     Is it not ridiculous that Ms Kanimozhi, otherwise a very sensible and well-educated politician is fighting for an alien language like English, which is not understood even by two per cent people of Tamilnadu? English was not known even by her father, the late Karunanidhi, who was adept in exploiting the sentiments of the people against Hindi. But love for English and allergy with Hindi defies all logic.  She insists that all meetings of the central government officials should be conducted in English. Recently she walked out of a meeting of a ministry showing her tantrums against an officer because he was speaking in Hindi, which was understood by everyone including her. It is a well-known fact that Ms Kanimozhi possesses reasonably good knowledge of Hindi. She is credited to have translated the Hindi speeches of some of the politicians in Tamil. Then why does she make brouhaha against Hindi from time to time?   It appears that her party DMK has gone completely bereft of any is

It is a well-known fact that once a man rebuked Lord Denning by calling him ‘an old, bald fool’. When he (Denning) came out of the court, he was surrounded by some newspersons who asked him whether he was contemplating to initiate contempt proceeding against that person. He replied in a cool and composed manner by telling the press persons that there was no question of hauling him for the contempt of court because ‘ old I am’, ‘bald-headed I am’ so, there is nothing wrong in it. As far as the ‘fool’ is concerned, it is his perception about me.’ The person who said so about the celebrated judge was no less than the renowned journalist Michael Foot, who later became the leader of opposition in the British Parliament. Lord Atkin, another great judge had in one of his judgments that ‘justice is not a cloistered virtue. She must be allowed to suffer the scrutiny and respectful, even though outspoken comments of ordinary men’. There are some people, who want that contempt of court shou

  Today we have seen an example of the real power of the media, which relentlessly campaigned for the handing over of the Sushant Singh Rajput’s case to the CBI to unravel the truth of his death. Hopefully, the CBI investigation will pave the way for the further and much-needed catharsis of the film industry. Earlier the media was so weak that it was always ready to play the second fiddle to the goondas of Bollywood as they could easily bump off anybody anytime at any place. Indian Penal Code (IPC) is very clear in this regard that FIR will be lodged where the cause of action has arisen and if has been lodged at any other place for certain reasons, it will be transferred to the police of the place where the main cause of action has arisen. The SSRs case was of the Mumbai police but when no FIR was lodged for more than a month, doubts started swelling up across the country. Fed up with the inaction and the dilly-dallying tactics of the Mumbai Police, the father SSR filed an FIR in Pa

  In the week just gone by, Chief Justice of India made two observations during hearings of the two unrelated cases. One of them deserves unqualified praise from all section of the society, which underscores the importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), he has said that the hearing of the Courts can be conducted in any language because   the technology for the translations from one language to the other is now available. It will, indubitably, break the hegemony of the English (which was once considered to be the language of barbarians). The emphasis on the use of English in India has led to the stunted growth of mental faculties of the people including that of the lawyering. A very minuscule number of advocates and judges have mastered English but for the majority, it is still ‘will-o- wisp’. However, this will need the Constitutional amendment by the Parliament of India. Justice Bobde’s second observation relates to the addressing of the court by the lawyers. He frowned on an advo

  As the age-old saying goes 'take the sting of deterrence from the law and the order will go haywire'. That is what has happened in Bengaluru on 11th of August, a day before the Janmashtami when an unruly and violent crowd of nearly two thousand persons destroyed the property worth crores of Rupees and three persons lost their lives. Criminals always think many steps ahead of the law enforcing agencies and therefore they will need to have modernized with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to effectively deal with them. In this context the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Aditya Nath must be thanked for his novelty to recover the damages from the criminals. If the criminals have the fear that they will have to pay through the nose for the damages they have done to the properties, in addition to facing criminal charges of rioting under the IPC, then they will think many times before taking the law into their hands. If there is no provision for recovery of damages, it can

The elite class and elitist schools in India are most rattled with new education policy, which lays emphasis on the medium of instruction of all subjects through mother tongue, local or national language up to 5th standard. English will only be taught as one of the subjects. Now the lobby of the perverts says that the standard of education will go down if the English do not remain the foundational language from the very inception of the education. There is no end to the imbecility of such persons. Their entire logic is often reduced to absurdity, what existentialist philosophers have termed ‘reductio ad absurdum’. All the great leaders of this country have had their primary education through mother tongues. Those who have gone to different fields and studied through mother language have far excelled in their chosen areas in comparison to parasites, who have studied through English medium right from the first standard. There is no doubt that English is the language of exploitation of th
