The Changing Face of Our Media
 Chandan Mitra
As small towns witness an economic boom, so does local media which focuses on issues that are far removed from national concerns. Is an India vs Bharat disconnect emerging? Years ago, when I was Editor of The Sunday Observer, we had done an Agenda report titled ‘Rise of the small town'. Incidentally, Agenda has been a trademark for me: I introduced it first as Editor of Section II in The Times of India in 1988, carried it into The Sunday Observer and briefly even to Hindust...

Here Dynasty Yes, There Dynasty No
Amba Charan Vashishth
There is no gainsaying the fact that Congress general secretary and Congress supremo Mrs. Sonia Gandhi's son Mr. Rahul Gandhi is, like Prince Charles of UK to the British throne, the heir apparent to the Congress throne whenever he wishes or Mrs. Gandhi wants.

The Editorial Team

Dharamveer
Islam's prescription for how to live life is simple - live as Muhammad did and said. His words and deeds are recorded in the Kuran and Hadith, and Islam says that is the blueprint for the perfect life - the life Allah wants every Muslim to live. Islam, more than submission to Allah's will, is a religion of total submission to Muhammad's words and the example of his deeds. It is all about one man - Muhammad. This is why you see muslims with their beards dyed red (Muhammad had his dyed...
