Arrogant Airlines

Be five minutes late and you are dropped. Board the flight and still find yourself being chucked out dues to overbooking. Lately, airlines have been going berserk on arrogance. 

Passanger considerations are just no one’s business whether by airlines or by airports administrations as they continue to fleece them with unbounded fees, fares and penalties. Cancel ticket and get peanut in refund. Facilities at airports are being created not for passengers whose convenience should be  primary stake holding of such premises,  but for creating commercial opportunities to make more money. 

Fares at some sectors would go up ten times for even one hour flights like to Dehradun, Dharmshala. And they are arrogantly allowed to do so without any public, govt, regulatory check or relief. What does that point to? Do they  have access to political support to do all this knowing that they would get away with it? They are indeed getting away with it.

Nations : how these had been and why we should respect present boundaries

Before present era of modern sobriety and moral codes of living with organised collaborative way, took roots, every chieftain (king) was capturing or driving away other weaker ones of other lands and bringing bigger regions under his control for power and revenue. It was considered legitimate in those times. Killing other humans for sake of the king was patriotic and religions were being invented every now and then to normalise actions of the rulers of the time. Some stayed to our times.

Not any more now. We can't redefine world with ancient philosophies of politics and moralities.

It is in recent times only that boundaries are becoming sacrosanct and defining of modern nations. We are different period of upwardly developing civilisation. Let's accept what we have today or at least how we know of most of the nations for past 100 or so years.
