dear john, i would not bet on it; this here is a very complicated and contradictory polity, and our party systems are often at wit's end to chart any simple course nation wide; i do not expect the bjp in the first place to have anywhere near ...

Hi Badri Thanks for keeping us informed on the political situation in India. Could the unthinkable happen; could Modi actually become the next Prime Minister of India?  Best wishes John Andrews

I believe I read not too long ago that most bananas sold commercially are the Cavendish variety  and that there is a disease that is slowly killing them off and there will be a need to go to another disease- resistant variety to keep up with ...

Ah, yes.  India is nothing more than a rubber stamp of the US.  Corruption here is so rampant to be inconceiveable.  Just ask Chris Dorner!  Nothing since the early 70's surprises me.  Even my small town of 5,000 has a...

"The only traits that the corporations have introduced into plants through genetic engineering are the toxic traits of Bt toxin and herbicide resistance."  This is definitely not true.  Salmon have been modified to grow faster ...

Here is a part of my text which may have escaped notice: "And religion here need not  have reference merely to denominational identities.  What is said might apply to our immersion in any form of totalitarian allegiance that harden...

Another problem I have with the slogan ‘only religion makes good people do evil things’ is that it remains on a purely ephemeral, ideological level and does not rise to being an institutional analysis. Only religion? Really?  ...

I do have a bit of a problem using the word religion in this sense. When it is applied to avowedly anti-religious philosophies, it waters the term down to meaninglessness. The idea that somewhere there is a creed or philosophy- religious or secu...

thanks, dear richard; it is precisely totalitarians like Rand and those of other vintage--stalinism, market fundamentalism, racism, male spremacy, linguistic chavnism, what have you--that i had in mind in speaking of  'totalitarian alleg...

I for one would certainly raise a glass and drink to the sentiments Mr. Raina expresses in this piece. However regarding “totalitarian allegiances” that “harden the heart” and make people “brain-dead,” we here...

dear John, many thanks; 2012 has been a bit slack, and the bulk of my  interventions have gone into Dailies here in India;  just some four or so znet columns;  all that largely because i have had to proof and supervise the publicat...

Hi Badri Hope you are keeping well. Thank you for keeping us informed about events in India. Surely, even in Gujarat, it is illegal to use state funds for such crass politicking? Best wishes John Andrews

Perhaps she meant to refer only to that portion of grain that is not consumed by people, but it could have been clearer, true. As for the second point, remember that she's talking about percentages. She's considering only corn that feeds a...

Good article, and I always respect Vandana Shiva's work.  But, little slip here: "Seventy per cent of the food grain in the US is used to feed animals, 30 per cent to feed cars. The proposed increase through FDI will take this to 40...
