Dear Sri Sandeep Guptaji, I beg to disagree with you. I am in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. I am yet to find a Stamp Vendor selling Non-Judicial Stamp Papers at par i.e. for the same value of the Stamp Paper. Unless you pay extra money, no Stamp Paper will be sold. I also disagree with Sri Maniramji that the Stamp Vendors are getting only nominal commission. They get a commission of 10% on the value of the Stamp Paper. Is it not sufficient for a job, sitting under a roof, selling like a hot cake only on cash and carry basis. They realise their money instantly with a commission of 10% and Stamp Papers are alwaysin demand. IAC should apply their mind on this how to arrest the corruption on selling Stamp Paper. Notary Publics demanding exhortant amounts for attestation also to be voiced in the Bar Council of India. Notary Publics are licensed by High Courts and Supreme Court. So, the Courts should fix the charges for attestation and any Notary Public demanding more than the authorised charges, their Notary Public Licenses should be withdrawn. The Notary Attestatiion Charges should be exhibited in the Courts in conspecuous places and also at Notary Public Offices. Will IAC take up this with the Bar Council of India and Registrar of Courts.

[IAC#RG] HC Judges - Most crucial is Transparent & Democratic Selection Process
Respected Shri Sunil Ahya has done excellent analysis of American & Indian
system of appointing and removing Supreme Court Judges –
http://sunilahya.livejournal.com/5605.html.
It is a must read for the apolitical concerned citizens.
The American system is an excellent one in weeding out the corrupt and the
pliable persons.
In the light of the above, what I say is it is the "*Transparent &
Democratic Selection Process*" that is of crucial importance and should be
followed for selection of HC Judges in India.
I repeat "Transparent & Democratic Selection Process" is of crucial
importance.
Who selects the High Court Judges would then be relatively of little
significance once the sanctity of the selection process is maintained and
it should be the critical job of We the People to ensure the sanctity of
process by being extra vigilant.
With kind regards,

[IAC#RG] WITH CORRUPTION RIDDEN ADMINISTRATION , BUDGET MEANS NOTHING
The fact is that there is no project of the government today where substantial amount of funds are not syphoned away by the politicians , government officials at various levels and business men ; all at the cost the aam admi for whom such projects and funds are supposed to be ultimately intended. In India , it has become a hopeless situation , with the Prime Minister of India not seem to be concerned about the level of corruption and nepotism in his administration. He conveniently keeps his eyes and mouth closed , while the fact is that he has all the powers to enforce probity in public life , if only he has the desire, will and administrative acumen.
This budget which the Prime Minister and Finance minister claim as one of thoughtful exercise , is a wasteful document as far as the common man is concerned, who now realises that anything positive can happen in the country only with the eradication of corruption. In such corrupt conditions, the budget is a proposal in vacuum, as the implementing machinery continues to remain dishonest.

Re: [IAC#RG] Vacancy of 300 HC Judges
The HC and SC are formed under the Constitution and they are Constitutional Authority, deriving their powers under the Constitution, so nothing can be changed until Constitution allows and permits the same.
It is sad, tragic and unfortunate but saying anything more will be considered defamatory as well as contempt of the Courts and Judiciary and other things..
so, it is better to comment only after they - Government and Judiciary - announces any action plan rather than advising them as the same will be unsolicited advice and will not be considered as necessary and required.

How well Mr MJ Akbar has retold the story of Netaji. Netaji was the icon of the fighting spirit of India . His INA movement & the Naval mutiny in Bombay caused the completion of the mission of Gandhiji as the British understood that India was not their cup of tea. So they purposely designed independence of divided India so that this country could not become strong. Had Netaji been heard there would not have been partition. So what stops our country from not remembering Netaji. . Let our children too know about Netaji.As long as Congress is there it may not be possible because Mr Nehru & Mrs Gandhi have tried their best to obliterate the effect of Netaji in our freedom struggle to highlight only Gandhiji's contribution. Let us all celebrate Netaji's birthday every year on the 23rd. Jan

Byline for 27 January 2013
Why was Bose diminished on Republic Day?
M.J. Akbar
We measure power through size. Check any political poster. The boss gets the biggest face. Others in the pecking order descend till the miniature at the end.
Why was Subhas Chandra Bose struggling among the also-rans in the Bengal Republic Day tableau? Swami Vivekananda, understandably, had pride of place. But it might have been better to keep Bose out of the jumble rather than literally reduce his stature. If Bengal forgets, how long will India remember the only Indian to head a government of united India?
Bose declared independence before the British gave it in 1947. His government in exile did not have Gandhi's sanction. It fought on the wrong side of the Second World War: but it was a proud and free government whose contribution to our freedom has been reduced by the domestic political forces he challenged.
Bose is an embarrassment to Congress because he challenged Gandhi, and was a powerful parallel icon to Nehru. Bose asked Indians to give him their blood, and he would give them freedom. Gandhi promised freedom without violence. Gandhi refused to join the British war effort in 1939; Bose went a step further, and led Indian troops on the side of the Germany-Italy-Japan axis. However, their horizon, freedom, was the same.
More than six decades later the argument might seem pedantic, and yet it is worth revisiting. Invaluable Indian blood and treasure helped Britain win the First World War. After victory, Britain reneged on its commitment to Indian self-rule within the empire without batting an eyelid. Instead of dominion status, Indians got vicious brutality at Jallianwala Bagh and the pernicious Rowlatt Act.
It is not generally known that Gandhi was not a pacifist: he served on British frontlines in the Boer and Zulu wars in South Africa, and was very eager to lead a medical unit to the killing fields of France in 1914, at the onset of the First World War. In 1918, Gandhi worked so hard as a recruiting agent for the British army, urging Gujaratis to prove they were not "effeminate" by picking up a gun, that he almost died of exhaustion. Farewell bhajans began to be sung before he recovered. Gandhi lost hope in Britain only when he felt betrayed.
Britain had as much to protect in 1945 as in 1918. London knew that its empire would unravel at the point where it had begun, in India, once India became independent. What pushed Britain towards the exit gate? Of course there was the irresistible momentum of Gandhi's nationwide struggle. But the British had faced this challenge before, in the non-cooperation movement 25 years before. The significant difference was the nationalist sentiment unleashed by Bose among Indians in uniform. Bose's Indian National Army [INA] showed them where their national loyalties should lie. Bose's war also inspired the young to surge beyond the confines of Congress.
Even Gandhi, who only had faint praise for Bose in a 1945 obituary ["Subhas Bose has died well. He was undoubtedly a patriot though misguided"], had to admit in an article published on 15 February 1946, "The hypnotism of the Indian National Army has cast its spell on us... [Netaji's] patriotism is second to none... He aimed high but failed. Who has not failed?... The lesson that Netaji and his army brings to us is one of self-sacrifice, unity irrespective of class and community, and discipline..." When the British put three INA officers — Shah Nawaz, a Muslim, Sahgal, a Hindu, and Dhillon, a Sikh — on trial for sedition, India exploded in wrath. Nehru said on 24 December 1945, "The INA trial has created a mass upheaval."
Bose broke the backbone of British rule when he destroyed trust between the British Raj and its armed forces. The eminently sensible Sir Claude Auchinleck, commander in chief, accepted that any extreme punishment for INA officers would make governance impossible, because Indians adored them as national heroes. This, he said, was the "general opinion held in India, not only by the public, but ... by quite a considerable part of the Indian Army as well".
Subhas Bose's contribution to the formation of a Republic of India was no less than that of the very greatest of our founding fathers. Bose proved in practice what an Indian secular state would be. At a time when the Muslim League was in ascendant, he had the love and trust of Muslims. He lived his dream of gender equality when he set up the Rani of Jhansi regiment, under the fiery and beautiful Lakshmi Swaminathan. When Bose told the Japanese he was setting up a women's-only force, they thought he was joking. I do not believe Bose could have fought alongside Hitler, who advised the British to shoot Gandhi dead, and resented the Japanese advance because he thought Asia was being lost to white Europeans. Hitler was an undisguised racist, as were all Nazis.
Perhaps India can survive without Bose. But such amnesia will only diminish India.
