More investment in rural infrastructure ...... Rajiv Gandhi famously remarked that only 15 percent of government money intended for India's poor ever reached them. Most of it leaks out in bureaucratic incompetence or corruption

Mayawati, a dalit woman, has ruled India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, as chief minister three times, and now enjoys a secure majority.
A king who could do no wrong a good student “always affable, polite and attentive, deferential toward his parents, wore jeans like other students at Harvard at the time, and retained his remarkable modesty even after he returned to Nepal and became officially...both an emperor and a god, albeit of a benign and approachable sort ........ such as his view on the appropriate solution of the Kashmir problem.
