The Tory Anarchist | The Weekly Standard
George Orwell,The Tory Anarchist | The Weekly Standard:
Orwell is relevant even today as like many of us Hindus he was a bundle of contradictions. He, like us, loved the past, hated the present and dreaded the future.

Broken Windows - George L. Kelling|James Q. Wilson - The Atlantic:
Didn't we learn since our childhood that a stitch in time saves nine? Kautilya, the great Indian theoretician & practitioner of politics, said: " soochimukha hyanartha", devastating events originate like the mouth of a needle. If we take care from the beginning we'll not have to face devastation. Broken Windows theory says the same thing.

Assam’s tragedy has roots in history
Assam’s tragedy has roots in history: Ram Jethmalani in Sunday Guardian
Most of our problems have root in history, Assam is no exception. Broken Window theory explains most of our problems. Had our leaders taken care to understand and sort out the problems when they arose our history, society, economy and polity would have been different.

Disturbing trends in judicial activism?
The Hindu : Opinion / Lead : Disturbing trends in judicial activism:
Judicial activism is the stepping in of judiciary in the domain of executive and legislature. When other institutions fail to perform their assigned duty the Supreme Court as guardian of the constitution has to step in . Friends of the Govt don't take kindly to this development, but the common people look towards judiciary to rein in the unresponsive and irresponsible govt.
