Please note that the email address you enter while submitting your comment may be used by me or my publishers for sending you information and content that we feel may be of interest to you.

Finally, here are some tips for formatting your comments.
UPDATE: Off-topic comments are likely to be deleted without notice. Pl. make the effort to find the relevant thread to post your comments. Random and/or unrelated comments (or those with tenuous links to the posts) are distracting and do not help the discussion at all.
Use the “Search†box on the right-hand side or use the “Categories†drop down menu.
Repeated violation of these guidelines may lead to a temporary ban.

ATTRIBUTION
I am usually scrupulous about correctly attributing quotes, reports and articles to the original author and publication. Accurate attribution and referencing enhances credibility and respects other writers’ thoughts. I would never want to violate that.
My style of using direct quotes or verbatim excerpts is to include them in “Italics” (usually with quotation marks to indicate that they are not my words).
Occasionally, I may slip on this and either attribute incorrectly or forget it completely.
However, this would never be intentional. If you ever come across something on my blog which has been improperly attributed (or worse, not attributed at all), I shall be grateful for alerting me so that the mistake can be rectified.
Finally, the domains satyameva-jayate.org, satyameva-jayate.com, satyameva-jayate.in and reclaim-india.in are owned by me and any inappropriate or unauthorised use of either of them may be liable to legal action and/or prosecution.
Thank You.

*** COMMENT MODERATION POLICY ***
Comments are loosely moderated on this blog. In most cases, if you have commented before, your comment will be approved automatically.
Although every attempt is made to keep all objectionable comments and remarks off the website and forums, it is impossible to review all comments and remarks. If you feel a certain comment(s) on any post is/are objectionable, please bring them to my notice by leaving a comment on the relevant post or by sending an email to jai.dharma AT gmail.com
Comments with multiple URL Links may be held in moderation queue.
As loyal readers of my blog will know, I strive hard to maintain a high standard of discussion and debate on this blog (in content as well as style) and I hope I am able to sustain that.
I respect my readers time and effort in visiting this blog and would not wish to waste their effort by letting half-baked comments come in the way of an intelligent discussion.
If your comment does not appear immediately – as it used to – please bear with me and pl. visit the site after a few hours; Hopefully your comment should be “visible” by then.
Please remember, sometimes silence is golden. Pl avoid giving out personal information. Avoid rants, diatribes and “boiler-plate” responses.
By submitting a comment on this site, you are implicitly warranting that you will not post remarks/comments that may violate the laws of land.
Needless to say, I reserve the right to delete, edit or modify any comment submitted to this site without prior notification and/or explanation.
.
Final important points:
Please stick to civil language; please refrain from personal insults; please avoid dismissive arguments; and of course, no abuse or vulgarity allowed.
Thanks for your patience and support.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.

IMAGES (Updated 12th December ’09)
Images and thumbnail versions of pictures added to blog posts are always attributed unless the pictures/images are created and/or owned by the author or the blog publisher.
Please be aware that explicit copyright permission of the owner(s)/author(s) may not have been obtained in case of each and every image. If you feel any picture or image is a violation of copyright, kindly bring this to the attention of the blog publisher by sending an email to jai DOT dharma AT gmail DOT com.
UPDATE – III (October ’12):
As I devote increasing amounts of time to political activism and efforts and initiatives on the ground, I am finding it almost impossible to keep up and respond to the comments on various posts on the blog. Â Over the last few years, I did spend considerable time & energy to respond to almost each and every comment on the blog. Unfortunately, I cannot do it any more.
Henceforth, I will only respond to comments occasionally – and probably very rarely. That should not stop you from sharing your thoughts. I have learnt a lot from your comments over the pastfew years.. The blog has become richer because of that. So please do add your suggestions, ideas and comments whenever you can. Do be mindful of my moderation policy though. Thank you for your encouragement and support, as always.
FINAL UPDATE: Â A brief note on “Comments” (Apr ’14)
