- September 1 - October 15, 1998
>>>Our Political masters, Jayalalitha included, cry hoarse about the
foreign hand whenever their cup of milk sours, their favourite
targets being the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or that ogrenext-door, Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Their
noises, however, do not reflect the extent of the danger India

- September 1 - October 15, 1998
>>>Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah's spasmodic
exhortations to displaced Pandits to pack up and go back to
Kashmir, have by now become the premier joke for the homeless
community. They have grown to learn that he is not very serious
about it, which he himself knows too. It must be said though

- The growing menace of pseudo-secularism M. V. Kamath
- November 22, 1998
>>>One of the saddest, most tragic things one is being forced to
witness these days is the degradation of secularism by its most
vocal champions, the secularists themselves. We have reached a
stage where, in the name of secularism, a determined effort is
made to denigrate India's culture and national heritage and even

- High on opinion polls, low on the future M. J. Akbar
- November 15, 1998
>>>After years of sobriety, the Congress High Command is feeling
high once again: there is nothing more than the faint whiff of

- November 26, 1998
>>>In this country among the intellectuals there is strong aversion
to the doctrine of nuclear deterrence, though of late the BJP
government has put forward minimum deterrence as its strategic

the BJP leadership on nuclear deterrence, the fact that the

- November 19, 1998
>>>The fight between the opposition Congress and the ruling
Bharatiya Janata Party never mind their supporters in other
parties - is now on and it promises to be bitter. In February/
March earlier this year the Congress was effectively disowned by
the nation and for very good reasons. The Congress Party had

- A selective memory M. V. Kamath
- November 21, 1998
>>>The CPI-M leaders' violent reaction to Mr L. K. Advani's
revealing comments on the Communist role during the Quit India
Movement indicates a delightful forgetfulness; or, in the more
expressive words of Srimathi J. Jayalalitha, a selective memory,
worthy of better causes. Methinks the Comrades protest too

- November 3, 1998
>>>The conference of education ministers, which turned into a
political battleground, served one great purpose by triggering a
debate on the nature and content of our education policy. The
agenda of the HRD Ministry to 'Indianise, nationalise, and
spiritualise' the education system, which was regarded by the

- Foreign militants woo locals with money in Poonch Arun Sharma
- November 24, 1998
>>>Foreign mercenaries, who would earlier use the gun to get the
locals in the border districts of Poonch an Rajouri to accede to
their demands, have shifted strategy in the face of an unyielding
populace. They are now trying to lure the locals with money, says
General Officer Commanding, 25 Division, Major General V S Yadav.

A recent encounter between the Army and Afghan infiltrators near
the Haji Pir pass in the Pir Panjal ranges and the material
recovered from their possession has revealed this startling

- November 24, 1998
>>>‘In India, more attacks on Christians’ screamed the headlines in
Washington Post on page 29 on November 17, 1998. The popular
American newspaper said, “India is experiencing a new wave of
communal conflict. Hindus, who make up 82 per cent of the
country's 950 million people, are attacking Christians - a 2 per

- November 21, 1998
>>>A few years ago, when SV Pillai was Chairman of Pfizer Limited,
he was under great tension. His company was on strike, his irate
employers summoned him to Hong Kong for consultations, and back
home in Ernakulam, his brother had suffered a heart attack. "All
I could do was pray to Lord Ayyappa in Sabarimala. Thank God, the

- November 12, 1998
>>>It is no secret that Pakistan's economic and financial conditions
have deteriorated further after the nuclear explosion in May this
year. It is virtually on the brink of collapse. Bill Clinton has

- Vidya Bharati: in the RSS tradition Debashish Mukerji
- November 15, 1998
>>>Like all good RSS pracharaks, Dinanath Batra is forthright with
his views but diffident when it comes to talking about himself.
Born in 1932 in Dera Gazi Khan - now in Pakistan - he has been
an educationist all his working life, initially as headmaster of
the DAV School at Dera Bassi in Patiala district, and
