Indian Concept of Equality

Indian constitution guarantees to all its citizens equality in all respects, but in actual practice the story is quite different:

What we have is something like this

• All men are equal but Some are more equal than others
•   Different rules for different people

This once again came to light after the unfortunate fire break out at AMRI hospital in Kolkata. Six directors of the hospital face charges of culpable homicide and were refused bail. Officials have suggested that the hospital did not meet safety regulations. Incidentally no such action has ever been taken after major train accidents and plane crashes. No blemish has ever been put on the ministers or board members of the managements of concerned entities, an action of this kind is simply unimaginable.

For a moment we presume that we have been lax in our attitude towards such incidents and this new yardstick will be applicable to all future disasters . In this context let the government and the nuclear lobby carry on with nuclear energy security concept they have been advocating vehemently.
