2 May 2019 News broke out that China had sought to concede on Masood Azhar resolution which it had placed on technical hold for couple of months, a resolution it had vetoed earlier in the UNSC, one brought in by France after Pulwama happened. For some reasons an immature Indian media played on it as […]
27 April 19 From 2014, those heady months leading up to May, to now, there are crucial differences. It is for us to notice or ignore these, the first crucial one is the lack of any anger now against the Congress Party, which has been viewed by people as the natural party of India’s social […]
27 April 2019 The news of Iran being declared off limits for oil imports crept in surreptitiously as if the Model Code of Conduct applied to bad international news. Anywhere between 01 to 02 litres of every ten litres of crude comes from the Persian Gulf to India’s refineries. It has its ripple effect, being […]
26 April 2019 Honestly I did not even want to go there. From a smattering of tweets on this issue, I could make out that the Chief Justice has been accused of sexual harassment. That his case is being brought in by a lawyer who refuses/ seeks privilege to not reveal all the evidence at […]
25 April 2019 So what was the emerging picture? It reveals so far that a group of young men, with independent financial backing staged this series of attacks many of which did not cause quite the intended damage they aught to. Sri Lanka is on the process of promising a clean up, and the President […]
24 April 2019 The National Tawheed Jamaath has been placed on the cross hairs of this investigation, their leader Zahran Hashim at the centre of it, even as dozens have been arrested including six from a Colombo suburb produced before a magistrate within the first 24 hours of the terror attacks. The lead question for […]
What is the narrative backdrop to this random act seemingly of violence that ripped apart Sri Lanka at her waist geographically, targeting centres on either coast, killing and maiming hundreds? From the cursory survey of targets it was clear that Churches and hotels were targeted. Were they targets in retaliation to Christchurch? Were these acts […]
There is a lot of innocuousness surrounding our understanding of ‘entitlement’. No one quite understands what it entails and how it operates unless one were to see it that way, which a former US Navy admiral has been able to frame, and John Kirby’s letter to his nephew John may well make epistolary history!https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/16/opinions/ilhan-omar-has-a-point-kirby/index.html If […]
19 April 2019 I could borrow from Charles Dickens in saying ‘Those were the best of times and the worst of times’… Why would one really be perturbed about the manner in which we are googling and searching and sourcing of information? After all the Wikileaks to Wiki series of websites have thrown a scintillating […]
15 April 19 It is quite funny when one sees how Medical field has been handled by the modern world, in a far cry from how similarly evolved Judicial profession has sustained its original centripetal norm. While every thing in the judicial system gravitates and evolves around the Judge who ‘dispenses’ justice, medicine has evolved […]
