The right Left way. Just when India is finally trying to stand on its feet, we have carpet pullers lending “outside” support to the UPA government. Some nuggets from the latest instance of rug-pulling (from the Rediff piece I have linked to):
West Bengal paralysed
Strike hits normal life in Kerala
Chandigarh hit too
Confusion at Hyderabad airport
Tripura badly [...]

The Haryana government has managed to cure itself of its recent mental affliction.
Birender Singh, minister for labour and employment, Haryana, dismissed on Tuesday a report that women had been banned from working in call centres at night, saying the practice was fine as long as employers guaranteed their safety.
Primary Red can breathe easy now.

Those who think I’m either bored, or too tired to pursue the wretched matter need to think again. I’m of course, talking about the Mitrokhin Archives. This entry is brief. Because B Raman says everything.

Thanks to Nitin who evocatively writes about the various governmental attempts to shackle the IT industry’s growth in Bangalore.
It took a group of Bangalore’s knowledge economy CEOs to threaten a boycott of the Karnataka government’s IT trade show for Dharam Singh’s government to finally sit up and acknowledge that it was, after all, committed [...]

Dirt on the Left’s misadventures.
Incensed by “revelations” about Promode Dasgupta, one of the architects of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) after the great split of 1963-64, contained in The Mitrokhin Archive II: The KGB and the World, details of which were published in The Indian Express, the West Bengal unit of the party has [...]

The grand melange of Communist parties is furious that their secrets, which for more than three decades were guarded by their loyal soldiers in the media and the establishment should tumble out from the Imperialist West.
The Communist Party of India is livid with the claims made in Christopher Andrew’s book based on the KGB [...]

That is witness to a gang rape. Thank God it is not Delhi. Again.
What the hell is happening?

Skepticfiles.org has a nice deconstruction of Eric Von Daniken’s Chariots of the Gods. Although this piece of refutation is about 30 years old, it is recommended if only to caution us–including me–from falling prey to frauds.
Was God an ancient astronaut? Do centuries-old legends of gods and heroes tell of space travelers who came to [...]

The skeletons are out. The Mitrokhin Archives II has suddenly added colour to the Indian political tamasha, which in my view had become somewhat reticent in the past few months. The Acorn has–as usual–voiced its perspective. And Secular Right too weighs briefly on the issue:
We knew this about the CPI, long suspected this of the [...]

Thanks to an email from reader Srikanth who forwarded me this link. The writing is not merely moronic, it’s confusedly moronic.
Recently, I was passing through a leading airport in the country. And I saw a private airlines corporation, characterised by its sleekness, glamour, and its distinctively visible ‘feminine service.’ Yes, I saw young girls [...]
