After RAW official B Raman, Asaduddin Owaisi and Salman Khan; Ex Supreme court judge Markandey Katju defending hanging of 12th March 1993 Bombay blast convict Yakub Memon. Here below is his opinion over Yakub Memon's hanging. Markandey Katju shared his opinion over his official account of Facebook, below is the post he posted today 26th July 2015. "My opinion :Yakub Memon has been convicted on very weak evidence. Begunahon ka lahu piyo, izn-e-aam hai I believe there has been gross travesty of justice in the case of Yakub Memon. I have carefully studied the judgment of the Court. The evidence on which he has been found guilty is very weak. This evidence is (1) retracted confession of the co-accused, and (2) alleged recoveries. As regards the first, everyone knows how 'confessions' are obtained by the police in our country--by torture. And torture is such a terrible thing that one will confess to anything under torture. Joan of Arc confessed to be a witch under t...

In my last article, my concern was, if Yakub Memon deserves to be hanged as we all Indian agrees to it, we also agree to some other's execution. I had suggested Babu Bajrangi's name, prime accused of Naroda Patiya Massacre, Swami Aseemanand's name, prime accused in Ajmer Sharif Blast, Malegaon blast, Mecca Masjid blast and Samjhauta Express bombings. Today Bollywood actor Salman Khan came out defending Yakub Memon's hanging and in turn urging parading and hanging of Tiger Memon, who actually was directly involved in execution of 12th March 1993 blast in Bombay. Salman Khan tweeted his stand on Yakub: been wanting to tweet Tis fr 3 days n was afraid to do so but it involves a man's n family. Don't hang brother hang tha lomdi who ran away — Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) July 25, 2015 Salman Khan also urged Pakistan's PM Nawaz Sharif to handover Tiger Memon who actually deserves the fate, Yakub Memon is designed to face.

An initiative by Ex Supreme Court Judge Markandey Katju to keep one day symbolic fast to bring communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims, during the month of Ramadan, in which Muslims keeps fast for the whole month of Ramadan. Here is what Markandey Katju had to say on his symbolic 'Roza' and 'Vrat' initiative. Why do I keep one-day Roza? 4.7.2015, Fremont, California It is 3.40 a.m. and I am about to do my Sehri ( breakfast during Ramzan ). Why do I, a confirmed atheist, keep one-day symbolic Roza during every Ramzan, and appeal to non-Muslims to do the same, while also appealing to non-Hindus to keep one day Navratri fast? My answer: It is one dose of the antidote to the communal poison which was injected into us since 1857. I have already mentioned that communalism was injected into us by the British since 1857. after the Great Mutiny. By 1857 communalism had almost entirely disappeared in India. Hindus and Muslims lived peacefully like brothers and helpe...

At 62 years of age, Swiss Solar Impulse 2 pilot Andre Borschberg has made aviation history with a record-breaking solo flight across the Pacific that he has called "an interior journey". After travelling more than 8,000km on the latest leg of the round-the-world trip, he arrived in Hawaii on Friday. His Pacific flight from Japan totalled 118 hours, almost five full days, smashing the previous record for the longest nonstop solo flight of 76 hours and 45 minutes set by US adventurer Steve Fossett in 2006. The Swiss pilot's arduous journey was by no means in the lap of luxury. It’s minus 20 degrees celsius, and you are at the height of Mount Everest. In 12 hours it will be plus 40 degrees and you will have repressurised to below 3,000m, only to repeat this cycle for five days! How do you survive? For the pilots of Solar Impulse, the lifesaving techniques can be found in the asanas and pranayamas of yoga. Working with Sanjeev Bhanot, a professional yoga trainer with ...

Rahul chawda, son of a farmer Ramesh Chawda from Chhattisgarh has designed a drone. Rahul says he got inspired to make a drone by watching the movie 3 Idiots. Rahul says he learned about the drone, watching YouTube and reading about it on the internet. He says his drone is a perfect example of 'Jugaad' technology, as much of his drone's spare parts consist of our daily use things. Rahul Chawda used some spare parts found in garbage dumps and some parts he had to import from Japan and USA which cost him around 2 lac.  Rahul uses his drone to spread the fertilizer in his 15 acres of land. Earlier it used to take a lot of time and some labourers to do the task, but using drone the work gets done within half an hour.  Farmer operating the drone Farmer Rahul Chawda with his drone Drone spreading fertilizer in the field
