| Summary/Abstract |
The original Indian varna order has degenerated into a rigid caste system with more faults than merits and must be reinvented to keep abreast of modern times. Satish Oberoi examines the causes of the distortions and suggests measures to rectify or even eliminate them. He however concludes that the elimination of the varna system could cause serious problems, leaving the country with limited options for dealing with its current sociopolitical problems and he proposes various reforms to improve governance.

| Summary/Abstract |
According to Khithie Robinson, with the rise of Asian nations, American defence and foreign policies have undergone major changes and the US has been reshuffling the Asian balance of power by reshaping the security architecture in its own interest. India for its part should neither antagonise China, its largest neighbour and economic partner, nor move too close to the US. It thus needs to implement a carefully shaped foreign policy for dealing with the new international scenario.
