Tharoor
Has A Long Way To Go
Among
the many myths that have landed India
in deep diplomatic embarrassment in
the past are
myths
about so-called “solidarity of the
nonaligned and developing countries”
and the belief . . .
Gujarat
Riot Victims Hunt For Bodies, Justice
After a
tip from a local streetsweeper, Amina
Habib Rasool and a few friends began
digging through
a
rubbish tip, looking for the remains
of sons and husbands four years after
they were slaughtered
by a
Hindu mob.
Politics
Of Aggrandisement
I have
nothing against the MPs who have
prevailed upon the government to
curtail parliament’s
session
by three days. My worry is over the
cause for which they have done
so.
Young
Ny Singer Builds Big Following With
Web Exposure
Inside
a disheveled Long Island beach cottage
on a muggy summer day, Jamie Kristine
Seerman
sings
into a microphone, strumming a
battered guitar, recording on a
computer a song that she
hopes
will be a hit.
When
Self-Defence Becomes Lawlessness
Israel's
right to self-defence has never been
the issue. The issue is whether its
response has been
proportionate.
No Need
To Get Mushy
All
over the world, but notably in the
Islamic countries and Europe, the
ongoing conflict in Lebanon
has
become the occasion for another
outburst of visceral
anti-Americanism.
Funding
One’S Own Social Security Cheques
We
are a country that offers no social
security to most senior citizens (even
after a lifetime of
paying
taxes), no long-term Medicare plans
and increasingly, not even medical
insurance for
people
over 55. Senior citizens also have few
tax breaks . . .
De-Listing
The Minority Shareholders
Last
week’s trading pattern with the
steep and inexplicable rise and fall
of stock prices suggests
large-scale
market manipulation. This is happening
despite the big change in the trader
profile due
to
increased transparency, stricter Know

The
House They All Built
The
Bharatiya Janata Party would not be
itself if it stopped playing politics
with history. As the
real
intentions of the BJP in raking up a
controversy about an American
“mole” in P.V. Narasimha
Rao’s
PMO become clear, Sonia Gandhi and
Prime . . .
Attack
On The Idea Of India
How
ironic that Tony Blair should be the
first major political leader to point
out that the nature of
our
Kashmir problem has changed.
Mountain
In The Molehill
Did you
notice that in the entire commotion
over the Jaswant Singh mole revelation
nobody talked
about
the one aspect which, if any at all,
should have mattered today? And it is
not so much as
to who
the mole was, but whether or not a
leakage did . . .
The
Bravest Of The Voices
In
an auditorium in Delhi, usually filled
with the sounds of classical music and
dance, I heard the
voices,
last week, of India’s poorest,
bravest, most exploited
citizens.
American
Claims And Questions Of Fact
Are the
United States' claims that Pakistan is
serious about fighting jihadi
terrorism directed at
India
plausible?
Silent
Partitions
The
divisions caused by decades of
communal strife are partly responsible
for the terror in Mumbai.
Harnessing
Hate
Lashkar
terrorist Syed Abdul Karim `Tunda' has
vanished after the Mumbai explosions,
but his
legacy
refuses to disappear.
"Germany's
Michelangelo", Hitler's Favourite,
On Show
A
naked man with the body of a Greek
god, a textbook Aryan face and the
haircut of a Nazi foot
soldier.
A muscular warrior brandishing a
massive stone as he prepares for an
act of vengeance.
Tribes
Stranded As Sardar Sarovar Dam Drowns
Valley
Kishore
Solanki picks up a rock on the banks
of the swollen Narmada river,
gesturing towards land,
now
submerged, where once he grew enough
wheat and vegetables to make a
comfortable living.
The
House They All Built
The
Bharatiya Janata Party would not be
itself if it stopped playing politics
with history.
