The real toll of Kashmiri Pandits

The truth has a curious way of eventually emerg-ing. Since 1990—that is for the last 33 years—the BJP has consistently maintained that the “targeted attacks” on Kashmiri Pandits since militancy began in January 1990 was communal and designed to drive non-Muslims out of the Kashmir valley.

In awe, in Vegas

It was late October, 1994. I was at a Cuban restaurant in an open mall off Tropicana Avenue in Las Vegas. I looked up from my conversation and noticed other customers becoming excited almost one by one and suddenly rushing to surround someone I could not see. The restaurant was not full, it was not dinnertime, but there was definitely something going on. Everyone else had stopped eating.

Remembering KK, a Tata legend

To some, it may seem a little sad to begin the new year with a column on an individual who is no more. R.K. Krishnakumar aka KK, who passed away aged 84 on New Year’s Day, was not just a business stalwart in the Tata group, but a deeply venerated corporate professional. Such was the respect for the reticent man—known to be Ratan Tata’s confidant— that it seems totally appropriate to acknowledge his contribution and bid him an affectionate farewell.
