  • Its Gandhis’ day in Lok Sabha

    India's most famous political family stole the show in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Those who were sitting in the visitors' gallery as well as the scribes in the press gallery were equally curious to observe the Gandhis as three of them took oath as MPs. While Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was sworn...

  • Aboard Vikramshila Express, Day-II

    I wake up to a cacophony of cell phone rings. A Bihar Military Police (BMP) jawan rudely nudges me to give him space to sit. Planning to go back to sleep, I feebly tell him that it is only 7 am. He tells me in no uncertain terms that as it is already daylight; I do not have any right to sleep on the...

  • Lok Sabha election, 2009: The main losers

    The first phase of the 2009 general elections begins in less than 24 hours. The greatest democratic exercise in this country, however, has been preceded by one of the most undemocratic and politically churlish phases.

  • The poetry of Varun Gandhi

    Varun Gandhi seems to have hidden his poetry well. I visited a couple of bookshops last weekend, looking for his 2000 volume titled The Otherness of Self , but I didn't find it. (Which seems to be a major miscalculation by its publisher, Rupa & Co. In its place, I would have immediately trotted...

  • Doublespeak thy name is politician!

    Before, I start writing, let me clarify that I am not the supporter of any political party. To cast my vote, I judge them on the basis of their policies and principles. That is exactly what prompted me to write this. Both the CPM and the Congress keep sermonizing about the need to defeat the communal...

  • Varun Gandhi was wrong, but was EC right?

    The BJP would not have been the natural choice for Feroz Gandhi's grandson. He might have been in the Congress party, but circumstances made him join the opposition party that was embraced by his mother Maneka Gandhi, who had to leave the first family of the Congress. He may be a victim of the policies...
