Sumit Rana every surface presents it’s unique challenges and I personally feel it is ridiculous to glorify one surface by quoting just 5 (though gr8) players! too much generalization!!! Anant Maheshwari Anyone, be it from Brazil or India, would do. IMF’s been far too narrow and flinching in it’s support to developing countries. Maybe with an individual from a developing country, they get the required quota, without too many restrictions. On articles Lalit Good to know that even Indian Cricket Bodies like IPL can fine foreign players otherwise whenever a foreign player/players makes blunders in india, our authoroties seems to be hiding,hushing up the matter thinking country’s reputation but its totally different when indian player do a minor mistake in foreign soil and get penalized for it. No doubt Mr. Modi is the Brand maker but i Dont understand what special he would have done here in tournament. Shane warne definitely cant decide the pitch, Authoroties would do this job. He has commited his mistake and he is paying for it. Posted on Warne commits ultimate sin, says IPL missing Modi Ramakar choudhary But when system understands that the concept they have chosen is wrong they just throw them out in dustbin same as lalu or mulayam were thrown away by the voters.There is something that public want above their caste or religion or race and that is justice;growth and a secured future. Posted on The anatomy of a political lie: Rahul vs. Bhardwaj Madhu The Pakistanis will soon see the real face of China……the Chinese can never ever replace US in any world stage…. Posted on Bhai-bhai spirit won’t earn Pak a blank cheque Ray …any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China” (from The News).. - by a Pakistani newspaper really takes the cake - indicating that Pakistan’s sovereignty is already owned by China, just like Tibet, Taiwan and Hongkong. Posted on Bhai-bhai spirit won’t earn Pak a blank cheque from China Ranjit Hota The main reason of migration is unequal distribution of Industries and biased policy of our leaders and the great bureaucrats. India has 28 states and 7 Union Territory why there are only 8 Metros in 7 states. Posted on Pune, Ahmedabad are Indias booming metros Karthik Kumar Well got give the Pakistanis credit for one thing. Even when they go around begging for Dollars from US or China, they do it with Chtuzpah and Elan rather than Humility. That is TALENT!! P_osted on Bhai-bhai spirit won’t earn Pak a blank cheque from China_ vkasiffco it is nothing. if u compare with kalmadi. raja ,lalu etc. in realsense property of each politician should be brought to the knowledge of people. and they should be asked the source of that property. we will remain poor unless this situation change. thanks for editors Posted on Jagan Reddy, India’s richest politician, lied to EC on assets Rappillai This shows why ethics should be at the top of any education ; all others ,science , business even in Ivy league etc are mere technical stuff . But decision making is all about using the technical stuff within the ethical overview. Indian education is all about the technical stuff with very little emphasis on ethics and wisdom. No wonder, yesterday’s Indian wonder boy is reduced to fighting insider trading charges Posted on The incredibly tangled web that Rajat Gupta wove Mithun Minissha Lamba is in the news. Who would’ve wagered that? Her publicist, that’s who. Good job, hack. Posted on FP exclusive! Minissha Lamba walks out of Mumbai airport Amar “.. a virtual admission that the young Gandhi was shooting his mouth off.” Oh! He is young no more, but his actions are definitely juvenile. One can only hope that the man tipped to be future PM does not become and embarrassment to India on the world scene. Posted on Rahul’s farce hogs spotlight, farmers pushed into background Siddharth Shankaran There is no other way to handle this, than to make PDS Universal ( with conditionalities of course). The bumper harvest has created a problem of plenty, and this is best time the government can go ahead with the universalisation concept. For Naysayers, Tamilnadu and Kerala are one of the best examples of the benefits of an Universla PDS. MGNREGA will take time and deliberation however , to check the inefficiencies. The enitre model has to be relooked, and a greater partcipation for local NGOs in audits should be encouraged to check the leaks. However, a socially acceptable structure has to be put in place as well and one can only hope that successive improvements will acheive that wished for goal. Posted on Great vanishing act: 60% PDS foodgrain lost in transit Sujit Guha Wonder how much public humiliation it will take for Pakistan to call it quits with dabbling with cross-border terrorism. I am sure they will be in denial mode about everything that comes out of the trial. Posted on Jury selected in Mumbai attack trial of Rana in Chicago Kapilsingh2005 HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA HA HA Is this the country going to be SUPER POWER in year 2020 claimed by many???? i can only smile…. First we need to recreate all laws… 1000’s of loop holes in each law… Posted on RIL funnels money and business to Mukesh’s private companies Outraged What are the independent directors on RIL doing? Isn’t it their job to stop looting of the company by one or some of the directors/promoters. This is a familiar malady in all Indian companies where the promoters siphons off wealth from the public limited company to entities owned by him privately. Independent directors are there primarily to protect the minority share holders’ interests. If they don’t do that they should be prosecuted by SEBI or the Ministry of Corporate affairs.
