Greece has Dared to Fail by Pullarao Pentapati

Pullarao Pentapati – Greece is perhaps the oldest and greatest civilization of man. The Chinese and Indian civilizations and some South American civilizations have also been very old.

Nitesh Kumar Trapped in His Own Drama

While India is fixated on   Kejriwal, there is a much more serious political drama going on in Bihar. While BJP lost Delhi, Bihar will have new political equations favorable to   BJP.  The was the  Bihar fight erupted between  Ex- Chief Minister   Nitesh  Kumar and  present Chief Minister  Jitan Ram Manjhi  has become a  comedy and  Nitesh Kumar looks like the comedian  . Delhi is a small state with 7 MPs and Bihar has 40 MPs.  What happens in Bihar is closely watched by Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bengal, Odisha and Chhattisgarh.  Nitesh Kumar is facing a very embarrassing situation as one of his followers has rebelled. “A man in my position cannot afford to look ridiculous “said a famous Hollywood film producer in the greatest film “The Godfather.

Instead of appointing a senior and powerful minister as Chief Minister, Nitesh Kumar appointed a docile Dalit leader Jitan Ram Manjhi as Chief Minister.

BJP Made Too Many Mistakes in Delhi Elections

Strangely, it does not matter who rules the capital of USA, England, Russia or France. Can anyone remember the name of the Mayor of Bombay?  Though Delhi is smaller than most cities, the election in Delhi has become extremely important for politicians.

Congress   has not recovered from this shock.

Telangana can be very successful

Greater Hyderabad is the largest concentration of Telugus in the world. For Telugus to be a successful ethnic and language group in the world, Hyderabad and Telengana must be economically successfully.  Since the division of the State into two, people would have realized that the promises made to the two States in Parliament and outside are not honored at all and no one really cares.  We are on our own.  One cannot predict political success. But one can definitely plan an economic success story. Actually it is very simple. If Telengana is to be successful, all it has to do is to ensure that things go on as usual. There will be automatic economic growth and prosperity.
