One thought that worries me from what I wrote on the elections thread, is that, while we gloat over the fall of the "Left", we must remember, that almost everywhere Islam is present in sufficient strength, fall of the "Left" almost certainly seems to lead to a filling up or stre...

Is there any particular reason why so many either Foreign based and rich or desi based and rich people like Nilenkani, Maniratnam, ArunDhati Roy, Pranoy Roy consider themselves as leftist, when under strict leftism such people would be in the oppressor class. What right do these people have the rig...

Nation building is precisely what is impossible in India. To build the Indian nation one will have to subjugate the arrogance of the madarasi, the benevolence of the kannadiga, the dreaminess of the Bengali, the surliness of the Bihari, the machismo of the Punjabi and a whole horde of ethnic eccent...

The thing about your naval conflict hypothesis and the declining Indian naval capability is that it applies even more strongly to the conflict between the Bahmani Sultanate and the Kingdom of Vijaynagar. The Arabs by this time were dominating the sea trade, so why didn't the Bahmani Sultanate use t...

ts, I think it is likely that madra mentioned in the meghdutam is more likely to be the madra mentioned in mahabharata. please keep in mind that the current version of mahabharata was arrived at during the same time when kalidasa lived under the same dynasty-- the guptas, at probably the same place...

satya is bang on, Congress is playing its dirty politics here. Actually, this is a masterstroke by Congress. One, this will divert the attention from of Hindu masses from Islamic terrorism, which happened to some degree. Two, HFLs/psecs will get a stick to beat the "communals". Three, thi...

This is a bit of off topic but, I am against changing names of the cities. For example, in Delhi Connaught Place & Connaught Circle getting renamed to Rajiv Chowk & Indira Chwok. First of all, these are not crossings, these are circles. Second, what did it do towards solving the day to day ...

Do not go by today's story of Bagchi in TOI. Anyone else notice it is identical to the story run by Samanta in Express? The source is the same. And he is unkil. Think: All the Indian officials in the know are at the NSG -- Shiv Shankar Menon, Shyam Saran, Kakodkar. But unkil is spinning away in Del...

Good thing about this attack of Russia on Georgia is that International institutions lost relevance. NATO as security bogeyman of the west is also shown to be toothless tiger. This is good for India as it doesn't have strong position in those Intl institutions. In any newly constructed institutions...

PS: I'd agree with you that Dharma is confusing to the conversation if you had said, because todays India is secular, Dharma (as law) does not apply to the citizens of India and they are governed by Common Law. Perhaps, that is the reflection of this forum as well. Yes. Here are examples of how Dha...

And what about the BJP? If they now vote to boot out the UPA government, they will for a long time to come burn its bridges with the US - whom Vajpayee called India's natural ally. And for sure it can never negotiate a new nuclear deal as it will have to deliver something that is substantially bett...

What should India's posture be vis a vis PRC? PRC has its own challengers and has thus more demands on its inventory. So quantitative parity is not required. What about qualitative parity? The 45 tests PRC has conducted are for weapons which are from kt to mt. Yes they are conducted in an era of un...

I used to like the BJP, But now I have serious doubts about them. I thought it was the lefty congress that cannot make big deicisions and big ideas. But I was wrong..

If this goes to an election, the Commies will get wiped out. The Congress will be able to run on this issue - and do very well. If this is what MMS or SG had planned, it is brilliant. They are making the Commies look anti-national and the at the same time eating into the BJPs middle class base. Unl...

The govt has been consistent in claiming the J18 as benchmark, and they have stood their ground when Hyde, Jekyll etc. pulled all their stunts. Ok. Why not let parliament decide by going for JPC kind of arrangement BJP requested. They may as well get the deal okay'ed without the drama that is goin ...

Again why does Natwar Singh, the diplomat and the torch bearer of non-alignment, bring in 150 M Muslims? Isn't this similar to Seema Mustafa's article. Is this the sectarian objective? I though they were in the INC camp with all its Sachar report, quotas and what not. Was non -alignment all fake. W...

If Left successfully pulls the rug under MMS's feet, it will be the single biggest achievement of Indian democracy (at least in my memory). This will also set a very good precedent that never again such a predicament will occur. It has been my position that it was important that this government fal...

ShyamSP

That was bound to happen. I had complained about fracturing Indians. It is only the beginning. Is the right thing to do here to put this to a vote? But since its all up or down now, there is obviously no way to JPC and renegotiate; and even doing that won't fetch anything else from the US. I sure h...

ShyamSP

It is ironic if the BJP votes the deal down, then they would have inadvertently aligned themselves as sympathizers with the China cause. The reason that the US bended quite bit, during negotiation with India was that they knew any failure would imply that China succeeded in the final analysis. This...

Discussion unlikely under voting rule http://www.hindu.com/2007/08/13/stories/2007081353830100.htm BJP sources said the notice seeks to direct the Government to seek parliamentary approval for the deal; and is, therefore, seen as unconstitutional as there is no provision in the Constitution for Par...

What else can anyone expect BJP and Left to do? Welcome the deal and make MMS and congress a hero and loose next election? Aint gonna happen no matter whatever the deal is!

I think the commies are bargaining very hard for their pound of flesh. Ofcourse their comrade masters in Beijing will have told them to vote against this deal. But the commies also know that if this should result in another election, they may never have the kind of leverage they have today in GOI w...

It is not the text in the 123 that is important, but the difference between the two 123s that should be of interest. It would be rather funny if the Indian 123 had these "barriers" and the US 123 did not. I wonder if this 'leak" is in answer to the Burns comments a few days ago. &quo...

I am not a lawyer but have a few questions. Walker writes that the US Admin found ways to bypass the watertight Hyde Act. What does he mean? As mentioned in the same article, Presidential prerogative and foreign-affairs power can be used to trump that Hyde Act. I think Dick Cheney's touch at the en...

i do not understand why the left is currently so paranoid about the BJP returning to power if they join hands with the opposition to undo the govt on an issue such as this - the BJP as far as I understand is in no position to fight an election now, and might find itself losing seats. What then is t...

So the sell-out is confirmed....That such such a sell-out was happenning was obvious when the deal did not die immediately after the Hyde act. Now it is getting confirmed that MMS is accepting the deal in line with the Hyde act - in other words, capping rolling back and eliminating our deterrent an...
