@IndianGems_ Swach Bharat is one of the biggest scams of this country. Thousands of crores of money have been swindled under this campaign with no visible impact on ground
@RHirakud@revathitweets If it was your friends or family and someone made such a comment how would you feel? Will it be okay to laugh at their death? Certainly not, right? Such comments would reflect very bad character and values.
@ShamikaRavi As an employee of govt of India, are you allowed to use political/partisan language such as BJP states, opposition states etc? Simply list all the states in order of whatever metric you want to throw light on. Let the public & politicians put political labels or draw conclusions.
@hvgoenka You are rich and refined and largely shielded from day to day realities of interactions with the average Indian.
Culture is cool, people are nice, but civic sense is indeed quite poor. So much needs to change and improve.
Is police allowed to use (brutal) violence when there is apparently no violence from unarmed protestors?
If the protest is somehow illegal (in a democracy) then why not just handcuff them and arrest them? What's the need of brutally beating them up?
@SamSiff Why not read and understand the context of this case?
It is a judgement in favour of a man who had premarital relationship(s) and was (wrongly) discriminated against in official recruitment.
In 2005, when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited JNU, a section of students greeted him with black flags and slogans of protest. The university administration issued notices to students and considered disciplinary action.
In his speech, Singh invoked Voltaire:
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."
When the administration moved against the protesters, Singh reportedly intervened. Years later, then Vice-Chancellor B.B. Bhattacharya recalled the Prime Minister's message to him. "Please be lenient, Sir."
What stands out is not that a Prime Minister defended the right of students to protest against him. What stands out is that we now regard such conduct as exceptional when it should be the minimum standard in a constitutional democracy.
@VideosEarth@Saurabh_MLAgk He is an Indian politician, not an immigrant (or immigration applicant) to US. The issue of US immigration and concerns over dubious credentials as posted by OP is not at all related to Mr Kejriwal. Hope that helps. Please resist from posting misinformation in future.
@RanvirSingh009@sahbazmohd65@ocjain4 You also have a mother. How will you feel if someone talked about your mother using such words? That will be bad and wrong, wouldn't it? I hope you understand this and see that all women should be respected. It reflects your own manners and values.
