By Promod Puri “Canada is the best country in the world.” Alongside Vancouver prides itself with 1st, 2nd, or 3rd standing as the “most liveable place.” But underneath all these rewarding certifications, there are visible sites that take away some appeal from Vancouver’s alluring image. The fast-developing metro, with its massive and lavish highrises, is also the home of homeless people. They mostly dwell under the very shadow of its thriving and affluent downtown core. According to the latest figures, over 2200 people have been counted who don’t have shelter to live and sleep. The situation is more pathetic and … Continue reading Besides Vancouver’s Alluring Image It’s Also A City of Homelessness

I’ve heard, you’ve heard: “Humans beings are the most Intelligent and favorite Creation of God.” Birds, cats, dogs, donkeys….. Probably think equal as well. Trees, plants, and flowers Likely hold the same pride too. Who knows! He Knows May be maybe not. Who knows! -by Promod Puri   Continue reading WHO KNOWS!

By Promod Puri Hats off to the Republic of The Gambia, one of the world’s smallest countries in West Africa, who launched proceedings against Myanmar before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for the latter’s crimes and genocide of its Muslim population. Most influential nations in the world who champion the cause of human rights, including Canada, have never thought of going to the ICJ to seek justice for the Myanmar Muslims. The Gambia government must be applauded for this initiative. The Gambia brought the case against the Myanmar government led by Noble Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. … Continue reading Kudos to Gambia Seeking Justice For Myanmar Muslims

The four suspects in the Hyderabad rape case have been killed by the police. Most people, including the parents of the victim, applaud the police action. Justice has been delivered, and the case closed. But in the mindset of Left and Right ideological thinking, binaries are being created about the role of police in killing the alleged suspects. Were the police right in their killings, or they were wrong? Political Left, with its intellectual leaning, believes it was wrong, and let the system take over to deliver its judgment. The political Right cheers the police action that justice is not … Continue reading Politics Of Left And Right Are Not The Solutions To Tackle Rape Problem

The four suspects in the Hyderabad rape case have been killed by the police. Most people, including the parents of the victim, applaud the police action. Justice delivered. Quick, the case closed. In the Indian context, I would accept this kind of quick “street justice”, where otherwise the judicious system and the bureaucracy run with its stagnant pace while the victims and the families suffer and go thru torturous times. The case in point is the severe burning of a rape victim in U.P. a few days ago while going to the court to seek justice. Justice in the country is … Continue reading Applaud Or Condemn The “Police Justice” In India?

By Promod Puri It’s a disgraceful societal evil that has not begun targeting in any realistic and practical way how to kill the rapist beast that lurks everywhere in India, ready to pounce on the female at any given opportunity! Priyanka Reddy, Asifa Banu, Jyoti Singh, and hundreds perhaps thousands more became victims or going to be next: now, today or tomorrow. Headlines make the scene. Speeches and statements drum up. Anger, frustrations, and emotions ventilated. Slogans are raised, “hang them, shoot them.” Protests are organized, candles are lit. Articles are written, rewritten, poetry composed. Social media is flooded with … Continue reading Tackling Rape Problem By Going Beyond Candle-lit Vigils and Protests
