FORUM

It 's not correct
It isn't correct to say that only UP State has Cabinet Secretary. The Chief Secretary of the state is also called as Cabinet Secretary.

T Ramachandru ,IAS

Indian Forest Service is IFS
Srivastava is quite right in saying that IFS is an All India Service, well entrenched by now (39 years old). IFoS is used in LBS Academy Mussoorie during Foundational Course (held for all the Services) for limited purpose of drawing distinction between the officers of this Service (AIS) and the Indian Foreign Service (Central Service) which is limited to the duration of this common Course only. Use of the abreviation IFoS thereafter for this All India Service is neither called for nor would it be correct because the mention of State with year of allotment i.e KK Gupta, IFS(HP:71), automatically signifies clear cut distinction from the Indian Foreign Service which being a Central Service, the officer belonging to this Service can only have his year of allotment (and not the name of the State) suffixed to his nam.

K B Man

IFS means Indian Forest Service
I fully agree with Deepak Shrivastava s comments that IFS has been shown as short form for Indian Forest Service at the time of its constitution and it should not be changed as IFoS by some body at his sweet will.

Why this criticism ?
Those criticising Pratibha Patil for her remarks on 'purdah' are either oblivious or intolerant of a glaring historical truth. It is a fact of history that 'purdah' simply didn't exist in the pre-moslem Indian society and became prevalent only to protect our women from the lustful advances of those males who were either part of or closely aligned with the State apparatus after the advent of the muslim rulers (mughals as well as those who attacked and enslaved India prior to the mughals),. This fact is borne out from historical accounts of Greeks dating back to 3rd and 4th century BC right upto the 11th century account given by Alberuni. Let us not communalise history by wishing away hard facts. Let our moslem brethren also not react over sensitively. If a practice that was perceived to be desirable or inevitable during the moslem rule in India is considered a social evil today why should the moslem citizens of the country today should feel guilty or even responsible for the same. The spirit of what Pratibha Patil has said must be understood properly. 'Purdah' came to indian society at a time when it was necessary for the protection of women. Today that necessity no longer exists. So give up purdah, don't continue with it. That's all she has said. What is wrong or communal about it?
N N Ojha

Calling by caste should be abolished
Calling by caste should be abolished and who calls a particular man/women by his/her caste should be jailed. Those who stay in India should be an INDIAN and he/she should abide the rule of the India and not a particular caste's rule like MUSLIM's interpretation about their own feeling about thier sisters and/or daughters. Be an Indian AND NOT A Hindu or Muslim or Christan.
