The transfer of power from the military rule to civilian rule in Pakistan is a welcome development for India. A stable democracy is better than a rule from the back by an authoritarian regime.




Dear sir
I received the mail from you some days ago and there were some program guides along with the stickers of dw. I distributed some of these stickers to people I know and asked them to listen to radio deutsche welle. For the past few days the dw-tv is not being shown in the doordarshan direct to home broadcast. I do not know what is the reason for it.


The problem of malay tamils is really amazing. The connection that people make just because of language is amazing. Language being a form of connection that people can relate to easily might be the reason. The feeling of nationhood too must have had the same effect with people. But probably that is yet to gain root. The echo of the Malaysian conflict has been felt in the Indian parliament means that this is more than an emotive issue. This kind of transnational influence being held by a language shows the flimsy things over which the democratic foundation can be shaken.


The continuous rise of the stock market in India is a sign of the belief in the Indian economic prowess. The mere fact of the growing middle class and the prospect of them spending even a little amount for their daily consumption is a boost to the consumerist growth of India. It is actually a system of number. Even though the consumption is less the sheer number of people that consume that little amount add up to a lot of money. This is the main reason for the confidence shown by the foreign institutional investor over India.
