I don't subscribe to the attitude of MNS
I am from a north Indian state and I do not subscribe to the attitude adopted by MNS and its leadership in Maharashtra. I am of the view that law of the land should be fully enforced by the rulers. Punishment as per law must be given to the culprits, irrespective of their status and power. But at the same time I feel that there is a time for introspection. Why the people are forced to suffer humiliation time and again. The so called leaders are saying so much now. Have they got any answer for totally non-development of their States? While some States e.g. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra. Gujarat, Punjab have progressed well and now migration from these States is at a minimum level. Even Orissa, West Bengal and north-east is taking care towards all-round development and progress. But the powerful leaders of these States and high level talented officials occupying high level posts in the Government are totally blind towards the progress and well being of their people. Therefore, poor people are left with no option but to migrate where they think they have some chance of livelihood and get targeted. If leadership remains mute towards its people, then some time in Assam, sometime in Maharashtra, some time in small pockets of other States these monsters will raise their heads time and again in some form or the other, because it is very easy for them to mislead the local people. It is a high time to go to the root cause of the problem with long term remedial measures instead of indulging in petty politics.

CEC's views are unconstitutional
The views expressed by CEC on banning any government servant joining politics as expressed in your site is unconstitutional because the right to fight elections is a fundamental right as provided in Right to Express in our constitution. I think time will answer my question!. There will be a time in India when the working officers will take leave to fight elections.

Americans have a penchant for doing the wrong
The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?' The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. 'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.' She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little
dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honor! This American should be put in his place!'
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up,
'Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your cars on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to
