The inanity of our ‘educated’ people By Justice Katju

Not once did Karan Thapar ask what is the evidence or proof that Pakistan was behind it, and not once does Shivshankar Menon go into this crucial question. Like the TV media which started blaming Pakistan within a short time after the incident, though there had been no investigation, the whole interview proceeds on the footing, and taking it for granted, that Pakistan was the culprit.

Who is responsible for the malady ?

There was a video discussion on Kapil Sibal’s show ‘Dil Se with Kapil Sibal’ on the recent judgment of the Indian Supreme Court in State of Tamilnadu vs Governor of Tamilnadu, regarding the role of Governors of Indian states

My response to Prof Faizan Mustafa By Justice Katju

In this article he has strongly come out in favour of freedom of speech, particularly in Universities. He quotes John Milton, and writes ” Within the portals of universities, all kinds of ideas, which includes repulsive ideas, must be allowed to be expressed. Freedom of expression helps us in attaining the truth ”.

Shame on Indian Express By Justice Katju

So my message to Indian Express journalists is this : keep it up, you are justifying your salt ( i.e. your huge salaries ), and doing a great job for your masters. Kareena Kapoor’s eating schedule is obviously more important to you than the plight of thehundreds of millions of hungry Indian women. Shaabaash !

The truth about Imran Khan By Justice Katju

Imran Khan entered Pakistani politics in 1996 creating a new political party, the PTI, saying he will introduce honesty in public life. But later he realised that he must make compromises if he wants to win elections. So in the 2018 parliamentary elections he gave numerous PTI tickets to dubious ‘electables’ i.e. corrupt businessmen like sugar barons and corrupt politicians.

The monster called caste By Justice Katju

The caste system is one of the greatest social curses of India, and is a huge stumbling block to our nation’s progress : https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2012/Dec/29/caste-system-will-block-nations-growth-katju-438062.html https://indicanews.com/justice-markandey-katju-caste-still-deeply-entrenched-in-indian-society […]

The reality of India

Many tall claims are made that India is a glorious country with a bright future, with the fastest growing economy in the world, the third largest economy, having overtaken Japan, bullet trains, space missions, digital India, blah blah blah.

Should ‘Sarfaroshi ki tamanna’ be the song of the coming Indian Revolution ? By Justice Katju

Should it be the song of the coming great historical Indian Revolution, which Revolution alone can abolish the great socio-economic evils prevalent in India today ( massive poverty, massive unemployment, appalling level of child malnutrition, skyrocketing prices of food and other essential commodities, almost total lack of proper healthcare and good education for the masses, etc), and give our people decent lives ?

One month since Pahalgam killings By Justice Katju

Similarly, their agent provocateurs would kill a pig, throw its carcass secretly at night in a mosque, and write on the mosque wall ” Jai Bajrang Bali ” or something like that. Next morning when Muslims got up and saw the carcass of the pig, and the writing on the wall, they would think all Hindus are devils.

The Song of the Stormy Petrel By Justice Katju

Such patriots require inspiration to do their heroic deeds, and such inspiration often comes from great literature, e.g. the works of Voltaire and Rousseau in France, the booklet ‘Commonsense’ by Thomas Paine in America, the novel ‘Mother’ by Maxim Gorky in Russia, and the poem ‘Hum Dekhenge’ by the Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

A much talking judge is like an ill tuned cymbal Justice Katju

I saw former CJI Chandrachud talking on and on in Court e.g. in the case relating to a lady doctor of RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, who was raped and murdered, asking questions like why there was delay in filing the FIR ( questions which should have really been asked by the investigating officer or the trial court ), etc
