CCI was deliberately made ineffective. All sectors now face similar threats like civil aviation.

Foreign competition in all important sectors has been deliberately driven out to benefit domestic business houses and now Indian market is effectively a supplier market rather than consumer market.

Will India too witness Bangladesh like situation ?

There's growing concern in India about the possibility of witnessing a Bangladesh-like situation, especially after the recent unrest and attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Protests have erupted in various Indian cities, including New Delhi, Kolkata, and Jammu, condemning the violence against minorities in Bangladesh.
The Indian government has summoned Bangladesh's envoy, expressing concerns over the safety of Hindus and other minorities. The situation is being closely monitored, with some politicians calling for stronger measures to protect Hindus in Bangladesh and prevent similar incidents in India.

“Bangladesh’s sinister agenda”

Having tasted power, Mohammad Yunus, the chief advisor, is getting his own people killed to sabotage holding free and fair elections in Bangladesh in Feb 2026. Absence of administrative experience makes him unfit to govern the country. His anti-Hindu and anti-India stance is a threat to Bangladeshi minorities particularly the Hindus. The mob lynching must stop.
The siliguri corridor (chicken’s neck) has suddenly grown extremely vulnerable. India should strengthen its defences in the region to thwart the nefarious designs of Pakistan and China on separating the north-eastern seven sisters from India.
Further, Sheikh Haseena sheltered in India, may be advised to refrain from issuing political statements from the Indian soil.

Better returns

Because IRS officers get better returns from the private sector, probably.

Why BHEL HR Director, Krishna Thakur is switching over to NMDC?
He is doing his best at BHEL now he will set right NMDC. This is always better to switch to other organisation if opportunity comes particularly at higher position. You will enjoy your previous contacts to do better in new organisation. You can enjoy benefits of both the organisation in terms of various activity personal or official. Overall this is good for the company. BHEL is a big organisation and will get suitable replacement for sri thakur soon.

Free to Join
It is very sad part that BHEL's employees below board level are forced not to apply in any PSU by not issuing NOC as required by other PSU. But, board level members free to join any other organisation. It is completely in appropriate action on part of employees.

Priyanka shouldn’t be taken lightly! Only she actually stands a chance of turning Congress around.

Disparity will be corrected

In spite of so many reforms in the civil services whether it is technical or non technical, a scenario as pointed out by you still exists. Hopefully this type of disparity will be corrected in the years to come.

Only Congress parivar's retirement can save Congress

Sonia Gandhi Rahul Gandhi Priyanka Gandhi has to retire from politics. Then only congress can survive.

Posting in CIC
It's good that he has made a decision for posting in CIC, whether his man or others, but it is his responsibility to make them work for the benefit of the common man so that the lost glory of CIC can be brought back. It's a shame that no representatives from DDA or RCS attend the hearings of the CIC and do not execute the CIC's orders. If this continues, then the CIC should be closed. Even corporations like ONGC are least bothered by RTIs and thus CIC.

Hard work finally bore fruit !

Hard work of BJP karyakartas and RSS in Trivandrum over decades finally bore fruit !

Thiruvananthapuram is becoming BJP's fort
No Shashi Tharoor himself knows that Thiruvananthapuram is becoming BJP's fort so he started shifting towards BJP to confirm his 2029 Lok Sabha seat from Thiruvananthapuram and can also become a central minister .

Sreelekha will work towards transformation of Tiruvananthapuram

Whispers Forum — 16 Dec 2025

The government has been delaying the appointment of these important positions just to find out who is to be rehabilitated, and in that process, the common man is a loser. The decision of my 4 RTIs, given by one IC, has not been implemented by RCS and DDA, and my 3 RTIs have been pending for a hearing for 3 years. If CIC does not try to improve the authority, it will become a Dead Letter as pointed out by former CJI.

Taking liberties with the text by NCERT

TOI 12th Dec 25 carried a story titled Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam finds its way into textbooks. The council seems to be hurt by its inclusion in text book. The write up based on an official statement is misleading. Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam has been narrowly interpreted to mean “welcoming and nurturing diverse communities”. Diverse communities are strange to Hindu India, when the scholars wrote the text in Upanishads and Sanhitas. Vashudha is planet Earth, a part of the Shrishti (Creation). This planet belongs to all species, elaborated in the texts and does not refer to communities. Communities are different from species. One illustration, indicative but not comprehensive, is Janmejaya’s Naagyagya, akin to modern nuclear war and climate change or pollution etc. Scholars must not allow such liberties go unchallenged in public interest and interest of humanity and this planet Earth.

Indigo’s human-caused crisis

The Indigo has taken the entire country for a ride and no concrete action is being taken against them. Nothing seems to be happening on the ground. A classic case of mis-management by a private airline causing widespread dissatisfaction to lakhs of citizens-largely Indian but also foreigners.India’s image has been badly hit.
The government has ordered 10% reduction of Indigo flights with the resultant business to be apportioned among other airlines.But,is that enough considering the degree of culpability of criminal negligence ?
Did the DGCA as the regulatory authority not know about the impending disaster,especially the demerits of building a monopoly situation by way of higher prices,reduced choice, inadequate services for passengers due to lack of competitive pressure?
Perhaps,this single “monopoly”factor made the airline so arrogant that they treated travellers as “customers or commodities ”,not passengers.Profit was their sole motive.Passengers have a sense of ownership.This is not acceptable to them.
Should the case not be covered under the Consumer Protection Act? Refund is being talked about.Why should Indigo not give compensation for causing widespread hardships to thousands of suffering passengers who are feeling cheated,misled and financially wronged.Let the compensation be 3 to 4 times the refund amount.
Also, most importantly,in order to remove monopoly/duopoly, why not introduce more private players for providing better services at competitive prices? What is the role of the competition commission of India in investigating abuse of dominance and protecting consumers’ interests.? It is a wake-up call.
