The statement made for the BJP gathering by Ms Nirmala Seetharamanhttps://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/no-corruption-major-terror-attack-under-modi-rule-nirmala-sitharaman/articleshow/67499726.cms as Defence Minister was naturally surprising on two counts. Both focussed on internal security, one by stating that no major terror attacks have happened since 2014, and the other was about Congress party confabulating with Pakistan. On the latter charge, she will again be […]

The battle lines in India’s largest Electoral College for the Lok Sabha is drawn. BSP and SP let by Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav have sealed their deal, sharing a neat 38 seats each leaving out four, 02 out of deference to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi individually and 02 for perhaps the RLD of Ajit […]

Contrast with how the Supreme Court had come down heavily on the government of the day when it called the CBI a ‘Caged Parrot’. It came to this conclusion, not because the CBI was witnessing a turnstile treatment of its Director as now, but it was an observation about the pressures being placed on the […]

This is another midnight stroke, quite like the one on 08 November 2016, which began with a prefaced address to the nation that rang with the syllable echo of “Mitron”! Only here this was a Cabinet decision of the government that enjoys a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the first in three decades, and […]

While new evidence has crept of washed up pottery, saptamatrikas and other statues, that were discovered not far from Kaladi, points to very ancient civilisation, we really do not need archeology to tell us how ancient and how […]

The issue that simply refuses to die down is the controversy surrounding the Rafale Deal which was approved by Mr Modi. As a personal curiosity, I have been fascinated with how initially there was relief that a deal was announced by PM Modi and there was great jubilation that immediately some aircraft would come to […]

For too long people have tried to say that Mr Modi is not interactive enough, and perhaps to silence his critics this interview with ANI. Of course, when the PM speaks, the weight and expectations of his high office accompany him. So what if the interview seemed like an Indira Gandhi era one, where the […]

Nothing informs our politics than everything. If you view this as an asinine proposition, consider that any and every element of our mental makeup, and every input that is external to it, all of it form a part of what finally shapes our voter preferences. In an ideal situation, every voter should have ambiguous preferences, […]

Can the voters of the British Referendum actually demand a Fresh Vote? After all the last one held under the watch of David Cameroon, was expressly a one time affair. Leave versus Remain was bitterly contested. Spin was heavily used by both sides, while truth which was more in the middle and somewhere between the […]
