                                                                   (Image credit-Google) Those of you who have read the Holy Bible would know that it contains solutions not only for spiritual problems, but also for all practical problems of daily living. In the Old Testaments, Moses frees around 20 lac Israelites ,from the bonds of 400 years of slavery in Egypt and led them to Canaan, the land promised by God to them .Canaan is part of the present day Israel . The great historic  journey of 20 lac Israelites from Egypt to Canaan took  40 long years though the undulating deserts of the Middle East.This journey is covered in detail in the book of Exodus in the Holy Bible .

Are Genders Really Equal ?

  Not a day passes these days without a debate on ‘Man Vs Woman’-‘Gender Bias’, ‘Equality between the sexes’ etc. in TV,print media or Symposiums. Does this subject merit a debate or discussion, first of all? I’am  afraid that a critical look at the matter with an open mind, will not only prove it unworthy of discussion but also  to be harmful to the mankind (?) to an irreversible degree. Is 1 equal to 2 ?          The entire inspiration for the debate on ‘Gender Equality’ springs from outright denial of a hard fact,that man and woman are not ‘created’ equal.Weight,height,pulse-rate,feelings,emotions,structure,IQ,EQ(Emotional Quotient),Infant Mortality,Stress,Strain,Disease patterns,Communication pattern, everything is different for the sexes.Differences are sharp and more pronounced than commonalities present, if any.Hence it should be amply clear that there is nothing shocking or surprising  in unequals getting unequal treatment. Sort  Of Ying Yang !  But,I would hasten to add that t

The Unconstitutional Methods of Hindi Imposition.

                                                              It’s interesting to note that in India,there are things which thrive without any sort of law required to enforce it and things which cannot survive even if you have a stiff constitutional law enacted for ensuring it! Some examples may help one to understand it clearly. While approving residential layouts,reserving ‘recreation space’ is compulsory.So while obtaining approval,some space is shown for recreation and approval obtained.Later,that space is never used as a park but ends up as a vacant bushy space for stray dogs to play around.Thus the law promoting recreation space in residential areas never works in India! But,take the case of providing a temple in a layout.There is no mandatory requirement for provision of a temple for layout approval but a temple comes up automatically,as people are interested in it. So it’s the ‘interest’ factor that drives one to act more than the threat of punishment under law. Promotion of Hi

Approach Supreme Court for striking down Hindi imposition policy of the centre.

Hindi imposition amounts to discrimination based on language which is in violation of Art. 14 of the constitution.  Why not the  p olitical parties like DMK or NTK    approach the  Supreme Court for striking down the policy? Article 15 of Constitution says 15. Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth (1)  The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them DID YOU NOTICE THAT ‘LANGUAGE’ IS OMITTED? Why? LHR -Linguistic Human Rights  is a major area of global judicial activism .Linguistic human rights (LHRs) are analysed as one type of human right, reflecting an inalienable norm Rights are needed for speakers of dominated languages, who individually and collectively experience linguistic ‘wrongs’, marginalization, and ultimately the extinction of the languages. Wikipedia says ”Individual linguistic rights are provided for in the  Universal Declarati
