Killing in the name of God- "The Ayodhya Issue"
Ayodhya issue is once again in the limelight, thanks to Justice Liberhan. I’ll take up the entire issue from scratch because most youngsters of my generation don’t even know about it.
Compulsory Voting- Right or Duty?
I really liked the idea of making voting compulsory for residents of Gujarat recent elections to a local self-governing body. It indeed is one of the bravest moves taken by a state government in a long long time. Even states Himanchal Pradesh are willing it implement it. But a few questions will be asked like voting is a right and not a duty. Compulsory voting is against Article 14 & 19 of the Indian Constitution. One good thing about the bill is that it allows negative voting if the voter does not wish to vote for any of the listed contestants.
It feels like yesterday
It is 5 years since the giant sea waves hit the Indian coasts. A few minutes back I realized that it is also five years since the time a few engineering students gathered in front of the hostel mess at this hour of night. It was just around this time that on a cold winter night they decided that they will not wait with folded hands to see what will be announced next. It was just this time when resolves were made and decisions taken.
Sachin vs Politics
Though I'm not a hardcore cricket fan, I recently watched a few matches and lo! Sachin is just the same!! His simplicity, humbleness, adaptability, schoolboy-like enthusiasm is off comparision. He recently crossed 30,000 runs in international cricket. And I'm pretty sure, he'll soon hit a 100 centuries.
Selflessness and Purity
Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world.
A wake up call!
Well, Finally landed here! New in the 'arena', so Kindly bear with me.
Am I worthy enough?
I have been a part of Sankalp for more than two years now. I see my thoughts coming into action here. I see the youth of my motherland constantly working for the cause of 100% voluntary blood donation- the blood revolution. 30 odd people, who have given their blood, sweat, tears and lives to serve for the cause- their nation. People who are highly inspired by the great men and women who sacrificed their lives for "freedom", for "revolution". The future of India rests with the youth. They are the salt of the earth. WE are the salt of the earth.
