"Saddened to learn of the passing of General Philippe Morillon of France one of the most colourful of the many remarkable generals I had the privilege of interacting with during my tenure leading the @un HQ team handling the civil war in the former Yugoslavia in the first half of the 1990s. His courageous stand in Srebrenica became the subject of great controversy when his successors proved unable to keep his word to protect the town and its people from besieging Serb forces. I found him forthright in his views and a man of great moral conviction. May his soul rest in peace. 🕉"

"It is a lamentable irony that todays "Bharat Bandh" is in reality merely another "Kerala Bandh." While the rest of India has evolved beyond such coercive disruptions Kerala remains uniquely held hostage by this organized tyranny of the minority over the unorganized majority.

We have driven industry away with our militant unionism; now by clinging to these antediluvian methods of "muscle power" that"
