indicates how state intervention has, thus far, failed.
over the last two years, Hinduastan Times and Mint reporters have,
as part of the 'Tracking hunger' project,
documented how india's anti-poverty programmes are deeply rotten,

(3)The inability of the education bureucracy to handle the new system
is evident. For instance, we have seen the recent
confusion over the attendance regulations and the bizzare case of
marks being decreased. Incidentally, the decrease and
subsequent "retification" of marks has an interesting sideshow. Thus,
at a practical level, the implementation
of these new initiatives is likely to cause immense choas since it
would mean dealing with new systems and paradigms
with ancient tools.(source-Hinsutan Times Wednesday may 07, 2012)
(4)When dialogue and mutual understanding are not evolved and worked
at every day, then the stage is set for nasty
surprises. Thus, the domestic work sector is in need of urgent
reforms.(source-Hinsutan Times Wednesday may 07, 2012)
(5)Domestic business have been pressuring the central bank for a rate
cut, blaming high borrowing costs for slowing
investment that has pulled down growth. "Estimates suggest that
real effective bank leading interest, though positive,
remain comparatively lower than the levels seen during the high
growth phase of 2003-2008." Thus, it implied that
factors other than interest rates were contributing more
significantly to the growth slowdown.

(7)Yet there is just not enough time to verify the authencity of the
intelligence given. So what does the intelligence
agency do? It passes this on, with whatever caveat attached,
because if the intelligence is withheld for confirmation
and turns out to be accurate with devastating consequences, then this
would be graver failure. Thus, faced with such
a situation, not only is an intelligence agency adviced to report
it, it is mandatory that it should continue to do so
in the future.(source-Hindustan Times Tuesday May 22, 2012)
(8)As the war moves towards its denouement, India should consider
offering advice to the opposition on how to hold elections-
something it has done in Egypt. Elections will be particularly
important for a Syria with so many disparate groups all
claiming to be represent the vox populi. It will help move
legitimacy from bullets to ballots. If Damascus, Cairo and
Baghdad emerge as centres of democratic rule, the impact on the
Islamic world would be considerable. This would have a
virtuous ripple effect influencing even Muslims in South Asia and
thus, helping ease India's own sectarian concerns.

Therefore, in a multicultural polity liek ours, new institutions

changes within communities. These could be either borrowed from
other Muslim countries, interpreted from the Koran or
formulated according to our needs. Thus, multiculturalism is a
challenge that must be dealth with on an urgent basis.
