The perils of a Democracy where there is no choice is signalled by the desperation in toying with the idea of an irreproachable figure by Thakshin Shinawatra and Yingluck in their now aborted attempt to anoint the King’s sister as their candidate for Prime Minister. There is no greater red letter warning than the desire […]
Soon after the Manmohan Singh Government quit office, there were a series of articles and social media posts, what was actually well known to those who roamed India’s streets and farms- that India had experienced once of its best growth phases since Independence.

One of the failure of successive governments is to reform the military industrial complex that has left India as a servile importer of weaponry and substandard producer of munitions and systems.

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!
