The TamilNadu government’s policy in selecting top scorers in the Plus two examinations is arbitrary and biased. It is bigotry to select only those students who took Tamil as their first language in the exams.
Year after year the "State First" students on record have scored less than the "actual" top scorers. The psychological impact on students who did not choose Tamil as their first language can not be quantified. Why provide other languages as part of the examinations when students who took them are not be eligible to be a rank holder? And the government’s gesture in providing monitory assistance to the first three rank holders who took Tamil as their first language is a discrimination based on language which negates “Right to equality” of our constitution.

God Men, Good Men or Con Men
I don't want to go to an extent to discuss if at all god exists. But if God truly exists these people should have become extinct. If God does not exist, these people will not be judged for their actions(without fear of god).
As long as people pour their belief more in "God (Wo)Men" than in God, there is no future for the faith & hope on religion.

Nuclear Deal Again
What is outrageous is the fact a quasi-threatening letter could be sent to the Indian Prime minister by a bunch of US Congressmen, warning India to conduct its foreign relations on par with US ideologies.
What is damning is the silence by the PMO on this issue! I am sure by now the US ambassador is preparing a detailed clarification on this letter, which could be out in the weeks to come. The US ambassador is famous for these so called clarification press conferences, which he once made on our republic day eve.
What every Indian citizen will agree is that another country has no business in framing our foreign policy.
But, what is more damaging is the so called "under-ground" operations of the Indian Embassy in the US to procure sensitive-technology for Indian ballistic missile program which resulted in the indictment of two persons, an Indian citizen and another a Singaporean-Indian.
This is no different than the A.Q. Khan scandal where it was mentioned that he procured the sensitive technology from another country or as India put it as "Stealing". Does it mean we have?
What needs to be more clear is that India like any other country needs to put it's interest first before anything else! Otherwise India will continue to export mangoes to US in exchange for Harley Davidson motor bikes.

Moral Policing
India is becoming a country full of people who want to poke their nose in what someone else does in their day to day life. We want to judge people on what they do and what they don't do.
Freedom of speech is gagged upon by the lower judiciary where some "Yuke Yuke"s file frivolous law suits when Kushboo talks about pre-marital sex or when suhasini supports kushboo or when Richard Gere kisses Shilpa.
These lawsuits are a national shame. I don't blame the litigants and everyone knows that they are filed only to intimidate the opponent or to gain fame.
A Judge who decides to entertain such law suits goes against the spirit of democracy. A citizen's freedom is in their hands and they have the potential to take away such a precious right what makes it very dangerous. The Indian Judiciary high command should wake up and fire those magistrates who "did not apply their mind" while deciding to accept the lawsuits that gags upon freedom of speech.
May be there should be a book titled "Indian Constitution for Dummies" and should be given to all the Judges in the Indian Judiciary.
On a personal note, it is everyone's right to say the first thing that comes from their mouth. Everyone has the right to criticize what is said and I have the right to say whatever I want to say but no body has the right to suppress it.
