  1. Am not too much in favour of a trial by the media but in the case of the retired DG of Haryana, would strongly advocate a media campaign.
  2. In cases of rape and molestation where the accused is a public servant, the court should provide witness protection and fast-track justice.
  3. Wonder how CBI could say they are satisfied with the judgment and the sentence in the Ruchika case. Cop Rathore deserves social ostracism.
  4. The Ruchika case angers you. It takes away your sense of journalistic restraint, neutrality and calm. The molestation damaged so many lives.
  5. Every sad story has a silver lining. Hats off to the girl's friend's father who fought the case for a dead girl for nineteen long years.
  6. And justice comes 19 years after the incident. The girl took her own life bcos the cop made her family go thru hell. No punishment is enuf.
  7. Molestation leading to suicide of a girl in Punjab. And the top cop who did it gets 6 months' rigorous imprisonment and a Rs 1000 fine. Sad.
  8. A.R.Rahman is CNN-iBN Indian of the yr. PM gives away the award at a moving function at Taj Palace, Delhi. Watch the full show on CNN-IBN.
  9. @dilipthecherian Think from the Nineties, post liberalization, post Ram Mandir movement, middle class has changed a lot. No empirical study.
  10. @telukir I believe in complete freedoms. Don't subscribe to Modi's view on compulsory voting. Nothing is compulsory in a genuine democracy.
  11. We always assumed that middle class cherished values. Doubt if it holds good anymore. Sociologists must do field study & publish findings.
  12. The question about middle class is can a guy who takes home more than Rs 12 lakh a year be called middle class. What is the bottom end like?
  13. Wonder if sociologists have begun an empirical study of the new middle class. With such salary variation, middle class has to be redefined.
  14. Congress and Mayawati are competing for the Dalit vote by playing with the future of judiciary. A ridiculous display of electoral ambitions.
  15. Protecting Dinakaran because he is a Dalit only means that you are taking Dalits for granted. It will only widen the existing social rift.
  16. This is why affirmative action gets a bad name in this country. We extend Dalit concerns to a point that we assume a Dalit can do no wrong.
  17. Caste concerns are good but can't be stretched to interfere with the country's judicial integrity. Being a Dalit doesn't absolve Dinakaran.
  18. Saikat Datta's rice Import scam story in Outlook is great. Now the Ghana govt wants Kamal Nath and his previous Commerce ministry probed.
  19. Most political leaders flow with the tide, only a few try to change the course of history. Rightly or otherwise, advani is 1 of those few
  20. End of a huge and complex political career if advani retires today. In future, we'll probably talk about the Advani model of party-building.
