Finally a bright journalist woke up and wrote about illogical and archaic law regarding Arms deposition during Elections.Read on and post your comments, would also request you to comment on the article on the publishers webpage.

Thanks for posting Rakshit,
Very well written article and balanced all the way.
Even I had thought of writing one but in my case the administration in Kolkata would say that I had a personal interest (which is not wrong) and hence was trying to get even.

Good job

PS The article also told me that a certain Mr Sharma has bought a Smith for $10,000. Congrats

No I did not buy it for $10000. I said what I have is fetching close to $10000. A little misquote. But like you said balanced article.
