AI Management’s gag order was on orders of the Aviation Ministry!!!
And why this was done is no mystery!!
 
Aviation Ministry and AI know the scum that can come out!!!!
People say what else can you expect when the Minister is a lout!!
 
The gag order caused the strike and the strike cost AI dearly!!!
As it is Indian’s National career is ‘trudging along wearily’!!!
 
This gag order cost AI about Rs. 12 crore in cash!!!
And AI’s reputation already in the trashcan sunk deeper in the trash!
 
Bail is being sought for Rathor on medical grounds!!
Says ‘he suffers from a heart ailment’ …. how true this sounds???
 
Rathor’s heart ailment is he has a heart of stone!!!
And the cure for this ailment is the patient should be kept alone!!
 
And without a doubt ideal place for such seclusion is the jail!!!
So there……. Court has grounds to refuse him bail!!
 
Bhabi Jaya has ditched Dewar Amar!!!
And this comes as a blow to Amar’s already bent political kamar!!
 
She’s got a re-nomination to RS on a SP ticket!!!
She’s given Amar a wound which he will sit quietly and ‘lick it’!!
 
Does this qualify Amar to apply for dosti with Congress?????
And SP ne dosti and dushmani ke buttons simultaneously kiye press!!
 
SP offered support to Congress and then re-nominated an archenemy of Congress!!
Its like PL 480 wheat largesse that came with grass de Congress!!
 
Amar is hanging on to politics because his astrologer has said ‘ good times are coming’!
Predicted that his political career will again be humming!!
 
Though many like me will say ‘ Amar’s best is over’!!!
Now his political fortunes will move lower and lower!!
 
Laloo they say is going to become a veggie again to get back power in Bihar!
His astrologer blames his turning a non-vegetarian as the reason for his ‘haar’!!!!
 
And if Laloo is able to come to power in Bihar then it is Bihar’s bad luck!!!
It’ll be like Biharis ne Bihar ko wapas garbage bin mein kiya chuck!!
 
But this time taking a page from his stint as Rail Mantri he will ‘loot and window dress’!
Loot Bihar and show as if under him all problems in Bihar he has been able to redress!
 
Then students from Business schools will come to hear him talk on Bihar’s turnaround!
Though turnaround will be on paper and on ground nothing will be found!!
 
Confucius says…… as per Laloo ‘all the people can be fooled time and again’!!
His logic is public memory is short and negativity does wane!!

With due respects to Sri Saxena, Sri Choudhary for their intentions noble, but just looking at the venom and vitriolic spewed on this site by the educated chaterrati towards Dalits and Tribals sharing a small pie i;e Reservations, the reality is that caste will never vanish even if some people genuinely want to. After all Reservations form just 22.5% and having got that thanks to Babasahab after years of subjugation and a life of indignity. Pity even this is not appreciated by the so called Others who for centuries have enjoyed open reservation.
Reservation is not bakshish but the legitimate right from the society that for centuries has subjugated the Dalits and Tribals. When it suited them, the Aryan invaders perpetuated caste with such impunity to have a control over the masses and now With the gradual upliftment and development of the Shudras which is seen as a challenge to their hegemony they are suddenly shouting from roof tops - Caste should be abolished, reservations should be abolished. The truth is that it is not caste they want to abolish but in reality it’s the reservations that is disturbing them as it is leading to empowerment of the downtrodden. The devious games these Aryans play.

Misinformation
It is appalling to see people say that the developed SC/ST's do not care for their lesser brethren. Somebody wrote K.R. Narayana's spouse kept him away from his community as if he had actually lived with them. Please check facts instead of trying to mislead people. We know what we are doing for our brethren and we don't need a certificate to glorify our work. Rotten apples may be present but don't they exist in all communities. Helping, sharing, compassion has nothing to do with caste, it is related to human nature. There are SC/STs who not only help their people but also the OC's liberally. If Paswan kicked his wife out, it has nothing to do with caste but the male species are such, why drag in caste. An open secret in rural areas many upper caste women mate with lower castes. The Nair women practiced Sambandam which allowed them to choose lovers both successive and simultaneously and also have a husband at the same time should we then say that all Nair women are promiscuous.

Is it not the CSS who ruined other Central Civil Services?
Ruhan (who must be a CSS officer) has written an open RTI application for the DOP&T about the CSS. But, one must remember that the CSS officers are responsible for ruining the career prospects of other Central Civil Services. For instance, Data Entry Operators of the SSC - attached office of the DOP&T didn't get any promotion even after 20 years. Their revised pay-scale under the so-called ACP Scheme is much lower than their present basic pay. They are not being allowed to appear for any Departmental Examination (even Group D staff have the said facility) for fast track promotion. Finally, they are not being paid the similar pay-scale which is being paid to their counter-parts working in various sub-ordinate offices. I hope Ruhan will satisfy what the CSS getting now is more than they deserve when it compared to other Central Civil Services. All the Data Entry Operators have been selected based on their overall performance in All India Open Competitive Written Examination, Computer Data Entry Skill Test and Interview vide the 'Key Punch Operators Examination,1989'. The Recruitment Rules indicates that 3 promotions in the span of 12 years. But, in reality, there is no promotion even after 20 years. Only the CSS has to be blamed for the worst service conditions of the DEOs of the SSC.

Epitome of virtue
The Cabinet Secretary is undoubtedly one of the best bureaucrats in the country. That is why he was appointed CS. But, for how long. Granting extension gives a signal as if others in the queue are incompetent, besides many competent bureaucrats losing hope of getting this coveted posting. In fact, such favours may suit politicians but not honest bureaucrats. It is high time that senior bureaucrats, including CS, should come forward and reject such favours in the national interest and discourage those (politicians) politicizing bureaucracy. In any case, an officer of the level of CS is not going to retire without reward. Past records show that they have all been awarded suitably on retirement (appointed Governors, Ambassadors etc.).

RTI against DoPT
Seeking information through RTI is no more effective tool now. Till Secretary-level officer is made an Information Officer and Minister In-charge as Appellate Authority, the Act will remain a toothless paper tiger. The RTI raised against DoPT will also meet the same feet, i.e. the same is being forwarded to IO for compliance. Appropriate action on such application is when Secretary incharge asks the subordinates to submit the file to him with all facts and reasons for delay in, say, a week’s time. But, is that possible in Govt. of India. If action like that is taken, most of the babus would sit idle most of the days.

Creamy layer amidst Dalits reaping benefits
Babasahib Ambedkar is a national leader and a great economist. It is the creamy layer amidst the Dalits ( and who are reaping the benefits of reservation policy for generations) who make him small by making him only a Dalit icon. He has made a major contribution in formulating our constitution but even he has not suggested or expected to continue this type of reservation indefinitely. Do our pro-reservationists listen to him. Do they not agree that this reservation has not helped Dalit poor but only a few creamy layerers. Our Dalit brothers are quite intelligent. Give them all facilities, they can compete with anybody in any examinations. I feel the vociferous protagonists of reservation who spew venom against other castes are the ones who corner all benefits by generations.

Is it fair?
When it comes to marriage to be arranged 99% of you go by caste when it comes to jobs you want not on the basis of caste. Is it fair? In response to view on caste based reservation.
