Geopolitics and globalization ..

Globalization brings increasing peace and improves world trade and relationship between countries.

Quote :

Imperialism and territorialism are increasingly obsolete. Why take over a country and deal with the headaches of a welfare system, and have to fix the plumbing in Uzbekistan, when you can buy its output on the cheap? - unquote

CBI finally arrests the tainted former telecom minister A Raja ..

2G scamster A Raja, Karunanidhi's right man is finally arrested by CBI. 

Let law take its course and decide the course of action .. Even though there is no unanimity on the exact amount of scam amount, it indeed is corruption and needs to be handled sternly..

Heaving a sigh, if this had not happened, all the efforts of the people, media and politicians would have been in vain.

Waiting for the others to follow, Adarsh, Lavasa, ones in Bangalore ..

Move quickly on Adarsh ..

This editorial from The Hindu is very apt and forceful.

The high profile guilty who thought that they would never get caught and could have their way even when they tried to usurp the legitimate offering by the govt to the widows of Kargil war, flats in Adarsh Society, to their own benefit, should be taken to task and punished or court martialled whatever be the case and put behind bars. That is the least the govt can do to protect the image of the armed forces which took a severe beating with the selfish motives of some of the most senior retired officers and the dignity of the common man. 

We are getting fed up with the exposures happening on a daily basis in the country. India is not a banana republic where the powerful and mighty can have their say and get away with it scot-free. Even they are responsible to the law of the land and the common man.

With the active support of Jairam Ramesh, Minister of Env and Forests, in this crusade against corruption in the real estate sector of the country and his standing threat to demolish the 31 floor building at Colaba, the pressure is getting all the more greater with each passing day on the court and CBI to finalise this matter to its logical conclusion.
