The document discusses several issues related to corruption in India and proposes solutions. It argues that India needs an independent body like the FBI or KGB to investigate corruption cases impartially and punish the guilty without interference from politicians. It also suggests that the judiciary should be independent and not influenced by the government, and that administrators like IAS officers should not be under political control but take orders directly from the judiciary. This will help reduce corruption and improve governance and law enforcement in the country.Qaid e azam's speeches

The document discusses how Indian political leaders have failed to uphold the ideals of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of India's constitution. While paying lip service to Ambedkar and his fight against caste hierarchy, most leaders have done little to dismantle casteism.

Poverty, illiteracy and threats to security continue to plague the lives of many.

The city of Islamabad is beautiful but also ruthless, full of intrigue and deception. While the author loves the city, they also hate it for its cold-blooded politics. Since 1988, there has been constant political instability, with leaders overthrown by the military or exiled. The two most promising leaders for democracy, Benazir Bhutto and her husband, were both assassinated. The long struggle for an independent judiciary and rule of law prevailed when the Prime Minister announced judges would be reinstated after negotiations. This victory shows how democracy can succeed through reconciliation rather than confrontation.bal thakare

3. EPCA reviewed the methodology of Indian studies cited by MCD and found flaws.

This document describes the Cycle Feeder & Rental Scheme called GreenBIKE, which was introduced along Delhi's BRT corridor to promote cycling. GreenBIKE aims to integrate cycling with public transit by establishing bike rental stations near BRT stops. Five initial stations were set up and offer bike rentals for Rs. 10 per 4 hours. The goals are to encourage cycling for short trips, improve first/last mile connectivity to transit, and create a more sustainable transportation system. Early surveys found the typical user is male, aged 20-30, educated, and 50% own a vehicle but choose cycling due to faster trips. The program aims to expand cycling infrastructure and promote cycling culture in Delhi.Urban Transportation Market In India

Letter of Editor to Prime Minister
- 1. LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA" TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers, I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi , so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will. Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI, you and your finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything. If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything- Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, and Creamy Schedule caste; only what I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of divide and rule. Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and insignificant local polititian of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamping the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDAR OF INDIA 'S THREE DEFENSE FORCES. what moral you will expect from our defence forces? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for good person. Dear Mr. Prime minister, You are one of the most intelligent persons, a most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be political upheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of. Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?
