Indian Laws and their existence

Humanity in civilized society doesn’t tolerate crime endangering his life. In civilized society there will be more matured behavior by maximum people around 80 to 90%. Matured behavior is understandable by itself where there will be no crimes and there will be justice fairly for all.

Actually Indian society is not a civilized society at all. It is first of all a shame that we call our society as civilized. I don’t have to justify that we are living in a uncivilized society. The crimes without any reasons, murders and the way they happen in India are enough to say that the society is not fit to be called as civilized one. It was even more pathetic situation during post independence. But still law makers thought that they were framing the laws for civilized society when they framed Indian constitution.


When the laws are made to take care of any subject, it is made to prevent the activities that are considered to be illegal for that subject and to catch the guilty performing that mistake. The laws are made to catch the guilty and to punish the guilty thereby the victim gets mental satisfaction that the guilty suffers the loss for committing the mistake. Other side of view is that the laws are made so that due to punishment to the guilty, it spreads the word to others that guilty is punished. Punishments are defined by law makers or by a team of law makers based on the relevant studies. The laws in India define punishments for each crime by considering that the Indian society is civilized society. This was the biggest mistake the law makers have done while framing the laws in Indian constitution.
I surprise how the law makers had considered a rape on woman carries a punishment that is deemed as not a rigorous punishment as understood by a normal person. It creates the question in our mind that how ‘rape’ had been considered by so called great law makers in our country. How they had thought that rapes, barbaric murders etc don’t carry a capital punishments.

When people are greedy, opportunities are centered to few communities, there is a injustice to large sections of people. Open threats to other people, heinous crimes, child rapes and unquestioned criminals are not the signs of civilized society.

Laws without punishments have no existence. Laws are required to have stringent punishments for crimes to bring the society to a normal state. After the existence of such laws it takes years to come to a civilized state.

Indian Constitution and Law on Rape

Big Question  -  Do we need the constitution that fails to provide a proper law to punish the rape guilty?


The helplessness of Indian constitution and the rules, regulations to provide the quick justice shows that it is a age old script written by those people who had no respect for women and it now requires a change totally. If the law doesn't have sufficient clear clauses that catch the rape criminal, it reflects that how lightly the rape crime had been considered while the laws for rape were framed. The way the laws getting amended time to time after the women suffer crimes shows that men are not ready to bring proper laws in advance. Double standards nature is the weakness of  human race, in this case of men, that prevents them from doing so. India has goddess Durga , Parvathi etc on one side and has no rules to protect women on other side. 



It is the shame on humanity because the incident like raping by men and torturing her in unimagined way that happened in Delhi is not witnessed in any class of animals. If animals can speak they would have questioned us "why cannot you punish them and who made this law?".





Why do we need such constitution that has dubious laws that are difficult to implement and enforce. If it is difficult to implement and enforce it needs to be changed. Do not stick to the laws written 60 years back. It is of no use now. Change it so that it stays good for next 50 years.

Until the age old politicians stay in parliament no improvements are possible. The law that has no lines to cover the safety of women in India is not fit to exist. These politicians do everything only for power. They have no actual interest in bringing the reforms. They spend entire time in protecting their party in power. They eat our money and create bigger gaps between poor and rich. This economic imbalance will give birth to different crimes in society.

Anna Hazare tried to bring some good change in India. Nothing happened. Politicians succeeded in keeping the whole agitation mum.

 
Law of the land provides rules to ensure the safety of citizens. Safety needs to be ensured first for women. This is absolutely necessary because women are considered weaker in physical strength compared to men.
So Law must protect them first. But it is evident that women are given second priority to men. Not only that, Govt is hesitating to make the laws tighter so that crimes on women are reduced. The arguments are that the laws can be misused. It is true that every law can be misused. It doesn't mean that we should not create the law at all. 

Democracy has its own strengths. Understanding it and providing better laws requires sincere efforts from the law making community.  Only the "self will" is required to do that. 

Suggestion to law makers- It doesn't sound good to think of such laws until your wife or daughter is raped by men.....!

What we sell in IT industries?

Every employee talks about the products they work on and the products they sell in their industry. They understand that the products they develop are marketed outside with some brand name. Thus they know that they sell the products by brand names and develop a sense that they sell those products indirectly. This understanding of contribution to the products, in employees, creates a sense of service offered to their company. It makes an employee to feel proud about their contributions to the products.

But this understanding still fails to create the sense of competition that makes the product best marketable. The sense of competition drives employees to contribute differently. It is the need of the hour in product development companies.

How to create the sense of competition?

Consider a vegetable seller who sells vegetables on a pushing cart. He has certain abilities that make him a successful vegetable seller. He has ability to stand in the outside hot sun rays, to stand in cold weather, to stay in dust environment and the ability to push the vehicle for whole day. These capacities make him to sell vegetables. He utilizes these capacities maximum to make a better profit in his business. More he utilizes each of these abilities more profit he makes. Without these capacities he is nothing. He has the awareness of his own strength physical and mental strengths. Accordingly he chooses the vegetables and the streets to sell. More he is clear about his abilities and strengths more he is successful in his business. Can we say that he sells his abilities not the vegetables?

Each moment employees spend on developing the products are valuable. The time spent on the product development is fully useful when the results are achieved with high quality.

What actually we sell?

In IT industry we don’t sell products but sell our intellectual abilities.

We sell our ability to frame possible use case or a functionality in code, ability to handle the boundary values and ability to create unimagined test case. If an employee understands that he actually sells his abilities in the market, and develops that sense in him then the products created would be of the best quality.

Beyond the light spectrum

Our eyes can see the objects, because there is a light. If there is no light, ours eyes cannot produce the image of an object that the brain can recognize. All the devices that perform the functions similar to eyes, like cameras, are also based on the concept of light. The cameras also cannot detect the objects when there is no light.

So, what we are seeing, is actually the ray of light reflected from the objects. As the orientations of these reflected rays form different shapes, our brain can recognize the object’s shapes. When the reflected rays are of different frequency the object’s colors are sensed as different. Our brain is trained to sense the rays of different frequency with the different colors. It identifies them as different colors.

Infrared rays based cameras can detect the objects without the presence light. They can identify the object shapes in darkness. But we can see those objects when we brighten the identified objects with the light source.

Now let us have a look at the electro magnetic spectrum. This spectrum has various bands of waves identified with the range of frequencies (inversely wavelengths). The light band is one of these that we are living in. We can say that, we are the creature, living in light band spectrum. Nothing is visible to us in the other bands of the electro magnetic spectrum. We are using rays of other bands like x-rays, Microwaves, radio waves, infrared rays etc for various purposes. We have studied the effects of these rays passing through different objects. We know x-rays can pass through the objects; microwave can heat the water molecules etc. But we are unable to see what is there in this spectrum with our eyes.

Having said this, we can come to a conclusion that our eyes cannot see beyond the light band spectra. So now the question arises is that, there a life in these other bands like in light band? How to sense the objects that are pertaining to these spectra? Whether this universe looks different in different bands of electro magnetic spectrum?

Yes. This universe appears different in different bands of spectrum. Hence there may be life in other bands not visible to us. This can be stated hypothetically.

Everything is fair in love and war

“Everything is fair in love and war” a mistaken ideology.

It is not good that what happened to Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on 27th December 2007. But who can prevent the spreading terrorism? Pakistan which has failed to stop growing terrorism in the country has itself become a victim of terrorism. What is happening in Pakistan is the result of supporting terrorism. In spite of India’s advice Pakistan supported terrorists. If it had joined the international communities for curbing terrorism at least the situation would have been under control in Pakistan. But now the condition in Pakistan is worst. There is no democracy at all. Finally the helpless people of Pakistan will be in trouble.

The incidents happening around the world due to terrorism clearly show that they have made their creator as victims. History is the asset that we can look back into and learn a lot. It explains actions and reactions for those actions with proofs. If we put ourselves 1000 years back on the time axis and observe the events in those 1000 years time span we become expert astrologers. Why man does not learn from history?

It is certain that who supports evil will ultimately get destroyed himself. This is the universal law and the world works as per this law. Any sort of activity with violence is an evil. Whatever the aim it claims it is bad. But who tells this to Jehadis. If any body says that “Everything is all right in love and war” it is definitely due to his insanity. Some one has said this in past. People stick to some old ideologies without analyzing them again. Any thing which holds good in a given point of time may not necessarily be right. It can be wrong. Can we tell now what happened to Benzir Bhutto is all right because it is a part of terrorist’s war? We cannot say so. But we can definately say that Evil eats its creator eventually.

Everyone in the world is special and unique so let others know yourself

Blogging in India is very new. Though many people use internet, its usage is limited to browsing the information, email communication and for online business transactions mainly. Yet Internet has not become a place to express their views, share their knowledge and experience to others due to the infrastructure limitations and the operating costs.

Until recently, there was not much use of Internet in India for communication and browsing except for online transactions. Internet appeared in some reputed technical institutions and research centers in the beginning. Through software industries Internet usage immediately increased in India. Due to browsing centers, about 80% of the current youth generation in India has email addresses. Irrespective of the educational background technical or non technical, everyone has an email address like the phone or mobile number.

Also, blogging requires the writing skills and interest to share the own views and experience to others. It requires focusing on a particular subject, issues and events. Blog needs to be constantly updated with new contents over time. It needs to be original though, not necessarily an invention. It is a mean for the blogger to share his experience and knowledge that he has acquired. Everyone in the world is special and he or she would have a unique experience. He needs to pass it to others by some means. Blogging is one of the faster and effective methods to do that. It is similar to writing small stories and sayings in the form of books in past. All principles and writing ethics remain same, except that the media of sharing is different. This electronic media presents the writings to any one, in any corner of the world when he searches for the particular knowledge on the internet, thanks to the intelligent search engines.

With the advent in online advertisement blogging lures many writers to earn money. Many bloggers start with the intention of earning money. Few will succeed by enriching their site with valuable content. But many bloggers will not understand how to focus on a particular subject and area so that the readers get benefit. These bloggers get discouraged soon and will end up writing. Unless the blogger thinks from the reader’s benefit point of view their blog will not become popular.

India will produce more bloggers in future due to the population and the diversity it has. Every developing nation needs it for spreading the good thoughts and to bring reforms. There is a positive growth in the number of good bloggers these days from India. But one thing is true that because of internet entire world is one village and entire writer group is one entity called as 'bloggers group'. There is no distinction of state, nation and continent to share the knowledge and experience in spite of blogs in various languages.

This is a revolution in journalism where instead of journalist writing in news papers and magazines to bring awareness in the public, the bloggers write in blogs and share their views.

Live and Let Live

All people do have equal opportunity to earn in the current economical scenario. But only few can earn. Because only those few use the opportunity as all people can never own the opportunities at a time. Only few can have it at a time and then others get it. Also ability to earn money for a given opportunity differs from person to person based on his personal ability and opportunities. It is also based on many factors like his physical and mental conditions, location where he stays and job opportunities and so on. All people can never be rich simultaneously. It is highly impossible. So there will be always some people who cannot earn money for one or more reasons. But those people need to live like others at least with self dignity.

So the means for them to live is make them to earn. For that money is required. Money should flow to such sections in a controlled way to uplift them. There are many ways to improve them like rendering services, giving motivations etc. Donation is one of the ways which helps those people to live.

So please donate as much as you can. Live and Let the others live happily.

In Democracy - ‘Duty to vote’ instead of ‘Right to vote’

The meaning of democracy is that the ruling govt. reflects the choice of the citizens in terms of their needs, aspirations and it thus represents the people of the country. But see the scenario in India. Every state looks like a Kingdome. Each state has some rulers who, from past been ruling the states as CMs and try to retain the power by hook or crook. If father retires from politics he makes the way to his or her kith and kin to rule the state. This is true at the center also as we see that the PM seat is inherited to family members many times. CM is always chosen based on family. PM is chosen based on family or made like rubber stamp of ruling parties. No one is representing the people here.

How and why this happens? People who do not believe in democracy will do this. How they are able to do this? Because, few people select them instead of all people. This is like few people selecting the government and remaining majority people pointing the government as a bad government.

If the citizens of India ‘think and vote’, this will never happen. But why they ‘think only’ but ‘not vote’? What is the problem with Indians when it comes to exercise their power of voting? Many people in the world do not have this power to choose their government but Indians have it. To be surprised educated are reluctant to vote than uneducated people. Minorities vote than majority communities. Is it like only the weaker sections resort to democracy? It looks like it is happening. If these are the problems in voting itself then why the democracy is required?

What steps can be taken by the government.

1. Make election ID cards mandatory for all. Those having the ID card can only vote.
2. It should be a ‘duty to vote’ instead of ‘right to vote’. Voting has to be made compulsory in the constitution.
3. If there are Successive 3 violations the candidate should not be allowed for voting for his whole life time. So he looses the rights to be a people representative also in his future.
For better results good people should vote. If all people vote certainly there will be better results.

There are so many intellectuals in our country. But fools are ruling us. Few intellectuals in ruling party will be like rubber stamps unfortunately. The reason is intellectuals talk about ideal situations and that ideal situation never comes. Because of this reason people never support intellectuals but they support politicians. Politicians know how to solve the dispute. Unfortunately, Politicians do not have service motivation like intellectuals. So whom to choose as our representative? Better if intellectuals make election campaign instead of some film hero and heroines. They can assist the people to choose right and good candidates.

Distributed Password Security

Passwords are very important to protect access to a secured entity. The entity may be any system, device, file or any piece of information. Passwords are often personal codes set by individual. Everyone uses his own way to set the password by adhering to certain standards defined.

As for as the security is concerned the entire security is with that person who owns the password. This is a one person to one password security scenario for the entire given system. The drawback here is that the entire security is with that person. Due to this one person owning the security there will be problems like

1. Risk of misusing the secured entity by the person holding the password.
2. Stealing of the password by other.
3. Threat to the password holder to disclose the password.

Whatever may be the length and strength of the password chosen the above problems still remain.

What if this password security is distributed to multiple people as a team? Definitely the security can never be misused. This password can never be stolen by anybody. Also the chances of misusing the password or the risk of entire team getting threatened will never arise.

Distributed password scenario

In this case the team of n members hold the entire password so that the security is distributed to the team. Here ‘n’ sub strings S1, S2…Sn, form the password string ‘S’. It is the concatenation S1+S2+S3+…+Sn, which forms the whole password. Each member of this team holds the sub string, Si. He treats that as his own password with its own length. The login process will be successful if, all team members enter their strings S1 to Sn, correctly in order.

There is no separate implementation required for the login process to authenticate the entry except that all members should be present while login. The entire team will be the authorized users group and will be required while login.

When the entire team logs in the actual user needs to be identified. With the whole team entering the password there should be a way for the system to determine who is going to access the system and uses the system further. Any one can use the system. So the next level can be another login screen where any one member ‘Mi’ from that team can enter inside with his sub string password Si. This solves the problem of identifying the actual person going to work on that system. To change the main distributed password again the entire team is required.

This is the better approach than the multiple level logins or multiple levels of securities. It fits for the areas like military, finance and various highly secured systems, where the security is under threat.
