Another rape and murder has occurred in Delhi. The Delhi police has caught the perpetrator quickly. The law enforcement agencies have done an excellent job. There is one issue here, though. Why is it that heinous crimes are rising in the country? The reason is that nobody is afraid of the law. Why is this so? Society and the judiciary are too liberal. Crimes like theft are considered to be commonplace and let off very lightly by the criminal justice system. The criminal gets emboldened and commits more crimes. Some graduate to politics and become role models for others in society who feel that crime pays. Harsh punishment is not given. Bail is the norm. The accused have too many human rights. The possibility of reform is oft quoted as a ground for diluting punishment. All this liberalism is leading society nowhere. It is all misplaced. Due to all this, criminals get emboldened more and more and more and more people turn criminals. Persons accused of rape and murder are often let off citing juvenility. Loopholes are taken advantage of by the criminals. Death punishment is given in only the so-called "rarest of rare" cases. Sentences are diluted citing procedural delays or the possibility of reform of the criminals. Criminals serving life sentences are released citing good behaviour or some obscure provisions in the law after a few years. In this whole process, the victim is lost sight of. Will all the liberalism of society bring the dead girl back? An innocent life nipped in the bud by a criminal. What about her parents and family? The trauma they have will last their lifetimes. Misplaced sympathy for criminals is leading society nowhere, except leading to more and more horrendous crime. Perpetrators of heinous crime should be given a jury trial since judges have become inured to crime. For judges, crime is so commonplace that it has lost its horror. Bail should not be the norm. Enlarging heinous criminals upon bail should be done carefully. Harsh sentences should be the norm. A high security prison in the Lakshdweep islands should be constructed for perpetrators of heinous crimes like rape and murder and criminals sent there for life, never to return to society. All this liberalism and prison reform like open jails and what not are actually harmful for society and leading to severe increase in crime. What we need is zero tolerance for crime. Otherwise, society should be prepared for more and more crime and more and more pain. Does society want that only criminals should have rights and decent citizens continue suffering at the hands of criminals forever?

[12:30 pm, 25/4/2026] Harsha Bhatnagar: Pay parity
Pay parity for similar jobs is a common issue - whether private sector or public sector. In fact, within the government too, there would be different remuneration for similar job. It remains to be seen how the issue is resolved as it continues to crop up every now and then. Teaching is a noble profession, which should be given a special preference. There should be a minimum which should be paid for doing the job, irrespective of the classes a teacher teaches, or the gender or the sector in which the person is working. Teachers should be given a place of pride, not merely on the teacher's day.

Vice Admiral
In theory, any Vice Admiral holding an appointment of FOCinC or equivalent can be promoted to CNS. In practice. the senior most gets the job. An exception was Vice Admiral Bimal Verma who was CinC A&N command. Adm Karamvir Singh, though junior, was made CNS.

The problem is removing a Guarantee of proportional representation under the constitution has to replaced by amendment providing another guarantee for proportional representation the ratio of which has to be in the form of a constitutional amendment. Anything less than that will not satisfy the opposition. The key here is any constitutional amendment has to be ratified by a two third majority in both houses of Parliament unlike an ordinary bill which requires a simple majority. And there are anti women regressive parties like the samajwadi party that oppose any legislation under any circumstances

Very Nice initiative. Strong leadership creates real impact. Empowering 10,500 girls with self-defence is not just an initiative, it’s a movement towards a safer and confident future.

Delimitation exercise
What delimitation exercise was conducted under congress led UPA? The party that opposed women reservations for years when congress was in power suddenly cares about women. On one hand they are deleting voters calling them Bangladeshi and on the other side they are okay with using 2011 census.

The condition of public toilets in Delhi ,is atrocious.
Locked and broken doors, dry taps, cigarette butts and empty liquor bottles welcome the innocent public with horrid stench. Public conveniences causing inconvenience to the public. The females are the worst affected in view of large foot fall and migrant population.
This could be unarguably attributed to criminal neglect of civic services by the local body ( Municipal corporation of Delhi).
Reasons are not far to seek. Lack of accountability and supervision.
Why responsibility is not being fixed on the delinquent officials? What impression is being carried by the foreigners visiting the national capital, one wonders?
Will the government of NCT, Delhi order an inquiry into the lapses and bring the laidback MCD officials to book?
Delhi is not alone. The neglect of public assets in urban areas,is rampant across the country including States capitals. The local bodies have persistently failed in discharging their mandated functions.
To overcome this crisis, I have a suggestion for the consideration of the central government.
Could the Central and States public sector undertakings not take the initiative in maintaining public assets like public toilets, parks etc as a corporate social responsibility?
Let a beginning be made from Delhi and States capitals particularly those having vast tourism potential and large foot fall due to migrant population.

I think this feeling that there is no future in Congress party beyond Gandhi family is incorrect. Many times surveys don't reveal the actual historical facts.
Congress & the country flourished during Lal Bahadur Shastri & Narasimha Rao times. Congress has an all India brand image & reasonable leadership depth. This is just a marketing & branding fact.
If you ask the question after giving this historical fact - your answers could be different.
Just that its capable leaders in the recent past have chosen to separate rather than play sycophants. Yes it is true that the Gandhi family has also a strong brand image - but is it strong enough for them to float a new party on their own - I doubt it.
The current set of Congress leaders do not have the guts in them to say we can survive without Gandhi family.

DF in Keralam? A big no! It will be similar to 2011 neck to neck 72 68! Also Puducherry I doubt! Puducherry won't be a cake walk! DMK will retain the power, Assam too it's BJP but NDA majority! West Bengal after SIR and all I feel that Didi has to take INC support as Muslims may vote INC in Malda-Murshidabad stretch!

Disabled highlight and copy feature in your website
I don't understand why you have disabled highlight and copy feature in your website. Sometimes we need to update the location of some known officers in our personal data tracker, as they may be from my cadre or from other services that I know. no harm if we can highlight, right click and copy, instead of labourously typing the names out again.

The 2026 West Bengal Assembly election has reached a fever pitch, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown between the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Election Timeline
The Election Commission has scheduled the polls in two major phases:
· Phase 1: 23 April 2026 (152 constituencies)
· Phase 2: 29 April 2026 (142 constituencies)
· Result Day: 4 May 2026
The BJP’s Strategy and Key Players
The BJP, led in the state by Suvendu Adhikari, is pushing a "Double Engine Government" narrative, promising that alignment with the central government will accelerate development. A major focus of their campaign is North Bengal, where the party has promised to establish premier institutions like IITs, AIIMS, and IIMs.
Key battlegrounds include Bhabanipur, where the BJP has fielded Suvendu Adhikari directly against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Core Campaign Issues
1. Identity and Citizenship: The implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls are central flashpoints.
2. Law and Order: The BJP frequently cites incidents of domestic violence and safety concerns to challenge the TMC’s governance.
3. Anti-Incumbency: After 15 years of TMC rule, the BJP is attempting to tap into voter fatigue regarding state employment exams and local administration.
