Leading from the front
Rahul is a leader with a vision for the future, commitment to the idea of India and the power of a healing touch
A smooth sea never made a good sailor. Similarly, leadership is tested in times of crisis and the person who remains steadfast in his principles, no matter what is thrown at him, is the best leader there is. To me, that leader is none other than Rahul Gandhi ji. As I write this, the BJP government has yet again tried to build a false case against Rahul Gandhi ji, with the help of its favourite tool, the Enforcement Directorate. But I know that Rahul ji, who turns 52 this month, will once again look this challenge in the eye. In an era of self promotion, Rahul ji has always let his actions speak for himself and this is precisely why the Sangh ecosystem is obsessed with him and keeps trying to target him.
It was Rahul ji’s simplicity and vision for the nation that inspired me to join the Congress. As an MP earlier with the BJP, I had seen up front, the kind of disregard the BJP had for ordinary men and women of this country, for the poor farmers, for the marginalised, for women and children. All the party leadership looked at was maintaining the oligarchy of a few industrialists. On the other hand, Rahul ji always thought about the common man, his compassion shone through. As the head of the state unit now, what I wish to emulate is this commitment to the cause of the common Indian.

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

India is not a controlling big brother
Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
