Why pink, go saffron!
Telangana was formed in 2014 after a long protest since the 1960s. K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was the face of the protest. He sat on an indefinite fast, which culminated in the UPA government at the Centre announcing the formation of Telangana.
We would rather die than work with AIMIM
THE BJP'S STRATEGY for the Telangana elections has been difficult to decode. When it removed the firebrand leader Bandi Sanjay as the state president, it was interpreted as an olive branch to the BRS. But it then fielded strongman Eatala Rajender against Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, which was by no means a goodwill gesture. In fact, the party is fighting a war on two fronts-it wants to ensure that the Congress is kept out of power, but does not want an overwhelming BRS victory.

Phase out, phase in
The BJP, which is known to fight every election, from local polls to the Lok Sabha, with an insatiable appetite, has taken a curious approach in these assembly elections.
Red hot hue
There isn’t a nip in the air anywhere in India as yet, thanks to the very evident climate change. But that has not stopped anyone from taking out that favourite winter colour. Red has pulled out all stops and has become the season’s preferred dress code.

American product, ayurvedic twist
I HAD BECOME CEO of Richardson Hindustan Ltd, the company where I had started at the bottom…. I wasn’t sitting pretty. The company was in serious trouble. I didn’t know to which port we were sailing; no wind was favourable. The socialist government had instituted severe price controls on medicines, threatening to bankrupt us. Our labour force was hostile, coming out of a seventy-seven-day strike. The chemists’ association had just announced a boycott of our products to force higher trade margins. With sales plunging to zero, we might go bust. I called a meeting of the management committee….

Understanding multi-asset investing
‘DON’T KEEP ALL EGGS in one basket’ is a popular adage in the investment world. Simply put, concentrating your investments in a single asset class ties your fortune to the vagaries of that asset class. Investors increasingly realise that having a well-balanced and structured portfolio is key to long-term returns and peace of mind. This is why multi-asset investing as a single-window and all-weather solution has gained prominence.
