Justice J S. Verma Panel's UNJUST Recommendations on Delhi Gang Rape Case

-
Justice J S. Verma panel submitted its recommendations on amending the Indian criminal penal code for tackling issues like the recent Delhi gang rape case. Their 644 page report is available here. After reading the major recommendations, I was not surprised, that they didn't give any importance to the issue of providing 'justice' to the family of Delhi gang rape victim girl. Below I present my analysis of these recommendations. In short, expecting justice from the most unjust institution in the world, the state, is sure to result in disappointment for the masses of this country.

Many deluded people want him to be the next prime minister of India and rescue t

Narendra Modi's Development Model

-
Narendra Modi, the lead prime ministerial candidate of BJP party, is having an eight point development model, which he is proposing to implement if he comes to power in 2014. In this succinct write-up I want to analyze this Modi model. Although for those who have a thinking head on their shoulders this model presents nothing new, we, in any case, need to analyze it because Modi is likely to be the next PM of India.

Here is the model: Education & Job Opportunities for Youth: IITs, IIMs and AIIMS in all states Children & Women’s Empowerment: Beti Bachao Programme Urban Develeopment / Infrastructure: 100 smart Cities, Twin City Concept, Satellite Cities, Interlinking rivers, Golden Quadilateral of bullet trains Inflation/Price Control: Price Stabilisation Fund, Special courts for black marketeers Agriculture Reform: Dat
