He pursues controversies on economics, history and anything else which catches his attention. He is also a British parliamentarian sitting in the House of Lords. He has written over 25 books, over 200 articles in learned journals and hundreds of newspaper columns in UK and India.
Out of my mind: Creation of a political myth
The victory of the incumbent will be hard for opponents to explain.
IT is most likely that the incumbent BJP/NDA a.k.a. Modi government will be returned to power. We can debate the number of seats that one or the other party gets. It was argued before the election was announced that a grand coalition of all opposition parties could and would defeat Narendra Modi. Of course, no party entering an election will claim anything less. The various state chief ministers — the satraps — had begun jostling for prime ministership in the forthcoming government they were hoping to form. Then Stalin’s endorsement of Rahul Gandhi’s choice as prime minister began to roll back the juggernaut of the grand coalition. Others joined Stalin and it became clear that the Congress had its own plan.
