With the advent of time and hyper paced globalization; regional languages will die out sooner than later. We have to embrace English as the link language because all computers are based on English. Reviving Indian languages can only be done at academic levels - viz. schools and universities. All...

Absolutely correct! Some politicians are hell bent on keeping people uneducated to ensure votes, and even worse, feed the plebeians with misinformation. Even though a lot of funds are being sent for education it goes into the pockets of the corrupt. This has to stop! Only when 100% of people are...

True, we are heavily dependent on oil from the Gulf countries which are the closest in distance from India. We must remember the recent brouhaha of India buying oil from Iran. That's why India cannot afford to upset the cart with the Middle East by supporting Israel in all matters. Import of...

How long will we take our begging bowl to a nation that once colonized us, looted all our wealth and dealt with our citizens with extreme savagery? Well we have come full circle and buying their iconic car factories(Jaguar Land Rover) and our citizens have become some of the wealthiest people...

Winston Churchill once said that it is better to jaw, jaw, jaw instead of war, war, war, that’s what we have been doing. Luckily we have a democratic set up rather than the hawkish military who always want war just to satisfy their male ego. Well we have been keeping peace so far despite intense...

There is no doubt about it; the economy of India is going to increase in leaps and bounds. The only link missing is implementation of economic vision. Politics is no doubt the biggest business. There is a huge amount of money coming in from the center under various different clauses; but almost...

Remembering our freedom fighters That's the trouble: So many patriots who gave their yesterday for today; no one remembers their names. Ask any one in Delhi about what INA stands for and the usual reply will be its some kind of market. Memory is short. Read the history books in any state and...

The December 2012 gang rape is sign for shame! I am seriously annoyed that the rapists weren't given hanged to death punishment. The innocent girl lost her life with cruelty imposed on her mentally and physically then why not the culprits? In fact, after the incident there have been so many...
