Summary/Abstract |
Call it a comedy as some have demonstration elections or a tool of public relations, the fact is that peace in the world hangs by a thin thread, and that thread is a stable,democratic Afghanistan (or at least this is what the US and the West will have us believe).This explains the kind of interest the 20 August 2009 presidential elections engendered in most of the world capitals. However, instead of creating confidence at a global level, the elections have ignited a stream of controversies.

Summary/Abstract |
In its first issue of September, India's second biggest magazine Outlook carried two pages of letters on Jaswant Singh's new book. Amir Rasheed wrote from New York: As a kid growing up in Patna, even as a Muslim, we always had the ipression that it was Jinnah who wanted Partition. Now we can see the whole game was more complex. Jinnah wanted an equitable share of power for India's Muslima, not a partitioned one in a divided Punjab and Bengal.

Summary/Abstract |
According to streeten (1995), life expectancy and literacy could be quite high in a well-managed prison. Basic physical needs are well met in a zoo". Thus development must represent the whole gamut of change by which an entire social system-tuned to the diverse basic needs and desires of individuals and social groups within that system-moves away from a condition of life widely perceived as unsatisfactory towards a situation or condition of life regarded as materially and spiritually better.

Summary/Abstract |
Three years down the revolutionary republican road, many still make de rigueur references to the spectacular progress made by, or since, the revolution, including bringing the peace process to fruition. They, however, enevitably add the rider that, given consensus among key political actors, all problems can be overcome.

Summary/Abstract |
Call it the curse of democracy;soon after a democratically elected government begins its term in office, the parlour game du jour centres on the life expectancy of the government.Will it complete its term in office or not? A similar frenzy of speculation has not appeared to have surrounded dictatorship or army-led governments in their early days, leading civilian politicans to blame conspiracies, anti-democratic forces and hidden hands of trying to foment mischief against the democratic order.

Summary/Abstract |
Asking the people of two states to meet can be violative of state nationalism.As a confidence building measure (CBM) recommended from outside the state, it can be subversive. Nationalism unites a nation by designating an enemy outside it. This unity is based on a people hating another people as a collectivity. By recommending that people meet across the national frontier, we ask the two peoples to distance themselves from their mutually hostile states.
