Dear Rajpal ji, I have no problems with farmer's aspiring to earn more and have big profits. They work very hard and deserve much better. My only point in the above posts was to point out the discrepancy in the analysis. From what I know, people with one or two acres of land generally don't need...

Many people here have been taking my comments in a completely wrong way. I have several relatives/ acquaintances who are farmers. And I know that it is very difficult to sustain a family on income from agriculture if you don't have a big land. That is why I in fact looked at the details...

Dear Phool Kumar ji, There are various categories in which one can put a occupation/job. I was considering agriculture as an occupation where a person works and earns and that is why I was not counting the labour costs. This is similar to an employee of govt/private company who works in...

clarification: In my above post, I don't intend to to say that farmers are not facing problems. It's true that cost of agriculture has gone very high and profits are going down. I just wanted to point out what seemed like an error in the balance sheet.

In the balance sheet, in the cost sections, a labour cost has been added at several entries which are generally not there as people do those works themselves. Eg. In irrigation sections by tubewell and canal, the labour charges per year are put on about INR 12000 per acre which I think a...

I listened to the songs on the movie's facebook page. I was very disappointed. The language was more or less Hindi for most of the songs. Why shy away from making songs in Haryanavi for a Haryanavi movie. Chandrawal songs had nice Haryanavi lyrics.

I have never heard a voice as beautiful as Rajkishan Agwanpuria's in raagni's. I remember liking it even at the age of 4. There was a beautiful raagni in his voice from kissa Seth Tara Chand. The lyrics were: 200 रूपये, खाण का भोजन, धरया घाट पै आ कै, हरनंदी तनै लूट लिया मैं, के सुख पाया नहा कै...

A fourteen year old having such a relationship could be termed as a matter of concern/undesirable or stupid etc depending on ones views. Here one tends to put blame on her parents for not being vigilant enough etc but what if she was some orphan girl working as a daily wage labourer who had no...

If it had been a case of sex between the girl and the guy, one can say that the girl was also somewhat responsible for whatever happened. My point was that the guys were solely responsible for the 'gang rape'. They very well knew what they were doing was wrong.

How can people even discuss the possibility of the girl also being responsible in this case. She was only a 14 yr old kid. She probably couldn't have thought of something like gang rape even in her dreams. It shows the general mentality of always trying to find some mistake with the girl's...

There is a difference between encouraging something and trying to understand it. And I think I am trying to do the latter. But, if I see a live-in couple next door to me, all I'll do is wish that it turns out well for them and not hate/boycott them. All kinds of relationships need maturity and...

If such a relationship breaks down then in case of next relationship (marriage/live-in/love), things have to be thought of in a different context. For example, both of them can be thought of as having had a 'divorce'. Also, why should the future be bleaker only for the female and not for...

The two paragraphs in my above post were in different contexts. The second one was an opinion and nothing to do with this case. I don't even consider this case to be having any relevance to live in relationships. So the comment about social aspect does not apply to it. It is a random case of...

I am not sure of what you mean by "issi-issi" but if it is only inferred from above post of Upender ji's, then I would say that having '10-12 yaar' (which itself is a hypothesis ) and a 'tattoo' doesn't make her deserve a death sentence... I don't know what is the general perception here about...

Choosing a life partner is a very complex decision and lots of factors count. So one yes or no answer is not possible for such a question. For someone, whose family is open minded and he/she knows that the family will accept/ love their spouse irrespective of their castes, a intercaste love...

I would like to point out these particular sections of the above article: "But those who wish to opt out of gotra-based identities have to be allowed to do so, without fear of criminal forms of coercion. The Special Marriage Act exists precisely to legalise marriages of those who wish to opt...

Your customs are what you follow, theirs are what they believe in. You shouldn't take it as an attack on your customs. That is where the problem lies. People are taking it as attack on their beliefs. You can always keep following yours. Two different people are entitled to different belief.

Forcing a culture on people does not seem to be reasonable restriction to me. Any ways no one is forcing anyone to not follow their culture. To Rakesh: One doesn't need to import people to decide what is basic right. There are enough people here who can think logically.

I had suspected this question will arise.. True that there is restriction in HMA/SMA on marrying cousins etc. It was probably put in considering some scientific reasoning. One can of course say that it should not be there and it can be discussed separately. Existence of one restriction does not...

I raised this question earlier also. Is this amendment that people are asking such that it won't leave any way for two people of same gotra/ same village to marry (without changing name etc) ? If yes, then it won't matter that 80% people want this amendment and it can't happen as it is violation...
