When was the last time Sri Anna Hazare fasted and almost no one took notice of it? One of the biggest favours India owes to Mr Modi is how this government has managed to neutralise this Grand Disrupter who was unfortunately labeled a Gandhian and ascribed every manner of political virtue when he set about […]

The Mirage 2000 crash at HAL complex cost two young test pilot lives and it is tragic how we have in one flash of this crash, labelled the French aircraft- the MiG21 of now! Calls have emerged calling for grounding of the fleet, of suspending the HAL from having any involvement in maintenance of IAF […]

Remember how it was, the heady euphoria that finally we were on our way to a great global power we deserve to be? That was 2014, when all the talk in the air was of major economic reforms, about how India would enter high double digit GDP growth trajectory and be an all conquering force. […]

What Mr Rahul […]

Look at the CBI saga, and it is just a candle to what ails India, and why it will keep failing India’s strategic wherewithal. We have a widow seeking investigation into her husband’s cold blooded murder at the Supreme Court, and their Lordships have read a riot act to the agencies involved, and what option […]

Of course, it is rather clear that all that is happening from 01 January 2019 is about political battleground that appears to be a bit of a challenge for the NDA at this point.
