Neither state govts nor companies earn large profits from lotteries. However, a look at the system shows there’s ample evidence of murky dealings and financial irregularities.
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.
China never claimed victory. Indians do not understand warfare even with 57 year hindsight. Such people are External Affairs Ministers and generals! China vacated every inch and retreated to prewar position. When enemy retreats, any other nation would claim victory – except Indians!

In all fairness, there will be another EAM in future, who will conduct a similar forensic analysis of the subsequent period. He will probably read the Editor’s somewhat stern assessment in a column published a year ago to get some background material. 2. This speech is in some ways a little problematic. Over the course of a long and very distinguished career in the IFS, EAM would have been party to some of the decisions he now faults. Even for older ones, before his time, he must have defended them in countless international fora, as his junior colleagues are now doing with 5th August. This public airing of the trousseau also undermines the sanctity and bipartisanship of foreign policy. 3. To be perfectly honest, I was always a much greater admirer of Foreign Secretary Smt Sujatha Singh.
