Can India be made a genuine secular democracry?

The Indian version of secularism is nothing but a continuation of the British Divide & Rule policy. It helps in vote-bank politics, while the electorate by and large takes politicians' multi-communalism for secularism: appease and annoy one community at a time!

Virag Men's Rights Activists demand clauses of legal safety for men in Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill

Is it OK to expect men to pay up when a marriage/relationship breaks? Is it OK to hold a man responsible (always) for a marriage break up and ensure to have social and legal mechanism that force him to pay a price for it? Is it OK to abuse a man merely because he is a man? What are the answers to the above questions that we get at the back of our minds as we read them? If the answer to any of the above questions is a NO, then why do we still have gender-biased and anti-male laws in existence and more are in pipeline? This article explains the additional clauses that men's rights activists have demanded from the Govt. in the Marriage Laws (Amendment) Bill.

M.C. Raj Hope Siddaramaiah listens to the people of Karnataka

He has arrived as a mild storm in Karnataka. Not totally unexpected though! This Siddaramaiah, the new Chief Minister of Karnataka, is definitely a welcome change in a state that was caught in a whirlpool of corruption and totally bad governance for quite a long time. His party, his caste, etc., fade in the background in the face of the ideological legacy that he is associated with.
