How can the meritorious students wait for more than 24 hours? In this age of intense competition, every minute counts for the meritorious students. Only if you had merit, you would understand their pain.

aditya,

thanks for the comment. yes, i've been reading that blog for a few months now. my view is that the supreme court has usurped the right to define indian citizenship. and one would be acquiescing in its right to redefine rights if we see anything that's happening over there as anything more than a farce.
