What They Said

Focus (I&C- Nov. 2016) “KASHMIR: A QUESTION WITHOUT ANSWER” Very interesting read. I couldn't but respond. Never before have I got such factual and complete account of the Kashmir issue in such a crisp and brief write-up. You like it or hate it, but you cannot ignore it. That is the reality of Kashmir for Indians like me. An ignoramus like me who, for the most part has seen Kashmir in the milieu provided by truncated and often motivated news, your “focus” has proved to be educative, enlightening and objective.
Despite the dismal title, your analysis and the eventual prognosis hold out enough hope if only our political class adopts a unified and lasting vision in the interest of our compatriots in Kashmir and as you boldly assert, it is very much in the realm of the possible. May there be peace and happiness in Kashmir.                                                               -Norbert Shenoy, San Francisco, Via Email


We truly admire your single handed commitment to the profession of journalism and at the same time, using the medium to promote service for social causes and serve them oneself. And your plan to handover the baton to the next generation with a cooperative institutional setup is still more admirable. This small amount is our humble contribution in furtherance of the noble cause you have visualized.

Dr. S. L. Shetty, Director, EPW Research Foundation, Mumbai.    

Thank you very much for the time taken to write and words of appreciation on our efforts. Your cheque of Rs 10,000/- as your participation in our possible co-operative effort is gratefully acknowledged. Thank you for being a good human being.                                              Editor 

Focus (I&C- Nov. 2016) “KASHMIR: A QUESTION WITHOUT ANSWER”  As always, a well-written piece. The insight (hindsight) on Sheik Abdullah is commendable.

I was happy to have received the 200th edition of ISSUES&CONCERNS. At the outset my hearty congratulations for the feat. Yours in a one man army. Salute to your spirit of endurance. We the readers are proud to be associated with I&C, it’s not everybody’s reading material.
The event of the 200th release was very well organized. Everybody spoke meaningfully, be it Prof. Dr. Satish Rao, Prof. Dr. Ravishankar Rao, or Mr.M.R.Vasudeva. Toast of the evening however, was the speeches of Justice N Santosh Hegde and Prof. B.M. Hegde. Prof. Hegde in particular can create wonder through his inspiring straight forward talk. Justice Hegde’s talk about the rot in public life was an eye opener to realise that there is so much catching up to do for the country and our countrymen. You do feel, Oh! Poor Mother India.
All in all the programme was worth attending. Wishing you and your team all the best for the coming years.                                                                            -Chaithra Padukone, Nitte, Via Email


Liked Dr. B.M. Hegde’s article on cancer in I&C Oct. It is what we eat gives us cancer. Sharing and caring (spirituality) is answer for all problems. But the Making-a-Difference, over importance has been given for such a thing to maintain population. We are two and we should bring up at least two for the society, that is our duty towards the society particularly those who can afford. 
Why people are not going for second child is because they do not want to take trouble, want to enjoy physically, forgetting their duty towards society.                 Dr Pandurang Nayak, Via- Email

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin. Our interest is only with reference to India in general and Jalianwala Baag in particular. 13th April 1919 was some 7 years before Queen Elizabeth was even born. It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

Focus for October 2022

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
