Krishna has slandered an entire community in the name of freedom of speech. But Brahmin musicians numerically dominate the field due to a complex mix of socio-economic factors, not casteism.
With an educated & skilled workforce, Tamil Nadu has a burgeoning industrial sector which has scored massive investments in automobiles, electronics, and even footwear.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Great piece Shekhar. Very appropriate. I would add two points to his lasting contributions. Firstly, the severest fighting of Op Meghdoot happened during his tenure as COAS. In fact India Quaid Post in this period, and bestowed the only Siachen PVC. Secondly, and as important militarily, I think the roots of India’s Cold Start Doctrine emanate from late Gen Sundarji’s vision. And that doctrine continues to drop temperatures in Pakistan even today.
Nice.With a large amount of exaggeration about his writing. He was perhaps not as good a writer as Shekhar is. Butnot a bad one either. And certainly a General who researched his moves on the battlefield even if he seemed “reckless” to defence journalists covering his work. BTW and speaking of research-this was his death anniversary. He was born in April.
This is a reprint of the piece written on 10 Feb 1999. For those famioliar with the earlier print, and the man, would have been saved some bother. Otherwise worth recounting.
