The yellow race
The marked minority is an abiding motif in the history of hate. Whenever an ideology, or a faith, takes control over a people, the segregated other is the prime object of persecution. The Fuhrer's regime sought the Final Solution to establish the Aryan supremacy.
So far so good
So it is almost official. The group of ministers on insurance seems agreed on permitting foreign equity in insurance, with a cap of 26 per cent. The group would limit total overseas investment in this sector, including that by NRIs and overseas corporate bodies, to 40 per cent.
Shaping a shared future
Although we have only one earth, we have not yet reached the concept of one world. The polarisation of wealth and poverty, the asymmetrical power structure keeps us away from the cherished goal of a single world. The United Nations is seen by the marginalised as the source of a hope that will help us advance towards an equitable and sustainable global future.
