Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Indian government has agreed to purchase 57 Hawk training jets, Hawk AJTs (advanced jet trainers) from BAE systems England, for Indian air force and Indian Navy .
BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce will supply India with 57 Hawk military training jets in a deal worth around US1.09 billion
BAE will supply 40 trainer jets to the air force and the remainder to the navy.
The deal, worth 500 million sterling for BAE systems and up to 200 million sterling for Rolls-Royce, will boost British defence firms looking to break into the huge Indian defence market mostly controlled by Russian, US and Israeli companies.
The Hawker-Siddeley Hawk is an advanced jet trainer which first flew in 1974 and is produced today as the BAE Hawk.
In 2004, India purchased 66 Hawk Training Jets and this is second order to purchase 57 more Hawk trainers. In 2004, HAL had signed a nearly Rs8, 000 crore contract for 66 Hawk trainers from BAE Systems.
The BAE Hawk Mk 132 serves as an advanced jet trainer in the IAF and is progressively replacing the Kiran Mk.II.
The Hawk 132 would adequately serve as lead in trainer for Su-30 MKI, Mirage 2000 and MiG-29 Advanced aircraft.
Problem with this Hawk - I feel that this Hawk Jet will not be useful to train IAF pilots for the 5th generation war planes, aircrafts.
Again in future we have to purchase new training jets from UK or USA or Europe.
But already we Indians are using this trainer jets, and we started to manufacture this jets in India, government may have agreed to buy these jets.
For how many years these jets will be useful for training.
The Hawk Mk. 132 is the latest export variant of the Hawk and was previously known as the Mk. 115Y.
The Mk. 132 formally entered service with the Indian Air Force (IAF) on 23 February 2008
Year 2008 - 2009
More than 75 IAF pilots got training at RAF Hawk fleet at RAF Valley and around
100 IAF engineering officers and technicians got training technicians in BAE Systems’ Technical Training Academy at Warton
The first IAF Hawk AJT crashed at 406 Air Force Station Bidar at 12.40PM on April 29, 2008.
The Navy will get 17 of the 57 new Hawks, which will also be manufactured by HAL, for its own aircraft carrier-based fighter training. Towards this, Navy inked Rs 3,042-crore deal with HAL and in 2013 or 2014 navy will start to get delivery.
The air force needs 40 additional trainers, while the navy has sought 17 trainers to train pilots before they fly supersonic fighters such as MiG-21 and Sukhoi 30MkI.
The Hawks already inducted at the Bidar airbase are being used to train rookie IAF pilots on the intricacies of combat fighter jet flying.
The first aircraft was delivered to the Indian Air Force in December 2007.
By June '08, BAE Systems has delivered 12 of the UK-built jets to the Indian Air Force. In addition BAE Systems has delivered 1,500 tonnes of raw material, 3,500 tools and 15 million components for the aircraft that will be built in India.
BAE Systems has delivered the 24th and final UK built Indian Hawk in November 2009
HAL handed over the first locally-built Hawk 132 to the IAF on 14 August 2008.
These aircraft will be powered by Rolls Royce Mk 871 turbo fan engine.

Proverb - All are equal in the eyes of the law
Meaning –
1.Nobody is beyond the law.
2.The law is supreme. It treats all as equals.
3.Law applies to all to rich or poor
With this proverb I do not agree, it is just half proverb, or wrong proverb.
The full proverb should be like this
Proverb or Quote by sm –
“All are equal in the eyes of the law as per their income, class and status in society. “
Few examples I will give few examples where we can see that law is not equal for all, it depends on your money spending capacity.
1.Anything done by Member of Parliament in upper house is not punishable.
2.Suppose XYZ is punished by sessions court, lower court if criminal is a rich person he files appeal in the high court , he stays out of jail until his death Again if High court gives punishment he files appeal to the Supreme Court of India.
3.There are different kinds of crimes few are bailable and few are non bailable.
4.A poor person do not have money so he stays behind the bar that is in a jail even if his offence ,crime is bailable
5.On the contrary if person is rich, even if his guilt is proven in court and he is punished and convicted by court he stays out of jail until his youth is lost. What is the use of sending old man in jail?
6.Political parties come and beat the common persons on valentine days or attack media houses in presence of Police , but for them law is different. Common man is even afraid to go on the road where police station is situated.
7. In olden times people used to say, “Beta us raste se naa Jana, us ras Te pey police chowki hai. “ This means that , My son please do not use that road for traveling because on that road there is a police station “
Law is not equal for everyone, only in theory law is equal for everyone; in reality law is different as per your paying capacity.
Even Treatment given to prisoners is different in jail if you are rich one can get from bottle to female daily inside jail, and if you are poor you may end up in jail eating or drinking human xxxx.

Political Career of Mamata Banerjee with Congress –
1970 Joined Congress I party.
1976 to 1980 – Held post of General Secretary of Mahila Congress (I), West Bengal,
In the 1984 general election, she became one of India's youngest parliamentarians ever, defeating veteran Communist politician Somnath Chatterjee, from the Jadavpur parliamentary Constituency in West Bengal.
She also became the General-Secretary of the All India Youth Congress.
In the Government formed in 1991 headed by Narsimha Rao as Prime Minister, Mamata Banerjee was in charge of the Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development, Youth Affairs and Sports, along with Women and Child Development.
She was discharged of her portfolios in 1993.
Formation of New Political Party - All India Trinamool Congress (AITC)
In 1997 she left congress party and established new political party All India Trinamool Congress (AITC)
On 11 December 1998, she controversially held a Samajwadi Party MP, Daroga Prasad Saroj, by the collar and dragged him out of the well of the Lok Sabha to prevent him from protesting against the Women's Reservation bill.
In 1999, she joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government and was allocated the Railways Ministry.
In 2000, Mamata Banerjee presented her first Railway Budget.
In early 2001, after making allegations against the BJP, she walked out of the NDA cabinet and allied with the Congress Party for West Bengal's 2001 elections, amidst speculation that the move could unseat the Communist government.
She returned to the cabinet in January 2004, holding the Ministry of Coal and Mines portfolios until the 2004 Elections, in which she was the only Trinamool Congress member to win a Parliament seat from West Bengal.
Year 2005 –
On 20 October 2005, she protested against the industrialization policy of the Buddhadev Bhattacharya government in West Bengal. Benny Santoso, CEO of the Indonesia-based Salim Group had pledged a large investment to West Bengal, and the West Bengal government had given him farmland in Howrah
Her party lost control of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation
In 2006, the Trinamool Congress was defeated in West Bengal's Assembly Elections, losing more than half of its sitting members.
Tata – Nano Singur –
She opposed the project of the Tata, Nano a small car making unit.
The Trinamul Congress MLAs protested by damaging furniture and microphones in the West Bengal Assembly.
Government failed to handle this problem, Tata left and Mamta won.
Nandigram –
The West Bengal government wanted to start a chemical hub in the Nandigram
Mamta opposed that, locals also opposed the project, once again government failed to take the local people in confidence.
Trinamool Congress started a blockade.
On 14 March the cops stared firing and killed 14 villagers, when cops were sent to remove the blockade of around 6 months by Mamata Banerjee's violent movement there.
Again government failed to bring industry because of lack of good policy.
In 2009 parliament elections TMC and Congress, UPA alliance won.
And again she became the Railway Minister.
In 2010 TMC won in corporation elections of KOLKATA CORPORATION and Bidhan Nagar Corporation
Mamata Banerjee attitude towards Maoists
She is kind hearted towards Maoists –
Kolkata, July 21 Railway Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said she would request Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop the anti-Maoist joint operation in West Bengal as the state's ruling Left Front was using this to regain its political turf in the affected areas.
It is expected that in next elections she is going to win west Bengal elections and going to become Chief Minister of west Bengal.

July 2010, Indian Currency got the symbol.
Let’s start to use the Indian currency Symbol using font developed by the fordian Technology, an Indian internet engineering company.
I myself tested it, and font is working fine for me.
Please note that we can use the rupee symbol globally only after Unicode approves it.
But no one is going to stop us from using it in our personal mails and local use and our own documents.
Steps to start using the Indian Currency font.
Download the font from the foradian website
Download version 2.0 Rupee_Foradian.ttf
[ right click and open download window in a new tab, please read full article for full details.]
http://blog.foradian.com/font-with-indian-rupee-symbol-download-and-us
http://blog.foradian.com/rupee-font-version-20
The version 2.0 of the Rupee font contains all the glyphs (letters) and is based on BitstreamVera
Now install this font.
How to install downloaded rupee foradian font?
It is very easy, copy the downloaded font and then go to control panel,
Find the folder named as font, and paste this font into font folder.
Font folder contains all the fonts which we use in our documents.
Linux users, please copy the file to
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/Rupee/Rupee_Foradian.ttf
This font works fine in open office, word as well as Ubuntu.
Now open Microsoft word, choose font Rupee Foradian and press the keyboard key
The grave acent symbol - `
Normally we use times new roman and other fonts while typing in office or word
Now we have to just select the font rupee foradian and press the button above tab and it will generate symbol.
Please first time you may press tab button so be careful and press correct button.
Once the Rupee symbol is generated do not forget to change the font selection to times roman or whichever you are using.
This key or button is situated above the Tab button on our keyboard.
Normally we do not use this button. So it’s good choice.
But changing font will reduce the typing speed, and little bit ignorance and formatting of complete text may get changed.
This is the great opportunity for Keyboard makers in India, if they wish they can start selling the key board with this font within a month.
If you will delay, I am sure china will send the Rupee Keyboard for Indian citizens.
Just have to add one more button on keyboard its very easy task.
It was the duty of government of India to release this font using services of CDAC but now more and more companies will use this type of idea and produce the font or with each keyboard , every company will put the rupee sign at different location on keyboard.
Currently it seems that we have to wait 1 or 2 years for this as.
Now government of India has to fix the rules regarding Indian rupee symbol, keyboard placement of symbol, everything should be same on every keyboard then it may be Logitech or Microsoft keyboard.
Don’t forget to tell your friends to install foradian rupee font.
If you will use this font in your document and mails it is necessary that your friend should also install this font.
Only then he will be able to see the Rupee symbol otherwise your friend will only see a colen symbol & not the rupee symbol
No one cared or thought to ask the question
Why it took sixty years to get the symbol for Indian Rupee?
Was it very difficult?
Now few people say that we have to wait for six months, to get this symbol on keyboards we have to wait for 1 or 2 years.
Why we can not do it in one year or one month .
One month is enough.
Do you think made in china keyboard will first show the Rupee Sign on keyboard or Indian made keyboard ?

Thursday, July 15, 2010
The five member panel has chosen IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar’s design from among five short listed symbols and recommended it for Cabinet approval.
Below is the photo of Indian Rupee symbol -
Kumar’s symbol is an amalgam of the Devanagari ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ without the stem
The Ministry had organized a symbol design competition with prize money of Rs 2.5 lakh with the condition that it should be applicable to the standard keyboard, be in the national language script or a visual representation and should represent the historical and cultural ethos of the country.
The basic aim of the new symbol is to provide the Indian rupee international recognition
In the global space, the unique sign will also help isolate the currency from the current abbreviation ‘Rs’ which is used by neighboring Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
Kumar’s concept is based on the Tricolor and “arithmetic equivalence”.
While the white space between the two horizontal lines gives the impression of the national flag with the Shook Chakra, the two bold parallel lines stand for ‘equals to’, representing balance in the economy, both within and with other economies of the world.
In future All new Indian notes will now bear the symbol.

What is chlorine?
Chlorine is one of the most abundant chemical elements on Earth. It is ubiquitous in soils, minerals, plants and animals.
The discovery of chlorine by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1774 marked the beginning of the modern era of bleaching.
In 1774, in his small experimental laboratory, Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhem Scheele released a few drops of hydrochloric acid onto a piece of manganese dioxide. Within seconds, a greenish-yellow gas arose.
Although he had no idea at the time, he had just discovered chlorine.
The fact that the greenish-yellow gas was actually an element was only recognized several decades later by English chemist Sir Humphrey Davy. Until that time, people were convinced that the gas was a compound of oxygen. Davy gave the element its name on the basis of the Greek word khloros, for greenish-yellow. In 1810 he suggested the name "chloric gas" or "chlorine."
The most common compound of chlorine, sodium chloride, has been known since ancient times; archaeologists have found evidence that rock salt was used as early as 3000 BC and brine as early as 6000 BC
Chlorine is the chemical element with atomic number 17 and symbol Cl.
It is a halogen, found in the periodic table in group 17 (formerly VII, VIIa, or VIIb)
In its "normal" state, chlorine is a greenish yellow gas, but at -34°C it turns to a liquid.
It is the eleventh most common element in the earth's crust and is widespread in nature
Chlorine is a gas with a very irritating odor.
Chlorination is the process of adding the element chlorine to water as a method of water purification to make it fit for human consumption as drinking water.
Water which has been treated with chlorine is effective in preventing the spread of water born disease.
During the production of paper and cloth, chlorine is used as a bleaching agent. It is also used in cleaning products, including household bleach which is chlorine dissolved in water. Chlorine is used in the preparation of chlorides, chlorinated solvents, pesticides, polymers, synthetic rubbers, and refrigerants.
The production of chlorine results in the co-products caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Chlorine is a naturally-occurring chemical element, one of the basic building blocks of matter. Scattered throughout the rocks of Earth’s continents and concentrated in its salty oceans, chlorine is an essential nutrient for plants and animals.
A common misconception is that elemental chlorine (Cl2) is present in chlorinated water. During water chlorination, elemental chlorine gas may be added to the water at first; however, the chlorine is quickly transformed into other chemicals, which actually disinfect the water.
Hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite are two of these chemicals that disinfect the water.
Chlorine dissolves in water and is converted into chloride and hypochlorous acid.
If chlorine is spilled into water or onto soil or if it is released from a tank into the air, the chlorine will evaporate very quickly forming a greenish-yellow cloud that is heavier than air and can be carried by the wind several miles from the source.
Chlorine is broken down by sunlight within a matter of several minutes.
The most common method of making chlorine is by passing an electric current through a saltwater solution.
The solution separates into chlorine and two other useful products: sodium hydroxide -- also known as caustic soda or lye -- and hydrogen.
Some of the advantages and chemical/physical properties of chlorine include:
•Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature.
•Chlorine has a pungent, irritating odor similar to bleach that is detectable at low concentrations.
•Without sodium chloride (salt), there would be no life.
•The density of chlorine gas is approximately 2.5 times greater than air, which will cause it to initially remain near the ground in areas with little air movement.
•Chlorine is not flammable, but may react explosively or form explosive compounds with many common substances (including acetylene, ether, turpentine, ammonia, natural gas, hydrogen, and finely divided metals).
•Chlorine is slightly water soluble, and reacts with moisture to form hypochlorous acid (HClO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
•Chlorine is commonly pressurized and cooled for storage and shipment as an amber-colored liquid.
•When we drive a car, use a computer, drink a glass of water, or wear vinyl rain gear, chlorine works for us
•Chlorine plays an important role in harnessing solar energy -- purifying the silicon found in grains of sand and helping transform them into solar panel chips.
•Sodium chloride literally keeps our bodies from drying up, moves our muscles, makes our meals matter, and attacks germs to keep us healthy.
How do we get exposed to chlorine?
1.People who work in places where chlorine is made or used may be exposed to low levels over a period of time.
2.Improper use of swimming pool chemicals.
3.If we mix household chemicals such as toilet cleaner with bleach. Mixing household cleaners containing ammonia with bleach may also release dangerous chemicals into the air.
4.breathing, skin contact, and eye contact if an accident involving chlorine takes place nearby, such as a liquid chlorine spill, a leak from a chlorine tank, or a leak from a facility that produces or uses chlorine.
How chlorine affects the health?
1.Exposure to low levels of chlorine can result in nose, throat, and eye irritation.
2.At higher levels, breathing chlorine gas may result in changes in breathing rate and coughing, and damage to the lungs.
3.Some people may develop an inflammatory reaction to chlorine. This condition is called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), a type of asthma caused by some irritating or corrosive substances.
4.people who suffer from respiratory conditions such as allergies or hay fever, or who are heavy smokers, tend to experience more severe effects
5.Drinking small amounts of hypochlorite solution (less than a cup) can produce irritation of the esophagus.
6.Drinking concentrated hypochlorite solution can produce severe damage to the upper digestive tract and even death. These effects are most likely caused by the caustic nature of the hypochlorite solution and not from exposure to molecular chlorine.
7.Spilling hypochlorite solution on the skin can produce irritation. The severity of the effects depends on the concentration of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach.
8.Short-term exposures (minutes) to high concentrations of chlorine affect children in the same manner they affect adults
9.We do not know whether exposure to chlorine gas during pregnancy can result in damage to unborn babies because there are no studies of pregnant women or pregnant animals exposed to chlorine gas.
Does chlorine cause cancer?
No, it does not cause cancer.
There are no medical tests to determine whether you have been exposed specifically to chlorine.
Chlorine is transformed in the body into chloride ions, which are normal components of the body.
An enormous amount of chlorine has to be inhaled or ingested in order to detect a significant increase in chloride ions in the blood.
How is chlorine poisoning treated?
There is no antidote for chlorine poisoning.
If contact with liquid chlorine occurs, immediate decontamination of skin and eyes with copious amounts of water is important.
This should be done cautiously for patients whose exposure has resulted in frostbite. Chemical burns which result from chlorine exposure should be treated as thermal burns.
Inhalational chlorine poisoning is treated with supportive care and can include administration of humidified oxygen, bronchodilators and airway management. Pulmonary edema may be delayed and, therefore, patients should be monitored for up to 24 hours following severe inhalation exposures.
It is important to maintain ventilation and oxygenation, monitor arterial blood gases and/or pulse oximetry, and consider positive airway pressure as a treatment option.
Most people recover following exposure to chlorine gas.
Is it possible to use Chlorine as a weapon in war ?
Chlorine gas, also known as bertholite, was first used as a weapon in World War I by Germany on April 22, 1915 in the Second Battle of Ypres.
It was pioneered by a German scientist later to be a Nobel laureate, Fritz Haber of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin, in collaboration with the German chemical conglomerate IG Farben, who developed methods for discharging chlorine gas against an entrenched enemy.
Chlorine gas has also been used by insurgents against the local population and coalition forces in the Iraq War in the form of chlorine bombs. On March 17, 2007, for example, three chlorine filled trucks were detonated in the Anbar province killing two and sickening over 350
How we can reduce the risk of exposure to chlorine?
1.Do not mix bleach with other household cleaners such as toilet cleaners because chlorine gas can be released to the air.
2.Do not mix bleach with household cleaners containing ammonia because dangerous chemicals can be released to the air.
3.Chlorine gas can also be released to the air when chemicals used to chlorinate swimming pools are mishandled.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established an environmental air limit of 0.5 ppm.
Exposure to higher levels could result in discomfort and irritation.
Dependent on the concentration, these effects may be reversible when exposure ends.

1.People who work in places where chlorine is made or used may be exposed to low levels over a period of time.
2.Improper use of swimming pool chemicals.
3.If we mix household chemicals such as toilet cleaner with bleach. Mixing household cleaners containing ammonia with bleach may also release dangerous chemicals into the air.
4.breathing, skin contact, and eye contact if an accident involving chlorine takes place nearby, such as a liquid chlorine spill, a leak from a chlorine tank, or a leak from a facility that produces or uses chlorine.
How chlorine affects the health?
1.Exposure to low levels of chlorine can result in nose, throat, and eye irritation.
2.At higher levels, breathing chlorine gas may result in changes in breathing rate and coughing, and damage to the lungs.
3.Some people may develop an inflammatory reaction to chlorine. This condition is called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS), a type of asthma caused by some irritating or corrosive substances.
4.people who suffer from respiratory conditions such as allergies or hay fever, or who are heavy smokers, tend to experience more severe effects
5.Drinking small amounts of hypochlorite solution (less than a cup) can produce irritation of the esophagus.
6.Drinking concentrated hypochlorite solution can produce severe damage to the upper digestive tract and even death. These effects are most likely caused by the caustic nature of the hypochlorite solution and not from exposure to molecular chlorine.
7.Spilling hypochlorite solution on the skin can produce irritation. The severity of the effects depends on the concentration of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach.
8.Short-term exposures (minutes) to high concentrations of chlorine affect children in the same manner they affect adults
9.We do not know whether exposure to chlorine gas during pregnancy can result in damage to unborn babies because there are no studies of pregnant women or pregnant animals exposed to chlorine gas.
Does chlorine cause cancer?
No, it does not cause cancer.
There are no medical tests to determine whether you have been exposed specifically to chlorine.
Chlorine is transformed in the body into chloride ions, which are normal components of the body.
An enormous amount of chlorine has to be inhaled or ingested in order to detect a significant increase in chloride ions in the blood.
How is chlorine poisoning treated?
There is no antidote for chlorine poisoning.
If contact with liquid chlorine occurs, immediate decontamination of skin and eyes with copious amounts of water is important.
This should be done cautiously for patients whose exposure has resulted in frostbite. Chemical burns which result from chlorine exposure should be treated as thermal burns.
Inhalational chlorine poisoning is treated with supportive care and can include administration of humidified oxygen, bronchodilators and airway management. Pulmonary edema may be delayed and, therefore, patients should be monitored for up to 24 hours following severe inhalation exposures.
It is important to maintain ventilation and oxygenation, monitor arterial blood gases and/or pulse oximetry, and consider positive airway pressure as a treatment option.
Most people recover following exposure to chlorine gas.
Is it possible to use Chlorine as a weapon in war ?
Chlorine gas, also known as bertholite, was first used as a weapon in World War I by Germany on April 22, 1915 in the Second Battle of Ypres.
It was pioneered by a German scientist later to be a Nobel laureate, Fritz Haber of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin, in collaboration with the German chemical conglomerate IG Farben, who developed methods for discharging chlorine gas against an entrenched enemy.
Chlorine gas has also been used by insurgents against the local population and coalition forces in the Iraq War in the form of chlorine bombs. On March 17, 2007, for example, three chlorine filled trucks were detonated in the Anbar province killing two and sickening over 350
How we can reduce the risk of exposure to chlorine?
1.Do not mix bleach with other household cleaners such as toilet cleaners because chlorine gas can be released to the air.
2.Do not mix bleach with household cleaners containing ammonia because dangerous chemicals can be released to the air.
3.Chlorine gas can also be released to the air when chemicals used to chlorinate swimming pools are mishandled.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established an environmental air limit of 0.5 ppm.
Exposure to higher levels could result in discomfort and irritation.
Dependent on the concentration, these effects may be reversible when exposure ends.

Provincial small cause courts –
In 1753 Courts of Requests were created in the three Presidency towns.
In 1850 Legislature abolished the courts of requests and established courts of small causes in their place.
These courts are the courts of minor jurisdiction and provide quick justice in cases of small monetary value.
These courts were constituted by the Provincial small cause’s courts act, XLII of 1860 which was amended by act of XI of 1865.
Again this act was replaced by new legislation, act IX of 1887.
The act gives power to state government to establish courts of small causes and these courts can take cognizance of civil suits up to a value of 500 rupees but state government may extend their jurisdiction to one thousand rupees.
Following types of cases are excluded from the purview of these courts.
• Suits regarding government acts
• Possession of immoveable property etc
A suit cognizable by a court of small causes is not to be tried by any other court.
The decision of small cause courts are final but the High Court exercises a power of revision.
A court of small causes is subject to the administrative control of the district court and to the superintendence of the High Court.
Advantage of small cause court is that speedy justice in petty litigation.
These courts follow summary procedure.
If civil judge is given this type of work, it loses all the merits and in small cases also people do not get the speedy justice.
A civil court was established in the Madras under the Madras city civil court act, VII of 1892.
In 1955 the state government took power under the act to extend its jurisdiction up to rupees 50,000.
These courts try civil cases only and appeals from it lie to the High court.
Bombay city civil court act, 1948 was passed by the Bombay legislature which created civil court just like Madras civil court.
The main reason to establish this court is to reduce the workload of High courts.
Calcutta civil court was established in 1957 under legislation passed by the west Bengal Legislature in 1953.
Village Panchayat Courts –
Village Panchayat is very old traditional system of law in Hindu India as well as Muslim India.
Art.40 Directive Principle in the Indian Constitution declares the state shall take steps to organize village panchyats and give them such powers and authority to enable them to function as units of self government.
Every state in India has enacted legislation to regulate the composition, constitution and powers of the village Panchyat.
Punjab Tenancy Act 1887
Punjab Gram Panchyat Act 1952
For me I think India does not need Panchayat system, India needs more educated judges and courts, the number of courts should be increased in India.
Only an educated person, layman, judge can give justice to any person.
Panchayat means it brings the ghost of caste and religion while giving the justice.
Justice should be always given without consideration of caste and religion.

Adhishree Gopalkrishnan who is she?
Adhishree Gopalkrishnan is a 13 year old girl, who was expelled from Goregaon’s Vibgyor High School without doing anything wrong , her fault is only that her mother tried to get the justice .
Bombay high court chief justice Mohit Shah said, “We have seen marriages broken by the behaviour of a husband or wife’s parents. This is the first case where academic career of a child is in jeopardy because of the social behaviour of parents.”
The court was informed that the school management had refused admission to Adhishri because her mother had lodged a “false and unwarranted” police complaint against the school management in July 2009, alleging that she feared the school would physically harm her and Adhishri.
But what ever information I found regarding this I came to know after the protest of mother and trying hard , school has to reduce their fee and after this the girl child was expelled from her school .
Complete Story of Adhishree Gopalkrishnan
Chronology of Events –
28 Mar, 2008: Fee Hike case registered with 1000+ Vibgyor parents signatures filed with the High Court by Avisha Kulkarni, Sanjita Prasad, Balachandran Unni, Prashant Basrur and Vishal Ruia in representative capacity.
3 July, 2009: As per the Court directives, Deputy Director, Education Department, issues order to reduce fees by nearly Rs. 20,000
School defies the order. Asks parents to pay the original hiked fee structure. Avisha persists with the Education Department to force the school to implement the order. Edu. Dept issues letter in the name of ‘Avisha and parents’ to pay the reduced fees.
School demands the original hiked fees. Parents protest outside the school. All parents are requested by Dy Director’s order to abstain from paying the hiked fees. Yet, every parent pays the original hiked fees except Avisha.
Avisha going by the Court orders and not paying the hiked fees angers the management Avisha starts getting calls.
22-23 July, 2009: Avisha starts getting tip-off calls from reliable source close to the management about threats to her life and expelling the child from the school.
24 July, 2009: As a law abiding citizen, with a proof of support, Avisha brings this to the notice of the Police by writing a letter Expelling of Adhishree as tipped by the caller (and mentioned in the letter to the police) has indeed come true.
12 Aug, 2009: After investigations, the police did not register any complaint, cognizable or non-cognizable but wrote a letter to Avisha on 12 Aug, 2009 informing her that Mr. Kerawalla was summoned to the police station for enquiry and was cautioned against not doing any such act which might result in a law and order problem. Avisha treated it as a closed chapter.
The school has given the following 3 points as reasons for canceling Adhishree’s admission for IX grade
Reason 1: For filing a false complaint and unwarranted allegations against the management
Reason 2: For writing a letter holding the Principal responsible for books lost in the school
Reason 3: For participating and leading Morchas against the Principal
Adhishree was hopeful of going back to school a month after she was expelled. But the Bombay high court dismissed her petition .
Adhishree, through her mother Avisha Gopalkrishnan, had challenged her expulsion from Vibgyor High School in Goregaon on June 2. According to her petition, she was made to bear the brunt of her mother’s protests against an alleged misappropriation of funds. She had urged the court to direct the management to re-admit her as she had paid the fees (Rs80,000) for the term on May.
Speaking for Vibgyor High, senior counsel Janak Dwarkadas said, “We have been compelled to take this unfortunate step [of expelling the child].” He said it was Gopalkrishnan’s tiff with the school management that led to the chief minister, the minister of education, the charity commissioner and the education inspector to prod the school to take Adhishree back.
If school does not want her to study on the first Instance how can school accept the fees and give her admission ?
The mother of the child forgot that the in India laws are made for rich and for their benefit.
I appreciate her courage for fighting for justice with the rich people , rich management and the country where people are afraid of going against system.
My questions are:
For the crimes of parents how can we punish Adhishree?
What about the right to education act?
What about the fundamental rights?
Today if we do not oppose this verdict tomorrow it will be your son or daughter.
Does it mean that if we do not have money then we can not send our kids to good schools.
Don’t we have fundamental right to raise the voice against the fee hike or the things which parents find wrong which school is doing?
What if tomorrow kids commit suicide because of no admission in school who will be responsible for this , the court or school or mother .
What is the fault of student ?
Do you think this judgment is right ?
Problem in India is that we do not find the certified copies of legal judgments on internet easily .
I can find American or British or Canadian judgments easily on internet but regarding Indian courts its nearly impossible to find the information .
Without reading the judgment in this case it is very difficult to say who made the mistake .
The school said that
“The academics of the child are good then why don’t they admit her to another school?” said Dwarkadas, school, advocate.
If this case does not go to the Supreme Court it will give free hand to all the schools in Maharashtra to expelled any student from the school.
School Management will become to strong , but who cares in India.
The marriage of Dhoni or Viveka suicide case or this case of Adhishree Gopalkrishnan
Which case is more important for India and Indian society .
One very important question this case has raised is that
Tomorrow when as per right to education act 25% seats are reserved for poor class.
How they will be able to study in these schools ?
Yes we Indians are very selfish , it’s the fault of mother who fought for the justice for everyone and today no one is ready to help her .
Remember always we are living in India and in India we will never get justice .
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied .
BK Subbarao, advocate for the petitioners, told the court that the school and parents had been litigating since 2007, but it was now that the school had expelled the child.
My question is that Does child does not suffer last 3 years , how school now realize that child will not be able to study in the school .
How justice can punish the kid for the sins of parents.
Adhishree Gopalkrishnan what is her fault ?
Her fault is only that she is born in a country where justice is not guaranteed .
Now what she should do ?
I do not find any thing wrong done by the Adhishree Gopalkrishnan , she has paid fees, she has attendance, and she has not done anything wrong.
School says she is intelligent and good student in this case we can see that
Adhishree Gopalkrishnan has a full right to study in that school only if she wishes .
School Management has no right to punish a kid for the sins of parents then they may be good sins or bad sins.
We Indians have habit to run away from the problems and justice and we are so coward that we can not even openly support someone who is fighting for justice.
If you care for India and future of next generation please spread this news and make everyone aware about this .
I am sure you will say that she should study in different school that is correct ?
Now my question is tomorrow if they say if u want freedom of speech go to America
Then what we are suppose to do in this case ?
Does the student has no right to decide where she wants to study ?
The truth is school management is afraid that if she studies in the school other parents will get the confidence and every one will start to fight for the justice.
Jai of school education
Jai Ho Toothless Right to education Act .
Corruption and Injustice is the religion of India.

Kulkarni moved the Supreme Court in August 2011.
Explaining the delay to Media, TOI she said that
"My primary concern was to seek admission for my daughter in a new school and to help her settle there. She was in Std IX, where missing four months of academics was not advisable. When I was convinced that she is settled in the new school, I moved the Supreme court of India.
Kulkarni's main prayer was asking the school to set aside the expulsion order. The SC bench of Justices R M Lodha and H L Gokhale disposed of the petition and ordered the school to withdraw the expulsion letter.
The Supreme Court directed the management of Vibgyor High School to withdraw the letter by which Adhishree was expelled from the school.
But mother said that "I do not want my daughter to undergo the mental trauma once again. I will not send her back to the same school," said Avisha Kulkarni, Adhishree Gopalkrishnan's mother.
But what happened after so much, she is not studying in same school and we can understand the reasons, its good that she is not studying in that school.
But don’t you think damages should be paid and given to the girl who has suffered so much because of wrongful expulsion of her from school.

This is my first Tag on this blog. IHM has asked me to do this Tag.
She says, “Please list at least ten things you have ever wanted or done which your gender is not supposed to.”
It is titled: My sins against gender stereotypes.
We have all had gender stereotyping stuffed down our throats at some part of our life or another. It is the assumption that certain jobs, skills and interests are meant for a particular gender that stinks up to high hell.
Many bloggers of repute are now outlining the things they’ve done or would like to do that transcends gender barriers.
Here is my list - My sins against gender stereotypes
1. Like cooking
2. Like clean home and cleaning the home.
3. When I was in school I was in Scholar Batch so studied with girls and participated in Bhondla which I enjoyed it. "Bhondla is the specialty of Maharashtra's culture. It unites ladies and provides them some moments of enjoyment. Morning school was for girls and afternoon school was for boys . And a special batch of boys and girls , mixed batch was started in morning session.
4. I do not like driving and do not hesitate to sit behind the girl if she is driving only if I have confidence that she knows driving as good as me or better than me.
5. I like Pink color
6. I like the chocolates
7. I like diamonds.
8. I like silk
9. I like flowers
10. I like romantic movies.
The girls who like the things which boys like are called as tomboys and boys who like the girl things are called as Sissy boys. And there is new term also Metro sexual males.
Tomboys and Sissy boys society looks at them differently.
Boys who love the girl things may become target of society as well as friends.
If we carefully read ancient stories one can easily find the great males and their love for girly things or the things which they have done.
Arjuna and Krishna is a good example I think
Arjuna – staying one year story
Krishna - distribution of Amrut story and calming of Shiva.
I believe that male or female both enjoy all things which are beautiful which gives us happiness and freshness.
Everything depends on the child hood and parenting skills of parents and studies. Higher studies and book reading habits.
It is important that which type of books one is reading if someone is reading wrong type of religious books then he may end up becoming terrorist.
People are afraid to go against the society and how backword or liberal is society on that depends the choices of male and female.
When I started to write this tag I thought its very easy but as I started to write down this tag I found it very difficult.
This is like a serial Sach Ka Samna. And also this is my first tag found it very difficult.
Thanks IHM for asking me to write this Tag.

The girls who like the things which boys like are called as tomboys and boys who like the girl things are called as Sissy boys. And there is new term also Metro sexual males.
Tomboys and Sissy boys society looks at them differently.
Boys who love the girl things may become target of society as well as friends.
If we carefully read ancient stories one can easily find the great males and their love for girly things or the things which they have done.
Arjuna and Krishna is a good example I think
Arjuna – staying one year story
Krishna - distribution of Amrut story and calming of Shiva.
I believe that male or female both enjoy all things which are beautiful which gives us happiness and freshness.
Everything depends on the child hood and parenting skills of parents and studies. Higher studies and book reading habits.
It is important that which type of books one is reading if someone is reading wrong type of religious books then he may end up becoming terrorist.
People are afraid to go against the society and how backword or liberal is society on that depends the choices of male and female.
When I started to write this tag I thought its very easy but as I started to write down this tag I found it very difficult.
This is like a serial Sach Ka Samna. And also this is my first tag found it very difficult.
Thanks IHM for asking me to write this Tag.

But Best collages have limited seats for the 11th standard and students who want admission they are ten times more than the available seats in those collages.
Now Government of Maharashtra has to solve this problem.

Centuries later, Chaucer wrote in 'Canterbury Tales' (c. 1387), 'in wikked haste is not profit.’
A longer version of the saying was quoted in John Ray's 'A Collection of English Proverbs' (1678)

Part 22 – Indian Legal History – British Citizens and Company Courts in India -
Reality Views by sm –
Sunday, July 04, 2010
In beginning when Company established the judicial system in their Presidencies British citizens were exempt from the jurisdiction of the company courts.
As per Regulating act British citizens were only subject to the Supreme Court of Judicature at Calcutta.
But in 1793 Cornwallis started to reform this situation in Bengal.
Cornwallis was also a British Person.
Cornwallis Prohibited British citizens from residing beyond ten miles of Calcutta unless they executed a bond placing themselves under the jurisdiction of the mofussil diwani adalats in cases up to Rs.500.
Cases where amount was more than 500 Rs. were tried in the Supreme Court of Calcutta.
Madras and Bengal adopted this same law in 1802 through Regulation XVIII and Regulation III of 1799.
The section 107th of charter act of 1813 stated that British Citizens staying, trading and holding immoveable property at a distance of more than ten miles from the presidency town were subject to the company courts brought against them by the native people.
But British citizens got special right regarding appeal to the Majestys courts.
But that court also followed the same company rules.
Again in 1814 Lord Hastings reformed the civil law.
Munsiffs and sadar ameens were not allowed to take cognizance of cases in which a British or European or American citizen were involved.
Only district court got the authority to take cognizance, try cases against the British, European or American citizens.
Again law was changed.
Regulation IV of 1827 gave power to the Sadar Ameens to take cognizance of cases in which Europeans were party. This was the law up to 1831.
In 1831, Lord William Bentinck changed the law and munsiffs and sadar ameens were forbidden to try cases involving British or European or American citizens.
The charter act of 1833 gave British Citizens right to stay in India and purchase property in India.
Section 85 of the charter act of 1833 said that it is the duty, obligation on the government to protect Indians from insult and outrage in their persons, properties, religion and opinions.
Macaulay the first law member of the government of India [1833] was of the opinion that the judicial system should be uniform as far as possible and that no distinction ought to be made between one class of people and another.
In 1836 Legislative council of India passed the passed which took away the right of British people to file appeal in the Majestys court which they enjoyed as per the charter act of 1813.
In 1839 again law was passed act III declared that no person by reason of place of birth or descent be exempt from the jurisdiction of the revenue courts or munsiffs courts.
In 1843 English people were also brought under the munsiffs courts.
Munsiffs courts Indians were judges and in sadar ameens also Indians were judges.
Regarding criminal justice also same type of reforms kept happening but very slowly.

Sharad Pawar Becomes ICC President Do you think Sharad Pawar should resign from post of Agriculture, union minister in the Indian government?
Sharad Pawar Becomes ICC President Do you think Sharad Pawar should resign from post of Agriculture, union minister in the Indian government?
Reality Views by sm –
Thursday, July 01, 2010
Sharad Pawar becomes the ICC president for next 2 years.
The term of ICC president is for 2 years.
Sharad Pawar is seventy year old Indian politician.
Pawar is the second Indian to head the ICC after Jag Mohan Dalmiya, who was at the helm from 1997 to 2000. Pawar is the seventh ICC President, succeeding Englishman David Morgan who concluded his two year term.
From 2008 Sharad Pawar was working as a vice president of ICC.
Pawar becomes the president at a time when Indian subcontinent will organize the World Cup 2011.
Sharad Pawar served as the BCCI president between 2005 and 2008.
The question is now can Sharad Pawar do the justice to his both jobs that is
Job One - Union Minister, Minister for Agriculture
Job Two - President of ICC
Both jobs require full time attention, furthermore he is old and he does not have cricket knowledge. The quality he got is nothing but sweet talking which is used by Indian politicians. Do the sweet talking and forget about performance and frauds.
Working as an assistant is always different, leading is different.
We have witnessed how in India prices of food items are rising and government
Failed to stop the price rise.
Even warehouses for food items in India are used for storing of wine or something else and food items are kept outside warehouse.
In this type of corruption, fraud I have not read anyone was punished in India.
BCCI failed to stop the corruption or fraud or whatever you call it which happened in the IPL tournament matches in last season.
Do you think the job of Union Minister is part time or ICC job is part time?
No, both jobs are full time and need 24 hours of attention.
Why do we blame when cricketers do advertisements while playing cricket matches
If cricket players are not allowed to do part time extra job, why then head of the ICC or cricket board is allowed to do two full time jobs.
The time has come ICC should frame rules and regulations regarding the age, experience for the post of ICC president.
Everyone in India knows how much time he spends for the cause of his agriculture ministry in India.
Even one has to look his attendance at the ICC meetings in the past.
ICC meetings generally last two days. Two full days.
Now I am sure Sharad Pawar will bring ICC head office to Mumbai or Delhi so he can attend the ICC meetings. Once it was in London, now it is in Dubai and next step is Mumbai or Delhi.
In 2005 ICC head office was shifted to Dubai from London.
In 2011/2012 ICC head office shits to Mumbai forever.
Sharad Pawar is an intelligent person. He will do the justice to the ICC; ICC will not suffer any losses.
But what about Agriculture Ministry, in India politicians do not have any accountability regarding their role and duties.
Agriculture ministry will suffer and Indian population will suffer.
Now time has come Sharad Pawar should make his daughter a cabinet,union minister and he should resign from the post of Agriculture Minister for the love of India and for the love of cricket.
