J&K Interlocutors’ report, a dangerous ploy to destabilize India via Kashmir

By Bhim Singh

Criminal silence of the Congress leadership on the highly provocative and vicious 179-page-report of three interlocutors (musketeers) submitted to the Union Home Minister, P. Chidambaram in June, 2012 is an alarming signal vis-à-vis the future constitutional relationship of J&K with the rest of the country.

Will a failed Finance Minister make a good President?

Is the Congress pushing Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee into the Rashtrapati Bhavan because he is the best person with a vast political experience and fit for this Number One constitutional job? Or is it being done to get the North Block seat vacated since he has messed the economy completely ?

Shiv Sena backs call for ‘Hindutva’ PM

Tribune News Service

The Shiv Sena has come out in support of the demand by a section of the Bharatiya Janata Party that a hardline supporter of the Hindutva movement be named the National Democratic Alliance's candidate for Prime Minister.

How India missed the Myanmar bus

Arijit Sen

IT was unbearably hot in Kolkata in May last year when 31 Arakanese and Karen men walked out of Presidency Jail. It took them a little time to spot the TV cameras waiting to record their acquittal, their walk to freedom. Once they knew where to look, they posed with victory signs. Yet, most were too tired to flash a smile or even realise they were free. Three of their comrades were still in jail. Two others had died over the years. The tiredness was not surprising. It had been 13 years since February 1998 when these men had been allegedly stabbed in the back by the Indian Army.

CALM ABOVE THE STORM

- As the presidential poll nears, everyone has an axe to grind

Sunanda K. Datta-Ray

A Hindutva PM for India?

That the Bharatiya Janata Party is a house divided against itself is clear from its rabble rousers: First, the choice of President, and, now the party’s prime ministerial candidate. Even before the party stalwarts had come to an understanding on whom to support, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had emerged as a clear winner and it’s a foregone conclusion that he would be the next President.

'Failed' Siachen Talks Pak must win confidence

Col (Dr) PK Vasudeva (Retd)

India and Pakistan have, as expected, failed to make any headway in ending the military standoff on Siachen. The two sides stuck to their stated positions, merely committed themselves to "serious, sustained and result-oriented efforts" for an amicable settlement of the issue and "acknowledged that the ceasefire (in Siachen) was holding since 2003." Thus, at the end of the talks in Islamabad, the usual joint statement was released, followed by an agreement to hold the next secretary level talks in Delhi on a mutually convenient date.

Violence does not pay

Kerala CPM must mull over by-poll loss

The June 2 by-poll in Neyyattinkara Assembly constituency in Kerala, the results of which were announced last weekend, is simultaneously an example of how the political parties can transform democracy into a mockery and a huge lesson for the CPI(M) on why it should end its politics of terror.

A post-Partition contest India-Bangladesh Relations Need A Reset

Krishnan Srinivasan

SOME state leaders invoke the federal principle for their parochial purposes and put at risk India’s relations with important neighbours. Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal, declined to accompany Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Dhaka last year, vetoed an agreement on sharing the Teesta river waters, and now jeopardises the Land Boundary agreement with Bangladesh that has been hanging fire since 1974.

Too much laughter?

Laughter is the best medicine, or so we were led to believe. Defying the old dictum is the emerging theory that excessive laughter is bad, perhaps not for the body and soul of those who laugh but for their neighbours’ peace and well-being.

AP parties’ moment of truth

Do political parties own communities or is it the other way round? Do voters exercise their franchise according to their will, or do they vote or cross-vote as advised by the village-level politicians?

General’s ‘special’

Gollapudi Maruti Rao

Two very i m p o r -tant institutions still evoke confidence and reassurance amidst the tarnished image of this corruption-ridden establishment, about which we hear day in and day out- Judiciary and the army. Sadly, these too are crumbling very recently- thanks to the former Chief Justice of India K.G.Balakrishnan, on whom there is a disproportionate assets case, and Chief of Army Staff General V.K.Singh, who fought with the establishment about his date of birth controversy before he puts in his papers. “Honesty and honour’’ are very often misused epithets, lost their sheen for being used by wrong people for right reasons of dishonesty. Hence, it is very difficult to separate the chaff from grain.

A budget of contradictions

S Gurumurthy

Last Updated : 19 Mar 2012 11:56:00 PM IST

The national budget for the financial year 2012-’13 mirrors the paralysis within the United Progressive Alliance coalition and government. It is a shocking theatre of conflict between the Indian sociology and Anglo-Saxon theories, of the contradictions between the intents of the finance minister and the contents of the budget, and of the minister’s confusion about what to do and what not to do in the light of his doubts about what the UPA government itself can and cannot.

Colombo must be sent a stern signal

March 18, 2012

India has for decades dealt with difficult neighbours to the north and west. With Sri Lanka, the relationship has been one of exceptional warmth with the people, but ties with state actors in the island nation can hardly be said to have been without complications.

Let’s stand on our feet

India may soon have to learn to live without foreign aid. The West, which sees India as a development paradox in which nearly 450 million people exist near the poverty line, can get condescending about handing out aid, even if it all goes into areas like public health rather than directly into poverty alleviation or into the defence budget.
