There has been a lot of media space devoted to the recent remarks by Kushboo and Suhasini…
The level of intolerance exhibited by the few unruly demonstrators is appalling. Mr. Ramodoss and the PMK(and DPI etc etc) seem to have the gift of generating controversies out of nothing. The violent behavior on the streets is beyond [...]

It was raining and the reporter was drenched. He was literally gasping for breath…he had been there all day long,”Breaking” the news. ‘The Action’ had been absorbing and draining. The whole country was hooked on to this story..or so he thought. A little extra from the reporter would have made the whole thing sound like [...]

Gandhi and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Posted in Indian Politics on October 21, 2005 | 2 Comments »
That Gandhi was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is something that has always puzzled me. It is common sense that the Peace Prize has its own political overtones . So, the guess would be that it was due to political reasons. Surely, Gandhi not getting the Nobel matters very little to us… . but [...]

After the Advani episode, there has been a lot of writing on these issues in many Indian newspapers and magazines.
