Redefining the coalition
Coalitions are like poor relations who do not know how to live and when to die. India's experience with them is no better. In the past one decade, five coalition governments have collapsed. Even when they were alive, they breathed precariously. They met an untimely death because they did not know how to live.
Mapping the zone of prosperity
It is interesting that what looks like a radical idea from Delhi seems sensible at the field. When the late Rajiv Gandhi talked of regional cooperation and a somewhat activist policy with the leadership in Pakistan, Myanmar and even Central Asia, it was thought of by some as fairly idealistic.
Kalyan in his labyrinth
When Kalyan Singh came back to the helm in Uttar Pradesh on September 21, 1997, he was a hero for the BJP, not just in the state but in the country as well. Less than two years down the line, his detractors are baying for his blood, terming him as a villain.
