COUNTERPOINT

AJAI SAHNI, TUSHAR RANJAN MOHANTY
VIEW FROM WASHINGTON

FROM THE BLOGS
An uneasy mix of the real and the surreal — the opulence of the dreamlike frames clashes unnervingly with references to actual events like Operation Bluestar and Babri Masjid
NAMRATA JOSHI
OPINION

OPINION
Corruption is nothing new, but its magnitude is, as is the ineptitude, the incompetence and the lack of supervision which seem to prevail since this PM came to power
