Do you think that assassination of Benazir Bhutto is the most serious setback for democracy in Pakistan?Would democracy survive in Pakistan?
Lp53 says: On the contrary, there is a silver lining to the darkest clouds. The population may now finally be fed up with the gore brought upon them by the soldier-mullah-jehadi trinity.
Virtualscorpio says:I suppose it is presently a big setback. The country wud be initially pushed into anachry, militance etc. How soon can the masses rise up is 2 be seen, but seems remote. Any killing is to be abhored & shunned :((
Busybee says: I agree with LP. It will rise like a phoenix... once the people get fed up of killed at the whims and fancies of terrorists.
Tejbir says: it is a setback atleast for the system of democracy and it was all that one could expect if, as someone wrote in an article in Business Line "imposition of democracy is frought with such incidents"
Abx says:democracy is a dream for pakistan. it won't be there till miondset of the people there changes.
Wise donkee says: its a setback but it doesnt mean the situation is utterly hopeless.
Niceguy251 says: Her being killed is surely a setback as it was expected that she would be the next PM with US backing. She would have tried to set things right. However such sad happenings do not leave permanant gap. Hopefully people of Pakistan will rise to the occassion and see that democracy is finally restored. Let us all pray for that. it is definitely needed at this hour.

Supreme Court and Tenants
The Supreme Court has put up a "good behaviour" signal for tenants, making it clear that those who misbehave with the owner of the premises are liable for eviction. Do you think that this law will put the tenants in a more difficult situation ?
Niceguy251 says: As it is one finds it hard to get a house on rent with "hazar nakhrays" of landlords asking for company lease or short period lease etc, this will definitely used for harrassment by some of the landlords who just wish to get higher rentals.
LP53 says: The 'signal' is directed at the legislators to remind them their task. Juidiciary , howsoever reformist orientated, is not the arbiter of social issues.
Ruggedboyz says:now i dont want to look at this issue in a cynical way but instead; i did want to think why did supreme court do this and what was going through their, mind when they thought of doing it offcourse supreme court didnt want to give tenants a tough time the intention was for giving the owner of a property the powet to retain their space without many hassles also this did keep the vandalism of tenants at bay and thus make more people rent houses for they will be not be the same anxious souls before they rent their place as they were before
Virtualscorpio says:Most laws r made to help people. In India, most laws are misused & the common man is harrased. Somebody getting a better rent 4 his premises, midway during a tenure will just evict the tenent, citing bad behaviour...Phir ladtey raho.. :((
Lionking says:it is good that the supreme court has set some guidelines for tenents in regard their behaviour, when they take a house on rent. That is good. but, there should also be some guidelines framed against those owners who rent their houses and profit by taking rent, so that these owners dont harress the tenents too... there should be a two way set guidelines ... and not just guidelines targetted at one party.
Tejbir says: this i guess will give rise to slew of frivolous cases on basis of misbehavior from land lords i hope we get to see some objective law formation in this matter

L. K. Advani as a Prime minister candidate
BJP has announced the the name of L. K. Advani as a party's prime minister candidate.Do you think that this decision will benefit BJP?
LP says:LK advani must mellow if he should lead BJP to power.
Lionking says: BJP has no other option but to choose Advani as the PM candidate ... Vajpayee has to slip into political oblivion as age is the factor against him. But, BJP also has to also contend with Narendra Modi phenomenon ... if modi wins the gujarat election, then as rightly pointed by the PM MMS Modi could get a hold of the National BJP itself !!!! Hence the urgent announcement of the BJP to make Advani as the PM candidate. but, have to confess ... Advaniji is a legend in his own right ... a thorough politican tactician and i think this is the right choice of the BJP ... although in a somewhat desperate condition. all the problems of the BJP is because it is not in power ... once it comes to power one can see that BJP again become a healthy party ... which i hope it will become.
Ruggedboyz says: it is only deplorable to see LK advani as the PM candidate for the nation where the majority is filled with young blood and their is so much talk and need for young blood to be and rule in politics the step is diffo a step in the backward directions lets hope the largest party of the nation gains a perspective and thinks better before taking a major decision like this that shall govern the life of the billions in this neck of the woods
Tejbir says:IMHO the whole of India will benefit if Advani becomes the PM atleast he has his mouth and mind well connected unlike current puppet!
Niceguy251 says:In the present context BJP had no choice but to make this annoucement. Mr Advani is well versed in the art of politics and is a good orator also. Only thing which he has to remember is that he has to lead the country and not a particular group or segment. He should pick team with young blood if he does come to power as PM.
Virtualscorpio says: Shri Vajpayee & Shri Advani are head and shoulders above any politician.
Unfortunately, Vajpayee is now old & Advani is the best bet to lead the country to a better, less corrupt tomorrow. All he needs is a majority. Only Congress politician I had regard for was Shri PV Narsimha Rao, Unfortunately, Shri Manmohan Singh has become a stooge in the hands of you know who...

BPO and Female Cab Driver
To make women working in BPOs feel safe, there is a plan to employ female cab drivers.Do you think that this experiment will work?
Lostpatrol53 says: what about the safety of women cabbies?
Virtualscorpio says: I dont think this is a practical. Its like throwing out the baby with the water. no solution.This cud lead to having 2 victims instead of only 1.
Naveen AKA Guy_On_Black_YBX says: Was bout say the same as LP ji. BTW how many of these drivers would willing to drive at night. I mean number of women drivers vs number of Men
Lionking says: i heard that these women cab drivers are given courses of self defence like karate, etc. but, as naveen mentioned ... these women cab drivers should be tried in the day shifts first ... and after seeing their results ... they can be tried in around the clock. in hyd, we have women conductors in the state transport busses ... so i dont see why there would be any problem for women in daylight. but, sure this is going to be quite a risky proposition both for the cab service operators and the women cab drivers themselves. the best part in the service is that the drivers are given their own walky talky so that they can remain in touch with the control room ... and possible with the police.
Niceguy251says: There is no harm in trying this but this is purely a knee jerk reaction. There are definitely more adequate ways to ensure safety of women employees with male drivers too if one really wants to do so. But even simple safeguards are overlooked due to cutting corners for saving expences.

Indian laws and rapidly changing Society
Almost 3 Crore Cases Pending in Indian Courts.Do you think that Indian laws have failed to keep pace with change ?
Ruggedboyz said...
the fact that their are 3 crore cases pending is not just a mirror that reflects that the judicial system in india hasnt delivered it also is a loss in faith of those thousands who thought that indian judicial system could get justice to them it also signifies the powerful can procastinate things and live a happy life and die their natural deaths but the judicail case still is on in the court sorry state of affair clearly here
Virtualscorpio said...
There can be no denying the fact that Indian laws have failed 2 keep pace wid the changing times. I wud go & add that a lot of things in India have failed 2 keep pace wid the changing times. Yes, we have taken giant strides in IT sector etc, yet basic things wid vast majority of Indians remain primitive.

A key descriptor of a democracy is euql rights and freedom. Just how does a nation provide that without offering justice to its citizen? Think about it...... India need a judicial revolution, not just a reform.
Lionking said...
it indeed sad to note that 3 crores cases are pending in Indian Courts. This can be best seen in the recent advertisement of Plywood, wherein the case of some young people drags on till they become old, and still after that the case is adjourned. the first thing is the lawyers reluctance to get a final verdict on the case, fearing that their Case money would be deprived off them if the case is closed earlier. second, the ignorance of the common people who have not enough knowledge of the legal procedures, and tend to wholly depend on the lawyers, and find that their verdict is being postponed because of the first reason mentioned above. third, not enough Law Staff to deal with the ever increasing cases, and the government giving a blind eye on the matter. fourth, political motives which would like to have the cases drag on instead of complete closure of the cases. fifth, the complexity of the indian laws make it much time consuming process, hence the delay. all the reasons mentioned above do contribute to the adding up of the cases.

Too verbose lawyers, and too many laws, too little jurisprudence....that is my country
Busybee said...
Ofcourse !! no scope fr debate there at all.
Niceguy251 said...
This surely looks very sad state of affairs. What we need is proper analysis. Out of these 3 crores pending cases how many are at which level of courts, how many fall under petty cases category and last but not the least how many have had NO progress for the last six months or more due to non attendance of either party by virtue of taking shelter behind medical or legal excuse. Once this study is done it may be that most of these are either trival cases or manipulated for dates. That is where law needs to change with times to keep pace.
