Justice in tatters
The prime minister has been unusually outspoken in his criticism of delays in the judicial system and rightly so. Justice is jammed in the works. A monstrous number of cases is pending in courts around the country.
Anything to declare?
When an institution meant to monitor crimes of evasion and commission committed at the very gateway to the nation, itself gets transmogrified into a gateway to corruption, something is terribly wrong.
The army is king
The military takeover in Pakistan has focussed Indian attention on that country. A group of us from New Delhi had an opportunity to visit Lahore after the coup for second-track talks which, fortuitously, had been arranged some months ago.
