When reading the book, one can see Roy’s mother as a 'fascist government' unto herself, the centre of her own cult. In Arundhati’s words, Mary Roy was ‘mother guru’.
ED has accused Amtek promoter Arvind Dham of controlling web of nearly 500 shell companies operating as a layered structure, with up to 15 levels of indirect ownership, to divert funds.
China flaunted military might & modernisation as it displayed stealth drones, anti-satellite system & cyber warfare contingent during parade to mark victory over Japan in WWII.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
Very poorly written article.
Let accept the fact that the State of Kerala needs a huge amount of money for reconstruction. Just do not understand the logic of the author in saying that there is no need to revisit the “Singh doctrine”. So what is the way out?
If the government of India has the financial capacity and willingness to help Kerala, then it is well taken. The current position of the Modi government seems to be that they won’t give money and will not allow Kerala state to accept money from anywhere!!!!
Rupa Subramanya, plz try to understand the situation in Kerala before writing articles. You are just doing harm to the flood victims by spoiling their chance to rebuild life!!!
The author is very ambiguous in her arguments. If Kerala were to say, express your respect by doing A and not B, only then it’s “kind”, will that be fair? With that yard stick, even Indians shouldn’t write checks, instead go do field works in Kerala (of course that is needed). But not all can! Ideological hooliganism commentary on natural disaster should not be appreciated.
If the author believes it so much, she should argue it comprehensively. Not with selective examples and whataboutary.
To be perfectly clear eyed in today’s world, especially when men like Trump write the rules, no one owes anybody anything. The good people of Kerala have no “ right “ to help from UAE. They have contributed much more to Saudi Arabia. So it is extraordinarily magnanimous and gracious of HH Sheikh Mohammed to offer $ 100 million towards the immense reconstruction effort, which would cost at least $ 3 billion. Whether a cheque is the best option or their government should actually participate physically, on the ground, perhaps the Government of Kerala would be the best judge. GoI may be pleased to allow the noble transaction to be consummated.
