26 January 2023 Few Indians of yester generation would have accepted the end of veneration of the clique that brought Indian transition from colonial dominion into what is today India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Even fewer would have guessed that India would undergo a transformation the way it has done, and the path it […]
22 April 2022 It was very rare for a reticent and former Prime Minister to write about India as being at the cross roads of global opportunities that arose from the flux that this global commons experiences in the face of Ukraine. Dr Manmohan Singh writes about the prospects of India as a peaceful democracy […]
20 January 2022 Manufactured outrage is now the new spin. If one can trace the underpinnings of fascism, the call would end with the inevitable conclusion that places ‘revisionism’ and rank ‘nationalism’ were actually pillions to a larger sense of ‘victimhood’. It would seem that Democracy as we now practise it, would need clear safeguards […]

There are several factors for that, which also offer us a set […]
17 May 2021 Caught unawares India seemed to actually reprise the dire warnings that Rahul Gandhi had issued last year, one where the ‘tsunami’ word was used, where he made the example of people catching fish when the waters retreated. So now when the waters overwhelmed us in this surge of cases, where people were […]
