Terrorism, a poison that has historically maimed a plenteous number of blameless Indians, rocked India once more for nearly 3 days. Mumbai’s Taj Hotel, a legendary symbol of architectural splendour, was targeted by Islamic bigots. The Oberoi-Trident was also brutalised by the bloody insaneness of the terrorists. Mumbai, familiar with such bigotry, had to endure the chilling ramifications of another intelligence blunder and the ineptitude of the law-enforcement machinery.

Despite her loss, Hillary Clinton’s candidature was significant.
Ananth Venkatesh calls it “a measure of the matureness of American democracy and its steady evolution”.

He states clearly the reasons for which American women were suppressed and prevented from the democratic freedom enjoyed by men.
