So? What is your point? Here. Thank me later:

#ModiKaYaar much? He is not alone in the present government, I think. In any case there is much to be gained by both countries. Its not as though its a one-way street. But this can only work if India addresses the Kashmir issue to find a mutually beneficial solution.

When pretty much everyone is corrupt, what do you do? You place your trust in the system & let it work. USA was a pretty corrupt place in 1880s. In a few decades it was decidedly less so. In any case, I am not going to go out on a limb here to defend anyone. I am rather enjoying the payback &...

Very true. One must understand that just as feigned religiosity is a path to power, so is an idea that corruption can be eliminated totally by a saviour messiah. We have seen this play out right in front of us. It is the age-old efficiency argument against legitimacy argument. Each & every...
