NATIONAL ANTHEM

Does Republic Day hold any special significance in our lives any longer? Why?

We have already forgotten National Anthem. We will forget it completely if 15th August and 26th January functions are also stopped. New generation will not be able to watch usual functions taking place on these days and realize the value of these two days. At least on these days, Indians get an opportunity to know and understand about freedom and how India got through struggle and how or armed forces have been safeguarding our freedom..

A few decades ago National anthem was stopped in Cinema halls and many other places on the plea that cinema goers do not give respect to National Anthem. Bitter truth is that 90% of cinema goers used to remain standing in respect of National anthem. Even a child going to watch movie could get an opportunity to ask his parent about national anthem and its background and could have aroused love for the country. Unfortunately those days are gone. There are many who do not respect our country; they cannot respect national anthem and national days of celebration. New generation guys do not know much about patriotism, they do not talk about country but they talk about their family, their caste, their religion, their muhallah etc.

Gradually people are forgetting significance of freedom India got from British. This is why some state is talking in different style. Raj Thakre and Bal Thakre desires that permit (like visa) should be obtained by outsiders before entering Maharashtra. I therefore feel that just like Mantra of various religions this valuable National anthem must be made mandatory for every school and colleges, offices and organization to cite daily as a prayer to inject the vitamin of patriotism in minds of all citizen and give strength to unity and integrity of the country.

We need uregent judicial reforms

Would prosecuting and punishing persons for perjury (false evidence) improve our legal system? Many similar questions pertaining to Indian courts arise in the minds of aggrieved person in the country, but he finds no solution other than bearing with injustice.


Judicial reformation has not taken place during last six decades despite several promises made by prominent leaders. At least during last ten fifteen years many stalwarts like Mr. Mr. Advani, Arun Jaitley of BJP, Manmohan Singh, Mr. Bhardwaj law Minister, Mr. Singhwi of Congress Party or Mr. Somnath Chatterjee of CPM or Lalu Yadav of RJD and even retired judges and Chief Justice of India have expressed the need of judicial reform in the country but all failed to make it a reality.

Judicial reforms include many ideas like Prosecuting and punishing persons for perjury or providing protection to witness exposing the truth, eliminating the chance of backtracking by a witness from written or oral evidences given by him in any court, punishing false complainers, expediting court proceedings to ensure time bound delivery of justice , punishing judges who give adjournment after adjournment to give comfort to one party or the other after taking bribe, making advocates accountable and punishable and so on ...

If above mentioned ideas and many other similar contemplated amendments are made and executed honestly; it will be complete change the picture in Indian courts and police stations. But unfortunately no concrete steps have so far been taken. Only task force committees are formed, reports are submitted, debates take place and finally the issue of judicial reformation and promise of shortening delay in justice are kept in abeyance.

This is why crime graph of India is increasing day by day, year after year. This is also a bitter truth and open secret that police do not register FIR in Thana only to show false and fabricated improvement in crime situation of an area. This is the primary reason that Bhopal Gas case , Bofors case, Telgi stamp scam, Arushi Murrder case, Ruchika suicide case ,Babri demolition or Godhra Hatyaknad case or 1984 sick riot cases , Lalu’s chara Ghotala case and many more similar but important cases have been pending in Indian courts for two decades and more.

If by any legal amendments our country is able to create fear in the minds of wrong doers I think there will be complete turnaround in law and order position of the country and there will be definite reduction in the acts of Naxal oriented extremism or foreign based terrorism. It is pity that in our country criminal are not afraid of legal system; it is only innocents who avoid going in courts or police stations to lodge their grievances in fear of repercussions.

Are CMD of Banks blind towards reality of branches?

• Why officers and employees are not transferred out from the Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai etc. and on the contrary employees of states like Orrisa, Bihar, and Jharkhand are frequently transferred out of their states even violating transfer policies?

• Why some officers are always given rural posting whereas some other officers are even promoted without rural posting violating government guidelines in this regard?

• Why some officers are allowed to work in their Metro towns for decades whereas officers of other small towns and villages are to change their place of working every year or alternate year without any incentive or compensation?

• Is there no punishment for those executives who indulge in corrupt practices and resort to whimsical transfers to keep away all employees who may prove hurdle in their money making process?

• Why RBI remains silent spectator of ill-motivated CEOs of banks and allows the malady in banks to accumulate?

• It is worthwhile to mention here that unhappy lot of employees cannot think for and make efforts to keep bank healthy?

• Is human resource not capital in real sense in Banking Industry and for some VIP CEOs of Bank?
