Imran Leads Pakistan- Who Should lead India in 2019? When I was young, Mr Imran Khan was a person young Indians loved to hate. Many a time, he snatched victory from the Indian cricket team when all believed that India would win the match easily. At the end of his cricketing career, many of the haters became admirers. The cancer hospital in Lahore, built by him in his mother’s memory, made most people envy and admire him. Mr Imran Khan, a Pathan by ethnicity and a Lahorian by domicile, is an Oxonian. He comes from a good family and all of his siblings are very accomplished. He does not hail from a land-owning feudal family. His family played no part in Pakistani politics. As a resident of London, he was always seen in “ Liberal Circles ” dated many accomplished women, married a lady of Jewish origin. Notwithstanding a divorce after about a decade, the couple has a reasonably healthy post-separation relationship. His life also included one acknowledged (after a contest) out-of-w

NATIONAL REGISTER OF CITIZENS- INDIAN CONSTITUTION’S PANDORA’S BOX – Settle them Indian/Pakistan Kashmir! I- PROLOGUE Nation states have existed for a very long time. Even though the nations did not prohibit their citizens to leave their country and settle in another, not many citizens did that. Similarly, many nations did not prohibit the entry of foreigners and in fact encouraged them to have properties, slaves and even families. The concept of passports and visas before entry are relatively modern, dating back to just 104 years. Hence, the first draft of the National Register of Citizens which apparently left out about 4.2 million residents of Assam has attracted a lot of attention. Most importantly, Ms. Mamata Banerjee had declared ‘ civil war ’ and ‘ bloodbath ’. Not surprisingly, some FIRs have been registered against her in Assam. II- ASSAM, EAST PAKISTAN IN 1960s TO 1980s a) The partition of India in 1947 on religious lines creating 2 countries and 3 geographical

SAVE THE ENDANGERED RIVER CAUVERY- UNRESOLVED ISSUES EVEN IN A PLENTIFUL YEAR 1. The brimming reservoirs in the Cauvery river basin have definitely made functioning in its first year lots easier for the Cauvery Management Board. Apparently, the water release quota fixed by the Tribunal for June has been fully released and the July quota is also likely to be released in full. But one cannot lose sight of the fact that this year also, the release of water was essentially because Karnataka was not able to hold on to the water. Instead of appreciating this reality, the farmers in Tamil Nadu are very happy and they are preparing themselves for a good cultivation season during 2018-19. 2. The following are the admitted facts and the legal position after many rounds of litigation: a. The average dependable water flow in the Cauvery basin at the Lower Coleroon dam is 740tmc. b. Of this Tamil Nadu should get 419tmc, Karnataka 270tmc, Kerala 30tmc and Union Territory of Puduc

THE CASE OF NIRMALA DEVI DETENTION- OFFICIAL VIGILANTE JUSTICE For those who have not been following the developments in Tamil Nadu, some brief admitted facts. Ms. Nirmala Devi is an assistant professor teaching Mathematics for undergraduate and postgraduate students in a Government aided college of Madurai district. There were WhatsApp and YouTube publications that indicated that while Ms. Nirmala Devi was talking to her students, she suggested to some of them that if they are willing to extend sexual favours to people in higher authority, they would have not only monetary incentives but also higher marks in their University examination. Further, it would be easier to have a good career in academics. Somewhere in the course of the conversation, the teacher mentions the name of the Tamil Nadu Governor and passes a comment to the effect that the Governor is no grandfather. In fact, these publications were in the public domain for more than a month before the Government took co
