Making a Splash:
Saraunjha's Water Babies
by Manisha Prakash 
On a hot summer day, Madhusudan Pandit, 42, a homoeopathy practitioner in Saraunjha village of Begusarai district in Bihar blows his whistle as a command to Payal, his daughter, to take another lap in the River Balan. Meet Payal Pandit, 12, a state swimming champion in the Under-19 category. As she practices her butterfly stroke, curious villagers stare at this girl, clad in a swimming costume...Read On

Race, Mendacity, Power Lust and Idiocy 
There is no such construct as race in biology despite the overwhelming obsession with it in American life and politics. A white stallion does not think of a black mare as an inferior species. Black jaguars or melanotic butterflies mingle and mate with lighter ones without reservation or discrimination. Skin color based discrimination in humans has socioeconomic and political origins. The fear of darkness...  Read on

Basis for China-Tibet Accord
by Rajinder Puri
Is there any real prospect of an amicable China-Tibet settlement? If the leaders in Beijing were a little less sensitive about saving face, and the Dalai Lama just a little more accommodating than he has already been, a settlement might be on the cards. The hurdle of full independence for Tibet has already been surmounted, thanks to the Dalai Lama's unequivocal acceptance of autonomy within China. What remains to be settled is the quantum of autonomy. Read On

Indian Communists Pursue Separate
Foreign Policy by Dr. Subhash Kapila
The hallmark of a powerful nation is bipartisan foreign policies and especially in contiguous regions where its national security interests are most at stake. In the case of India under the Congress-led Government the opposite is more seen in operation. Read On

Indians in Afghanistan – Perils of
Regional Politics by Col. Rahul K. Bhonsle 
Indian presence in Afghanistan came under pressure during April on many fronts. The first was an attack on the Indian road construction team in Nimroz province on 12 April killing two Border Roads Organization personnel, while an Indian citizen, Sarang Mohammed Naeem, working for Dubai-based HEB International Logistics was kidnapped in Herat on 21 April.  

Auspicious Signs of IPL Stirring
Community Feeling
by Shylashri Shankar
Everyone agrees that the Indian Premier League (IPL) has produced a fine spectacle but disagrees on whether it is good or bad for cricket. Film star brand ambassadors like Akshay Kumar and owners like Shah Rukh Khan and Preeti Zinta, the Washington Redskin cheerleaders and others provide the glamour and glitz to the three-hour cricket spectacle staged in the arena. Will the IPL produce a Roman spectacle, a fierce locally held identity that could spark hooliganism of the European football league variety, or a more diffuse community that spurs qualities of good citizenship?

Kashmir 'Packages'
–  When Will They Ever Learn?
by Ashok Jaitly 
 
Nothing epitomizes the quiescence of the powers that be in New Delhi towards the sensibilities of people of Jammu and Kashmir better than the cynical 'packages' handed out during every prime ministerial visit. Despite the hype created by the state's Congress-PDP government, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit ... Read On

Government May Have to Pay High Price
for Rising Prices by Sushma Ramachandran
With prices rising relentlessly at the rate of over seven percent per annum, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seems to have been gripped with an air of quiet desperation. Read On

A Case for the Soldier by Kusum Choppra
When Morarji Desai was Prime Minister of India, he had occasion to visit the Northeast where he addressed a public meeting in Hindi. He was reported to be highly pleased with the response he got from the crowd which periodically shouted “Gumba, Gumba”, with raised fists, in response to his promises of ... and roads. Read On

A New Dawn in Nepal
by Ramesh Menon 
A couple of years ago it would have been almost unimaginable that Nepal torn by internal conflict and violence by Maoists would dump monarchy to embrace democracy. Nepal today has the distinction of being a nation that has got Maoists who rode to power not with the barrel of a gun, but with the use of  the ballot box. Read On

Leadership and Integrity: A Lesson from Kathasaritsagar 
by Satya Chaitanya 
Ancient Indian literature abounds in invaluable lessons in leadership, though the concept of leadership was usually that of the king as the leader. Since for our ancestors dharma was one of the most important preoccupations, especially in relation to leadership, our literature has numerous stories that talk of the importance of dharma for a king, ...

Robotic 'Poorams' by J. Ajithkumar 
Global warming has started taking its toll in the least expected scenarios. The increasing cases of pachyderms going berserk and killing people during temple festivals (poorams) in Kerala is a direct result of increasing heat conditions. Read On

India has Failed to Provide Basic Entitlements to its People by K V Venkatasubramanian

Water Pollution: Maladies and Remedies by Naira Yaqoob
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see. A saying that we heard in the past as a mere quote has turned into the very stark reality of the present. Everybody knows that pollution refers to the contamination of the environment with harmful and undesirable wastes. Pollution has now become at par with the conventional crimes. Read On

On the Trail of Retreating Glaciers by VK Joshi 
'Global temperatures are rising', 'glaciers are melting' such news captions catch our attention faster. Like crime news they make great reading, yet we cannot do anything about the phenomenon. We are helpless readers. Some vociferous ones make a hue and cry and end up blaming the governments or the society. Well the glaciers are retreating, but are we competent to stop their retreat?

Fish When the Chips Are Down
by Prakriiti Gupta
Early in the morning, after a simple breakfast of Kahwa (Kashmiri tea) and bread, scores of Kashmiri fisherwomen, or 'Gaad'e Waajni', make their way to the Amirakadal Bridge, the unofficial fish market of Srinagar. A common thought plays on their minds: to quickly sell off the day's catch. Read On

Fight that Sinking Feeling

Mam, May I Go To The Toilet?
by Vijita Fernando 
Until recently, the UN slogan "2008 the Year of Sanitation" did not hold any significance for the poor men and women in the remote rural areas of Sri Lanka. For them procuring clean drinking water was the only priority.  Meanwhile, their means of defecation and sanitation continued to be primitive, unhygienic ...Read On
