12 June 19 The news of the former CEA expressing his academic authority through a formal paper published in academic abroad, which debunked largely the statistical exercise carried out by India when he was very much in government. Peers and those who claim to be in the know, say that Mr Arvind Subramaniam had conveyed […]
6 June 2019 Two separate threads both linked to Bengaluru engage me closely, the first being how the INC never learnt their history correct and how the Nandan Nilakeni input confirms some thing I always have been saying about Mr Rahul. The second is about how an unseemly row has erupted over ISKCON’s Akshaya Patra […]
4 June 2019 In what can be called almost duplicitous, the manner in which suddenly a spate of bad news on the economic front hit India cornered the attention of many an inflamed columnist. Crying over spilt milk is not wise, especially if the milk were the stuff that Drona had offered to Aswaththama, more […]
01 June 19 The flurry of economics related news that emerged on the aftermath of the swearing in ceremony at New Delhi was likely to be orchestrated. After all, at a time when some were vociferously arguing that every thing was hunky dory and Modi 2.0 needed more the same, there were others who without […]
31 May 19 Yesterday we saw clearly a change of guard, clearest ever signal of attendees at the PM swearing in representing the new ‘elite’ of India. An occasion for rising above the fray, above party politics was soured by the present of supposedly/allegedly slain BJP workers’ next of kin, only from West Bengal, which […]
26 May 19 The political drama is being portrayed as kind of pre-scripted, whereas a cursory glance of even the headlines reveals that the May 2019 is a message being continually interpreted at a deep personally level by all the stake holders. First off, the winner of these strode like a colossus and yet appeared […]
25 May 2019 People are frothing over why this state rejected Mr Modi at the height of his persuasive powers. They wish to know if the ungodly ideology of the Dravidian parties ( all of whom are officially atheist) was the cause, was it the Hindi phobia the Congress-DMK whipped up to target gullible voters, […]
24 May 2019 Only a fool would still await to see some sliver of wisdom from the nitty gritty of numbers, even as results are still officially not cast in stone for this Lok Sabha. From the dogwhistles, taunts, memes and the macabre innuendo this 2019 campaign was devoid of any ‘pretence’ from the BJP, […]
23 May 2019 Electoral results are meant to convey the national pulse like no other. In that sense, today for individuals, it is a great reflective opportunity to reset their social compass, if they must, or better still to set the True North on their cultural compass, based on values which they perceive has now […]
22 May 19 For a nation accustomed to regular elections, with an ECI with its established authority and a judiciary where the canonical law existed on abuse of office under electoral code of conduct involving a candidate no less than the then Premier of India, what should have been rigmarole has become one of the […]
