Pulling out of RCEP was not only an economic decision. It involved taking a call not just on India’s foreign policy but also on India’s role in evolving world.
Pakistan politics is once again at a turning point when Maulana will try to repeat what Imran Khan and another PTI-supported mullah did to Nawaz Sharif.
Approach taken by India’s courts & tribunals should be questioned, but it is also necessary to acknowledge that courts act in response to state failures.
India already has a trade deficit with 11 RCEP countries. Potential losses from foreign goods, who would find more space in Indian market, likely led to rejection.
Mainstream historians have deliberately suppressed facts in textbooks. Medieval period was not about idyllic Ganga-Jamuni tradition they want us to believe.
The solution is to shift more farmers of Punjab & Haryana from paddy to vegetables, fruits. Govt has to nudge farmers using incentives & disincentives.
In the centuries to come, economist Bibek Debroy's Mahabharata will attain the importance we attach to the texts of Shankara, Ramanuja, and Madhvacharya.

The decorated Naga officer from Manipur also served as envoy to Myanmar & Nagaland chief secy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated a museum dedicated to the Tawang hero Thursday.
Congress is silently acknowledging it over-read verdict of last general election. You can see it in easy concession to SP. It will likely be more reasonable in Maharashtra & Jharkhand.
It is the judiciary that requires total overhaul. They are not only a total failure they are also promoters of abuse of authority by other agents of governance. The police are a stressed lot because they are pressurized by the politicians, babus and the judiciary. And how do they keep their sanity alive? By getting their frustrations out on the common man. Of course there are bad hats in the police but compared to the larger force these are few in numbers. Whereas in the judiciary it is the other way around. I have to admit, for arguments sake at least, that there will be good judges and lawyers, but I haven’t across any.
Ill treatment of police force, not giving them stress free environment to work and live, have their careers and stable family lives at the mercy of superior police officers (IPS) and political masters.. these are some of the ways in which our system controls and exploits the entire society. As responsible citizens, we should fight for our police force, because they cannot fight for themselves. We have to stand up for them and demand their independence at work, better living and working conditions, ability to do honest work without getting harassed by means of transfers or suspensions.
You are portraying the the policeman as the angels of justice, whereas, in reality the police is nothing more than the dacoits with licence to loot. Their behaviour and way of talking is pathetic.public see them as most corrupt people who think as beating, demanding bribes and misbehaving with public is their birthright. Now the advocates have shown them, who is the Father in court complex… its very good thing and even public should unite with the advocates and give the police taste of their own medicine…
Whole media is stressing upon the action taken by the advocates but nobody is raising question as to how the police had the courage to drag the advocate into the cell and for what….to have discussion over coffee…i guess. It was actually, the old habit of thinking themselves as law…
Good job done Advocates..
Let me clarify here that neither i belong to Adv fraternity nor against the police..my views are based on my observations of the system ..
The Police brass have no guts to defend their own. It is easy to intimidate the subordinates than to defend them before the public.
On 2nd March 2012, when Gali Janardhana Reddy, the mining baron of Bellary was brought to Sessions Court premises in Bengaluru, an orchastrated riot broke out. There was certainly no provocation for the lawyers to attack the Police and the Public. Though Bengaluru police also stretch palm for petty bribe, they are not highhanded. So the public sympathy lie with the Police, not with the lawyers.
But, my experience in north India is different. When I was riding in car from Delhi to Hardwar, the police stopped as the driver was not wearing seat belt. The pollce said”What do you think bastard, you come from Delhi, and you can violate our laws? He tried to slap the driver. We the passengers intervened and requested him not to be violent. He stopped. In South India, you don’t see a policeman suddenly attacking a civilian without provocation. This may not represent the conduct of police in entire Delhi, or UP or north India. But, I have sensed an agressiveness amongst police. But, this does not mean that lawyers, who belong to learned profession should act like thug, beatup and humiliate the police, who are definitely less learned than the lawyers. If the lawyers are not booked for attacking the police, the unruly behaviour of lawyers will spread across the country.

Delhi police are cowards
Ran from lawyers like dogs, beat up young girls and boys. Brave dogs
Delhi police are cowards.
They ran like dogs, with their tail between their legs when attacked by lawyers.
And beat up girls and boys from the Jamia
university
Any guess why these guys, top to bottom, are
despised ?!!!
Delhi police , corrupt cowards
Run away from the lawyers who thrashed them. Beat up girls and boys !!!
We wait for a rally by the wives and daughters of these cowards, celebrating their bravery, valour and courage

Very reasonable thoughts bringing out the difficult situations under which the personnel are performing demanding duties.
