Coalition dharma, Congress!

Chatting about UN reforms with a European diplomat at an informal gathering, some of us asked why Britain was still there in the Security Council. They are no longer a military power, nor an economic power. They have a veto, but have never cast it on their own since 1972, the year in which Correlli Barnett published The Collapse of British Power. Worse, they haven't toed a line of their own in the council on any global issue since.

When Manmohan engaged Musharraf

No prime minister of India made a more constructive contribution towards establishing an equilibrium between India and Pakistan than Dr Manmohan Singh. Building on the Islamabad Declaration of January 2004, proclaimed jointly by prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and president Pervez Musharraf, Singh initiated with his counterpart a process of sustained dialogue which yielded the most positive results, specifically with regard to the issue of Jammu and Kashmir that, but for the perversity of destiny, might have opened the path to lasting peace and harmony.

One supercalifragilisticexpialidocious New Year

Once Christmas is over, tension mounts in our home as the little woman and I start ticking off the days. We both remain on edge because we dread the coming of the New Year—a time when the whole world goes crazy and adopts resolutions. We, too, make New Year promises and our ‘list of past resolutions’ is very long and impressive. Unfortunately, we are complete failures at keeping them and our ‘list of resolutions not kept’ is equally long and equally impressive.
