Given the Spiritual work done in India, collectively known as Sanatan Dharma, the level of nonsense that is perpetuated by the combination of Devotional Leverage and Intellectual Egotism is remarkable in its masochism and stink. For most part, what passes of as Devotion is nothing more than Deception. Very few are even capable of Devotion. Those... Read more

Pakistan is in a strange situation. On one side, its citizens are seeing their country move rapidly towards abyss, and on the other side, they – despite their opposition – cannot (or will not, at least completely) back the banishment and complete destruction of the Jehadi system. Jehad is not the product of some people, but a system. And this system is sustained by the mindset and an ethos. Unless the Jehadi system is tackled, the run to the abyss... Read more

Basically it argued that the Current account deficit was huge and likely to be... Read more

Let us look at some of the examples: This institutional malaise exists in the National Museum as well where, apparently,... Read more

There was a time in India when many were concerned about “Brain Drain” – i.e.; students leaving India and staying in the US to contribute to that economy. Lot of thoughts were thrown around to restrict that, but none was workable. And thank God, they weren’t! For, these very professionals and entrepreneurs from the US came back with knowledge, finances and skills to set up shop back in India when the economy was liberalized. The result has been a tremendous... Read more
