By Vijay Darda | 09-03-2015 For 68 years we have had a problem called Kashmir. It does not offer itself to any easy solution. In fact, a difficult one is also tough to discern on the horizon. We have fought wars across the border, and our armed forces maintain an eternal vigil within our own territory. Pakistan has played
By Vijay Darda | 02-03-2015 On the face of it, you cannot really find much fault with the two budgets presented in parliament last week. Both the Rail Budget from Suresh Prabhakarrao Prabhu and the General Budget from Arun Jaitley have a clutch of good features. But as an ordinary citizen you cannot really go ga-ga over these exercises
By Vijay Darda | 23-02-2015 It is not for nothing that capitalism gets a bad name. One of its traits is a fierce no-holds barred competition with all ethical considerations being damned and the desire to win at any cost. On the eve of the budget session, we have seen the eruption of a case that is being mistakenly
By Vijay Darda | 16-02-2015 In the first place, a huge round of applause is in order for the Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and his team. No amount of praise would be adequate enough for the manner in which they have surmounted the odds against them. They have overcome the combined might of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s

By Vijay Darda | 26-01-2015 When American President Barack Obama stands as the chief guest at the Rajpath this year with the Republic Day parade passing before him, the event will go beyond the symbolism of the world’s most powerful democracy acknowledging the largest democracy in the world. The firsts involved in this landmark occasion by themselves amplify the
By Vijay Darda | 19-01-2015 At the age of 44, Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has an unparalleled opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the development of the State. Never before in the recent past, has a young person come to such a high office in the State with such a tremendous bank of goodwill, and such a
By Vijay Darda | 12-01-2015 Last week, Sri Lanka got a new democratically elected President Maithripala Sirisena. His victory is at once a surprise performance that was written on the wall.

By Vijay Darda | 05-01-2015 We have all stepped into a New Year. We have all exchanged good wishes with each other.
