Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Second Class Citizens ?


Second   Class   Citizens   ?

If you live in any city other than Delhi , you are a second class citizen  !
At least , the Supreme Court of India seems to think so  !
What else can explain its deep concern for the health of Delhi-ites , while choosing to overlook the fact that Diesel Vehicle Pollution is equally damaging the lungs of the lesser beings, living in dozens of other cities ?
Or does SC think that pollution related situation in these other cities has yet not reached a level of alarm ?
Or that time is not yet " ripe " for it to concern itself with future of the children of people living in these other cities  ?
Is it possible that SC is waiting for some citizens of these lesser cities to file a PIL  ?
May be SC thinks its "Judicial Activism" does not legitimately extend beyond the NCR ?
I fondly believe ( even now ) that for the Common Man of this country , SC is the only real " Maa - Baap " which steps in whenever the Government Officers / MLAs / MPs , fail to take timely decisions to protect the health of its Citizens , everywhere
I still very much believe that SC has , time and again , proved that it is the Court of Last Resort
I hope SC has read in papers ,the figures of AQI ( Air Quality Index ) in other cities
In any case , I hope that , on its own , SC will take SUO MOTO cognizance of this blog and treat it as a PIL to enlarge its recent orders to cover the rest of India !
A WORD OF  CAUTION :
If Hon Judges of the Supreme Court were to read the rest of my blogs at ,
they may take SUO MOTO cognizance of many and keep aside PILs from Prashant Bhushan / Subramanian Swami  !
