Issue of abandonment of the wife is at the heart of the argument against instant divorce. The government wants to criminalise the act but only for Muslim men. Abandonment is not criminally punishable for members of other communities. Why, asks

Question for : Since Kishore Biyani or Mukesh Ambani can do as much "deep discounting" as they like -- as RJio did -- Indian retailers will be hit by this too, right? Why is it ok to get mauled by Biyani-Ambani? Because they're Indian?

Nobody tells you the real problem in the farm crisis which is that there was no real money backing MSP. There is simply not enough money with Govt. to buy even a fraction of what was on offer by farmers. MSP was a sham.

The problem with India is not the masses who are decent & secular.The problem is jokers like you who think WhatsApp is a university, that minority bashing is patriotism,that owning a smart phone makes you smart & that the way ahead for India is to relive the battles of the past. t.co/Sh9Dcra0Bz

In the history of statistical techniques for collating national economic data, India stands out for pioneering work in the 1950s. Quite remarkable. Credit goes to Mahalanobis for his scientific talent & Nehru for talent spotting & providing the environment for maths & science.

So housing finance companies & finance companies meet and plead for bailout. At our cost. How about punishing HFCs who lent more to realty companies when their mandate was to lend to people? They helped keep prices artificially high and will get dole?😡🤬

Utterly scandalous that in a democratic country, a journalist can be locked up for a year without trial for criticising the government, PM, CM. Even the courts are taking this scandal lightly: #KishorechandraWagkhem will be heard by HC only Feb 1.

Demonetisation cost India a direct loss of $ 25 billion in lost output. Indirect losses would be about 2 to 3 times that amount.
The loss was more than the loss caused by all the wars that India has fought since 1947. Who is India’s enemy if not ignorance?

15 miners have been struggling for air in a flooded coal mine for two weeks.
Meanwhile, PM struts about on Bogibeel Bridge posing for cameras.
His government refuses to organise high pressure pumps for the rescue.
PM please save the miners.

All 10 objections were overruled by Modi himself as chair of CCS. None of these objections were pointed out to the SC by the govt, which said that the decision was taken by consensus. Instead, govt lied in the sealed cover given to SC, saying that price was examined by CAG & PAC
