School dropouts, minor drug addicts and those involved in crime to getting vocational training in fashion designing, video editing, yoga, among others.
It's our instinctive reaction: have problem, ban something.It solves nothing, and leaves Indians getting on with life at certainty of violating the law.
For a government so endowed with modern, mostly foreign-educated offspring of old party stalwarts, it is phenomenally inadequate when it comes to dealing with protests.
The people of conflict-torn Manipur will have every right to feel betrayed if the new government doesn’t break its silence and show its commitment to addressing the state's issues.
Move to bring down differences in commodity prices with neighbouring states, says government. Oppn, dealers blame it on welfare, Congress's guarantees.
Occasional lovers’ tiffs have marked history of RSS-BJP relations. To think that Nagpur will bring about any change in leadership is a misreading of both its intent and its power.
Purely cynical. The biggest problem the police faces today in India is the crisis of its own leadership. Who needs to take the lead in demanding proper tools (the changed laws) ? Who needs to make sure that crime is freely registered? Who needs to ask for more policemen for a big population like India’s? Who needs to make sure that the vacancies of already sanctioned police personnel do not remain vacant ? Who needs to make sure that recruitment of constables remains fair and honest? Who needs to make sure that Delhi Police does not play with Union Home Ministry in targeting the Aam Adami Party disproportionately? Who needs to tell police not to play to media and not to leak the crucial information till the investigation completes? Who will make sure that crime scene must be protected and searched thoroughly (Arushi murder case)?
All the problems are thrown at ‘others’: politicians, media, civil society, NGOs, criminals- and at the end the poor ‘citizens’. This is called ‘police syndrome’: police is the only organ which is right and is doing its job right. It is time to realize that the problems of the police are internal and not external. Because acceptance of the problem is the necessary first step towards its solution.
