[bitsremembers] The Histrionics of CJI

 

Friends

After over 8 years of writing on energy and environment I gave up in January through sheer frustration.  A very highly educated Friend of mine still keeps up the vigil through his writings. I am sharing his piece on the subject episode

The article was published yesterday. It is guaranteed to spoil your weekend,  when you have done your introspection.

The following paragraph was edited out by a hyper-active subbing staff : either very sensitive about our country's contempt laws, or more likely, a wannabe lawyer / babu : 

LAST BUT ONE PARAGRAPH (BEFORE TAGORE'S QUOTATION) : 

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Subedar Major (later Honorary Captain) Bana Singh, PVC, when he led his team to conquer the highest peak inSiachen in 1987, did so quietly, without fanfare. So did young Vikram Batra or Arun Khetarpal as they fought till glorious death. There was Ian Cardozo, a young Gorkha Major, who cut off his own leg after he stepped on a land mine in the 1971 war. He asked his Gorkha comrade to take it away and bury it. And finally, there is Khudi Ram Bose, not even 19, when he climbed the gallows in 1908 with a smile (after undergoing savage torture at the hands of his British captors). The nation's judiciary and their leader should surely emulate the examples  of  these  icons of selfless service to the nation.
