Over inflated ego

I don’t think that refusal to talk with General Kayani is because of over inflated ego of some IFS officers. Indian external affairs talked to the Generals in Myanmar, without any hassle. I think there is some other problem. I think that the problem is that Kayani is not interested in talking to them. He wants defeat of India. He doesn’t care about talking. And so, our own General Singh should make ready to talk to him. On the battlefield, one day, in his own language, and teach him a lesson.
 
Adi Anilraj

We have heard and read in a lot of media articles regarding "corruption". What has the government done to eradicate this in the last 5 decades? The answer is " NOTHING".
Recently a few months ago, Atul Kumar, SAG/IRSS and working as Controller of Stores, Metro Railway had written about teh rampant corruption going around in the last decade to the Railway Board.
As a matter of sheer coincidence, Shiv Karan Singh, Spl corresspondent with "The Statesman" Bhopal edition in his write up from 27th to 30th June'2010 had highlighted the rampant corruption prevailing in Indian Railways, especially the mechanical Directorate.
Strangely, the action taken by Member Mechanical, Railway Board Sanjeev Handa is to transfer Atul Kumar, COS, Metro Railway to Central Railway.
Is this a reward or a punishment for Atul Kumar for Crusading against corruption.

Prabhakar, Kharagpur.
