If the first week of this post showed some really interesting turn of events, the second has invariably turned out to be better... Just read on...
India faced another crushing defeat Down Under, and were left mercilessly gasping for breath, after the scoreline read 4-0. It was the eighth straight loss and the second consecutive whitewash. The recent Indian performances cry out loud for hard, concrete changes in the way Indian cricket is played.
The Jaipur Literature Festival went about smoothly and without obstruction. The days were magnificent, as professed by many a men and women who spent valuable time engaging with few of the most established wordsmiths of our time. It is a very proud moment for Indians since the festival is now clearly established on the global scene.
Salman Rushdie couldn't make it even through the wide networks that could have given him a virtual presence at the Festival, but the opposition to it stayed strong, thanks to the usual suspects.
The case of Vodafone v. Government of India resulted in the Supreme Court ruling that declared no jurisdiction for the India tax authorities over Vodafone's purchase of Hutchinson's interest in its joint venture in India with Essar. It was a landmark case to which the implications are clear - to rewrite the Indian tax laws in accordance with changing times.
It was an incredible moment for the Bhattacharya couple when it was declared that their children will be returned back to their uncle in India. The government was successful in holding talks with the Norwegian authorities that ensured the children's safe return.
Army Chief general V.K Singh went to the supreme court on his controversy his birth date which was wrongly printed in the official army records due to which he has to retire earlier than the actual age in question where he termed the issue as a "question of integrity" and embarrassed the government over it.
