process in the world. It’s true also that if you file a case then there is no surety that the verdict will come soon. Many high profile cases has taken long time as much close three decades. Here I would like to take the example of Babri mosque. After 27 years of demolishing the mosque, the Supreme Court of India has given the final verdict in this case. Same thing happened in very high profile cases also. But few cases are there where the judgement has come in less spam of time like seven years. Here I’m talking about the Nirbhaya case, where the four remaining culprits have been awarded death sentence by the court.

    We all remember the barbaric act of six animal mentality persons who did this inhuman act. One of the six persons committed suicide in the jail and one was released by the court under Juvenile law as he was under legal age at the time of crime. This judgement made my faith in the court a bit shattered. If a 17 year boy can rape a girl then he can’t be treated as an underage person. But the law is law. Surprisingly, the same convict was offered monetary support and a sewing machine to open a ladies tailoring shop by Mr Arvind Kejrival. He I                                              s the same person who always says that his priority is to give freedom and security of women in his state. But I doubt his mental state. Anyway, I won’t comment on his metal state now.

    The convicts were to be hanged on 22^nd January but there was some technical issues so new death warrants was issued and now they will be hanged on 1^st February. All the precautions and proceedings are been taking place to monitor them round the clock in the Tihar jail. The convicts have tried their every legal way to get their death sentence diverted into life imprisonment but all the things have turned against them. Even the President of India has denied their demand of pardoning their death sentence. This has proved that now the culprits won’t be spared at any cost. I think this is a good think. If you have brutally killed a person then you should be hanged. It’s true that tit for tat isn’t the right thing but sometimes it become utmost necessary to take revenge otherwise there will be detonation in the society. Sometimes, non-violence leads to covertness and encourage violence to expand its wings.

    But one questions comes in my mind. Why this is still happening in India? Why the number of rape cases isn’t down falling? Why the rape victims aren’t going to the courts for the right verdict? Recently, the same type of rape case happened in Hyderabad also where a vetnary doctor was raped by four men. Why our society is going so down morally? Why the females are still seen as sex objects in the society? These questions needed to be answer. Some strong steps has to be taken by the society first. Then we can expect something from the government and the court of law. Actually, until and unless we get our mindsets changed till then nothing is going to happen. We need to change the mindsets of everyone in the society.

    For these, we need to change the mind-set of the parents first. Still, there are many states in our country where till date boys are given preference over the girls. Still the mind-set is there that boys are the carrier of the family linage to the next generation.

    I think that there are many reasons of the social mind-set. One of the reasons has been mentioned in the above paragraph. Second reason is that there are many states in our country where the female to male ratio is very less. This means there are more number of males in comparison of females. Third reason is the lack of formal sex education in our educational system. Still sex is considered as an objectionable subject in our education system. In my view, unless and until, we don’t do anything in this direction then we can’t eradicate this mentality. I’m not saying that we will eradicate this mentality hundred percent but we can bring some change by changing the mind-set.

     Recently, I saw a video on a social networking site. Two young girls were wearing shorts and shirts and they were sitting in a public place and were talking amongst themselves. Many boys were just staring at them. Few times they have changed their seats and one boy was always seen sitting next to those girls and it was quiet clear that he was chasing them. The audio wasn’t clear at that time, but it seems he was taunting them. Other boys and males were looking at those girls and the boy but none of public was doing anything except watching the show. Suddenly, a boy came forward and started questioning the person who was commenting the girls. The person vanished soon but more people came there again with that boy. These people were filming the whole thing from a distance and when the boy was asked that what forced him to come in defence of the girls then the boy said that he observed that he felt uncomfortable when the girls were been targeted and none came forward for the defence of the girls. Actually, this video has depicted the true mentality of our society. This has to be changed. We need to change the system. Believe me, no government can work alone until the public will support it.

   

Day 452

I used to think that JNU is one of the top most centres for higher studies in India. Getting admitted to JNU really proves the intellectual of the students. But the recent activities in JNU campus is forcing me to think that has the renowned university become the centre for protests and vandalism? Anything happens and there is strike and violence in the JNU campus. What is going on there? Whole situation is becoming like a ticking time bomb which will blast any day and the consequence will be not good for the future of the students and it will definitely damage the name and fame of the JNU.

I wonder that why the so called intellectual students are raising anti national slogans in the campus. Why they are shouting ‘Kashmir ki azadi tak jung chalegi, Bharat ke barbadi tak jung chalegi’? Why the students are ashamed that the killers of a terrorist are alive? Are the students studying there were family members or friends of Afzal Guru? Students were gathering in the campus to celebrate the killing of 72 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh who were killed by the Naxalites. Various faces came out of JNU after these protests like Kanhiya Kumar and Umar Khalid. Personally speaking, I think JNU must be proud of Kanhiya Kumar who is very much ashamed that Afzal Guru’s killers that means Indian army is still alive.

I think JNU should introduce patriotism as a compulsory subject in its curriculum. Then only the students will understand the value and services given to the country by the Indian army and para military forces. I wonder how the JNU administration could can allow the meeting of the students who wanted to celebrate the killing of 72 CRPF personnel. Who are those teachers who are teaching anti country subject to the students studying in JNU? Is JNU becoming the centre of anti-national campaigns?

Here I would like to ask few questions to Kanhaiya Kumar. Why did he want to fight till the destruction of India? What are his political or personal revenge against the entire country? Why he idolise Afzal Guru? A person who was known as a terrorists by the entire world how became the idol of a brilliant student like Kanhaiya Kumar. I have seen many political debates on the various television channels where Kanhaiya Kumar has asked that why he wasn’t arrested by the police if he was guilty of anti-national activities. But surprisingly, to encase his popularity after the so called protest in the JNU campus, he contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election from his native place. No wonder he was rejected by the voters because voters won’t tolerate anti national person to be their representative.

Day 451

    I won’t say that I’m late again. Every time I have decided to write continuously then something happens and my aim to write continuously is hampered. Many times I have asked the same question to myself. Only answer which I get is my professional life. I don’t know how others get time to pursue their hobbies.

   Not only the professional life is the sole reason but sometimes I feel that lack of idea is also one of the main reason. Few days back or rather say couple of months back, I was talking with one of my old friends. He has just starting blogging and he was asking me that why I have left blogging. I told him that I haven’t left blogging but told him the true answers which I have written above. He laughed and said that due to me he has started writing blog and I have become inactive. Due to his little encouragement and I would like to add a little push from his side, I thought to start writing again.

    I haven’t decided to focus on the topics on which I have to write because that makes me more late to write because I want to write on something based on some conclusion. Conclusive thinking makes a presentation nicer. That’s the thing which I always keep in my mind.

    I think I should stop here for today. There has to be some work done before writing my next post. In the end, I would again like to say thanks to my friend who has ignited a small spark in me to write again. I hope and I wish that this time the spark turns into a flame of the torch.
