My compliments to UPA for keeping off Sri Lanka

Posted on May 20, 2009 by Pavan Gupta

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government must be complemented for helping the Sri Lankan government crush the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) movement. There was so much pressure on his government from their DMK allies to intervene but Dr Singh stood firm. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi is a crook [...]

Only poor people vote in India…

Posted on May 4, 2009 by Pavan Gupta

Rich do the rest, like counting the votes, analyzing the vote, putting the government in place and of course bitching about everything! Disgraceful is the word that comes to mind. Especially after 26/11 we thought South Bombay voters would come out in big numbers and repose the faith in our democratic process. But that was [...]

What has Sachin Pilot done for Dausa?

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Pavan Gupta

Go to Dausa, Rajasthan and see for yourself. My wife and I did go to Dausa on November 14, 2006. We were shocked to see the state of Dausa, the city and the district. It could be located in a country like Somalia; you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Sachin Pilot is the [...]

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Pavan Gupta

Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao and his administration had a profound impact on India’s image around the world. He was himself a consummate diplomat. Rao understood the importance of nation’s foreign policy and its impact on the domestic growth. He implemented his life-long agenda of unshackling the Indian economy. He was the first non [...]

BJP seems to have shot itself in the foot!

Posted on April 4, 2009 by Pavan Gupta

Bharatiya Janata Party has once again decided to play its Hindutva card for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in India. BJP which is part of a larger National Democratic Alliance had a 50-50 chance in 2004 general elections as an incumbent party. It was shocked when it was defeated because of its failure to look [...]
