Seasons change, people change, mentalities change but these politicians, they never ever change. Come election times and you can see a wide array of gimmicks from them. They talk talk and talk but you can be sure that they won't talk any sense. Take Madhya Pradesh (MP). BJP has been vociferous in blaming the [...]

The recent retaliatory attack on Syrian Islamic Jihad base camps by Israel reveals the true face of America, their doublespeak on the Kashmir issue becoming more poignantly evident. The American hypocrisy lets them pats on the back of Pakistan for its help in fighting terrorism ignoring the terrorist dens right beneath their nose and tells [...]

Many of you might have noted the patni factor in the former UP ministerAmarmani Tripathi's case nabbed by CBI for his role in the murder of poetess Madhumita Shukla. Many press-wallahs say Madhumani was the mastermind behind the killing. Unlike the usual Indian wives infested by the woh factor she wasn't the one to do [...]

With a BJP led government at the center, it was all “Your wish is my command” for ASI.
On 25th the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), a government organization, reported to the high court that its excavations at the disputed site at Ayodhya found distinctive features of a 10th century temple beneath the Babri Mosque site. [...]

Have a look at this report that appeared in the Times of India. Those who detested my earlier views expressed in Part-1 and Part-2and who believe that theASI report has not been doctored may find this story interesting. Based on this report I wonder how ASI even made its conclusions public, or was it just [...]

Better late than never! Atleast 4 more MIGs had crashed since I wrote this. The good news is efforts of the kins of Late Flt Lt Anil Gadgil who had lost life in a MIG crash at the political helms seem to have bore fruit. 20 years and more than 155 MIGs later the government [...]

I have given thought to this many times. Why hang-on to the concept of having ripe but aged policticians as Prime-Minister who could barely walk and talk. Without any offence to the eloquence of Vajpayee, methink he has been too late to enter the office. We need a dynamic young persona for this post with [...]

Vajpayee went far ahead in accomodating Chinese sensibilities.
When I wrote this I was convinced that the recent visit of Prime Minister Vajpayee to China was an occassion for haughty talks in Indian media. The recent revelation that Chinese had transgressed into Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh during his visit, on the grounds that the state [...]

Yet another MiG Fighter aircraft crashed in Punjab. Luckily the pilot escaped unhurt. We have seen a spate of such crahses before. Infact, more than 150 Indian fighter planes have crashed in the past 10 years. Each aircraft costs about Rs 100 crore, the cost of the training of pilots is about Rs 23-45 crore per pilot. [...]
