FOR THE RECORD
MANMOHAN SINGH
'Why The India Story Looks So Good'
The PM talked about the inevitability of reforms, benefits of liberalisation and globalisation and also about how 'India has never reneged on its international commitments'. No, he didn't bring in the nuke deal, but wonder if it would still make the Left see red.

If Brajesh Mishra's recent statements reflect the attitude of the BJP there can be major re-alignment of political forces over the nuclear deal. Contrary to media reports, AB Vajpayee is mentally as alert as ever.

Al Qaeda has a global view. It does not differentiate between the regimes in India and Pakistan for targeting. China's cooperation to fight terrorism would be crucial.
