Advance, not retreat - Hindustan Times:
"Modern India needs to take forward our traditions of syncretic evolution of the Indian civilisation. Seeking to settle scores of history, real or perceived, must not be allowed to fritter away the country’s energies in fratricidal conflicts. These energies must be galvanised to realise our true potential based on the foundations of a secular democratic republic. The strength of ‘We, the people’ lies in the secular unity that marshals all our energies in realising our full potential for building a better India.

Geithner Urges Action on Economy - WSJ.com
Geithner Urges Action on Economy - WSJ.com:
"He said the U.S. can no longer rely on consumer spending, which has long powered the economy, to be the growth engine that leads the recovery this time around and said Washington needed to plant the seeds for business investment and exports.
'We can't go back to a situation where we're depending on a near short-term boost in consumption to carry us forward,' he said.
Last week, Mr. Obama rolled out a package of proposals aimed at spurring business investment and job creation, including making a research tax credit permanent, allowing companies to temporarily expense 100% of capital investments and funding $50 billion in new infrastructure projects. The administration says the proposals would be paid for by ending other corporate tax breaks and closing loopholes.

"'tragedy of the commons.' The term, first reported in Science magazine in 1968, refers to a situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently and solely and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long-term interest.

On Politics - On Midterm Stump, Clinton Is Democrats’ Defender-In-Chief - NYTimes.com:
Mr. Clinton is more cerebral, delivering a thorough recitation of the economic condition and discussing how the challenges of today are more severe than those of his time in office.
“He says just what we need to hear, and because he’s articulate, you can follow him and see the logic,” she said. “He’s more at liberty now, and President Obama is really under the gun.”

Op-Ed Contributor - Universities Are Heading Toward Academic Bankruptcy - NYTimes.com: "- Just what I have been talking about. American needs to find a way to level the playing field if Americans are to compete on a global level where workforce can move around.

The buck starts here:
"Insurgencies in India, therefore, follow a pattern pretty much like a bell-curve. That is the wisdom from our institutional memory. The graph of violence rises in the initial period, producing more and more casualties on both sides. But at some stage the rebels come to the realisation that this state and its people are too strong and resolute to be ever defeated, no matter what the score, in a particular day’s battle in a long war. That is the point of inflexion when rebels see reason. There is no reason why the Maoist insurgency will not follow that same pattern eventually. But remember two things: they will only do it once you convince them of the futility of war for them, and you will only get a durable peace when you offer it from a position of strength."
