Sarkozy vs BURQA

French President Nicholas Sarkozy's description of Burqa as "a sign of subservience" has created a wave of shock around the world. Because a remark like this has come directly from the Statesman of one of the multicultural countries in the world. Earlier the French government had banned people from using religious symbol from government school and offices. This was targeted directly against the Muslims. But unfortunately many other religions like Judaism, Sikhism also has a culture of wearing scalp cap. Since the jews were involved the issue got serious and there were intense debates regarding this.

Before getting into the actual debate lets see why Sarkozy is so obsessed against Burqa. See the picture below you can clearly see Sarkozy intensions.

Since Burqa gives a modest look to the woman, Sarkozy can’t get involved in activities like this. He may not be able to see curves and bumps as he is seeing now (sorry for the language but I am forced to use these words). This is the main reason why Sarkozy wants to abolish Burqa. He doesn’t want to see woman in modest look. He said that the Burqa is a symbol of oppression against the women but the reality is it gives more confidence and makes woman more humble in the look. Many women who wear Burqa never complaint that they are oppressed but instead many take up hijab on their own and say that it is more comfortable for them. Many Muslims around the world have reacted strongly to this Sarkozy’s remark. In fact many women have come out strongly against this comment and have protested against this.

Is Alcohol Ban Justified?

There have been many deaths in Gujarat due to illegal liquor trafficking. This is because the Gujarat government has banned liquor sale in any form. This is actually a welcome step but there are many people who have got addicted to this ill fated habit. What the government has to do is to first introduce programmes about the problem faced due to drinking. Though there are many programmed in the government papers there is not much action is being taken in order to execute those words in the papers.
My opinion is that Modi government has done something good in this regard. Though his government is meant to be a more biased kind of government, this is one of the best steps taken for the betterment of the society. Modi has to take more stringent steps to punish the illegal trafficking of these liquor products. New rules should be formed and introduced in order to eliminate this liquor consumption.
But to hinder these kinds of good policies of the government there are some big shots who take this as an opportunity to introduce these ill practices into the society legally. Mr. Mallaya , owner of the Kingfisher, is taking a dig at the government and also trying to make the alcohol distribution legal. This must be strongly condemned by all section of the society irrespective of whether they like the Gujarat government or not. We must not encourage a society where alcohol is distributed freely. This must be dealt seriously and steps like alcohol banning should be supported with full heart.
Only strong steps like this can make our society a better one in the future where the elements of the society are free from alcohol consumption.

Blogging After A Long Time

After a long time I have decided to blog again. This time I m not going to do it for commercial purpose. I started blogging for making money but now I m not going concentrate on money since this is one of the most powerful media for expressing our thoughts and views on particular issues. After seeing many recent events around the globe where this blogging media created a great impact and invited many people to know about the happenings in those places. This is turning out to be the most sought way for expressing one’s views. So I have decided to voice out my opinions through this blogging and have decided to make most of this media. Though there are many ways to earn, there are only few ways to express our opinions without any interference and bias.
I have decided to raise issues that are bothering the common people and will use this forum in order to create awareness among people about the problems the modern world facing now.
