Power to Secularism
Too many things are happening to the Congress at the
same time. With elections only a few months away and the country expected to give a
definitive nod to secular politics, the developments in the Congress are being keenly
watched. The issue at stake has snowballed from a question of validity of a person with
foreign origin to claim executive power to a major revolt within the party ranks with
three heavyweights, Sharad Pawar, Purna Sangma and Tariq Anwar, being expelled for
questioning the ethics of Sonia Gandhi aspiring for the highest executive seat in the
country, namely the Prime Ministership.

The Sun in Tendulkar
The cricket fever, which had not raised much of a
temperature in Calcutta, given the dismal performance of the national cricket team in the
World Cup seemed to have reached some level of recognition with the return of Sachin Tendulkar to the team and his
scintillating century against the Kenyans at Bristol on Sunday. However, the city is quite
aware that Azharuddin's team will have to perform beyond what even the most diehard fan
would like it to for India to make it to the Super Six.
