The another face of Dr. Mulford
Dr. David C. MulfordThe controversial U.S ambassador to India Dr. Mulford is basically an economist not a politician as one presumes to be. I had an opportunity to listen Dr. Mulford when he visited Indian Institute of Technology Madras on September 01, 2005 for an interactive session with students. I have already written a story on this on September 2, 2005 in this blog.
Honestly speaking I expected something new from him but unfortunately he reproduced what he did at Kolkatta and Agra the same year. From the very beginning he has underscored the importance of India in global scene and mentioned the slip-tong of Ms. Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of state that her government will HELP India to become Superpower! He is rightly said that the US government is against India-Iran gas pipeline project as it is not going to be commercially viable. Why he unnecessarily cares for India? One must think.
The US as before is against the energy security of India. It tries very hard to make India to depend on them so that they can rule most of planet earth. There is nothi
ng new about his recent controversial remarks about the voting in IAEA meeting. As a US commercial agent it is right for him to set conditions for another firm to accept their pricing since theirs is the only one superpower in the world. When the monopoly ends there would be a level playing filed for all other nations. Unnecessarily he tries to undermine the sovereign rights of an independent country like India. It is for them to have nuclear cooperation with India to safeguard their interests. After all their interests will be protected since it persuaded India to separate the Civil-Military nuclear facilities for their betterment.

His efforts to blackmail India is as similar to what Junior Bush thundered world on eve of military strike against Iraq, either be with us or against. By linking IAEA vote to US-India nuclear cooperation is nothing new but another milestone of blackmailing. His interference in India’s foreign affairs is brought to light and all the political parties took exception to his unbecoming attitude. The demand to recall Dr, Mulford is growing from the opposition parties. In my sense, he is acting like a US commercial agent to safeguard, protect American industries and interests here.
In the large interests of both countries Bush administration should find replacement for Dr. Mulford else all good measures initiated by Clinton administration would fail.

the DownTrend of Saarang 2006...hey it is now Green Saarang!
The recent insident at IISc Bangalore stripped the crown of Saarang this year due to excessive security cover. Now, intelligent people at IIT Madras crowned it Green Saarang, hey what is in name? what is inside thats matters, right? nothing special compared to 2003 0r 2004.
Last year the organisers cherged Rs. 50 for Choreo Nite for Tsuname Cause but this year too? What happend? same Rs. 50 but no tickets even to the Junta of IIT, poor guys.
One more ugly alleged insident of manhandling a Eco-activist, filing case and counter case where it will lead to? It would have been better if the organisers involved the Environmentallists in waste disposal etc. You can not simply Treepass them after all it is our Crown you should keep it neet and clean else it will lose its sign...poor guys dont understand nothing about the Eco-enjoyment...see what happens next saarang sorry Green Saarang 2007.

Long Live Buta Singhji!
Stepping from the Governership of Bihar, Shri. Buta Singh proved that he is very much seasoned politician. His 40 years of political life if one happens to see, no doubt that it is full of up and downs but still he hogs the limelight. Thats is his speciality. I dont think his recommendation
of president rule in Bihar is wrong for only one reason. There is no political party or combination enjoyed clear majority. Horse trading or selling and buying of legislators! comes next. Shri. Buta Singh proved his administrative skill by conducting the election peacefully in the all-time history of Bihar. If Buta Singh is just any other there is no Nitish now in 1, Annemarg st,So lets cheers up buta...
Dismissing the government or implementing President rule requires Governer's nod but not a pre-requiste. The Union Government is empowered to verify the facts and figures submitted by the Governer. The very reasent incident warrent a serious analysis and interceptions. It is very difficult to accept the line of Hon'ble Supream Court in indicting Buta Sigh only instead it should have pointed fingers at Union Government too.
Finally Long Live Buta Singhji....

Dharam goes and Kumarasamy comes but for how Long?
The present political situation in the Indian state of Karnataka is throwing the spanner in the constitution of India basically for two reasons. Shri. Dharam Singh failed to utilise the time given by the Governer to prove his majority on the floor of the house and recognistion of Shri. Kumarasamy as the leader of JD(S) by the speeker which already has Shri. Prakash as the floor leader. I hope this is the first time in the indian political history that Shri. Dharam Singh is shortest served Cheif Minister among all states.
Wow, if Kumarasamy comes tomorrow and Yeddiurappa comes day after tomorrow but for how long the honeymoon will last. Both the parties are very against their ideology but chooses to allaign just for the sake of POWER yea its poor power. It is not difficult for anyone to believe that it is just Political Tamasha of JD (S) and BJP..The Congree should strengthen its base in Karnataka and its hiberbation given groth to BJP...
If you correct yourself its ok else u will be shown the door...Think for a while..
