Most Promising Young Political Leader-Rahul GANDHI


Most analysts refer to him as the man who just might turn out to be the youngest Prime Minister ever of India – beating even the record set by his father Rajiv Gandhi. Yet, Rahul Gandhi not only represents an era that is dramatically diff erent from Rajiv Gandhi’s in terms of hopes; but also in terms of cold political calculations. The Camelot-like aura that surrounded Rajiv Gandhi no longer exists; and son Rahul seems to have understood this political message extremely well. He knows that he can lead the Congress party as and when he wants and sycophants will come running at the drop of a hat. But Rahul looks capable of handling all that.

Honda’s lackadaisical approach

Worse, Honda’s lackadaisical approach shows in their focus on developing their dealer outlets. While Hyundai has 157 outlets and Maruti has 300, Honda has just 51 outlets as on date. Honda India does counter that dealer outlets are “likely to go up from the current level of 51 outlets to 66 by the end of this financial year.” Lastly, although almost 20% of the Indian automobile market comprises diesel vehicles, Honda (which develops advanced diesel engines for Europe, where 50% vehicles are diesel), is totally spaced out with respect to this sector.

Their story is indeed intriguing

The race was flagged off and as the bell sounded, the two horses started off head to head, and then Seabiscuit began inching forward creating a lead of two lengths and maintained it until the backstretch, where War Admiral, as is his wont, caught up with Seabiscuit. Horse to horse, neck to neck they set the track ablaze. With about two hundred yards to cover, Seabiscuit began taking the lead, Woolf let go of the whip and Seabiscuit pushed on to leading by two lengths, then three lengths and finally finishing the race with élan by a full four lengths, with what flourish! The stands erupted and the crowd went completely berserk, for it was indeed the victory of the indomitable spirit that flickers in every heart, though it takes a spark like this to make an all consuming inferno of it!

Once NATO had forced the central and eastern European communist states to join hands under the Treaty of Friendship (popularly known as the Warsaw Pact). But with communism losing its ground in Europe and their major power, Soviet Union, breaking into pieces, the treaty lost its value absolutely and finally got dissolved officially in July 1991. Very interestingly, nine of the members and successor states of the Warsaw Pact have joined NATO after the pact was dissolved; proving the deliberate involvement of NATO in the dissolution.
