(1)There are three realities about India that we must remember, and it
is sometimes worth reminding the government about them.
 first, india is vibrant democracy with a constitutionally guaranteed
right to free speech and liberty. second, despite
 out problem india's democratic model is an aspirational one for many
countries of the world.(source-hindustan times

(2)This state visit is an opportunity to make up for lost time. New
delhi needs to realize that a serious engagement with
 Myanmar will have to work at several levels. First, India's greatest
assest is its civil society, including its private
 corporate sector. Second, the constitutional issues regarding
Mynammar's ethnic patchwork are as difficult as the
 military-civilian relations. Third, there must be recognition that
the nature of upper Burma, with its similarities to
 India's North-east, law and order problems and its land-basedd
connectivity, would require a set of policies different
 from Lower Burma.(source-hindustan times Saturday, May 26,2012)

(3)The brouhhaha spawned by the revelation that the army cheift
General VK signh was offfered 14 crore as a quid pro quo
   for sanctioning substandard equipment brings to the fore a fatal
flaw that continues to dog our cognitive thought process;
  a debilitating defect that blurs out logical acuity and thwarts out
ability to arrive at a fruitful decesion. Analyse the
  trajectory of thee debate in the wake of hte briberty controvery:
first, the congress spokesman skirts the mam issue and responds
   with a countercharge in an attempt to deflect on the general
himself by questioning his inertia in pursuing  the matter. Second,
   the General's integrity is questioned by emphasising the timing of
his allegation and its temporal relationship to his birth date
    controversy.(source-hindustan times Saturday, April 02,2012)

(4)As India fulminates after a 16-year-old student was slapped,
dragged, groped and stripped on Guwahati street last week, it is clear
this
  abdomination is not about one woman against a mob of opportunistic,
brutel men. This is a story of a dangerous decline in Indians and
India
  itself, of not just failing morality but disintegrating public
governance when it comes to women. First, the moral failures of
emerging India.
  The girl fails every test of the hypocrisy that governs public
logic, she goes to a bar, she gets into an argument with some men,
possibly
   shaming a man trying to film her, she walks out alone. The mob
outside passes every test of public immortality: on the shamed man's
urging,
   men-seemingly normal men with jobs and no criminal records-drag the
girl by her hair onto the street; many watch, no one intervenes,
except
   for an older man, 20men join assault. A journalist at the scene,
perhaps the same man who bickered with her, instead of calling the
police,
   calls in a camera crew. The girl is barely home before her trauma
is broadcast on television.
            Second, the governance failure. The first calls to a local
police station go unanswered, and the station house officer is
suspended
   for dereliction of duty but only after national attention. The
search for suspects does not get underway after the broadcast of the
assault.
