Sanjay Dutt Pleads For Leniency

This is in response to this article from Times Of India.

What crap is Sanjay Dutt talking about?? I mean, the guy must be having crores of rupees in his accounts and he's saying that he's the sole breadwinner for his family??? If his 'halaat' is like this then there is surely no hope in hell for the rest of us poor middle class wretches.

The court should think how many 'sole breadwinners' of how many families have perished in the blasts due to the callousness of wimps like him. The court should not be lenient at all and subject him to the full penalty of the law. I am sure if this same charge had been levelled on some poor muslim (alleged minority), the case would have dragged on and the guy would have got some 15 years in jail.

But just because of his father's and sister's political connections and probably his own underworld connections, he manages to get off with some measly sentence. And to top it all an even more measly excuse 'I am the sole bread-winner for my family'!!!

Munna bhai, you suck big time.

Statue Desecration Sparks Protests

This is regarding this article on Times Of India.

A statue of ambedkar got desecrated and those god-forsaken Dalits have taken to the streets. Whats worse is that it happened in UP and violence gets sparked off in Maharashtra. I think the people of Maharashtra have a very selfish and stupid mentality (I'd like to use some really crude words but am refraining from doing so).

I think all these Dalits should be thrown out of the country. Deport them to Bangladesh or Pakistan and ask them to take ALL of ambedkar's statues with them. That way, no one will desecrate their beloved leader (who almost gave India to these damn Dalits). Along with them, all those politicians who indulge in vote-bank politics to get their dalit votes should also be thrown out.

There has always been this obsession with statues. It think it emanates from basic Hindu religion and culture which propagates idol worship. Shiv sena goons turn violent when meenatai's statue is desecrated, dalits turn violent when ambedkar's statue is desecrated. And the Parsi community, whose entire temple wall was going to get demolished didn't so much as shout a slogan. These foolish ignoramuses should learn something from the Parsi community.

The irony of this whole fiasco is that followers of a dalit who authored the constitution that prohibits caste-based discrimination, are demanding reservations and quotas and special treatment because of their 'low caste'.

Social Networking Sites Under Scanner

This is in response to this article on Times of India.

The internet allows for free speech. Who has given the police or anyone for that matter the right to curb or restrict this freedom in any way? I sure as hell didn't. If people hate shivaji, then so be it. If people idolize dons, let them. As long as they haven't committed a crime, there's no reason to ban/restrict such freedoms.

And on a tangential note, what the hell has shivaji done to alter the scene of modern aviation in India??? How many airports in India are named after JRD Tata, the man who founded commercial aviation and changed the face of India forever? I believe that if an airport or station is named after any person, the person should be somewhat related to that industry with significant contribution to that field.
