वर्ष 1974 में गांधी मैदान (पटना) में लोकनायक जयप्रकाश नारायण द्वारा "संपूर्ण क्रांति' के उद्घोष को पचास वर्ष पूरे हो रहे हैं. उस आंदोलन का मकसद समाज और व्यवस्था में आमूल बदलाव करना था. मगर अफसोस कि वह लक्ष्य अधूरा रह गया! लेकिन उसकी जरूरत और प्रासंगिकता बनी हुई है. इसलिए उस आंदोलन और उस घोषणा को पचास साल होने पर महज औपचारिकता के लिए नहीं, इस दृष्टि से भी याद करने की जरूरत है कि उस अधूरे लक्ष्य को हम भूल नहीं जायें, बल्कि यह विचार कर सकें कि एक बेहतर समाज गढ़ने के उस स्वप्न को साकार करने के लिए क्या किया जा सकता है.

When we used to presume the Editors Guild of India (EGI) as a national forum of editors, the journalists-editors of Manipur changed the perception. Two major local media bodies have challenged the EGI over its fact-finding report on the ongoing ethnic conflicts in the northeastern State and it only reflected that the editor’s club may not have representative in all States of Bharat.

Spam calls continue to intrude daily lives of mobile users with impunity. Users maintain they  disconnect and block three and more spam calls daily despite Do Not Disturb (DND) facility having been introduced since 2007 by the union government. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has already introduced in 2010 a framework, Telecom Commercial Customers Preference Regulation (TCCCPR), to curb spam calls. But the spammers went ahead and thwarted this regulation as well. Union government also keeps introducing new regulations from time to time to keep spam calls under checks.
