Sonia Gandhi’s poor judgement of men and issues! The Indian National Congress is 123 years old. There are only two other parties in the world, the German Democrati Socialist Party,135 years old and the British Labour Party, more than a century old.

The trust vote
A rare moment of triumph for India’s democracy! A rare assertion of Indian patriotism! A vote for India’s unity of spirit and resolve! A demonstration of the collective consciousness of the people Cutting across regions and religions and over-coming the many divisions and small-mindedness of small-time politicians and the conspirators! Who gains and who loses?…
Indian democracy reaches for a new paradigm shift?
Unprincipled opportunists, all? Opportunistic Communists to prop up Mayawati as the next Prime Ministerial candidate! Yes, it looks like an open season for the unprincipled politicians of India. Even the veterans, the former Prime Minister and the CPI veterans are forgetting that history won’t forgive and forget! They are expected to show the right path,…

Thank god, the Speaker had seen wisdom not…
Ashis Nandy’s provocative views and the Supreme Court intervention!

I don’t really know much to make any distinction between the two disciplines. With this confession, let me say what he has done to clarify what…
The Congress makes moves for signing the nuclear deal!
Left Adventurism: time to call the bluff! The Left has really become a pain in the neck. The time has come to call its bluff. It is blackmailing the UPA government almost from day one. It imagines it has the key to unlock the world. Or, to the world’s wisdom! Such is its self-imagined arrogance…
Manmohan Singh’s tenure will end when?
Congress party must become more democratic. If you live in Delhi, perhaps, you might become immune to any new winds of change. May be you would be a government servant or a politician, even a minister or an MP, from outside Delhi from one of the states. Or, otherwise, you might be one of those…
