Taking Dalits for Granted!
DALITS, THE caste which was subjected to the humiliation for years play a huge role in Indian politics. There have been several leaders within the community and outside the community who focused on empowering them. One such leader in today’s time is Mayawati, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. The state has large population of dalitsContinue reading “Taking Dalits for Granted!”
Mayawati: Priorities Gone Wrong!
“Don’t tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are.” These lines aptly describe the governance of Mayawati in most populous state of the country Uttar Pradesh. She recently inaugurated 685 crore Noida Memorial Park and used the platform to settle the scores withContinue reading “Mayawati: Priorities Gone Wrong!”
The Deadly Indian Roads!
WORLD HEALTH Organisation has revealed in its first ever Global Status Report on Road Safety that more people die in road accidents in India than anywhere else in the world.

Mayawati: Vision of Development and Handbag!
MAYAWATI’S STATUE-BUILDING spree has been termed as a demonstration of her narcissism. Remember that Uttar Pradesh is one of the most underdeveloped states in the country.

For a moment I assumed the other news channels had decided to skip the early morning slightly pointless pre results dispatches, till I walked aContinue reading “Bihar Transformed”
Always a blind spot
I look at the rhetoric surrounding Elections 2009 and wonder – has any political party promised to improve the state of the environment for you and me? Or thought about our right to fresh air or clean water – commodities that have become a rarity in an urbanising India? Over the past few weeks I’veContinue reading “Always a blind spot”
Samajwadi’s Party Manifesto is a Joke!!
THIS IS a time when the nation is looking forward for some able and determined leaders. But Samajwadi Party (SP) has made a mockery of everything. The manifesto released by the party has a few very ‘good’ points, which can take India back to the year 1900. The vision or should I call it aContinue reading “Samajwadi’s Party Manifesto is a Joke!!”
