We do not know how to leave India, and therefore let us see if we know how to govern it.
The plan for Ireland ought to be produced by the government of the day.
But as I read it, as I listen to serious Indian experts with large experience, it all sounds estrangement and alienation even though it be no worse than superficial.
With a few exceptions, a political speech like the manna in the wilderness loses its savour on the second day.
