Can anyone be converted from one religion to the other within five minutes of heated exchange of words? This is well-nigh impossible, but it is what a couple Tanvi Seth and her husband Anas Siddiqui make us believe, that too, after 12 years of their marriage. The lady Tanvi Seth has alleged that an official of the Lucknow’s Regional Passport Office has humiliated her by asking humiliating questions about her Hindu name and wanted her husband to Hinduism. Anybody will say in the first blush that it is not only absurd but also smacks of the blackmailing by the lady and her husband.  Lo and behold! what is even more disturbing is that within 24 hours of her raising the communal hue and cry, the Passport Officer called the couple, offered them tea and handed over her passport with all humility and respect.

Former High Court Judge Abhay Mahadeo Thipsay has joined the Congress party within a year of his retirement. Had Justice Thipsay been a non-descript judge, the  eyebrows would not have been raised.

While granting bail to Gujrat police officers DG Vanjara ...

Babu Rajendra Prasad, after his retirement as the distinguished President of India for ten years, moved from the comforts of Delhi to Sadaqat Ashram in Patna. In his footsteps, the next President of India Dr S. Radhakrishnan also moved away from Delhi to live in Madras. The late Morarji Desai shifted to a two bedroom house in Mumbai, thanks to Sharad Pawar, the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who got that small house allotted in his name in the category of the freedom fighters as he had no other place to live anywhere in India. Gulzari Lal Nanda, a freedom fighter, two times Interim Prime Minister of India and the founder of the INTUC, died at the ripe age of hundred in Ahmedabad always lived a Spartan life. Contrast their ‘simple living and high thinking’, who made sterling contributions during the freedom struggle, to modern leaders like; Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Lalu Prasad Yadav. Before demitting their offices, they got allotted big bungalows in the posh areas. Now wh...
