Shocking & unacceptable in a secular country like India!


The Army has admitted in the Supreme Court that recruitment to President's Bodyguard (PBG) is open only to Hindu Rajputs, Hindu Jats and Jat sikhs. (Source: http://zeenews.india.com/news/delhi/pbg-only-for-rajput-jat-sikhs-for-functional-requirement_880744.html)



The plea that "the ceremonial duties demand common height, built, appearance and dress for reason of pomp and projection which are important military attributes while performing such duties" does not, by any stretch of imagination mean that persons belonging to specified religions only should be eligible.

This is shocking and unacceptable in a secular country like India.

Pappa, Pappu & Qaidi No. 624


Pappu: Who is Qaidi No.624 in the Sada sub jail in Vasco, Goa?

Pappa: How the hell would I know?

Pappu: Elementary my dear Pappa- Tarun Tejpal!
