ritwik Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Please ponder over the following: If one were to choose the most serious amongst the countless ills plaguing the country, one cannot look further than the almost complete collapse of the rule of law. In fact, most of India’s problems can be traced to this malady. Democracy itself is threatened by our systemic tendency to twist the law to suit the accused. Each one of the three – Katara, Lall and Mattoo – dared to fight against powerful elements who are still deeply entrenched in the system. They did not flinch in the face of disappointment, sensationalism and at times, sheer coercion. ---------------- If you believe that Nilam Katara, CL Mattoo and Sabrina Lall should be honoured with the padma awards please sign the petition at: www.petitiononline.com/padma if you believe in the cause please share this with your friends via email, facebook, twitter and on other message boards. Another way of promotion would be by sharing on sites like Digg, Reddit and Delcious.
beetle Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I agree they deserve recognition but padma awards havebecome such a sham that i wonder if it is worth it.
