India-Pakistan Peace : Now or Never?
by Rajinder Puri
Home Minister Chidambaram has delayed visiting Pakistan to discuss 26/11. The SAARC summit is postponed. Meanwhile India’s Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao had contacted her Pakistani counterpart for a foreign secretary-level meeting. That meeting later this month will precede the SAARC summit. It is a good sign. Substantive issues need to be cleared before tackling terror. Quite possibly US urging to both governments behind the curtain has been at work. Read On
London, Obama and Taliban
by Uddipan Mukherjee 
An exit-strategy from Afghanistan is an imperative for Obama. Karzai has come up with such a solution at the recently concluded conference in London. Analysts have argued regarding its viability. Whatever happens, it appears that the Taliban would emerge as the ‘real gainer’. Read On
President Abdullah Gul:
A Distinguished Visitor from Turkey
by K. Gajendra Singh
There was this young man, with 1960s Turkish matinee idol looks, smiling to attract my attention, in that throng of media and TV cameramen around us. Suddenly the penny dropped. Yes, a few weeks earlier while I had a few drinks at my First secretary's flat in Ankara, he sipped lemon water. He was very keen to meet with me. So, I now went over and shook his hands. That was in 1992. Read On
Dr. Indira Parthasarathy:
A Titan In The World Of Modern Tamil Letters
by V. Sundaram
Dr. Parthasarathy has been decorated with the title of Padma Shri by the President of India on the eve of this year’s Republic Day on 26 January, 2010. As an outstanding novelist, he has written several novels in TAMIL that have been translated into several Indian and world languages. He has carved a special niche for himself in Tamil literature - his characters, mostly urban intellectuals, speak very openly and analyze deeply what others say. Read On
Chai and Cha-Cha-Cha
in Changing China
by Rajesh Talwar
After my stay in Hong Kong I had only a few days of vacation remaining, which I wished to use to visit mainland China. I had an option to catch a train to Shenzhen, and then go on ahead towards Shanghai. Alternatively I could fly to Beijing and spend my time there.  I decided to fly to Beijing. Shanghai, I was certain would be similar to Hong Kong. Read On
Hunting Adivasis in Mineral Corridor
by Gladson Dungdung
Naxalites are our stray brothers and sisters therefore we will address the issues of Naxalism through dialogues”. These are the holy words of Jharkhand Chief Minister Sibu Soren, who repeatedly told us even after swearing in as the guard of the state for 3rd time. However, the unbearable pressure from the central government and the corporate houses made him completely helpless. Read On
PM’s Cosmetic Anti-Corruption Code
by Rajinder Puri
The Union Government has updated its Code of Conduct for all central and state ministers in its effort to check corruption. All ministers must annually disclose to the Prime Minister or to the Chief Minister their “assets and liabilities” and “business interests” of their own and of their families by a prescribed date. In the prevailing context of widespread institutionalized corruption to place hope on voluntary disclosure as a check against corruption is laughable. Read On

Mumbai is for all Indians
then Why Not Kashmir?
by Dr. Subhash Kapila
Kashmir is an integral part of India like all other princely States ruled by Indian royalty which acceded to India on the departure of the British from India. Not only that, there exists a Special Resolution of Parliament unanimously passed that the status of the State of Jammu and Kashmir is non-negotiable. This implies that no Indian Govt can enter into any negotiations with any entity to discuss the future of J&K State as a disputed territory. Yet we find the last two Indian Governments acquiescing to discuss the future of J&K State with Pakistan under external pressure. Read On
Nepal: Light at the End of the Tunnel
by Col. Rahul K. Bhonsle
2010 has begun on an auspicious note for Nepal and after a long time there are some signs of hope in a country wracked by political instability for many months now. On 07 January the first batch of more than 200 former child soldiers with the Maoists' People's Liberation Army were released from the second division camp in Sindhuli, the discharge process continued through the month.

South Pole And Back:
Reena Relives The Thrill
by Yasmin Bajoria
In Antarctica, she grimaces, the wind is your worst enemy. Reena Kaushal Dharmshaktu, who has become the first Indian woman to ski to the South Pole, loses her winsome cheeriness momentarily as she attempts to describe, back home in Delhi, the excruciating cold on the frozen continent. An accomplished mountaineer, with numerous expeditions to Himalayan peaks, the 38-year-old recalls her quick realization of the difference between Antarctic and Himalayan conditions. Read On
“Historiphobic” Indians
by J. Ajithkumar
True history has become an oxymoronic concept desired publicly by all but censored privately by the rulers. Though everyone wants to know the real truth about our own history very few show the extreme courage of wanting to record truthful history as such in black and white. Nobody and no nation can have cent percent glowing history and invariably the undesirable periods get distorted or unrecorded in the official versions. Read On
The Three Disciples
by Pradip Bhattacharya 
The Paushya sub-parva in the Mahabharata is possibly the most ‘teasing’ portion of the Adi Parva. After the dull Parvasamgraha, it suddenly sparks our interest and delights with its poetry, at places teasing us out of thought into eternity. And yet, it is the only parva that is largely in prose.

Yudhishthira and Krishna:
Indra & Vishnu on One Chariot
by Indrajit Bandyopadhyay
According to one myth in Mahabharata, Yudhishthira is a former Indra incarnate in the seed of Dharma, according to another he is Dharma’s son, and yet, according to another, he is Dharma incarnate! If Yudhishthira is Indra or Dharma-incarnate or Dharma’s son, why would he need to listen to and participate in discourses on dharma again and again; and why is it that Vyasa, Krishna, Pandavas, Draupadi, Bhisma and others have to lecture Yudhishthira again and again on dharma?

Dancing on Water
by Syeda Hameed 
I was walking along the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Strains of music wafted in the air, drumbeats resonated like a human heart. I saw the lit up stage from a distance as I went down the steep stone steps, picking my way around the women and men who sat with empty bowls along the edges. When I drew close, I saw that it was a floating stage - a platform mounted on two large boats. Read On
