Manmohan Singh as President and "Target Modi"

Last updated on: June 13, 2012 at 5:38 pm By Desh Kapoor

Mulayam Singh and Mamata Bannerjee have suggested new names to replace Pranab Mukherjee. And the biggest surprise is Dr. Manmohan Singh. Why would they do so? Interestingly, First Post has come up with interesting direction of where the things are going, based on some facts: Mamata Bannerjee brought out Somnath Chatterjee’s name to spite CPM a party whose veteran Chatterjee was, but parted ways on Nuclear issue. Mulayam Singh Yadav is “warming up to Congress”. Neither of the two could... Read more

Is Pakistan Hurtling to its Ruin?

Last updated on: June 12, 2012 at 3:24 pm By Desh Kapoor

Where is Pakistan going? Towards assured ruin I would suggest. Consider the events: A major terrorist attack happens on Indian soil – Mumbai in November 2008, perpetrated and organized by some senior Intelligence and Army officials – both retired and serving. The world watches in horror. Pakistan denies any link. David Headley is caught, who was probably a “double agent”, and out come details of involvement of the Army establishment. The information is spilled in US. 2011 Osama bin Laden,... Read more

Indian Private Players push for larger share in Defense Equipment Sector

Last updated on: June 11, 2012 at 1:45 pm By Desh Kapoor

India’s billionaires have a new industry focus these days. Defense Equipment. As India’s focus shifts from Pakistan to China as the main enemy and its status as the counter-balancing force in Asia, Indian Government is looking at substantial investments in Defense. And Private players – local ones – will be an important part of the equation. They already are – 10% of the spending – mainly as sub-contractors to the PSUs.

S&P Revises Outlook on India as it dings Congress and its policies (or lack of them)

Last updated on: June 11, 2012 at 1:12 pm By Desh Kapoor

The news Standards & Poors report is pointing to a lowering of India’s credit rating. Suggesting tha India may be the first BRIC country to lose the investment grade rating and is at an inflexion point, the report asks three questions. Are India’s years of rapid GDP growth over? Will India go backwards in its economic policies and undo some of the progress it made to liberalise the economy since the early 1990s? Is there a risk that economic liberalization... Read more

Teacher in Chennai School Punished for Reciting "Hindu Prayer"

Last updated on: June 9, 2012 at 1:40 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a school in Anna Nagar, Chennai – a chemistry teacher started reciting a prayer in the morning assembly as the kids of Class XIIth were gearing up for the exams. First some teachers went and switched off the microphone, but the teacher continued, even more fervently, probably to compensate for the lack of loudspeaker. But that wasn’t the end of things. She was suspended for ‘manhandling and misbehaviour’. Why? Because she was reciting a “Hindu Prayer”. Is the school a... Read more

When you nourish a monster as a cannibal, one day he might want to eat you up. That is the situation between Jehadis and Pakistan establishment.

Well, Obama this week said something that seemed off color and double entendre, which some people – specially women – aren’t taking.. well… lying down.

Last updated on: June 4, 2012 at 11:21 pm By Desh Kapoor

On June 3rd, the second round of the new war of independence – this time from Internal Corruption – started as Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare, two self-less contributors to Indian society came together. In the last couple of decades as India’s economy was shinning, the corrupt and the unscrupulous politicians have come together to loot, nay plunder, the country.
