Gandhi, no saint

Gandhi was not flawless. He used everyone and everything for political purposes. Ok, no sin, but he also let himself be used by others. He could have avoided partition but joined Jinnah and Nehru. Only thing we don't know is at what stage he entered this conspiracy.

Who is Abu Hanifa

In Quran, there is an elaborate procedure for divorce and it provides for 3 months grace period in which a man can take back his divorce and start living again with his wife. And mind you, a man can take this step 3 times in his lifetime.
  Then, one Abu Hanifa appears from nowhere and goes against the Quran, says there is no grace period, not even 3 minutes. You utter the word and you lose her. If you want to get back her, go for halala. This is Abu Hanifa. Rubbish 

Tolerant Muslims

Many political comentators in India think that Muslims have become wiser to understand the motives of hardline outfits. That, they don't get provoked easily any more.
All that may be true, but now they need to turn the heat on themselves. They need to be more educated, more civilised and more tolerant to be able to face the onslaught of hardliners. They also need to open channels of communications with ordinary Hindus. They should stop depending on political equations and embark on a social assimilation programme. 

Why Poverty?

Nobody want to give answer to the question why is poverty on the rise in the world. Lots of people boast about  breakthroughs in technology, scientific research, newer medicines, faster planes, sophisticated mobiles, rising stock markets. Can we safely assume all these things are causing misery among people all over the world?   

Hilarious situation

Crime against women are on the rise in Indian capital, or should we say all over India. Elders say if women want old-time safety and dignity they should wear clothes what they wore in old times and also behave in old style. But women are adamant in having their cakes and eating them too. It's a hilarious situation. Women, in skimpy clothes, are standing on the roads, holding placards which read, "you rape, we chop". Women are demanding they should be allowed to wear whatever they want, they want to drink and party anywhere they want, they also want a law that puts behind bars anybody who opens his mouth against new clothes and new behavior. Elders and old timers are sure a day will come when women will rue their new style.

New Pope

   A new Pope has been chosen and it is being said he brings new hopes as if the previous Pope had become hopeless. A very sad commentary. For the very first time a Pope had to declare he would obey new Pope. Pope Benedict was the best among his peers. He was doing a very good job. He should have been persuaded to stay on.

Next Technology Wave

Technology has always been a double-edged sword. This time around it's a threat to lawyers and doctors. Software is being readied to do the routine work of doctors and lawyers. But perhaps they deserve it. They have long ceased to be friends of humanity. They have been fleecing the people with utmost disdain. We can safely conclude it's a scam. It needs to be crushed. But there is another bigger threat. Companies providing healthcare and legal aid will be the next monster. Or, is it already in place?
