The Alt-Eye

  Farewell   The longest and The most romantic ever Farewell is when The Day seeks it of the Night in the dusk, and The Night seeks it of the Day in the dawn Both look askance at each other And settle all puerile dissensions For they don’t meet each other the whole day And then they stay in a fret for a while For they can’t be together for longer Then they traipse from each other in sufferance Acquiescing the destiny, calmly But promising at least not to miss Meeting each other every day P 21/05/22  

  Modi Ji ke raj mei kya pathe likhe, kya unpath?   What makes an educated person distinct from an uneducated? School certificates and academic degrees? Yes, partially so.  Then who is uneducated? The one who can’t read and write? Yes, partially so.  Answering this question in limited words is a bit difficult task in that sense. However, the fact is that while a degree holder doesn’t necessarily embody in spirit what education is, an unlettered person needn’t be assumed to be lacking in it fully too. That is, the mere ability to read and write comes from training and is connected to the process of cognition only partially. The incident here goes on to explain this further. As part of her duty, my wife went to a village for a/an il/literacy survey. This was in one of those backward villages of Muzaffar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. As she reached the front yard of a seemingly well-to-do traditional Hindu house and finding no one in there calle...

  When people call the Supreme Court the most supreme joke of the country If what Uddhav Thackeray allegedly did in Arnab Goswamy case was part of a ‘political gameplan,’ the latter using his influence in the previous administration to sweep a serious crime under the carpet was part of a ‘pollical gameplan’ as well.  Abetment to suicide u/s 306 IPC is a non-compoundable crime that attracts  imprisonment for a term that may extend to 10 years, and in some cases with a fine. Courts will decide whether Arnab Goswamy can be indicted in law for abetment to suicide or not. However, similar cases were earlier decided by high courts and the Supreme Court differently. In general, such cases will see the definition of a cause of action undergoing as many interpretations as possible, for the simple reason that an agreement on what is proper evidence of compelling circumstances that lead to the culmination of a crime can have endless explanations.   The evidence of a sui...

  Inevitable versus invited   Freedom at Midnight is an old book. This video shared herein below is relatively an old video, too, which was shot a couple of months before the start of the lockdown. Is there any similarity between them? The book says that being unable to control the chaos partition left India in, the then leadership wanted Britain to take the control of the country back, in essence, invalidating the just gained independence the country.   Our leaders at that time thought they didn’t possess the requisite administrative acumen to bring the terrible situation that ensued partition, under control.  The book argues credibly that the art of administration always differed from taking out processions, demanding independence, raising quit-India slogan etc. That, also, the oratorial mastery or nationalistic fervour is no substitution for the management acumen either. In their place, skills to govern comes of a substantial understanding of the ...
