An ecosystem of trust

If you look at the track record of some of the most successful companies across the world, there has been one common factor that has been at the centre of their growth story: their ability to adapt to change. Admittedly, change is never easy, but it is also a necessity, for growth, writes Anil Chanana.

Hold the bubbly for now

Increased manufacturing output is always good news, but a fresh round of policy pushes is long overdue.

Pakistan’s ‘yes we can’ moment

The very act of being held was enough to make Pakistan’s general elections a historic event. The election brings in a government that could normalise ties with India.

The sum of all fears

Meeting India's growing energy needs and ensuring environmental safety are difficult but not insurmountable.

Not all black and white now

Investigative website Cobrapost has alleged that several leading private and public sector banks and insurance companies help customers launder black money. The sting operation has underlined the need for an overhaul of the financial services system.

Time for truth or bare

For the determined Indian harasser, conservatism, age, looks and dress do not constitute adequate deterrents.

One step back, two steps ahead

The border standoff between India and China seems to have been resolved in a manner that seems to combine the best of diplomatic and military pressure. Recent events at Depsang must not affect the beneficial relationship India and China share.

Consider at face value

Beauty, we know, lies in the eyes of the beholder. But if the beholder happens to be the Saudi Arabian government, this can have rather unexpected consequences.

Revenge is not the answer now

While it may be very difficult to be rational in these trying circumstances, it is important that India does not lose the moral high ground it occupies now after the death of Sarabjit.

Down to the politics now

The third cut in the short-term lending rate by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in four months comes bundled with widespread anticipation that these would eventually percolate down to the end borrower.

Stuck in a time warp

The wounds of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots are still painful for those who lost their loved ones in them. Sajjan Kumar’s acquittal reopens the wounds victims, many of whom have got no recompense.

No more time to squander

No one, but no one, seems to be coming out of this Parliament session smelling of roses so far. The government certainly has much to answer for given its unacceptable conduct over the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) report on the coal scam for which it has been pilloried by the Supreme Court.

Douse this fire now

Unless the government takes measures to tackle the Telangana problem, its list of worries will only get longer.

Stepping on too many coalmines

There could not have been a worse turn of events for a government already on the ropes. The SC’s indictment of the government conduct in the CBI’s probe into the coal scam now threatens to blacken the UPA’s image further.

No checks and balances

Uttar Pradesh’s urban development minister Azam Khan has either a very heightened sense of self-importance or is suffering from some sort of delusional incapacity. A routine airport check on him in the US has sent his state government into a tizzy.
