Man ki Baat or Man Mani by Rajiv Rajan


Man ki baat means talking from the heart.
If man ki baat has to be real it has to be a two way process Man mani mean doing whatever one feel like or dictating whatever one wants to.

Man ki baat never happened with Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 but man mani happened. Actual stakeholders were not even a part of process in the initial stages leave alone listening their man ki baat
Leave alone the the man ki baat of the stakeholders. Even the ratification of United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities never mattered when doing this man mani.
Article14 of Constitution of India provides for equality before the law or equal protection of the laws within the territory of India. It states: "The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India."
This has been violated in this case of man mani

Man ki baat never happened during the abrogation of article 370 but man mani happened
Man ki bath of political starwalts were not allowed leave alone the general public. Man mani was also evident when some foreign delegates were invited to show to the world how normal the situation was in the valley when the situation was not so normal to say the least.
Article 19(1)(a) of Indian Constitution says that "all citizens have the right to freedom of speech and expression. Freedom of Speech and expression means the right to express one's own convictions and opinions freely by words of mouth, writing, printing, pictures or any other mode". This was violated for a very long time in fact even now it is being violated in Jamu and Kashmir.

Man ki baat never happened with Citizens (Amendment) Act but man mani happened.
Article 14 of the Constitution of India provides for equality before the law or equal protection of the laws within the territory of India. It states: "The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India."
In this man mani also the life line article of the constitution has been violated.

Does the government of India really want to listen to its citizen's man ki baat or does it only want citizens of India to listen its man ki bath and accept it?

Results of all the one way traffic of "man ki baat" is there for everyone to see
"Divyang" the most inappropriate lable given to persons with disabilities.
Protests across the country.
Insecurity among the citizens.

Man ki baat or man mani? is the question to be answered but will it ever be answered? Is a billion dollar question.

Does the government have any respect for the constitution? is another big question with out much of an answer.

And for the first time I am seeing the ruling dispensation taking a rally in support of an enactment by the parliament that too when the matter is being heard by the Supreme Court of the country.

Where are we going with all this?
