An apology

Well i guess i need to apologize for being too harsh on the Environment Minister in my last blog. The fact is he is under tremendous pressure by vested interests. He did spoke few months back on voluntary carbon cut, which this blogger thought was path breaking, but unfortunately had to retract. It is clear economic interest of few is a major influence on policy decisions. Mr Jairam Ramesh's job is increasingly getting tough, he is in an unenviable position. Do you are damned, don't do you damned still, but he is making his attempts despite tremendous pressure . I guess it is easy to pass judgment sitting in front of computer screen. My fault, i do go overboard sometimes.

Having said nothing explains his endorsement to report on glacier melting, i thought his views were mischievous and the timing also puts serious aspersion. Hopefully these are not repeated. And yes there is nothing admirable about Chanakya, this blogger thinks that he and Manu were instrumental in putting foundation to an understanding that justified crude social system and individual ethical laxity. Arthashastra and Manusmriti should been condemned to dustbin of history with its writers many centuries back.
