When extended families became nuclear families, due to less tolerance towards their near and dear, lack of respect and rising ego, the partition started right then and there

when one sibling getting into another siblings room is so territorial, did we not sow the root for boundaries.

Belive that this drop of water that we put in our homes create the ripple effect either in a negative or positive way to shape our futures

Think one problem is we spend too much time looking into our past to point fingers and dont learn from our mistakes and making the necessry changes marching forward

just my 2 cents

@rth, @4teen, loved your point of views

It depends on ones upbringing and adhering to the rituals and customs, which make us respect elders and live/work within a framwork of decent society. Lack of respect and rising ego,both are age old problems and we live with them.

In India, within the middle calss families, we still have the joint family systems. Having said this, with affluent classes, where both parents are working and children learn to grow up individually and alone, the lack of intolerance creeps in. With children of even middle class getting good education and early jobs, sense of freedom and independence grows on them, leading them to brach out of the joint family, owing to various factors.

I take this as a boon coz I see a vast self-dependant, carefree, confident and free-thinking individuals emerging out in a new society, rubbing soulders with a different class of people in society. It is this section of masses, which need to understand and take the responsibility of changing the shape n face of India, in future.

One has to advance without losing the touch with past. That's why an IAS aspirant needs to know all about India, its history and geography.

Sops given to exports by GoI....which showed a slackness due to persisting recession in Europe and USA. Yet, India is doing good in exports....thanks to the incentives given to manufacturing industry.

Free distribution of foodgrains an order, not a suggestion: SC raps Pawar

Taking exception to Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar's statement, the Supreme Court on Tuesday asserted that it had ordered free distribution of foodgrains to the poor instead of allowing them to rot in godowns and it was not a suggestion as made out by him.

"It was not a suggestion. It is there in our order. You tell the minister," the court told the government counsel.

A bench of Justices Dalveer Bhandari and Dipak Verma referring to newspaper reports that the Union Minister had claimed there was no such order, clarified that it did pass such an order.

Pawar had said, "The Supreme Court's suggestion (for free grain) is not possible to implement."

The apex court in an order directed the Union government to conduct a fresh survey of the Below Poverty Line/Above the Poverty Line/Antyodaya Anna Yojana beneficiaries on the basis of the figures available for 2010 and said the authorities cannot rely on a decade-old data to extend the benefits.

The bench further said that the government must take urgent steps to prevent further rotting of food grains while maintaining that it must procure only that much quantity which it can preserve.

The bench reiterated its earlier order that persons above poverty line shall not be entitled to subsidised foodgrains but if the government was determined to extend the benefit, the same shall be given to those families whose annual income is below Rs 300,000.

The Supreme Court had on August 12 asked the Centre to consider free distribution of food grains to the hungry poor of the country instead of allowing it to rot in Food Corporation of India godowns.

The bench had passed the direction while dealing with a PIL filed by civil rights group PUCL on rampant corruption in public distribution system besides rotting of food grains in FCI godowns.

Earlier, the apex court had asked the government to consider the suggestions for disbanding PDS supply to APL families and restrict the benefit only to BPL families and Antodya Anna Yojana Scheme beneficiaries.

However, the Centre, in an affidavit, had said it was extending the public distribution system supply to APL families only after meeting the requirements of the BPL/AAY beneficiaries.

It had also mentioned in the affidavit that a task force headed by Director General, National Informatics Centre, was set up on August 9 comprising representatives of Department of Information Technology, Unique Identification Authority of India, Department of Food and Public Distribution, Food Corporation of India and Food Secretaries of selected states/Union Territories as members.

The Task Force is entrusted with the responsibility of working out the modalities for integration of the existing projects and also to suggest how UIDAI will be eventually leveraged.

Ok the way I understand legal system
People elect MP/MLA's and empower them to make a policy and then a legislation on behalf of the people
Courts decide whether the legislation is applicable under the constitution if it is valid it goes forward. If anyone breaking the legislation is found, Court punishes them

What you see in the above article is that Court is making the policy for the government😉

^^ What legislation here?? What bill being passed by Supreme Court?? A court does not involve in any passing of bill. They are already burdened with tons of pending cases.

Why wud a court interfere in passing a bill?? What is Govt. there for?? What are MPs doing there? and What is Sharad Pawar doing there??

Supreme Court has merely passed an order against a PIL filed by civil rights wing of PUCL against corruption in public distribution system and rotting of food grains in FCI godowns.

Sharad goes on to say that it is a 'suggestion' to which SC again made Sharad see the difference between 'suggestion' and 'order'.
