The Union Urban Development Minister, Venkaiah Naidu, has reportedly suggested that Delhi should be renamed Indraprastha or Hastinapur.
To my mind it is an excellent suggestion. But I would go further.
I suggest that unemployment should be renamed as full employment, malnourished should be renamed as well fed, sick should be renamed as healthy, illiterate should be renamed as highly educated, farmers' suicides should be renamed as farmers' festivals, and poor should be renamed as rich.
That will solve all our country's problems.

ReplyDeleteSir, I paste below the interactions on my fb page vis a vis this post of yours. perhaps you would be able to reply to the gentleman Salim Purushothaman who has reservations about what he says was your passive attitude while on the bench.

Salim Purushothaman This Ever Young justice did not turn a leaf related to Muslim personal law while he was a SC judge . His rhetorics against personal law started when he later became chair of Press council. Many cities were renamed earlier, and as PCI chair he did not utter a comment. Later , out of the PCI he is whispering; Quite intriguing....

I m not quite sure about your position as I do not have access or am I aware about the Justices conduct on the bench.
What I would like to ask here us should we hold a judge of intriguing double standards if he or she after leaving the robe is more vocal on laws on rape and violence against woman,for instance?

Salim Purushothaman while donning the robe , they do have advisory responsibities over legislature. Many do exercise also. Many remain silent when their own opinion goes at loggerheads with the interest of the executive. So an obligatory element is latent in such silences. That I feel is not in tune with a democratic upward looking country

Anilkumar Kesava Kurup Havent we seen the furore created by the executive alleging the courts interfering in their matters and stretching themselves? Judicial activism they say. In any case I cannot speak for the Justice .If you have authoritative material to say the Justice acquiesced or was less severe in the matters you mentioned while he was on the bench well you can argue. In any case the best person is he to reply.

To be fair to Mr Naidu he never seriously suggested this(as I was watching the proceedings of parliement at that time.He also said that I am not actually suggesting the change of name or otherwise you(members) will raise that itself as controversy
ReplyDeleteHis suggestion is really a great one.Delhi should be renamed Indraprastha or Hastinapur. I prefer Indraprastha as a better one. If any one need the article about any kind of theme please choose the thesis writing service provider for better advice.
