WHAT IS THE GOVT' GOING TO DO FOR 12YRS. SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE OF SRIRANGAM FOR THEIR RESIDENTIAL GROUND & THE FORWARD CASTE. MERELY COMMENTING ON IT WITHOUT SENDING THE MESSAGES TO MODIJI WILL NOT WORK OUT.EVEN THE MUSLIMS & CHRISTIANS ARE GIVEN % FOR THEIR LIVING NEEDS FROM YOUNG TO OLD.THE MUSLIMS ARE BETTER TREATED THAN US IN BRINGING RULES ACCORDING TO THEIR CASTE RULES. THEY CAN JUST SAY ' TALAK ' FOR DIVORCE. THE RULES FOR BUYING & SELLING PROPERTY FOR MUSLIMS ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CITIZEN'S OF INDIA.WHY SUCH DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE CITIZENS? GENERAL RULES THAT IS BASIC NEEDS & LIVING SHOULD BE EQUAL TO ALL THE CITIZENS. LET US HOPE FOR THE BEST TO BE A NON-DIFFERENTIAL INDIAN CITIZENS.

1. The Laws of succession and inheritance Act shall remove the obstacles and [ i ] pathetic conditions of Parents falling under Senior Citizen [ ii ] shall remove the indirect Dowry menace and Women Atrocities before the intestate of the Family Head. 2. The area Revenue Authority shall confirm the list of Successors and the District Collector & Magistrates shall issue the Succession Certificate within 30 days from the date of Urge with necessary declaration by any member of that Family since they are the directly connected Authorities since ancient Times. This reduces all the delays in the process. more
