  1. PM Modi is right – the key is to attract and retain bright youngsters.

    For that we need to respect merit, discourage sycophancy, create an environment where people of all faiths and views are welcome, where there is freedom to speak, where institutions are strong, where there is rule of law and where opportunity goes to the most deserving, rather than to those well connected.
