On Indian Judiciary – a Twitter thread by @MumbaichaDon

“Kangaroo Courts by Media Affecting Health of Democracy & Judiciary, Taking it Backwards” Says CJI Ramana.

Really MiLords? Media taking Judiciary Backwards?
Pls don’t make me laugh.

YOUR JUDICIARY IS COMPROMISED BY YOUR OWN JUDGES. No-one Else took it backwards.

Glory of Judiciary was lost when SC Judge who ruled against Indira Gandhi was DENIED to become CJI & was Superceded by a Puppet who ruled in HER favour. What did other judges do? Protest? No. They turned blind eye to this Violation of Justice to keep enjoying their Perks.

Glory of Bharat’s Judiciary was lost when SC opened gates at Midnight to hear pleas to Stop Capital Punishment to a Terrorist Yakub Memon.

It was lost on numerous occasions when Corrupt Politicians were granted More Bails than Number of Days in Jails.

It was lost when SC didn’t allow Banks’ request to Confiscate Passport of Vijay Mallya and later questioned CBI “How did they Flee Country”.

It was lost when SC Cancelled MANDATORY Declaration of Assets by SC & HC Judges to make it VOLUNTARY in 2009.

Glory was lost when SC Collegium DECLINED Judicial Reforms suggested by Modi Govt to bring Transparency in SC & HC Judges Appointments. It would have ENDED SC Collegium’s Hegemony.

Why Opposition? Fear of losing chance to FIX OWN People in ECOSYSTEM?Or Financial?Or Both?

Glory lost numerous times when Bigwigs were given Urgent Hearings & Ordinary people तारीख पे तारीख!

It was lost when Urban Naxals with GRAVE CHARGES like “Waging War against Country”,were given Anticipatory Bails for Yrs on Humanitarian Grounds.Any SUCH Reprieve to Others?

Glory was lost when Politicians & BLOODYwood Stars like Sanjay Dutt were given Parole & Furlough to attend Family Weddings or Medical Treatment of Spouse(when spouse was PARTYING Previous Night)..but Ordinary Convicts Not Allowed to attend Funerals/last rites of parents .

Glory was lost when 4 Senior Most SC MiLords staged an OPEN REVOLT against CJI Deepak Misra to get High Profile + Lucrative & Politically Sensitive cases where THEY could set Political Narratives to suit their Leftist BOSSES.
Ref: Chelameswar + D Raja.

MiLords…Disgrace is brought to Judiciary by your Own Corrupt & Conveniently Suitable Deeds. No? Then Justify NOT Giving bail to 21 yr old Student Nikhil Bhamre BEFORE EXAM, but Justice Chandrachud going out of way to send Hate Monger Zubair home SAME DAY of granting bail.

How can Media take Democracy & Judiciary Backwards when Judiciary has big weapon in it’s hand..A JOKE called “Contempt of Court”!!
What is Contempt?
I’m insulted by you cause it’s decided by me. You can’t question me because I have decided that you can’t question me. Wah!!

No MiLords…. No-one brought Disgrace to Judiciary EXCEPT by You. No-one took Judiciary Backwards EXCEPT by You.

It’s just that People have started Asking Questions & Social Media has Empowered them.

And THIS is what You can’t digest, MiLords.

Respected CJI Ramana, you gave too much Gyan yesterday.
But Pls Know…
When you point 1 Finger at someone…3 Fingers are pointed AT You BY You only.

Judiciary is LUCKY that Modi Ji as believes Firmly in Democracy.
I wish he shows MiLords Some Day “WHAT’S STATE POWER”.

Also, please note :

Declaration of Assets by SC & HC Judges is MANDATORY in 60% of Major 161 Countries in World.

Bharat’s Judiciary is among REMAINING 40% who CHANGED it to VOLUNTARY from Compulsory in 2009.

And…”MiLords” FORCE us to listen to Their “MORAL GYAN” everyday in & off Court.

IRONY!!

State of the World and US’s Culpability

Biden’s single biggest sin has been to bless the Ukraine war. He could have simply told Ukraine to abide by its promise of remaining neutral and forget about having US missiles stationed there, pointing at Moscow.

The whole world is in a state of turmoil and countless billions have been pushed into hardship due to inflation, due to this one issue.

Alternatively, he could have offered the Russians that he would station US missiles in Ukraine, and in return, welcomes Russian missiles to station in Cuba.

Tragically laughable proposition.

Liberal Press – Don’ts and Do’s – from Tara Henley

Here is a nice list of Don’ts and Do’s for the left liberal press – from a blog post by Tara Henley.

She nicely lays out the topics which are off-limits for the intellectual class – in a self-censorship kind of way. And also points out the kind of stories favoured by them.

Here goes. First the Don’ts :

Here’s a good place to start: Ask yourself how many liberal media pieces you’ve seen over the past two years that, say, interrogate COVID restrictions critically (especially early on, with school closures, lockdowns, and mask mandates). Or evaluate Black Lives Matter as a political movement, assessing its strengths and weaknesses. Or offer opposing viewpoints on transgender athletes in women’s sports; or mass immigration; or diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophies, trainings, or policies. Or acknowledge the excesses of #MeToo, or prejudice against the white working class. Or present critiques of identity politics. Or explore downsides of puberty blockers and gender transition surgery for teens; or delve into the growing censoriousness on social media and in education, Hollywood, the arts, and NGOs. Or probe inner city gun violence. Or reflect the positive sides of masculinity. Or talk about God. Or reference anything that’s currently deemed a conspiracy theory in non-derogatory terms (see: the lab leak theory). Or express genuine curiosity on the reasons behind the rise of independent media, whether that’s Joe Rogan or Substack.

This, I would argue, is the no-fly list. These are the tripwires.

I’ll admit that, months after leaving legacy media, I still feel an instinctive trepidation even running down this list — that’s how ingrained this is.

Now the Do’s :

Meanwhile, here are the stories that tend to play well in story meetings: The first “X” to do “Y” (the more local the better); celebratory ethnic heritage stories; local examples of racism; refugee stories; police brutality stories; investigations into misinformation or disinformation; calls for more robust online content moderation; the changing of the names of institutions; representation of diverse identities in literature, film, dance, music, and art; interesting identity takes on news developments, or holidays, or activities. Immigrant stories. Female empowerment stories. Stories warning about populism. Stories warning about conspiracy theorists, or other bad actors online. Stories warning about free speech absolutists. Stories about people getting exposed for saying objectionable things. How “X” initiative falls short of addressing “Y” social problem. Experts warning about the threat of a new COVID wave and why we need tougher restrictions.

Modi is anti-Minority?

A Ranganathan Minority Scholarships

Are above figures correct? If so, truly extraordinary. Though I believe the govt. should give out favours only on the base of economic status, not on the basis of religion or other markers (we are already stuck with caste as a marker). By giving out favours on the basis of economic status, automatically the communities which have more economically deprived people, will benefit more.

But the issue is, does the Modi govt. base its decisions on sound policy, or on its penchant for plaudits from the liberal intellectual space? A futile task, if any.

On Kejriwal’s claims of favouring Kashmiri pandit teachers

This is brutal. Anand Ranganathan really gives it to Arvind Kejriwal over his pinocchio-level false claim of having helped the Kashmiri refugee teachers in Delhi.

The matter of Kashmiri Files film was unnecessarily raked up by Arvind Kejriwal. He need not have made insensitive comments on it. He could have just told about the demand for tax-free, that they are looking into it. But he had to be too smart by half. Telling the pitifully small group of BJP legislators in Delhi assembly – “यूँ picture की promotion मत करो आप लोग। बहुत गंदे लगते हो।” When he is the single most prolific movie publicising CM of India.
Again the teacher regularisation issue would never have seen the light of day. He made some fake claims (or attempted to project fake impression) in the Navika interview on Times Now. Fact checkers were quick to pounce on him. I have not researched this. But am banking on Anand Ranganathan to present the true picture.
Interestingly, India’s supposed ‘fact-checker on record’ @altnews – is nowhere to be seen. Neither for nor against. That is a fairly good indication that Arvind Kejriwal tried to pull wool over our eyes.

ये मुसीबतें

मुसीबतों को तो हम दिलो-जाँ से चाहते हैं,

जब वो हमसे रूठ जाती हैं, तो हम खुद उन्हें मनाने जाते हैं!

When is a lynching not a lynching?

When is a lynching not a lynching?

Maybe when it happens in a non-BJP ruled state. And that too by a non-Hindu community.

The officer was from Bihar Police, and was chasing goons in a border village in West Bengal.

The above happening is truly mind-numbing and shocking. It almost appears that some people may spend the rest of their lives in jail, but while ensuring that police officers think twice before venturing again into their no-go zones.

Ouch! Flanked from the top

If you are the market leader, there is a major responsibility on your shoulders.

That of being aggressive in introducing new products, particularly pushing the envelope in terms of offering higher-end products.

The market leader has the luxury, in the form of an established market and a strong distribution network, to take risks towards launching more creative products and also those which test the limits of much the customer is willing to pay.

It is indeed a sad day when due to the somnolence of the company, it finds itself flanked from the top. I.e. a competitor preempts the company by launching a product in a higher price segment as compared to the prevailing best sellers of the established company.

Bajaj Auto did it to Hero Honda (when Hero and Honda were as part of a single company). Bajaj Auto was struggling to make inroads in the bike segment but was finding it tough to dent the strong positioning of Splendour and Passion which were popular offerings with the Honda label.

Bajaj Auto, after some unsuccessful efforts to position itself from a scooter company to a bike company worthy of challenging Honda, hit upon a novel plan. Instead of fighting with Honda on the competitor’s turf, it decided to flank it from the top. It launched the Pulsar, the quintessential macho bike. The customers lapped it up. Bajaj was no longer fighting with Honda. It had positioned itself above it.

In one fell swoop, in was not only worthy of the Japanese competitor, it was one up on it.

Hero Honda let this fate befall upon itself. It had only itself to blame.

Similarly, when a senior executive from Hero Cycles quit the company to start selling expensive imported bicycles in India. Hero Cycles itself should have started producing cycles costing more than Rs 10,000 each using imported components like Shimano gears. It was again complacent and left the field vacant for a new-comer.

Let this be a lesson to all market leaders and also those placed in a strong enough position to take risks of breaking the glass ceiling regarding premium products.

Who is the Father of Surgery? India’s view v/s Australia’s

Sushruta

Sushruta was an Indian physician widely known as the ‘Father of Surgery’
Above photo is the statue of Sushruta at The Royal Australia College of Surgeons. The college trains surgeons & is responsible for maintaining surgical standards in Australia & NZ.
Sushruta was the first documented surgeon in the world and is considered as the Father of Surgery.
But, the textbook of the Kerala State Board mentions that Abu-al-Qasim Al-Zahwari is the ‘Father of Surgery’. He was an Arab physician & chemist who was born almost 1500 years after Sushruta.
This distortion is pathetic!
