First, our greatest initial mistake was to start with adult franchise. No democracy has ever paid, all things considered, a heavier price for adult franchise than India. I am not aware of any great democracy which started as a republic on the basis of adult franchise; allof them started with a more restricted system and then graduated to adult franchise. Two of our greatest statesmen of the earlier years were C. Rajagopalachari and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. When the Constituent Assembly was in session, both those stalwarts recommended that we should not start with adult franchise but educate our people first to make them worthy of discharging their duties as citizens of a great democracy, but they were outvoted.
The second fatal mistake was to let the population nearly treble, in the absence of any sensible or sound family planning measures and policies. Today the problem has become so acute that whatever gains we achieve on the economic front are negatived by the unbridled population growth.
Thirdly, our most disastrous mistake was not to educate our burgeoning population and make them worthy of their right to vote. Value-based education has no political sex appeal. Our politicians gave the least importance to education, unlike Lee Kuan Yew who vowed to make education the priority of priorities in Singapore. To my mind, it is an unmitigated disgrace that in the Golden Jubilee year of India’s independence more than half of our population is literally illiterate. Official statistics give a more comforting figure, but that is only because according to the official measure of literacy, any person who can write or sign his name, is considered to be literate. Education can only be a long-term programme for the uplift of our nation. Professor Amartya Sen has bluntly said that India will be the only country in the world to enter the twenty-first century with half her population illiterate; and that successive State governments have demonstrated ‘incredible irresponsibility’ with regard to primary education.
This is the one area where the Central and State governments have totally failed the people over the five decades despite the injunction of Article 45 of the Constitution that the state shall endeavour to provide, within a period of ten years from the commencement of the Constitution, for free and compulsory education for all children until they complete the age of fourteen years.
The fourth major mistake of our Central and State governments was to completely insulate the people from our ancient culture and keep them totally ignorant of the priceless heritage which has never been equaled by any other country.
The fifth mistake, of which we have yet to face the consequences, was not to inculcate among our people a sense of national identity. Indians find themselves totally rudderless, with the nagging question which will not go away – Is India a collection of communities or is it a nation; or, is India a state without a nation? The greatest curse of India is casteism – the scourge which has spread across the country more dangerously than any plague ever did.
The sixth, and the most unforgivable omission of the politicians, has been to let the people think that they are entitled to freedom without a sense of duty and responsibility. By definition, Indians lack discipline and a sense of national dedication. The reason why some other countries, despite their huge population, are able to govern themselves admirably, is that they have a sense of order and discipline. Do we need the emergency to make us realize the paramount importance of discipline? Without such values, can we ever hope to transform India into a great nation?

not like the franchise that southampton has opened in delhi
Teaching at Jindal is of course more rewarding and better than NLUs unless you get a permanent appointment in NLUs/ Govt Univ.
Hope this helps.

Also the transfers effected today drew substantial but quiet cheer from faculty, admin and student communities. Whether the rinse will actually clean up the Root and Stem is yet to be seen. Hopefully it wasn't an eyewash.
Yes OVN must be given time. But are we obligated not to be vigilant and then suddenly get instigated into fallow action? Like this time and then self congratulate for evicting NKC out when the reality is that we have him and off ramp without any lasting consequences.
Disagree, hate etc the CM. But she knows Bengal. So does her party. Green will win again. That doesn't mean that Bengal progresses. But a saffron win also doesn't automatically mean Bengal lunges ahead.
What is the ideal time to start sending job applications to firms and companies?

Warna legal profession me to weeks, months and years are the one and the same.
I am a 2025 law graduate currently based in Delhi, seeking to join a litigation chamber led by a young and ambitious advocate with an established practice before the Delhi High Court, Supreme Court, and Tribunals (particularly NCLT/NCLAT).
I have around 10 months of litigation experience, having switched from the corporate side to litigation during my final year of law school. My earlier work exposure includes internships at AZB & Partners, Trilegal, Phoenix Legal, and Talwar Thakore & Associates, where I handled corporate and commercial assignments.
At this stage, I want to build a long-term career in original-side civil and commercial litigation and arbitration. I’m looking for a chamber or office where I can get maximum exposure, substantial responsibility, and consistent courtroom involvement.
I’m comfortable with research, drafting, and client-handling tasks, and I enjoy long hours and demanding work environments. My only goal right now is to be in a setup where I’m pushed to learn quickly, trusted with real work, and mentored with a sense of purpose and fairness.
If anyone knows of such offices or advocates, I’d be grateful for your suggestions or introductions.
