India’s new language of killing - by Praveen Swami

Will Modi authorize offensive covert ops against elements inimical to India's interests?

The articles says our current NSA quashed this idea under MMS and told the agencies to keep their hands in their pockets. Some flare for words!

The NYPD officer should be tried in India without fast tracking this case.

At todays Rupee Rate of 62 how much is 2.24 lakh crore in USD ?

2.25 lakh crore = $36.29 billion at that rate.

Last financial year it was $37.24 billion (even though the rupee figure was lower at 2.04 lakh crore).

IMO, 10.29% hike is pretty decent.
