Guess our moderators deal with issues like unfair practices day in out. We surface here once in a while. Knowing what can be corrected in systems is imp and we can see all of us here want that.

Dear activists,I have been analysing this problems of 'unparliamentary expressions'/epithets/curses/swear words. Bastard is one such word. It is used abusively and sometimes as a swear word too. But on analysing, I find that this word when used against many of our 'leaders' and 'authorities' would actually be an insult to the real bastards. After all what is the fault of the 'bastard' in his/her being a bastard? He/she is as innocent a baby as we all were when we were born. If anybody is to be blamed it is the parents, particularly the father because it is the lack of identity of the father that has resulted in somebody being a 'bastard' or not. So the abusive term should be 'father of a bastard' and not bastard per se! Similarly with other abusive terms in common use. So now I do not use any of them. I have homed on to the terms that really describe the work of these worthies and one set goes like 'thugs, scoundrels and traitors'. Will anybody blame me for calling a thief a thief?
regards n bw

Sir,
I am sure that Mr. Modi (who is now also a well known RTI consultant) had sufficient and strong reason to use the language he did.
I would, however, request Mr Modi, on behalf of the entire RTI community and the people of India, to kindly atone for his "sin" by following up with the Speakers of the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha to ensure the following under RTI
1) That the most recent book (running into 900+ pages) titled as "Unparliamentary Expressions" be put into public domain immediately - over internet, if it has not already done.
2) That all MPs be made to pass a compulsory written test on Parliamentary language before being admitted to the House(s)

Dear Ketan
(offered in deference to your status as senior journalist)
"pimp" ??? perhaps you meant,
"bawd" (A woman in charge of a brothel)
"procuress" (A female who obtains a woman as a prostitute for another person.)
