Mohan garu calls Yaron Brook the leader of a cult. Watch him debate on the role of government. You may disagree with Yaron, but can’t deny the rational aspect of the argument. Between Mohan garu and I, one of us don’t have a sense of proportionality- you decide which one it is. Here goes the […]
457. LETTER TO S. RADHAKRISHNAN SEGAON, WARDHA, December 23, 1938 DEAR SIR RADHAKRISHNAN, As you know I have always aimed at a redistribution of Provinces on a linguistic basis. The cue was taken from the Andhra movement. I should therefore be more than glad if Andhra could have its status as a Province recognized even […]
It is amazing how liberals are going gaga over Obama for killing Bin Laden. Picture of the National Security team in the White House at the time of operation is being liberally circulated around the world. Please spare me from pictures of the “heroes” sitting behind the desks in White House and show me the […]

February 17th will go down as one of the ignominious days in our state’s history. Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) is one of the most respected leaders, not just in our state, but in the entire nation. He is known for his honesty and integrity. He has given up a comfortable life as an IAS officer with […]

As I was walking out of Hyderabad airport, I noticed that there are two private companies offering to exchange foreign currency. The counters were manned by three people each and were competing with each other for business. It was 4.00 AM in the morning. As soon as the salesmen see a prospective customer, they all […]
Today is a day of celebration. We have been vindicated. I won’t say anything further. Just read what Justice Srikrishna has to say: 2.15.01 One of the major arguments for a separate state of Telangana has been that since the formation of the state of AP, this region has been neglected and even discriminated against, […]
