Price of integrity
It is outrageous that the Pune Municipal Commissioner has been transferred from his post within one week for no other reason than that he was doing his duty. As swelling popular protests against the sudden transfer attest, the IAS officer, Arun Bhatia, was acting in the public interest and in accordance with law.
Pitfalls of triumph
The resignation of Gurcharan Singh Tohra as president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) should put an end to the ongoing intra-party tussle in the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
The teflon generation
There was a time when people spoke about 'India' and 'Bharat', ruing the fact that policy-makers and planners have not invested sufficient time and money in regions that exist on the nation's periphery, not just the geographical periphery but the social and psychological periphery.
