LET'S ADMIT THE TRUTH
If we keep denying truth with hype, how can we correct the wrongs? It is 
reported that India has 14 of the worst polluted cities in the world! In China, 
pollution is rapidly decreasing whilst our pristine white marble Taj Mahal is 
turning green/brown due increasing pollution, and people in Delhi are getting 
lung and allied diseases! The Prime Minister, BJP star campaigner together with 
Amit Shah is pronouncing on the Madhei river dispute to win votes! When States 
are involved in a dispute, the PM of India ( not only of BJP) is expected to 
stay strictly neutral? I just  witnessed an interview with a live BJP worker 
who their campaign claimed to have been martyred by the opposition! As far as 
the JNU violence is concerned, the evil that Jinnah did will live after him, 
any good buried with his ghost? Hate will percolate into history to be re 
written? Like in the Parliament, even in Universities, there is no room for 
civilised debate!The Supreme Court seems to be under relentless attack by the 
executive and also at war within itself. The decision to hand over heritage 
monuments has reportedly been taken unilaterally without consulting the stake 
holders, the States or ASI. The Supreme Court has once again ruled that 
politicians cannot skirt the Constitution basic doctrine of equality and also 
all  privileges, rights and benefits of holders of public office must be 
reasonable, rational and proportionate and those in public office must act 
bearing in mind that they are accountable to the citizen whom they serve!Once 
they demit office, they cannot stay in government bungalows.This clearly means 
the colonial vestiges of VIP status is redundant and must be abolished if 
citizens are to have any self tespect! It looks like CSR will have to mean 
Citizen Social Responsibility, if democracy, rule of law and ethics are to 
survive?
