| Be Selfish - Be Charitable | |
| One of the fundamental failures of Indian Capitalism is the absence of focus on Charity. Though there has been a recent shift to favour sustainable businesses over promoting the dynasty, the overriding goal appears to be dynasty and nothing else. Dynasties produce smart heirs and dumb & incompetent heirs as well. And the wealthy (competent and inc...

| A thousand speeches, articles and andolans could not have achieved what Mushraff achieved in one single stroke. By charging Imran Khan with terrorism he has reduced the anti terrorism laws to their truthful state - a new tool for the powerful to oppress people who dissent or disagree. Thank you General.

| Religion and Science | |
| I have been reading with dismay the muck raking that is going on about the Sethu Samudram Project. The parallels between this and the nonsense that goes on in the US about "belief" vs "science" is uncanny. The issue in the US is whether Darwin's theory of evolution can be taught in schools or should there also be place for "creationism". For tho...

I find it very difficult to get enthusiastic about the idea of a woman President - it seems a non-event given that we have had a woman Prime Minister, which is the more important job.
