An assault on Indian society roots: Attack on BRAU V-C

VISHAL SHARMA
AGRA, 07 Nov.
Such incidents were only witnessed in the parliament and state assemblies before this. Earlier, politics was targeted as a breeding ground of criminals, now even the academicians are not far apart.

In an unfortunate incident that happened first time in the history of 77-year history of this oldest University of North India. The educators of the University assumed the role of rogues by attacking the UNESCO fellowship awardee University Vice-Chancellor Prof. A.S. Kukla on Saturday, shocking the entire Agra town.

Perpetrated by a section of the education mafia operating in the University, the attack on the Vice-Chancellor has come as a surprise to the academic community of the city, which has termed this incident as an attack on the very roots of the society.

Arriving just about 2 months back, the Vice-Chancellor had introduced several academic reforms in the University, which included a significant change in the Research programmes in a University, where even a fourth class employee was holding a Ph.D. Seeking to change this system, Prof. Kukla made a number of changes in the education system and this was the issue that hit the vested interests of the education mafia operating in the University, starting a tension buildup among the teachers against the Vice-Chancellor, culminating in the unfortunate incident of Saturday.

It is very surprising that even when the culprits were easily identifiable in the videotapes provided by a local cable operator, the Agra police remained hesitant in filing an FIR against the rogue teachers.

These teachers has only served to prove that the incidents like Orissa assembly happen due to the “education” imparted by these teachers to the young generation.

The way these teachers tried to climb upon the Vice-Chancellor’s desk closely resembles the behavior of the politicians inside the parliament and state assemblies.

All the more surprising was the fact that the local administration, despite being warned of such a mishap in advance by the University Registrar, did not care to beef up the security around the University Secretariat, which ultimately resulted in an incident that has thrown mud on the face of Agra, which gave the first University to North India.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
