I was appalled to see the report the other day that the Kolkatta High Court judge, CS Karnan passed an order directing the seven judges, of Supreme Court including the CJ , to appear before him on April 28th, at his residence in Kolkatta is baffling as they have been asked to defend themselves, against the charge of violating the SC/ST prevention of Atrocities Act levelled by him as he felt, that the seven judges of Supreme Court have insulted him deliberately with malafide intention thus becoming a hero who has become law unto himself. Is there no end to this sort of behaviour from Justice Kannan? Can Supreme Court not remove him from services, for such an irrational and stupid acts? And more over why is Central Govt. maintaining stoic silence on this isssue, in comprehensible. As Justice of High Court, he brought up Dalit Card. Baba Saheb Ambedkar, who fought for his peers, would turn in his grave seeing the misuse of the advantages he obtained for the community.
He is being deemed a hero, but I'm feeling helpless as no person, public personality or any politician of repute and not alas Not even sensation loving News Channel are not ready to take this issue head on, clearly for the fear of getting isolated. So much for the  Great nation, great democracy and a social fabric!
This reminds me of Singapore's Founding father Lee KwanYew who quoted saying that any society which doesn't recognise merit, and give its due place, will deteriorate and go down in the history, over the time. May God save this country.
