Janice Joplin used to sing of freedom as “…nothing left to lose.” Is that what it means to be free? Or is that the state of mind that is needed to put everything on the line, and to venture forth in search of freedom?



The framers of the U.S.… Continue

Listening to Mahmoud Abbas and Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations today, I am overwhelmed by more than a glimmer of hope because I believe that if we can agree on the goals, we can achieve them together.



Both extend their hands in peace:

Abbas to the Israeli people - "We extend our hands to the Israeli government and the Israeli people for peace-making."

Netanyahu to the Palestinian people - "I extend my hand to the Palestinian people, with whom we seek a just and…

China's boost is not the case of growing character of capitalism rather moribund world capitalism got a lease of life in china discovering the untapped market, cheap labour force, government provided infrastructural facilities, soft terms and conditions and above all government protection to the interests of the foreign investors.

We, the common people of India (irrespective of caste, creed and language) who got mobilized to make the country free from British raj, achieved a level of culture and ideology of sacrifice for the nation. We also achieved some rights that are to some extent incorporated in the Constitution of our country. Over the years of post-independence period all such powers/rights of the people are tactfully being snatched gradually (through amendments of the Constitution) justifying sustainability of… Continue

Only a day… Continue
