It is so amazing, how our political leaders come out with such fantastic rules and policies which makes you feel as if you are not living in/a part of the biggest functioning democracy in the world, but rather part of a country which has the most ridiculous form of governance.
Ruling government of the state of Maharashtra, the Congress-NCP led government has come up with an insane ruling, that new taxi licenses in Mumbai, would be given to individuals who are well versed in Marathi (read, write, and speak) and who have also resided in the city for atleast 15 years. This decision was taken under the leadership of CM Ashok Chavan in a meeting, which did not have a single representative, from the Bombay Taximen Association, the oldest in the city, looking at the interests of the taxi drivers. Imagine, you take an important decision about cricketers, and having not a single cricketer in that meeting, to give his point of view. Strange enough, but true.
