The officer was doing his duty by highlighting a discrepancy in legally recognised documents which had two different names of the same individual. Why is he being taken to task Ms. Swaraj? @SushmaSwaraj Do you too endorse punishing a diligent officer?

It’s because of the business model of the current crop of seed companies that we’re losing our native plant varieties at an astonishing rate with many having gone extinct already. Native varieties are not just healthy, but also ecologically wholesome.

Only Hindu temples were brought under Govt control. RTE penalises only Hindu schools not those run by religious minorities. Manmohan Singh - Minorities have the first right on the resources of this country. But millions still believe in an India where religion doesn't matter.

No danger of that, Chetan. There are millions of Indians who believe in an India where your religion doesn't matter. Unfortunately they are not in power right now & can't dominate public discourse. But that's the real India.
