One other pt. on social justice: I would like Sh Raju to know that there
are many IAS officers (tribal) in Meghalaya (and elsewhere in the tribal
areas of India) who not only enjoy relatively large salaries (Rs. 25-35 K
per month) and jolly good perks, but also are EXEMPTED from the payment of
income tax under India's laws. This holds true of tribal businessmen also -
in tribal areas - without limit to income earned. Where do votaries of
social justice draw a line? I have found this phrase 'social justice' to be
the MOST dangerous ever invented, and should be strictly circumscribed. No
liberal should utter this phrase without a strict definition of the meaning
of this term.

Whoever else has justice in India, the honest, hard working, agnostic does
not. Hence, for the sake of my children who are not protected by any of our
legal covenants on 'social justice', and in protest against India's laws
and lawmakers, their terrible governance, economic policy and urban
planning, I am almost at the point of exhorting all who can to follow
Gandhi, but in the reverse, i.e., to "Quit India" and stay out of it until
its citizens provides the basic conditions of governance and equality of
opportunity for a decent life to all.

Anywhere where there is true justice, liberty, equality, and good sense,
will do, on this blue planet. India is just ONE of the many places in the
world to rear one's offspring. In the ultimate analysis, India is a mere
piece of land on Earth.
