Thread on Difference between Bhagwad Gita and Art of War.
1) Top Business Class people often treat Art of War as their main book of Inspiration.
2) They belive that in order to become very rich in business, you have to eliminate all your competitors and you alone should be in supplier market, so that you can charge high prices. They seek inspiration of Art of War about how to eliminate competitors from business
3) On the other hand, Bhagwad Gita is more about duty to fight against those who follow paths of Adharm. It emphasises that one has duty fight against one's relatives, teachers and friends also if they stray on path of Adharm.
4/ Bhagwad Gita also suggests that there is no alternative to war because you can never negotiate with those who are neck deep drown in Adharm. (There are no exact equivalent words in English for Dharma and Adharm. You have to understand them as per their meaning in Sanskrit.)
5/ Bhagwat Gita also explains existential meanings of life and death on this planet.
6/ Bhagwad Gita also says that there are thousands of methods for those who want to achieve certain results.
But there is only one path for those who want to live paths of a Doer.
7/ The One Path of A Doer is "You focus on your actions only. If your actions are right, you are on right path. The results will take care of themselves.
Never enter in action with greed of result. Never avoid an action for fear of results."
8/ Art of War does not see a life beyond death.. Bhagwad Gita sees life beyond death and says that this whole world, as if mounted on a giant circling wheel, continues to move in cycles and cycles since time immemorial to time immemorial.
2/ One meaning of word "Advocate" is "To speak on behalf of others".
And legal system is designed as "Adversial System".
Two parties are supposed to strongly argue on behalf of their clients and in this contested atmosphere, a Judge is supposed to give a balanced Judgement.
3/ When an advocate is arguing for prosecution, he is not supposed to speak on favourable points for accused.
When advocate is arguing for criminal, he is not supposed to speak in favour of prosecutor.
Thread about Emotional Issues of Men's Rights activists.
1) Most of them compain that there is gender bias in men-women laws. They insist that the men may also be treated equally by courts. They fail to see that if gender bias is there in laws, how judges can go against laws?
2/ Lest us take example of Transfer petitions where a woman seeks transfer of case filed by men in other State.
Here, wording of the provision says that Judge has to see which party is suffering more hardship. The woman are considered weak by physiotherapy. Hence, they succeed
3/ Then take cases of suicide of wife within 7 years of marriage. Whatever may be the reasons, the law presumes that man is guilty, till he proves himself not-guilty in a trial which may take place after 5 years of his arrest. He can get bail, but the process is very very costly.
Thread about how Judges examine a document when a doubt is expressed about genuineness of that document.
1/ The question was about genuineness of a Will.
The man claimed "He was servant of the deceased. All his relatives had left him in his old age. #lawyers#lawstudents
2/ He was looking after all court cases between deceased and his sons. Being pleased with his service, the old man, before dying, signed one page typed will, in which one property was given to him."
It was possible that this man may have obtained signature of old man for purpose filing some case and then he may have misused this paper for making Will in his favour.
Thread for taking help of metaphors of Palaces to improve our life.
1) I am King of my own Kingdom. I have many palaces in which I live.
The First Palace is called "Palace of Mind".
2) In my Palace of Mind, I allow only decent thoughts to enter. When a new thought wants enter in this palace, I check it before I allow it enter in this Palace. I check to see whether I really want to allow this thought to enter in my Palace.
3) When I scroll my twitter timeline, I saw many thoughts who want to enter in my mind. They want to enter in my mind through my eyes. But I do not give them entry easily. I have my own criteria about what types of thoughts I want to allow in my Palace of Mind.
Thread on How to seek cooperation of people who are in power, for getting good things done
1/ Suppose your Judges are very bad. Suppose your political leaders are very bad. Suppose IAS and IPS officers are very bad. Suppose all have one or other vices.
2/ And suppose you still need their help for many good things that you desire to get done with their help..
Then hurling stones of criticism at them will not help you. It will only increase acrimony between them and you.
3/ To hurl satire at them will also not help you. They will alienate themselves from you. They will stop listening to you. Then you cannot expect them to listen to you or to help you.
