A touchy question. No one asks and no one seems to be anywhere near to come near attempting an answer either! The party is in clear decline. It is a leaking boat or a sinking ship. The signs are ominous. Mrs.Sonia Gandhi is clearly not interested in the job. See, even after one month passed…

What the Congress party has done for the Congress revival? In the last three years?
The functioning of government in Delhi today, that is, after the UP Assembly victory for the BJP, seems a bit directionless. The PM is talking suddenly about working for a New India! What this New India means? No one is explaining! As for the Delhi political scene, we see a certain emptiness. Mr.Arvind Kejriwal, the…
After the UP election victory, now the promises?
Fighting black money! Is it the target now? Black money is a topic most public opinion makers, old and young better avoid it.

The rise of liberalism in the world.
How we in India understand the economic growth and political fall-outs? How transparent is governance in India? After all these years of Modi government? Parties, castes and dynasties don’t change anyway! Now, Modi government is out of the woods, so to say? Demonetisation has eased peoples’ hardships? Country and the issues are of a long-term…
Demonetisation Drive and the economic slowdown?
The reality and the multiple issues. The government is now on accelerating economic growth by all means. The World Bank has now put the Indian economic growth rate at 7 per cent. This is way down from what we claimed to be the world’s fastest growing economy. Even faster than what China was claiming. After…
