Copyright over appellations -Indian

Do you think that the government should have absolute copyright over appellations "Indian" and "National" when it comes to using them for educational institutions?

Lostpatrol says: No, Indian School o fBusiness, in Hyderabad, among the top-notch schools, isn't governmenta institution. In fact, government should get out of education. It can set up and administer an autonomous Regulatory Authority throuh its appointees. No schools will remain in rural areas and backward classes will not be educated, you say? Government schools in the villages at primary level are root cause for our falling behind.


Virtualscorpio says: No, Government should stick to governing which it is meant to & get out of every other sector.


Ruggedboyz says: i think an institute earns its own glory or shame by the kinda of discipline it follows having said that it is extremely misleading for common people who may tricked by money making institutes and so i did want not the goverment but a government funded body that makes sure every year that only top notch institues have national or indian before their names


Tejbir says: NO government is by the people, for the people of the people and what is India - the people of India so who owns the appellations? The people themselves!


Lionking says: i think government is taking a good step by restricting the usage of the words "indian" and "national" ... as these two words, i think are national property ... some days back i had written an article protesting the usage of "India" in the name "Force India Racing Team" as in the below link : o3.indiatimes.com/lionking/archive/2008/01/13/4863375.aspx while i am not sure whether this decision to ristrict the usage of the words "India" and "National" is because of my blogpost above ( i guess i am trying to get over ambitious by taking the credit for this decision of the government!), i welcome this decision ...


GussaWaala says: Last time iI checked patriotism, nationalism, and India belonged to Indians and not to some IAS babu seeking a new way to collect bribes.


Niceguy251says: Use of word Indian or National is birthright of all of us but it is really perturbing to see this being misused. We could have a regulatory body who sets some preconditions for use of words for any product lest it is misleading or degrading for someone. We have Air Marshal Hawai Chappals while this is a very high rank in Air Force, Admiral Seats for western toilet while this is rank of Naval Chief. Tomorrow someone may come out with Prime Minister Langot or President Vest.
