I see this as a desperate move to stay relevant in national politics following Monster Modi's rise on the national scene, pertinent to mention that it was the same maneuver that gave a major impetus to Sushma Swaraj's political career back in 2004. Also in recent context, many Indians were seen crying on the racial slur against the anointment of an Indian American as Miss America, and yet the same racial bias goes on unabated in the upper echelons of Indian polity, what else can be expected from the society at large.

Hypocrisy anyone ?

:lol:

 

That post was so poor even for you.

Sonia gandhi

Modi

Swaraj

Miss America

Racism

 

Absolutely, the half-serious twitter/fb racism against a beauty pageant winner is same as opposing a nonnative staking her claim on country's PMship.

 

Please continue putting 5 different things and together and try to make sense out of it. :lol:

India's development of ICBMs likely to fuel arms race with China

 

NEW DELHI: India's development of ICBMs is likely to see China deploy its own MIRV missiles which can carry multiple warheads, leading to an intense arms race in the region, says a new report on global nuclear weapons by renowned US experts.

The report says that the decision by China and India to equip their ballistic missiles with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) will influence the global nuclear stockpile trends. Described by Indian scientists as an ICBM, Agni V is not likely to carry multiple manoeuvrable warheads or MIRVS but its successors, including Agni VI, are likely to have the technology.

"Indian officials have already said that a new ICBM their country is developing will be capable of carrying multiple warheads. This development, combined with increased US missile defense capabilities in the Pacific region, could motivate China to deploy MIRV-capable missiles as well," says the report titled Global Nuclear Weapons Inventories, 1945-2013. The report is authored by Federation of American Scientists' Hans Kristensen and Robert Norris.

:lol: Firstly, not my fault that you are intellectually inept on the deeper psychological & sociological context between both.

Secondly :puspa:

Yea. The logic in those lines is comprehensible only to the whiz kids like you.

Psychological & sociological....May be also constitutional? :lol:

Just came back from local gas agency, AADHAR nightmare and chaos. One of the old age poor person told me that he has given aadhar copies 4 times so far but it's still not linked and he hasn't got the subsidy. There were at least 50 people sweating to get AADHAR linked.

Sad day for india , now I guess stuff like corruption / dishonesty has become so commonplace , its become part and parcel of everyday life .... especially when the govt thinks convicted guys can stay elected too :(

 

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Convicted-MPs-MLAs-to-stay-put-despite-SC-order/articleshow/23014961.cms

 

The Union Cabinet on Tuesday cleared an ordinance to neutralize Supreme Court's order mandating instant disqualification of MPs and members of state legislatures convicted for offences carrying sentence of two years or more, in a move which instantly came to be seen as designed to protect RJD chief Lalu Prasad.

The ordinance, which is likely to be sent shortly to President Pranab Mukherjee for promulgation, comes a week before a trial court in Jharkhand is expected to deliver its verdict onLalu's complicity in the fodder scam. The RJD boss had unsuccessfully petitioned the apex court complaining about the alleged bias of the trial court and seeking transfer of the case to another judge.

"It is a thanksgiving gesture to Lalu ji," a minister told TOI after Cabinet cleared the proposed ordinance in a jiffy.

Law minister Kapil Sibal said this will only allow lawmakers to attend proceedings of the House and is very much in line with apex court judgments. "He will lose membership of the House if his appeal is rejected," Sibal added.

They wanted even a conviction by a district court as enough reason to debar from elections, right ? You know how easily can the lower courts be manipulated by incumbent government.

 

Idea is neat, but needs at lest high court's ruling of any conviction.

^^ you're being naive if you think that was the reason why the ordinance was passed .... so far, no elected representative has been convicted by a high court, the moment that happens, don't be surprised if similar ordinance is passed yet again !

yeah well.. i guess everyone knows WHY the ordinance was passed. But the argument of incumbent government at state or centre (if they have same party at state) arm twisting district courts is not without merit.

We've been having an incumbent government for decades now. Why not let something good come out of it ? We aren't living in an ideal now, are we ?

but way to counter BS is not to pile on another BS, now is it ?

 

and look at it this way, if you (hypothetically- i am not putting words) want the incumbent govt of which so ever place to go away, then use of this (pre ordinance) law would/could have actually enabled said govt to mess around with candidates from other parties right before election.

 

It works both ways. But anyhow, at the end of the day no party is going to support it.
