Every year on the 25th of January, the Election Commission of India (ECI) releases advertisements asking voters to take a pledge which is to be an honest voter. That elaborate pledge seems redundant as I watch the caste and cash politics being played out before us. This year, the Election Commission has stated that there…
Mascot of India that is Bharat Veni, Vidi, Vici is a Latin phrase attributed to the famous Roman General Julius Caesar. It means ‘I came, I saw, I conquered.’ It refers to a swift, conclusive victory. Same could be said of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two-day visit to Karnataka last Saturday and Sunday, including…
Come elections, I look forward to two things — manifestos and garlands. So far, no party has presented a manifesto. It’s an embarrassment in democratic politics.

I was surprised to read a detailed article on the world famous taxidermist Edwin Joubert van Ingen of Mysuru, who passed away in the year 2013 at the age of 101. Unsung and unwept. It was very sad to learn that at his burial at St. Bartholomew’s Church Cemetery, next to St. Philomena’s High School,…
Some BJP party workers speculate on a 2018 scenario even this time. Which is why, it is said, Vijayendra does not want to lose the chance to contest like last time. And, hence, he wants Shikaripura also, in case he is asked to keep-off Varuna at the last minute. A wise decision. If one does…
