Not a single foreigner working in Bollywood has so far applied for citizenship , though some of them are living in India for more than seven years. The biggies include superstar and blockbuster heroine Katrina Kaif who has been living in India and is part of Indian film industry since 2003. Another is famous singer Adnan Sami who still is reluctant of taking Indian citizenship .. I had some questions perturbing me ,  Why even after 60 years of independence - 1) We are afraid of standing for our rights and honor 2) We love to be insulted and abased by everyone without batting an eyelid 3) Our workers have to slog and plead for visas in foreign countries 4) In the name of level playing field and equal opportunities only our interests are sacrificed by our government 5) Those who want to use the country only for earning money and not be proud of the country be allowed to do so freely 6) We are freely doling out visas to people for working inside India 7) We don't have different ...

After the partition of India and Pakistan , there were huge stretches of properties of land and properties left by Hindus in Pakistan and Muslims in India . Such property was declared as enemy property by both the governments and given to custodian who were government officers. All the property whose owners had emigrated to the other country was declared enemy property. In some cases some family members stayed  in the earlier countries and claimed it back . Some of them are under litigation even now. Recently government of India let an ordinance vesting control of all such properties under government of India lapse. This ordinance was triggered in wake of Raja Mehmod's kin  getting properties worth over 3000 crore back from government of India. Pakistan government has already sold all such properties own by Indians in Pakistan. But Indian government which should compensate those Indians who lost their properties in Pakistan by these properties in busy indulging in vote ban...

Oracle has sued Google for intentional infringement of its patents over Java . This is the start of a new series of conflicts between the Technology giants over patents. I wont be writing on any technical details of the issue since internet has a lot of articles describing it in great deal. I want to focus on the more ethical question whether Oracle should sue Google for using Java in its Android .. Some people feel Oracle is out in the market to make money and there is nothing wrong in it trying to earn money out of the patents of Sun. On the other hand there are puritans who find it unethical for Oracle for trying to earn money out of Java, which is widely respected Open Source language. I am myself an avid Open source enthusiast and am hurt by the actions of Oracle. But the harsh reality is that any attempts by Oracle to monetize its patents even if unfortunately are inside legal framework. It can be seen in the backdrop of capitalism and socialism. These corporates operate w...

Bahut der se soye nahi hai wo, Aankhen aaj kuch surkh si ho chali hain, Humen batla bhi nahi rahi hai kya baat hai wo, Intezar ki ghadiyan se umar se lambi ho chali hain

Indian government's  recent decision to offer 5 million USD to Pakistan for flood relief when several Indian states are reeling under drought and flood has come under heavy criticism from all corners. The Indian wounds of Mumbai have not even heeled completely that we has this salt being rubbed over them. The current government being led by on of the of the greatest economists probably has some Manhomohanomic logic behind this action which is not understandable by my naive mind. Some of the so called experts say that those areas under floods are being provided relief by terrorist organization like Jaamat-ul-Dawa(JUD). The good for nothing Pakistani administration is unable to take care of  its people and can only cry about non state actors hijacking the peace.  These experts say that JUD will be using these areas as recruitment grounds for its terrorist operations and India by helping Pakistan in Flood relief can neutralize this. By my understanding it is just like feeding a ...

Sitaren bhi din ko saath chor diya karte hai, Roshni  bhi saanjh ko saath chor deti hai, Sukoon ke liye zameen ke aagosh mein hi aasman aata hai, Do pal ke liye to saath koi bhi nibha leta hai, zindagi bhar saath nibhane waala koi naseeb se milta hai  !!!
