MyExpressions: December 2012
http://abhishek-express.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 9, 2012. Kejriwal: A politician apart? With benefit of hindsight that seems to be the case. The ultra-strong bureaucracy created by Nehru, was no doubt a pool of gifted and talented people, but these people had little incentive for being efficient. Locally elected bodies, on the other hand, have their incentives much more closely tied to the body on which it exercises its powers. Kejriwal: Clearly an odd man in political class.

MyExpressions: November 2013

Saturday, November 16, 2013. Indian Politics 101 for a foreigner friend. Below is a fictitious account of me trying to explain current political situation in India to a imaginary friend F, new to Indian politics. F: What is this fuss about some political party in India getting investigated for their funds? I guess your country is moving towards cleaner politics. F: Wow, B and C seems rich. So the investigation agencies are probing them? Me: No, they choose to probe A instead. F: Surely you are hiding som...

Friday, November 18, 2011. Sounds of trumpets from UP. Mayawati did the unthinkable. She tried the most improbable caste combination, Dalit and the forward. Over past 20 years, she had painstakingly worked to gain full confidence of Dalit population. Now was a time to put this confidence to real test. For a change, she gave exceedingly high number of tickets to forward caste people and expected her loyal Dalit votebank to fully support them. Her infamous slogan. Lets see case by case. She is perhaps the ...

MyExpressions: October 2013

Sunday, October 13, 2013. Open letter to Arvind Kejriwal. Subject: Allegations of illegal pension drawing against AAP candidate Deshraj Raghav. Dear Arvind Sir,. Yes, you are smart, simple, articulate - but their are plenty in politics who had these qualities. In my understanding, your greatest strength has been that we believe in your integrity. You come across a genuine person, a quality I must say, separates you from rest. For past 60 years we had come to expect. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

MyExpressions: September 2013
http://abhishek-express.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. India - not a place for rationalism? In past fortnight, headlines in major news sources have been full of debates on free fall of rupee, food security bill, land acquisition bill, and yes - Asaram. Then there are usual editorials on Modi and secularism which, I am now convinced, is favorite time pass of Indian intellectuals. A news which did not attract much TRPs and hence headlines, was brutal murder of Dr. Dabholkar. Who was Dr. Dabholkar? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, April 28, 2013. Slow death of hindi? Lack of intellectual content produced originally in the language. Be it literature, science, politics, law, music - when pioneers of any of these fields discourse in a language, they enrich the language in the process. You might be wondering why this blogpost is in English and not in hindi. Well, I do blog. Monday, April 22, 2013. From Nirbhaya to Gudiya. Whether or not consensual sex between teen-agers 16-18 be termed as rape! Not even the parties involved) c...

Thursday, May 1, 2014. Lets admit this. Winning state election multiple times isn't an easy task. It needs courage, grit, determination. It needs a zeal to fight, a hunger for victory. Time and again he has proven he has all these. Yet he remains one of the most controversial leaders in Indian politics. He has never been out of controversy. He is known for his speeches which are widely appreciated, but only by his followers. For others his speeches are senseless utterances. His supporters wou...He has fa...
