Hold simultaneous elections to Parliament and State Assemblies.


Why should we not revert back to the earlier system of having the Parliamentary and state Assembly polls simultaneously?

'Anne of Green Gables'


Saw a report in a newspaper about a Canadian play 'Anne of Green Gables' being performed by students of a school in Chandigarh....I may sound parochial but wonder what relevance has this play to Indian conditions....surely there are many good plays in Hindi and other Indian languages which can be staged...
