Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'.

That is why India's unexpected rise is threatening to those forces that work in the darkness of despair. Socially, politically and economically, India sits between two extremes: the West and China. The models of the western world are too developed to be easily adapted - 50 years of aid has not been effective. China is autocratic, its top-down growth delivered by an appointed...
