Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 6:03 pm By Desh Kapoor

If you are an Indian or Chinese student, the chances are you are discriminated when it comes to College Admissions in the US. This is being proved by repeated studies and also from the complaints against some premier colleges like Harvard and Princeton. The explanations offered try their best to give a spin. In a book titled “No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal”, Princeton sociologist, Thomas Espenshade. makes a startling observation; If all other credentials are equal, Asian-Americans need to...

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 4:55 pm By Desh Kapoor

Brazil has a strange law, where the Brazilian teenagers have to study philosophy because it is necessary for the exercise of citizenship. It is by far one of the most important experiment in preparing an entire society for deliberate and intelligent democratic engagement. Generally countries these day and populations don’t like the Government mandated curriculum impacts. But sometimes, certain things can help. Philosophy is intangible and something that doesn’t give “monetary value” to a student in his/her career and life.... Read more

How Western Classical Music is being kept alive by Far East

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 3:54 pm By Desh Kapoor

The American Classical music scene is a strange and interesting game of musical chairs when it comes to the audiences. The White American audience, which predominated the classical music halls is dispropotionately older (45-54 yrs). And as this older generation moves out due to death, disease to non-attendance – a newer color and type of audience takes over. The Asians. Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans specifically in this case. Even though the entire area from the Middle East to Indonesia is... Read more

Attorney General Goolam Vahanvati – the Unknown Hand in 2G scam

Last updated on: February 7, 2012 at 12:46 pm By Desh Kapoor

Goolam Vahanvati is the first Muslim Attorney General of India. And if, what is being said is true of him, he might be the most corrupt. If A. Raja the Telecom Minister is the one who has been behind the bars because of being made the “poster boy” of the 2G scam, then P. Chidambaram and Dr. Singh were the backbone of the entire episode. However, Vahanvati is the real deal-sealer for the corrupt trio of Raja-Chidambaram-Singh. As the special report by... Read more

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 3:40 am By Desh Kapoor

A lot is talked about India’s market and the potential for startups. Many have been started and many have succeeded, but numerous – disproportionally large numbers have failed. And failed miserably.

Last updated on: February 2, 2012 at 6:37 pm By Desh Kapoor

These days in India, if we have any schools making it important to learn Sanskrit, it would raise a huge hue and cry, specially amongst the Seculars. But it takes a school in New Zealands Auckland to come up with a curriculum to learn Sanskrit. And they have laid it out very clearly why it is so important for Kiwi kids to learn Sanskrit. (Hat Tip: Shaas Ruzicka) Mind you, the school says in an earlier answer that it looks... Read more
