016 -200 Snippets of Text Expansion and Auto-Completion

Image
The following are 200 snippets prepared by me , while studying a judgement of Supreme Court of INdia, relating to denomination Indian Currency Notes, made in 2016 November. In 2023, the Supreme Court came out with a judgement, upholding the 2016 Demonetization , with 4:1 majority. Leaving aside the foremost issue of examining the circumstances which have led to sufferings of millions of people, the judgement seems to have ignored "people's sufferings" as if demonetisation was necessary to save the country. In Telugu language, my mother tongue, there is a proverb : "inTlO elukalu unnAyani, okaDu illu tagala peTTukunnADuta". Approximate English gist, to the best of my ability: A person, having come to know that there are rats in the house, so as to get rid of them, set his home on fire. Most rats escaped through holes in the house, and rat-holes in the ground. The fire spread over the entire village, razing down almost all the houses. Many petitions we

015, #015 How only Landed Caste Advocates get appointed as High Court Judges in Telugu States?

TODAY'S highlights: IS THERE RESERVATION FOR LANDED CASTES IN INDIAN JUDICIARY? Clarification: I am aged 70. I have no personal interest in writing this essay of analyses/review. I am not in a queue to be appointed as judge of any Court . In a way, I am writing these blog posts, even at the cost of incurring the wrath-s of Courts. Aged persons have already become 'disposables' in the context of Covid-19. Hence, going to jail by writing truths, may probably result in some personal hardships in jail; but then what is the use of living like a 'disposable oldman who has no right even to cough' ? Therefore , I appeal to every person who reads my blog posts, not to get hurt. I have no malice against any individual. Whatever I write, I write as an atheist and Marxist. It is not that atheists and Marxists can throw stones on others. Nobody can throw stones on others whether Atheists-Marxists or not. Besides, my blogs nobody reads. My blogs are to me, like ga

TODAY'S untrivia: THE TELUGU PROVERB 'KUNJARA YUDHAMBU DOMA KUTTUKA JOCCEN', approx. Engl. equivalent 'A herd of Elephants entered into the throat of a mosquito', seems to apply to Retd. Supreme Court CJI. Recommendation of 1st Law Commission, 14th Report, as explained by Late M.C. Setalvad, one of Constitution Drafters, 1st Attorney General , Chairman 1st Law Commission, 1st Chairman, Bar Council of India: '....The Commission had, after careful consideration expressed the unanimous view that the practice of Judges looking forward to or accepting employment under the Government after retirement was undesirable as it could affect the independence of the Judiciary. We therefore recommended that a constitutional bar should be imposed on Judges accepting office under the Union or State Governments similar to the bar in the case of the Auditor and Comptroller-General and members of Public Service Commissions. ...'

Today's (11th Feb. 2020) Deccanchronicle.com's Editorial is amazing and very much objective. Here is the link: Click here to go to :https://www.deccanchronicle.com/opinion/dc-comment/110220/release-former-cms-jk-dossiers-surreal.html . In particular, the following quote from the DC Editorial is very pertinent: "...The dossier on Mr Abdullah refers to “the capacity of the subject to influence people for any cause can be gauged from the fact that he was able to convince his electorate to come out and vote in huge numbers even during the peak of militancy and poll boycotts”. "...In any democratic system, such an individual should get high marks for acting against extremism and militancy and getting people to the ballot box through his words, but not under the stewardship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah. Indeed, the government has determined that Mr Abdullah is a victim of “radical methodology”. Being a vote-catcher can falsely lea
