Rahul Gandhi is providing more than required grist to the legal luminaries of our country and also to successive Governments at the Centre to study the innumerable civil and criminal laws of our colonial British rulers that we embraced and adopted with glee. It needed a Rahul Gandhi to show us how those laws of…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Last week we saw the terribly disturbing tragedy of a young lady techie, losing her life, when she got trapped in her cab, that became submerged in rainwater, at the K.R. Circle underpass in Bengaluru. This is not the first time that such a thing has happened, either in…
The good news after the Congress came to power in Karnataka is that N. Jayaram, a 2004-batch IAS Officer, has been appointed as the Secretary to Chief Minister Siddharamaiah. Jayaram has a very intimate connection with Mysuru for two reasons. One is, he was the Commissioner of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) from Dec. 10,…
Every time there is an oath-taking ceremony, MLAs do not follow the rules, which is to take the oath either in the name of God or the Constitution. Instead, they take the oath in the name of whomsoever they want. This time was no different, the MLAs began their stint as rule-makers by breaking the…

I allowed my thoughts to soar in the region of metaphysics yesterday morning as I was reading the editorial in the Deccan Herald titled “Religious freedom: Govt….
Karnataka 2023 Assembly elections Indira Gandhi had reacted, rather cryptically, to a journalist who asked her how she felt after her 1980 Parliamentary elections’ victory trouncing the Janata Party, saying, ‘the whole world loves the winner.’ Of course, she did not say that the loser is an orphan. After yesterday’s unprecedented victory of the Congress…
What an emphatic victory for Congress and what a lesson the Karnataka voters have taught the State BJP that was corrupt, arrogant, incompetent and ill-prepared. The scale of Congress’ victory in the Karnataka Assembly elections is a record of both seats and vote share in over 30 years. The party has won 135 seats with…
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD This article is not about what happened at the election that we have just had in our State and what its outcome was. It is also not about who should have won and who should have lost at the hustings this time. It’s too late for that, because, by…
