By Shyam Khosla

The whistle-blower website, WikiLeaks, revealed that the dynasty’s heir-apparent made this reprehensible statement in a conversation with the U S Ambassador Timothy Roemer on July 20, 2009 …

By Shyam Khosla
No one should take Congress General Secretary, Digvijay Singh’s hugely controversial and embarrassing conspiracy theories as off the cuff remarks of a frustrated politician. His proximity to Sonia Gandhi and the Congress party’s flip flop on his disgusting outbursts are good enough reasons to take this congenital liar seriously.  This column has more than once pointed out that he is an unofficial spokesman of the Congress President Sonia Gandhi and the “crown prince” Rahul Gandhi’s mentor. His ridiculous and scandalous statements …

INDIA’S EMERGENCE AS A GLOBAL POWER
By Shyam Khosla
Countless fault-lines have prevented India from growing to its potential during the past six decades and more. Absence of robust political leadership, lack of vision to evolve a genuine Indian paradigm of development in tune with our genius and needs of modern times; absence of political consensus over a long-term strategy to fight separatist elements, Maoist violence and Islamist terror; intellectual disdain for our civilizational and cultural values and ethos; distorted version of secularism and pervasive corruption in all walks of life are …

Opinions are sharply divided over this sensitive issue.  Most regional parties – DMK, SP, RJD, JD (U) – are for it and have been building pressure on the Government to include a caste column in the Census operation 2011. Their argument is that caste is a reality and can’t be ignored. Sharad Yadav argues that caste is a political tool …
