Mort Walker wrote:Despite all the bad stuff we may read, the people of India are kind hearted. Killing and violence is inimical to their ethos. Could you imagine if per capita income levels were to drop in the US or other western countries? They would rob, rape, and murder like there was no tomorrow (several US states are open weapon carry states). India is not a police state and doesn't need to be. As you stated, which I bolded in your quote, and to paraphrase what Rahul Mehta had said in the past, strengthening the court system and quickly adjudicating cases will cost much less than extending police forces and yield better results for law and order.

Delhi: Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee meets Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

A day after “harshly” advising Justice D Y Chandrachud not to indulge in conjecture while appreciating evidence on record in the Ayodhya land dispute case, senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for Muslim parties, said Justice Ashok Bhushan’s “aggressive” tone in questioning “frightened him a little”.

Arguing before a bench of CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S A Bobde, Chandrachud, Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer on Thursday, Dhavan said there was absolutely no evidence to back the claim of Hindu parties that idols were worshipped inside Babri Masjid prior to 1949. He said the idols were always worshipped at Ram Chaubtra in the mosque’s outer courtyard and these were surreptitiously placed under the central dome on the intervening night of December 22-23, 1949, to desecrate the mosque.

Justice Bhushan pointed to a witness’s deposition before the Allahabad high court that as a 12-year-old, he had visited the disputed structure in 1935 and had seen idols being worshipped inside the structure. Dhavan said, “What is the credence of this witness who is unable to identify any of the 12 photographs of the disputed structure?”

Justice Bhushan said, “It is not a question of believing his evidence. His evidence was considered by the HC. I am just pointing out that there is evidence on record that in 1935, idols were there inside the mosque.” When Dhavan stoutly countered the witness’s evidence, Justice Bhushan asked, “Can we not look into the statement if it is relied upon by the HC, even if it was not pointed out by Hindu parties?

Expressing his annoyance at the judge’s insistence to look into the evidence, Dhavan asked, “Is there some aggression in the judge’s tone in putting the question? I am a little frightened.”

This immediately drew a protest from senior advocate C S Vaidyanathan, who said, “It is unfortunate that a senior advocate of Dhavan’s stature is making allegations that the judge is aggressive when a question is put to him.” Referring to Dhavan’s repeated and proud flaunting of his ancestral connections to the North West Frontier Province (Pakistan) during the arguments (Still the rot is too deep in some punjabis, we will have to wait at least another 10-15 years till all the afflicted ass-holes are dead and bharat varsh is truly free of these vermin) CJI Gogoi said, “People from NWFP are not frightened easily.” Justice Chandrachud, to whose aid Justice Bhushan had stepped in when the former was being lectured by Dhavan on Wednesday for “venturing into conjectures”, returned the “favour" on Thursday.

Disapproving Dhavan’s overreaction, Justice Chandrachud said, “We ask searching questions to elicit appropriate answers to clear doubts in our mind. There is no question of a judge showing aggression during a hearing. It is just a question.” (pleasently surprised by justice chandrachud's behavior)

Dhavan was quick to apologise to Justice Bhushan, as he had done on Wednesday to Justice Chandrachud for being “a little harsh”, attributing it to his possible tiredness. To Justice Bhushan, he said, “My apologies. I was a little taken aback by the insistence on the question. I have appeared before you (Justice) in the HC long time ago and then too you had asked searching questions.” (Scumbag wants everything easy and on a platter to himself)

DK Shivakumar if his financial dealings are to be believed; is said to have researched & developed a unique agriculture scheme in which Gold can be cultivated in farm lands. This invention has been widely appreciated in the "secular, liberal & progressive" camps in India, while the "communal" group has been seen sulking. Gold smugglers from neighbouring Kerala has already shown keen interest in this new form of cultivation as they find that their old agriculture methods like protecting gold by keeping it inside the bum was getting risky.

Auto value chain data sold to private parties in breach of privacy




Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had revealed in Parliament recently that the government is selling vehicle registration and driving licence data of Indians and earning money from it.


20th September 2019

NEW DELHI: With data privacy now becoming hot button, breaches too are common place. However, when the government itself decides to wilfully use data to generate revenue, then questions of propriety are raised for this is proprietary data with the right to it and ownership of it vested with the individual.

With the government looking to monetise data, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had revealed in Parliament recently that the government is selling vehicle registration and driving licence data of Indians and earning money from it. It is not known whether this decision was ratified by the Law Ministry since issues of privacy are involved.

Replying to a query posed by Congress MP Husain Dalwa, who asked if the government has intended to sell Vahan and Sarathi database in bulk (and) if so, the estimated value for the sale, Gadkari stated that it has provided 87 private and 32 government entities access to Vahan and Sarathi database which has yielded a revenue of Rs 65 crore so far. This is peanuts for the breach involves giving access to tele marketers, leading to widespread harassment, DND (do not disturb) be damned.

If you want to know why the frequency of car manufacturers, financiers and insurers tele calls is rising, then Mr Gadkari is partly to blame for it. More and more people are being inundated with phone calls on topups or loans against owned cars or purchase of upgrades and the reason behind it is that data has been made freely available to a slew of people connected to the auto industry.

An IANS investigation has found that manufacturers Toyota Kirloskar, Tata Motors, Volkswagen India, Indo Farm Equipment manufacturer of tractors, pick n carry cranes, rotary tillers and harvestors; banks like Stan Chart, SBI, Banaskantha Mercantile Coop Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, IDFC Bank, Indus India Bank and Kotak Mahindra bank and vehicle financing companies like Khushbhu Auto Finance, Kanak Durga Finance, John Dere Financial Services, India Infoline Financial, Home Credit India Finance, Hinduja Leyland Finance, Hero Fin Corp, HBD Financial Services and insurers HDFC Ergo General Insurance, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Co, Sundaram Finance, Suryoday Small Finance, Tata Capital Financial Services, Oriental General Insurance, TVS Credit Services are the bulk buyers of the data. These are some of the buyers till date and they represent virtually the entire automobile food chain.

The Vahan and Sarathi ministry maintains the Centralized National Registry through the National Informatics Centre and it contains approximately 25 crore vehicle registration records and 15 crore driving licence records. For the same, the Road Transport and Highways Ministry has also created "Bulk Data Sharing Policy & Procedure".

In Parliament, Gadkari had added that organizations seeking bulk data could obtain it at a price of Rs 3 crore. According to him, education institutes seeking the data could obtain it for "research purposes and internal use only" for a price of Rs 5 lakh.

“First of all ‘secularism’ is not the right word to use in this Indian context at all because secularism has a connotation of hostility towards all religions or indifference towards religion and Indians are not hostile to religion and Indians are not indifferent to religion,” Tully said.

“The mistake the Congress party made was to continue with this word secularism... that left the BJP free to say we are the party of Hindus and this is Hinduism… The Congress should have found in its politics some place for the Hindu community just as it found for Muslims or others,” he said. {Admission by a jurno that even while CONgress was willing to bend backwards for Muslims Islam, it has no place for Hindus Hinduism. Not a new revelation to people like us who have paid attention to the CON system behavior over the years. Still, useful if you are trying to prove this point to a non-partisan Indian/Outsider and especially coming from a gora makes it much more credible for both audience.}

Tully, who was the BBC’s India correspondent for more than two decades, also had some advice for the Congress party.

“I think that today what the Congress should say is that India is a country where 80% call themselves Hindus and we believe that Hinduism, which is natural to India, is a pluralistic religion, a religion which is proud of being tolerant and welcoming to other religions, proud of India’s history,” Tully said while admitting that his views would be controversial.

“That’s what I think the taste of Hinduism in this country should be and I do think that for years and years Congress was playing up that secularism business meanwhile they were completely ignoring the fact that 80% of the country are Hindus,” the Padma Bhushan awardee said. {Clearly CONgress was mindful of all religions except for Hinduism. Note the expression used "secularism business". Very interesting!}

Tully, who spent decades covering India since the 60s, also said the ruling party at the Centre, which was trying to make the country a ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’, had also succeeded in building a ‘BJP-mukt Bharat’.

“Because all politics has become about Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi. The whole thing is an enormous personality cult. That what should tell you about politics about this country. One of the things he manages is he manages to get people to forget by having some new tamasha and the elections were the classic example,” Tully said.

“There was no discussion about how well or how badly his programmes were. The whole thing was turned into a jamboree about Indian nationalism and Hinduism. Surely the public is entitled to a debate which they couldn’t do this time,” he added.

Basically Mark Tully let his mask slip, he's pretty sympathetic to the Congress, wont admit the Congress was not merely not giving space to Hindus but was actually behaving in an anti Hindu manner. Also tries to make it a BJP vs Modi issue (forgetting that the RSS exists) and also goes on to take a few jibes at Modis policies, BJP making a jamboree over nationalism, Hinduism. Classic gora master syndrome. Really shouldn't have expected different anyhow.
