If the PM&amp;#39;s office cannot ensure confidentiality, it makes no sense for any IAS officer(who is not a brave fool) to speak/write without anonymity.

I also want to know that is $2.1 a figure which he did not get in the settlement and now wants to regain that through a suit? 

If Mr.Anil bhai is not guilty of the accusations leveled or the comments passed on him, a simple apology should be fine for his ego.

As the finance guys in US say, &amp;#39;Get work, do work, have fun and get paid&amp;#39;. The realism at the end of the profound statement holds the key.

Wishing Raju all the best in future.

Love your insightful and the good trouble-making posts. We love you and we think you were forced out by the Congress govt. What can we do to show our displeasure? 

- Stop buying Mint?
- Write to the editor?
- Or other?

Please advise. 

I am sure you will find greener pastures whereever you chose to go next. We wish you luck and look forwards to your continued posts. Keep up the good work. India needs you my friend!&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5508" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: The intellectually bankrupt Indian Left</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/romanticrealist/archive/2008/12/15/the-intellectually-bankrupt-indian-left.aspx#5507</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:43:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:5507</guid><dc:creator>India Puzzle</dc:creator><description>The left is the most out-of-touch party within India. Its ironical that the left still holds communist ideals dear and opposes every pro-development effort when our communist neighbour to the North is growing by leaps and bounds by giving up their socialist and communist ideas and adopting capitalism.

I agree with Raju that its time India shuttered these parties out of focus by voting them out. But who can convince Kerala and West Bengal?
