By N.K.A. Ballal, Retd. Sr. Vice-President, ITDC Indian democracy is still alive and kicking. The recent elections to the two States of Maharashtra and Haryana have proved it. All the exit polls had virtually written off Congress, ncp and other parties in these two States. All have to eat the humble pie as their calculations…
New Delhi: The Government has cancelled a two-day official visit to Ankara by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the backdrop of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech last month where he criticised India’s move on Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

By Dr. R. Balasubramaniam A few months ago, I saw a tweet from a recently elected Member of the Parliament (MP) expressing his happiness at the address of the Prime Minister to the newly-elected members.

Watching the TV last night, I was astounded at the way…
What we saw was not just ‘Authentic Leadership’ but a combination of ‘Crisis Leadership,’ ‘Political Leadership’ and ‘Total Leadership’ By Dr. R. Balasubramaniam.

Today, Narendra Modi completes 100 days in Office in his second term as the Prime Minister of India. As I reflect about India’s past years after Independence since 1947 and the years after Modi came to power in 2014 and 2019, I get a gut feeling that it was only providence that brought a leader…
Last night, many who were waiting for that moment of glory and pride were left screaming “Vikram yellidiyappa…” as the Moon Lander lost communication with the ground station of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). While Vikram remains incommunicado leaving many disheartened, it has reignited enthusiasm and curiosity among Indians, both young and old, about Space…
