    By the time you read this, the Madras High Court may have intervened to lift the suspension of the screening of ‘Vishwaroopam’, the Kamal Haasan starrer in Tamil Nadu for 15 days. If it does, it will not be a moment too soon. This patently illegitimate step of the Tamil...

    I am sure most of us have seen the inflammatory speech by Akbaruddin Owaisi, the MLA from Chandrayangutta in Hyderabad, as I have. One just needs to type ‘Akbar’ into the dialogue box and YouTube does the rest, throwing up the links to the infamous speech in a matter of...

    So, it has finally happened, after nine months of low-brow nautanki. The arrest of Jaganmohan Reddy, that is. The arrest was long past due; in fact it was nine months in the making. But better late than never, I am thinkng. But before we move on with this post, here’s...

    I first met with Nimmagadda Prasad, now infamously known as ‘Matrix’ Prasad, in 2003, just about the time when Matrix Laboratories, the company of which he was CEO and everything else, began the process of acquriing a clutch of smaller companies. All of those companies were in India, and no...

    So, now it is a Congress-TDP plot, is it? The claim by Jaganmohan Reddy, leader of the YSR Congress (read Jagan’s post here), that the freezing of the accounts of three of his companies that the CBI’s action is mendacious, and I am being generous about this. I would have...

    Trust Justice Markandey Katju to hit the nail squarely in the head. Writing in today’s Indian Express - it of the coup-that-was-not-a-coup story infamy – Justice Katju, chairman of the Press Council of India, said he was of the considered opinion that 90% of Indians were fools. He cited our...

    I am great fan of The Indian Express, and the fact that I was on the late Ramnath Goenka’s dime for nearly four years, is one of the reasons, though not the most critical reason. The Indian Express is a great newspaper, slightly right-of-center, the way I like it, and...

    Earlier this morning, a friend, a former Commander in the Indian Navy, and I were discussing le affaire Vijay Kumar Singh. Personally, I think that General V.K. Singh is avenging himself for the humiliation of haggling over his date of birth. Though General Singh has cloaked his actions as being...
