(1)This will lead to a paradoxical situation where poor muslim or christian students. the most deserving among the minorities, will be able to access RTE quotes in the schools run by
Hindus but not by their own community. indeed, the vast, vast majority of students in minority schools could be fee paying non-minorities.(source-

(3)The informal dinner in Brussels recently showed that many European leader are convinced a political compromise has to be found to stimulate growth and save Greece, the eurozone markets
and, indeed, the whole sigle market, so crucial to our economies.(source-hindustan times Saturday, May 26,2012)
(4)No intelligence organisation in the world is blameless or has not had it share of errors of judgement. Indeed, there is no organisation in the world of any kind that has not made worse
mistake but in our country the principle of negativity is so strong, especially at present.(source-Hindustan Times Tuesday May 22, 2012)
(5)It is not uncommon for those protesting against the sins of
omission or commission by governments to make themselves head
in prominent places. Indeed, we have witnesssed many such
demonstrations across the world, be it by students protesting hikes in
fee as in England or excesses of profligate stockbrokers and
banker4s as in the Occupy Wall Street one.

(6)In an emotionally surcharged and polarised polity, even riot
politics can become a zero-sum game. Son any television debate on
Gujrat
2002 must necessarily draw an analogy to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Failure to do so opens one to the charge of bias and worse. Indeed,
what unites every riots is the constant search for the 'enemy'. In
1984, the assasination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards led
to the labelling of every Sikh as an anti-nationnal. In 2002, the
killing of kar sevaks in the Sabarmati Express created a desire to
seek
revenge for the act by singling oout every Muslim in Gujrat as a 'terrorist'.

(7)Those of you who have been saying that the post of the governer is
ornamental and should be done way with should be ashamed of
yourselves. Every now and again, these stalwarts come up with gems
on how to make us and our politicians better people. Karnataka's
governer HR Bhardwaj has come up with a plan of ensuring that our
politics become good leaders. It is simple, you donot read up on the
Constitution or work tirelessly for the downtrodden. No, you should
simply give up drinking. Indeed, Mr Bhardwaj had reached these heights
after his wife read him the riot act on drinking.(source-Hindustan

(8)The judgement of the special court in Ahmedabad convicting 32
people for their role in the Naroda-Patiya massacre should help heal
the
wounds of the Muslim Community. It should also bolster their
resolve to secure justice through methods neither illegal nor
destructive.
yet the verdict is not likely to diminish the fear the community has
about majority communalism, not persuade them to believe that the
horror of Gujrat will never revisit them. Indeed, the very nature of
restorative justice makes it imperative that the impulse for it
should emanate from society.(source-Hindustan Times Wednesday,

(9)Mulayam singh yadav's double game-bullying the government for its
controversial economic meausres but at the same time allowing it
to survive on the plea of fighting communal forces-may come a
cropper. Unfortunately for Mayawati, although she did give the UPA
1 regime a real scare, her plan misfired. The government's
wheeler-dealer armed with vast financial resouces managed to buy up
stragglers mostly in the BJP and NDA to make up the numbers in the
Lok Sabha and sailed through confidence vote.
She never recovered from this setback. Indeed, her thwarted
obsesssion to be the PM led her to neglect the more vital task of
governing UP and she paid for this dearly with her party's
disappointing performance in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. This, in turn,
affected her political stature in the state and a few years later
Mayawati crashed to an ignominious defeat in the assembly polls.
