Never underestimate the capacity of India to screw itself up. Read this first.
9 per cent growth is putting pressure on prices, says Plan panel chief
Then, read this in full.
Economic growth does not flow out of a tap. Therefore, a Government that decides to slow down its national economy after it has heated up, can do [...]
Incisive as always. Jain also has a few lessons for those who care to learn about the Hindu conception of dharma vis a vis maintaining a harmonious social order. From the Pioneer, in full.
Left caught red-handed
Sandhya Jain
Nandigram has emerged as the symbol of what a soulless state leviathan driven by an imported ideology can do [...]
It seems the Prodigal Son has finally been allowed to test the waters in–gasp!–Uttar Pradesh.
And the linked “op-ed” rebukes him a tad too harshly but does not go overboard. Manini Chatterjee and Varghese K George present it like it’s an election postmortem, not an unbiased piece. Not that one expects better from the Congress party [...]
This time it is a woeful Rs.5 Lakhs. The All India Ibtehad Council (huh?) can obviously not match the resources at the command of the terrorist-minister, Haji Yakoob Qureshi who announced a 51-crore reward to perform an act of terrorism piety. Therefore
…a little-known conservative Muslim group on Friday offered a Rs 5 lakh bounty for [...]
After Londonistan, it’s the turn of the United States of Arabia America to turn into Americastan or Ameribia or whatever else. The latest ominous sign that this process is speeding up is only three days old:
Muslim cashiers at some local Target stores who object to ringing up products that contain pork are being shifted to [...]
Musharraf’s desperation shows when responsible ministers make whacky statements:
Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani quickly distanced the government from the police action.
“There was no justification for this action. I condemn this action,” he said. “It is our responsibility to take action against those responsible for this.”
As supreme dictator President, I feel sorry Musharraf has to go [...]
The People’s Paper needs to be careful what it writes; the diaphanous veil of being the conscience of the oppressed, of being victimized, etc is sure to rip off.
Infinite caution is required especially when the glorious ganger himself writes it:
There can be no dispute at all that the private sector in India needs to put [...]
Outlook has published a neat article about Krishna Menon, who parallels Rasputin.
A “wary creature”, one British secret agent noted of V.K. Krishna Menon…One of the most important figures of the Nehru era, he was also one of the most detested abroad: Time magazine described him as a “crotchety, Mephistophelean” figure, and when it put him [...]
Jagadish points to a rather amusing news item, which purports to trace the “Rama cult” (sic) to South India. The first thing that struck me was Suvira Jaiswal’s name. I recalled this academician’s name mentioned long ago in the Ayodhya debate. She is one of the usual JNU suspects, belonging to the Eminent Historians clique.
Pakistan has polls to elect its leaders. Musharraf exemplies how the process works. Here’s another example of how democracy works there:
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan strongly condemned the encroachment of the premises of the Hindu temple located at Pawaldass Compound in Lyari that has been turned into a slaughter area by local butchers.
