Foreign affairs

In recent times, we are hearing, daily about the plight of Indians, in Oz'. On drop of hat these countries issue travel advisories, for their citizens. Now why cannot Indian Government issue travel advisory to their citizens, warning them, not to go to Australia, till that Government acts.


* I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Centre - State relations

It is really pathetic, to note, our State Government wants everything from Centre and more and never ready to co-operate with it on important issues like (i) VAT - it was one of the last, to accept it. (2) Electricity Board bifurcation - it carried-out last after much cajoling. (3) Now it is GST. Such attitudes are very disturbing. This is when it is in power, at both the end. This kind of behaviour will make others think, that, we are always cry babies and issues like, Cauvery (Karnataka), Mullai-Periar (Kerala), Palar (A.P), etc.. are not getting solved, because of us In Europe, major countries have joined to follow common, economic rules and in India States within it are being difficult.
