The Government of India has told the Danish Prime Minister that it is not the optimal time to visit India due to cartoon controversy.

Bush visit
President George Bush visited India and nuclear deal was signed. There were protests against the visit. Our government had invited him. It was not proper to protest. Bush has nothing to do with Danish cartoons. Protests in that regard were targeted wrongly. Whether the nuclear deal is good for India is debatable. It needs to…
Thoughts on 26/2/2006
Railway budget was good as there was no increase in fairs. There is outrage at acquittal of criminals in Jessica Lall murder case. TV channels should not call the lawyers of the accused. Boycott of criminals and associates will send a strong signal to them. Re-investigation and re-trial are necessary. A brave constable was enough…
Thoughts on 19/2/2006
UP Minister for Minority Welfare Yaqoob Qureshi should be arrested and prosecuted for announcing Rs.51 crore award for beheading of Danish editor. Giving a contract for a murder is a crime. The Governor should dismiss him immediately. Otherwise President should intervene. The first session of a year of Lok Sabha has to be addressed by…
Letter to Shailaja Bajpai
This is in reference to your column on 6/2/2006. FTV is telecast from Hong Kong. 9.30 p.m. IST is midnight at Hong Kong. I expected you to know that. Midnight hot is a good programme. I watch it. It is good that it appears it at 9.30 p.m. It is a visual delight to watch…
Cartoon Controversy
Cartoons are meant to convey a message in a funny way, which may not be pleasing to some. Cartoon depicting Mohammed as terrorist caused widespread anger among Muslims. Muslims had a right to protest and boycott products. Setting fire to embassies and consulates and calling for murder of persons is unacceptable. Saudi Arabia, Libya and…
Adult Films
When Star Movies began it showed adult movies at any time without any cuts, computer graphic coverage, darkening or alteration. At one time ZeeMGM used to show adult movies mostly without any cuts, computer graphic coverage, darkening or alteration especially at 11.00 p.m. on Saturday nights. I want to see adult movies without any cuts,…

There shall be uniformity in tax rates. Income tax exemption limit is Rs.1,00,000/- except for women which is Rs.1,25,000/- and senior citizens Rs.1,50,000/-. The exemption limit…
National Awards
Bharat Ratna, Padma Vibhushana, Padma Bhushana and Padma Shree are national awards conferred by the Government of India. They are not titles. The Constitution of India forbids conferring of titles by the Government of India. They are not meant to be added before names. They are announced at the time of Republic Day. Sometimes Bharat…
