8pm Wrap: The day's news and analysis

• What or who hassled Ratan Tata on Thursday? Or why annual general meetings are becoming annual grievance meetings? Sample what Tata had to face at the Tata steel AGM, agenda aside. •  Read why Cognizant, called the dark horse of Indian outsourcing, is in a position to overtake India's second biggest software exporter Infosys . Increasing revenues are just one part of the explanation. Attitude and strategy have set it up for a win. [caption id="" align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“The Indian Parliament, immune to food inflation. Reuters”][/caption] • Today was also a bad press day for Yashwant Sinha. He would have thought he did a stellar job in Parliament yesterday, and we agree. He was at his articulate best and the quality of the debate over inflation was impressive and has done much to bring our faith back in parliamentary debates. • But our business writer thinks his job argument against more that 51 percent FDI in retail is flawed. Here are the many reasons why. • That’s not all, he also let “go — in the name of god” slip, telling the UPA, if it couldn’t tackle high inflation. Our writer doesn’t question his grievance, but the new tenor he has acquired . Knee-kerk reaction as opposed to reasoned articulation is no becoming of Mr Sinha. • And talking of inflation, the Parliament is clearly immune to it. Refer to the Parliament canteen rate card. •  Continuing our coverage of global hacking since yesterday, on most victims of Chinese hacking, living in mortal fear of invoking China’s name . • Today we argued that while hackers leave childish messages on websites as they thump their chests, real cyber criminals are making the Internet a much more dangerous place than it used to be . • In the middle of this all, a McAfee report saying there is little to indicate that significant changes over digital protection will be enacted by companies and governments worldwide. • Dhoni’s fall from grace. Is he’s just a man manager, not a leader, some question. Our writer thinks , “Dhoni, more than in captaincy has to deliver in batting. A performing captain always makes a positive leader.” Anyway, it’s too early to write him off. • It’s about time the BCCI owned up to its mistakes, if it can get past its arrogance. The world’s best team deserve an itinerary that will not push them towards failure. Here's hoping the BCCI agrees.
