Watch this video. It is ultimate warning for all... It's a matter of survival of the human species that would be on the verge of extinction if we don't mend our ways. Hats off to this gentleman for his devotion and commitment to the larger cause of successive generations. His message to politicians and law makers is loud and clear. Citizens' responsibility..."each one plant one" is fine. For the gullible and less informed, it could be a solution but for me the slogan is only a mirage...solution won't come from the deprived millions still living in abject poverty but those empowered by the society. They will have to act now. I would like to caution everybody against big talk and diversionary tactics that's become the norm. Unless those entrusted with the responsibility and job of enforcement, those who make policies and are supposed to implement them, all those who enjoy the protection of the Constitution and progressively expanding perks of office, if they abdicate their responsibility, what we have is recipe for disaster...When the cancer of corruption has spread all over and everyone is competing for material wealth...When "more and more" is the want of most, I shudder by the thought of all that we are now destined to live with....Who will save our country....I don't  see light at the end of the tunnel. My message to the politicians - mend your ways, Don't just do everything and anything to just to remain riveted to the seats of power. If they are blind to the cause of the larger society, they should at least worry about the world they would be leaving behind for their own children.🤔

  Lalit Shastri Lalit Shastri The demand for a caste-based census of the Hindu population in India has garnered significant attention and debate. This move by the Congress party and its allies has raised a crucial question: why restrict the caste census to Hindu communities alone? The intricate web of caste divisions extends beyond Hinduism, permeating other religions in the subcontinent as well. Therefore, it is imperative to contemplate a comprehensive caste census that encompasses all religious groups, including Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and also atheists. This article delves into the history and complexity of the caste system in South Asia more particularly in India, its presence in various religious communities, and why a holistic approach to the caste census is necessary. The Pervasive Caste System  To understand the need for an inclusive caste census, one must recognize that the caste system is deeply entrenched in the social fabric of the Asian sub-contin

India's Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and Section 45 of PMLA: A Critical Analysis

-
  Lalit Shastri   The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) stands as a law against financial malfeasance, yet its provisions, notably the definitions under Section 2 (u), Section 2 (y), Section 3 relating to Scheduled Offence like misuse of funds attracting Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Section 45 of PMLA , have stirred a maelstrom of debate regarding the delicate balance between justice and security.  Section 447, which even provides for a seven year jail term, can be imposed and prosecution proceedings initiated against someone who may not even be guilty merely on the subjective, biased or vindictive Inspection Report prepared by the Inspecting Officer of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.  The matter could be worst confounded if the proceedings under the Companies Act, 2013 are vitiated at the behest of vested interests to distort the findings and conclusion in the Inspection Report. Once a court takes cognizance of prosecution complaint under Secti

Lalit Shastri As a global society, we must strive for peaceful coexistence and embrace the spirit of inclusivity. Our shared future depends on our collective responsibility to protect the environment, preserve wildlife, and safeguard the delicate balance of our ecosystems, including our rivers and forests. It is time we shun violence, extremism, and division in all its forms, fostering unity over discord. We envision a socio-economic order where equity, transparency, and accountability reign, ensuring that skill and merit are valued over privilege, exploitation and denial of equal opportunity to all due to the quota or reservation system. Also, corruption has no place in a society where every individual is dedicated to the common good, working for the advancement of humanity and securing a brighter, more sustainable future for generations to come.  Together, we can build a world where compassion, justice with fairness, and progress guide our actions—creating a legacy that honors both t
