Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 8:23 pm By Desh Kapoor

India is an interesting country. So, someone wants to come to the country, but some people aren’t thrilled about that. They go and threaten with violence. The Government, instead, of making sure these elements do NOT threaten the law and order and clearly tell them to not break any law or else – disallows the person to come in. That is the jist of Congress’ reply to Salman Rushdie. How can one expect a Government which acts like this to... Read more

China, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar – The Future and Past Follies of India’s Foreign Policy in its Neighborhood

Last updated on: January 25, 2012 at 1:44 pm By Desh Kapoor

Slowly and gradually and under the very nose of India, Nepal is becoming a vassal state of China. Maoists took over the country and reversed its status as a Hindu State. And now, there is serious talk in that Government of abandoning the special status treaty with India. Because, they want to hedge their bets with China as well. The nexus of Pakistanis and Jehadis – backed by ISI – and China is too strong in Nepal to ignore. The... Read more

Indian Prime Minister is now on Twitter

Last updated on: January 24, 2012 at 11:40 am By Desh Kapoor

The Indian PM is now on Twitter. So, if you want to have a close conversation with him, you can tweet him your mind. GIven his reticent nature he had tweeted only thrice on the first day and garnered 7000 followers already. I am assuming a lot of them were from the PMO office itself 🙂 “The Prime Minister’s office is now on Twitter @PMOIndia Thank you for your support,” Manmohan Singh’s newly appointed communications advisor Pankaj Pachauri said on...

Last updated on: January 24, 2012 at 2:18 am By Desh Kapoor

Physical appearance is one thing, Salman Rushdie, in an India which is a free democracy – is not even welcome in a virtual form. Salman Rushdie isn’t welcome at the Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF) in any form, not even virtually.
